BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The CEROF-HC is a public hospital specialized in ophthalmology. Anesthetic blocks for ophthalmic surgeries are common and effective. But the technique is not devoid of risks, and there is the possibility of meningeal perforation and injection of the local anesthetic (LA) in the central nervous system (CNS). The objective of this study was to report a case of brainstem ...

PURPOSE to describe the characteristics of the color density spectral array (CDSA) of bilateral bispectral index (b-BIS) monitoring system in patients with comatose nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). We hypothesized that CDSA could be helpful for monitoring NCSE in critically subjects if continuous EEG (cEEG) is not available. METHODS we retrospectively analyzed comatose patients admitt...

Abstract Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a commonly used diagnostic and monitoring modality in anesthetic practice. It neurosurgery for cardiac function detecting venous air embolism. TEE semi-invasive procedure considered to be reasonably safe with few complications. During neurosurgical cases, access the head end limited can cause injury due prolonged contact. These injuries noticed...

In modem pediatric anesthesiology continuous monitoring of the patient is essential for the safe conduct of the anesthesia. Artificial metering of oxygen, the host of new anesthetic agents and techniques, and assisted or controlled respiration can cause sudden critical changes in the status of the patient. The newer halogenated agents may cause abrupt -cardiac incompetence either through direct...

intrathecal administration of midazolam has been reported to have antinociceptive action, and to be an effective analgesic agent. in this prospective double-blind study we aimed to evaluate the postoperative effects of intrathecal midazolam with lidocaine following perineal operation. forty patients were randomly allocated to two groups: 20 patients in the control group received 2 ml of 5% heav...

BACKGROUND Anesthetic sensitivity is determined by the interaction of multiple genes. Hence, a dissection of genetic contributors would be aided by precise and high throughput behavioral screens. Traditionally, anesthetic phenotyping has addressed only induction of anesthesia, evaluated with dose-response curves, while ignoring potentially important data on emergence from anesthesia. METHODS ...
