Proof of concept evaluation of the electroencephalophone as a discriminator between wakefulness and general anaesthesia.
BACKGROUND Depth of anaesthesia (DOA) monitors based on the electroencephalogram (EEG) are commonly used in anaesthetic practice. Their technology relies on mathematical analysis of the EEG waveform, generally resulting in a number which corresponds to anaesthetic depth. We have created a novel method of interpreting the EEG, which retains its underlying complexity. This method consists of turn...
متن کاملGeneral anaesthesia for neurosurgery.
Anaesthesia for neurosurgery, especially intracranial operations, requires conditions which maintain the perfusion of the brain with blood. This perfusion results from the cerebral perfusion pressure: the difference between the arterial and the intracranial pressures. Anaesthesia must also facilitate surgical access by reducing brain volume and minimizing surgical haemorrhage. Other common prob...
متن کامل3 General Anaesthesia
General anaesthesia is a tetrad of amnesia (unconsciousness), analgesia, control of autonomic reflexes and muscle relaxation. Amnesia (unconsciousness) is usually induced by intra-venous anaesthetic agents and then maintained by using inhalational anaesthetic agents. Analgesia is provided by various analgesic drugs or by regional/peripheral nerve blocks. Muscle relaxation component of general a...
متن کاملGeneral Anaesthesia in Cattle
General anaesthesia is the controlled and reversible loss of consciousness, which is helpful in ruminants for many surgical procedures that warrant effective control of pain and movement. General anaesthesia is indicated when the demands of technical and anatomical aspects of surgical procedure exceed the capabilities of sedative drugs and local analgesia. Moreover, the patient co-operation and...
متن کاملMassive Emphysema and Pneumothorax Following Shoulder Arthroscopy under General Anaesthesia: A Case Report
The patient was a 61-year-old female with massive rotator cuff tear who had no history of smoking, COPD, asthma, or other pulmonary diseases.
