Comparison of anesthetics in electroconvulsive therapy: an effective treatment with the use of propofol, etomidate, and thiopental
OBJECTIVES Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is considered to be one of the most effective treatments in psychiatry. Currently, three medications for anesthesia are used routinely during ECT: propofol, etomidate, and thiopental. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the anesthetics used in ECT on seizure threshold and duration, hemodynamics, recovery from ECT, and immediate s...
متن کاملEffects of i.v. anaesthetic agents on the chemotaxis of eosinophils in vitro.
Polymorphonuclear eosinophilic leucocytes (PME) participate in wound healing processes, the inflammatory response, bronchial asthma, allergies and defence against invading parasites. We have examined the effects of thiopental, methohexital, propofol, etomidate and ketamine on PME chemotaxis in vitro. PME were isolated from venous blood samples of 10 healthy volunteers using multi-stage Percoll ...
متن کاملEffects of etomidate, propofol and thiopental anaesthesia on arteriolar tone in the rat diaphragm.
We have assessed, by intravital microscopy in rats, the effects of different anaesthetics on diaphragmatic arteriolar diameter. Rats were anaesthetized with etomidate, propofol or thiopental (groups E, P and T, respectively) and the diameters of the arterioles were measured sequentially at baseline and after topical application of either mefenamic acid (MA, 20 mumol litre-1) or N omega-nitro-L-...
متن کاملStudy of direct variable anesthesia costs in the dilatation and curettage patient.
This retrospective study was designed to compare the cost of anesthesia in three different groups of patients who received general anesthesia for a diagnostic dilatation and curettage procedure. The analysis included 194 patients, ASA physical status I, II, or III. All patients were outpatients with similar body mass index and age. The three groups were thiopental/isoflurane (n = 13), propofol/...
متن کاملI.v. anaesthesia and EEG burst suppression in rats: bolus injections and closed-loop infusions.
We describe a system for monitoring and controlling i.v. anaesthesia in rats using burst suppression ratio (BSR) detection in the extradural EEG. After bolus injection, peak BSR values of 95% were achieved with propofol 8 mg kg-1, etomidate 3.5 mg kg-1 and alphaxalone 4.5 mg kg-1. Thiopental 32 mg kg-1 produced a peak BSR of 70% (larger doses were not tolerated). Recovery was fastest with propo...
