چکیده

Nerve conduction velocity has been studied in the ulnar nerve of human subjects before and during anaesthesia. No significant changes in velocity were observed following the administration of thiopentone, nitrous oxide, oxygen and halothane in normal clinical quantities. A transient increase in nerve conduction velocity was noted following the administration of paralytic doses of gallamine triethiodide to subjects receiving nitrous oxide, oxygen and halothane anaesthesia in whom ventilation was controlled.

The Effect of the Silicone Ring Tourniquet and Standard Pneumatic Tourniquet on the Motor Nerve Conduction, Pain and Grip Strength in Healthy Volunteers

  Background: The pneumatic tourniquet (PT) is routinely used in upper and lower limb operations by most orthopaedic surgeons. The silicone ring tourniquet (SRT) was introduced in clinical practice the last decade. Clinical as well comparative studies in volunteers concerning its safety and efficacy have been published. The aim of this study was to investigate the postoperative effect of the si...

The Relationship between Nerve Conduction Studies and Electromyography Findings in Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common neuropathy in the general population. Nerve conduction studies are among the standard methods for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome. Electromyography is painful and unpleasant, and if nerve conduction studies can be used to diagnose axonal injury in carpal tunnel syndrome, electromyography might be replaced. Objectives: This study aimed t...

Differential nerve blocking activity of amino-ester local anaesthetics.

The in vitro sensitivities to local anaesthetic blockade of A, B and C nerve fibres in rabbit vagus nerves were examined using a series of structurally similar amino-ester agents which varied in lipid solubility and anaesthetic potency. A fibres were found to be the most sensitive and C fibres the least sensitive to conduction blockade with all the agents, provided that equilibrium blockade was...

Determination of the distribution of conduction velocities in workers exposed to lead, zinc, and copper.

By measuring the distribution of conduction velocities (DCV) in sensory fibres of the median nerve, the effects of asymptomatic increased lead, zinc, and copper absorption on the conduction velocities of slower and faster nerve fibres were examined in 29 gun metal founders with blood lead (BPb) concentrations of 22-59 (mean 39) micrograms/dl (1.1-2.8 (mean 1.9) mumol/l). The results indicated t...

بررسی سرعت هدایت عصبی در اندام دارای فیستول شریانی - وریدی در بیماران همودیالیزی

Introduction: Arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) make chronic hemodialysis easy, but the complications are unpredictable. Ischemic neuropathy due to arterial insufficiency is one of the most important complications of AVF. This study was designed to evaluate ischemic neuropathy using electro diagnostic method in the extremity carrying fistula. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 37 hemodialysis ...
