NEUROSCIENCES AND NEUROANAESTHESIA Parecoxib for analgesia after craniotomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods. In a prospective double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, we investigated the analgesic effect of a single dose of parecoxib 40 mg given at dural closure in 82 patients undergoing elective craniotomies. Remifentanil was used intraoperatively, and i.v. morphine was titrated to the requirement in the post-anaesthetic unit. On the ward, i.m. morphine 5 mg as required and regular acetaminophen was prescribed. Morphine use and visual analogue pain scores were recorded at 1, 6, 12, and 24 h after surgery.

NEUROSCIENCES AND NEUROANAESTHESIA Memory priming during light anaesthesia with desflurane and remifentanil anaesthesia
Background. Previous studies of memory priming during anaesthesia with EEG monitoring have observed implicit memory effects for words presented during light and deep anaesthesia with and without surgical stimulation. We hypothesized that memory priming occurs under each of five different combinations of anaesthesia and surgery, and no significant differences occur in memory priming among the fi...

Methods. After spinal anaesthesia, sedation was achieved using a propofol target-controlled infusion (TCI) system to achieve a score of 4 on the Wilson sedation scale. The excitability of spinal motor neurones was determined by measuring the left median nerve F wave. F-wave persistence and the F/M ratio were recorded at pre-sedation as the control, during sedation, at arousal by mild physical s...

متن کاملNEUROSCIENCES AND NEUROANAESTHESIA Incidence of adrenal insufficiency after severe traumatic brain injury varies according to definition used: clinical implicationsy
Methods. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 113 traumatic brain injury patients within 10 days of their injury. They all had a high-dose corticotropin stimulation test performed because of haemodynamic instability. Blood cortisol concentrations were measured at baseline, 30 and 60 min after the administration of high-dose corticotropin. The incidence of adrenal insufficiency was determin...
متن کاملNEUROSCIENCES AND NEUROANAESTHESIA Unconscious auditory priming during surgery with propofol and nitrous oxide anaesthesia: a replication
Background. Priming during anaesthesia has been hard to replicate and the conditions under which it occurs remain poorly understood. We replicated and extended a recent study to determine whether intraoperative priming during propofol and nitrous oxide anaesthesia is a reliable phenomenon, whether it occurs due to awareness during word presentation and whether it is suppressed by a dose of fent...
