Case Description- Five lions (one female and 4 male) were presented for diagnostic andsurgical treatment (wound management, castration and radiography). Immobilization oranesthesia was necessary to complete the procedure.Treatment and Outcome - Immobilization was induced using intramuscular injection ofvarious drug combinations (xylazine, diazepam or midazolam in combination withketamine). Inha...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hemorrhoidectomy may be performed under several anesthetic techniques and in outpatient regimen. Postoperative pain is severe and may delay discharge. This study aimed at evaluating bilateral pundendal nerves block for post- hemorrhoidectomy analgesia. METHODS Bilateral pundendal nerves block with 0.25% S75:R25 bupivacaine was performed with nerve stimulator in 35 pa...

Background: The growing popularity of ambulatory anesthesia has led to the development newer drug regimens and combinations. We decided compare effects ketamine plus dexmedetomidine versus midazolam in procedural sedation. Aims Objectives: present study aimed on adequacy anesthesia, level sedation analgesia, hemodynamic respiratory parameters, recovery time, post-operative side short surgical p...

OBJECTIVE Spinal cord injury (SCI) patients had major trauma during surgery, which thus necessitates optimal choice of anesthesia drugs. The specific selection of anesthesia agents may affect body immune system. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the anesthesia effect of propofol and dexmedetomidine on the rat SCI and their effects of Th1/Th2. MATERIALS AND METHODS Improved ALLEN's pou...

Treatment of acute pain and hemodynamic changes after surgery is extremely important. Various drugs for pain relief after surgery have been studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a single dose of oral pregabalin on hemodynamic changes and duration of analgesia after spinal anesthesia in orthopedic surgeries of tibia fractures. This clinical trial was carried out on 120 pat...

We reviewed our experience to compare the effectiveness of epidural analgesia and total intravenous analgesia on postoperative pain control in patients undergoing endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Records of 32 patients during a 2-year period were retrospectively investigated. TIVA group (n = 18) received total intravenous anesthesia, and EA group (n = 14) received epidural anesthe...

220 July 2016 P mediana dorsalis (PMD) has been rarely visualized but is occasionally implicated as a cause of unilateral epidural local anesthesia. Herein, we demonstrate PMD using epidurography. a normal anteroposterior epidurogram should show contrast outlining the lateral margins of the epidural space bilaterally.1 Herein, we show a unilateral epidurogram through a midline epidural catheter...

General anesthesia (GA) and local anesthesia (LA) evolved on separate tracks. Procedures that could not be performed under LA were typically conducted under GA. Decoding of afferent linkage of peripheral noxious stimuli has provided important understanding that may change the way we traditionally treat surgical pain. In the 1980s, animal studies suggested that preemptive peripheral blocking of ...

Regional anesthesia is used extensively for obstetric patients. Of the estimated 4 million women that give birth in the United States each year, approximately 60% receive regional anesthesia. Of these, the overwhelming majority receive spinal or epidural analgesia or anesthesia. The purpose of this chapter is to review the anatomy, physiology, and techniques relevant to the administration of ne...
