Background: Early warning of potential damage to spinal cord during major spinal surgery is highly desirable to prevent post-operative neurological deficits. Wake-up test is a simple, safe and reliable method of recognition of such a complication, and has been extensively used in many spinal surgical units. The present study is evaluating the remifentanil, propofol versus alfentanil, propofol a...

Intubation without prior administration of muscle relaxants is a common practice in children and adults with potential difficult airways. We aimed to investigate the effects of adding different doses of propofol on tracheal intubation and the time to return of spontaneous breathing during inhalation induction of patients. 150 patients undergoing operations were randomly given propofol IV at 1.0...

objective: this prospective study performed to evaluate blood biomarkers alterations with administration of propofol for maintenance of anaesthesia during long oral and maxillofacial surgeries in order to estimate the risk of propofol infusion syndrome (pris). this rare syndrome often would be happened in long duration or high dose infusion which is characterized by the combination of metabolic...

OBJECTIVES Some propofol emulsion formulations contain EDTA or sodium metabisulfite to inhibit microbe growth on extrinsic contamination. EDTA is not known to react with propofol formulation components; however, sulfite has been shown to support some oxidation processes and may react with propofol. This study compared the oxidation of propofol and the formation of free radicals by electron para...
