base deficit is a non-respiratory indicator of acid base status. aim of this study is to assess relationship between the base deficit value in immediate post operative period of cabg and valvular heart disease with cardiopulmonary and in hospital outcome of patient. a total of 136 consecutive with cabg and valvular heart disease scheduled in study. 20 variables were determined during the pre-in...

This case report describes the anesthetic management and ventilation technique in the surgical treatmentof traumatic diaphragmatic hernia in a dog. A 5-month-old 8-kg female terrier with a history of car accidentwas presented for femoral fracture repair. Before anesthetic induction, marked tachypnea and dyspnea werenoted. Diaphragmatic hernia was diagnosed based upon radiographic and ultrasonog...

BACKGROUND Awareness during anesthesia is a serious complication with potential long-term psychological consequences. Use of the bispectral index (BIS), developed from a processed electroencephalogram, has been reported to decrease the incidence of anesthesia awareness when the BIS value is maintained below 60. In this trial, we sought to determine whether a BIS-based protocol is better than a ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Nowadays, severe anesthetic complications caused by the improper use of mechanical ventilators are rare. However, technical details even in recent models can be a trap for the anesthesiologist and threaten patient safety. The objective of this report was to demonstrate the importance of a careful analysis of the device to be used, as well as to detect and treat intraop...

BACKGROUND Sevoflurane and propofol are widely used anesthetics for surgery. Studies on the mechanisms of general anesthesia have focused on changes in protein expression properties and membrane lipid. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate neural function by altering protein expression. We hypothesize that sevoflurane and propofol affect miRNA expression profiles in the brain, expect to understand the me...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Isoflurane is considered a safe inhalational anesthetic. It has a low level of biotransformation, and low hepatic and renal toxicity. In clinical concentrations, it has minimal negative inotropic effect, causes a small reduction in systemic vascular resistance, and, rarely, can cause cardiac arrhythmias. The objective of this report was to present a case of severe hemo...

OBJECT The authors analyzed their series of carotid endarterectomies (CEAs), which were performed after administration of either a general or regional anesthetic, to determine whether the choice of anesthetic affected patients' clinical outcomes and length of hospital stay. METHODS A series of 803 consecutive CEAs performed between July 1990 and February 1999 was reviewed. Cases were analyzed...

This study evaluated the use of the injectable anesthetic, alphaxalone, as a single agent and in combination with ketamine, xylazine, and morphine in the Chilean rose tarantula, Grammostola rosea. Between two and four animals were evaluated for each anesthetic protocol, and two unanesthetized animals were evaluated for comparative purposes. Anesthetic duration, depth, and quality were assessed ...
