VENOUS PRESSURE IN GENERAL ANESTHESIA

Venous Pressure in General Anesthesia.

Low central venous pressure anesthesia in major hepatic resection.

Blood loss and transfusion requirements are major determinants of morbidity and mortality following liver resection. This study evaluates the association of low central venous pressure [LCVP] with blood loss and blood transfusion during liver resection. Thirty consecutive hepatic resections were studied prospectively concerning CVP, volume of blood loss and volume of blood transfusion and renal...

Determination of Central Venous Pressure from Intraocular Pressure

Background: In many clinical situations, knowledge of central venous pressure (CVP) is important.  Measurement of CVP is not always possible. Objective: To determine if intraocular pressure (IOP) can be used as an estimate for CVP. Methods: IOP and CVP were measured concurrently in 30 candidates of coronary artery bypass graft surgery.  Those with carotid artery or jugular venous diseases as we...

General anesthesia

As anyone who has looked at a petunia or a pansy can testify, plants generate flowers with characteristic numbers and patterns of organs. The floral organs are derived from a pool of stem cells called the floral meristem. In wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana flowers (shown at lower left) the meristem gives rise to four sepals that enclose the bud, four white petals, six pollen-bearing stamens and ...
