Background: Because of airway stimulations during the bronchoscopy and lack of direct access to the airway, preferred method of anesthesia for rigid bronchoscopy is already controversial. In this study we compared inhalation anesthesia with total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) for rigid bronchoscopy. Method and Materials: 30 patients aged 2-6 years were chosen divided on two same groups. Anesthe...

To the Editor: I read with great interest the article by Leslie et al. describing the electroencephalographic correlates of dreaming during anesthesia. Their conclusion that traits of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are expressed during emergence from anesthesia is provocative. It is of historical interest to note that a common mechanism of dreaming during both sleep and anesthesia was predicted...

Lallemantia royleana (Balangu) is a well known Iranian medicinal plant that its seed mucilage has many applications in modern pharmacology. Plant mucilage traditionally was used as a gel supplement, and natural matrix for sustained release of drugs. But it seems that these compounds are not a simple additive and also have many undiscovered pharmacological properties. In this research, the anest...

Anesthesia delivery in the United States has evolved significantly over the past 30 years with the introduction and routine use of pulse oximetry, capnography, modern drugs, and newer airway management devices, and there is general consensus that the anesthetic experience in 2011 is far safer than the anesthetic experience of 1980. However, those of us delivering anesthesia care during much of ...

The rapid pace of change in modern medicine makes training on simulation platforms an absolute necessity. With the microprocessors the sophistication of simulators exploded. More recently medicine has developed simulators that are becoming increasingly sophisticated, especially in anesthesia training but also to train intensive care personnel. This is an area that will rapidly advance in the fu...

Abstract Gynecologic oncology is considered a new field, but its roots are buried deep in the past. As with other tumors, earliest progress modern times started anesthesia and surgery. This was followed by landmark achievements pathology, cytology, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, tumor virology, generation of high-quality evidence, and, more recently, genetics genomics. Some most notable progresses...
