Monitoring of blood sugar during surgery

Assessment of factors affecting on reduction of fast blood sugar before elective surgery in children

Introduction: Reduction in blood sugar and prolong the duration of fasting in infants and children’s surgery have many damages. The aim of this study is to determine the affecting factors on the reduction of fasting blood sugar before an elective surgery for children. Methods: This study is a randomized single-blind clinical trial and examining the patients that are performed on 60 chi...

Monitoring awareness during cardiac surgery.

I today’s anaesthesia, monitoring brain functions is of increasing concern to the anaesthesiologist. Over decades anaesthesiologists have been careful providers of safety for their patients. Attention was focused on haemodynamic stability, pulmonary function, metabolic balance and pain control. However, in the practical operation room settings, the brain seems to be merely a black box. But we h...

Intraoperative monitoring during vascular surgery.

The principal objectives of intraoperative monitoring are to improve perioperative outcome, facilitate surgery and reduce adverse events, using continuously collected data of cardiopulmonary,neurologic and metabolic function to guide pharmacologic and physiologic therapy. Although sophisticated and reliable apparatus may be used to collect these data they are useless, or even harmful, without p...

Nerve Monitoring During Brain Surgery

An area of special challenge, is the cerebellopontine angle (CPA), which is formed between the brain stem and the cerebellum, because of the close proximity of major nerve trunks and blood vessels. Acoustic tumours account for approximately 80% of CPA tumours, and surgery involves risk primarily to the facial nerve the motor nerve of facial expression, and the cochlear nerve the sensory nerve o...
