NEUROSCIENCES AND NEUROANAESTHESIA Incidence of adrenal insufficiency after severe traumatic brain injury varies according to definition used: clinical implicationsy
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 determined according to various definitions used in the literature.

Editor’s key points † The combined effect of ketamine and medetomidine on cognition and apoptosis was studied in mice. † No differences were seen between groups in terms of spatial memory or apoptosis. † Hyperlocomotive activity in mice receiving ketamine was attenuated by medetomidine. † Co-administration of ketamine and medetomidine may be clinically useful. Background. Ketamine is increasing...

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. 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 regula...

Editor’s key points † Conscious experience requires ‘cognitive binding’ which integrates multiple current perceptions into a unified experience. † Communication between distant brain regions may be facilitated by long-range synchronization of electrical activity. † Anaesthetic agents may disrupt consciousness by impairing this communication. † The current study investigated the effects of gener...
