Electroencephalography for Anesthesiologists and Surgeons

Clinical Electroencephalography for Anesthesiologists

The widely used electroencephalogram-based indices for depth-of-anesthesia monitoring assume that the same index value defines the same level of unconsciousness for all anesthetics. In contrast, we show that different anesthetics act at different molecular targets and neural circuits to produce distinct brain states that are readily visible in the electroencephalogram. We present a two-part rev...

Educational Need Assessment of Anesthesiologists and Surgeons in Transfusion Medicine

Introduction: Developing continuing medical education (CME) programs should be based on assessments of learners’ needs. On the other hand, one of the prevalent problems in Iran is the excessive use of blood products, and the highest demand for blood transfusion is related to surgical wards. Hence, the purpose of this study was to assess the educational needs of anesthesiologists and surgeons in...

Clinical Electroencephalography for Anesthesiologists: Part I: Background and Basic Signatures.

The widely used electroencephalogram-based indices for depth-of-anesthesia monitoring assume that the same index value defines the same level of unconsciousness for all anesthetics. In contrast, we show that different anesthetics act at different molecular targets and neural circuits to produce distinct brain states that are readily visible in the electroencephalogram.

Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy Guidelines in Thoracic Anesthesia for Cardiothoracic Anesthesiologists and Surgeons

cardiopulmonary resuscitation, chest compression only and teamwork from the perspective of medical doctors, surgeons and anesthesiologists

conclusions an insufficient formal education in cpr was registered for all groups, reflecting the lack of familiarity with new cpr methods. a team education, involving doctors and nurses may improve familiarity with cpr and patient outcomes. results the only difference between groups was regarding the male and female ratio, with more male surgeons (45, 55, and 11, p < 0.001). all doctors consid...
