background: deliberate hypotension is a strategy that reduces intraoperative bleeding and increases the speed of surgery in otolaryngology procedures. magnesium (mg) sulfate is a vasodilator agent that reduces intraoperative hypnotic requirements and in combination with analgesic agents, it reduces intraoperative and postoperative pain. in this study we evaluated the use of intravenous mg sulfa...

abstract radionuclide cisternography (rnc) is of potential value in pointing out the sites of cerebrospinal fluid (csf) leakage in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (sih). in the current report, we present two patients who underwent rnc for suspected csf leakage. both patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and rnc for evaluation. we describe a simple method to incr...

background : one of the most prevalent side effects of hemodialysis is intradialytic hypotension and its symptoms. using sodium profiles 3 and ultra filtration profile 3 and cold dialysate are the ways to overcome this problem. since none of these methods could control this complication lonely, this study was done to investigate the effect of combination of two methods on intradialytic hypotens...

Spinal cord injury is a devastating chronic condition resulting in temporary or permanent motor,sensory or autonomic dysfunction of the cord. The manifestation of spinal cord injury based onthe severity and involved areas could be different. Numerous studies have demonstrated thatbradycardia, hypotension, and orthostatic hypotension are present insignificant number ofpat...

objectives the main objective of this study was to design and construct an optical device to determine the rbv in patients undergoing hemodialysis, during the process. materials and methods after initial studies in order to select a proper sensor, using the orcad software, an analog circuit was designed. the implementation and modification of the circuit was done by the clinical tests, using ex...

abstract background: spinal anesthesia for cesarean section is associated with a high incidence of hypotension. the synergism between intrathecal opioids and local anesthetics may make it possible to achieve reliable spinal anesthesia with minimal hypotension using a minidose of local anesthetic. methods: forty-four preeclamptic parturients undergoing cesarean section were randomized in two gro...

background despite controversies about the safest anesthetic technique for cesarean delivery in severely preeclamptic women, there is evidence that supports the use of spinal anesthesia in this group of patients. objectives this prospective randomized clinical trial was designed to determine the hemodynamic effects of low-dose spinal bupivacaine and the incidence of spinal anesthesia-associated...
