context the occurrence of intradialytic hypotension (idh) during hemodialysis (hd) continues to be a main problem in patients with esrd (end-stage kidney disease). it also negatively affects health-related quality of life. we aimed to determine vasopressin effect in decreasing idh. evidence acquisition we reviewed clinical and experimental literature in a variety of sources, including pubmed, c...

Endoscopic sinus approach has become one of the most common surgical techniques for endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery. Anesthetic management has an important impact on the overall patient management, from the preoperative assessment and management to the quality of the surgical field and the postoperative recovery. Hemostasis is critical for adequate anatomical endoscopic visualization. M...

conclusions intrathecal midazolam 2 mg provides significantly longer and effective postoperative analgesia with no side effects. results postoperative analgesia was significantly longer in the midazolam group compared to the control group (201.5 minutes vs. 357.6 minutes). the mean onset times of the sensory and motor blocks were significantly faster (p < 0.01) in the midazolam group compared t...

OBJECTIVE To characterize risk of hypotension requiring admission to hospital in middle aged and older men treated with tamsulosin for benign prostatic hyperplasia. DESIGN Population based retrospective cohort study (between patient methodology) and self controlled case series (within patient methodology). SETTING Healthcare claims data from the IMS Lifelink database in the United States. ...

UNLABELLED The Vasotrac device (Medwave, Arden Hills, MN) allows noninvasive measurement of arterial blood pressure (BP) and arterial waveform. We have previously demonstrated agreement between the Vasotrac and continuous intraarterial BP monitoring in children with a stable circulation after cardiac surgery in the cardiac intensive care unit. To assess this monitor during different physiologic...

During the routine use of controlled hypotension the electroencephalogram (EEG) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were monitored in 20 normotensive patients (younger than 70 years-of-age) receiving either trimetaphan (TMP) or sodium nitroprusside (SNP). The reduction in MAP was quicker and greater with SNP. Significant differences in EEG voltage between the two agents were seen in the range 55-4...

UNLABELLED To examine the dynamic properties of baroreflex function, we measured beat-to-beat changes in arterial blood pressure (ABP) and heart rate (HR) during acute hypotension induced by thigh cuff deflation in 10 healthy subjects under supine resting conditions and during progressive lower body negative pressure (LBNP). The quantitative, temporal relationship between ABP and HR was fitted ...

Objective To determine whether crystalloid infusion just after intrathecal injection (coload) would be better than infusion before anesthesia (preload) for hypotension prophylaxis in spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. Methods We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and other databases for randomized controlled trials comparing coload of crystalloid wi...

preeclampsia is very challenging for anesthetists due to the heterogeneous clinical spectrum of disease characterized by hypertension, risk hypotension, high aspiration, and difficult airway. Therefore, Meta-Analysis intended provide evidence on maternal neonatal outcomes preeclamptic parturient. A comprehensive strategy was conducted in PubMed/Medline, Science Direct, Cochrane from January 200...

BACKGROUND During surgical treatment of pheochromocytoma,`haemodynamic instability may occur. To prevent this, patients receive preoperative treatment with an alpha-blocker. Nowadays, some centres use phenoxybenzamine, while others use doxazosin. The purpose of this review is to analyse the current evidence of the benefits and risks of phenoxybenzamine and doxazosin in the preoperative treatmen...
