Sevoflurane pharmacokinetics: effect of cardiac output

Clinical pharmacokinetics of sevoflurane.

Sevoflurane is a comparatively recent addition to the range of inhalational anaesthetics which has been recently released for clinical use. In comparison to older inhalational agents such as isoflurane or halothane, the most important property of sevoflurane is its low solubility in the blood. This results in a more rapid uptake and induction than the 'older' inhalational agents, improved contr...

the effect of pushed output collaborative tasks on the writing skills of efl learners

there is less published research about how teachers in efl contexts respond to students who are relatively less mature and less competent l2 writers. while writing researchers have examined various issues concerning peer and teacher response in writing-oriented classes, little research has centered on the effect of collaborative tasks particularly dictogloss on writing skills. output collaborat...

Effect of atrial fibrillation on cardiac output.

The introduction by Lown, Amarasingham, and Neuman (1962) of a safe, simple, and effective method of converting atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm has increased the interest in the effects of this arrhythmia on the circulation. Previous reports indicate scant agreement regarding the effects of atrial fibrillation on the cardiac output. Studies on groups of patients with and without atrial fibr...

Recirculatory pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of rocuronium in patients: the influence of cardiac output.

BACKGROUND Recirculatory models are capable of accurately describing first-pass pharmacokinetics and the influence of cardiac output (CO), which is important for drugs with a fast onset of effect. The influence of CO on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of rocuronium in patients was evaluated using a recirculatory pharmacokinetic model. METHODS Fifteen patients were included to s...
