Background: Pain and shivering are two unpleasant problems in postoperative period. Various techniques are used to alleviate the postoperative shivering and pain.  We compared the preemptive prescription of a single dose of intravenous meperidine and ketorolac on postoperative pain and shivering in patients undergoing cesarean section with spinal anesthesia. Methods: One hundred and ...

279 Page 1 Figure 1. A surfing analogy as a graphical explanation of how anesthesiologists use a combination of three approaches to administer anesthetics to maintain the anesthetic effect while making rapid recovery possible. Anesthesiologists target the upper portion of the " steep " part of the concentration-effect relationship so that small decreases in concentration translate into large de...

ultra rapid opioid detoxification (urod) is one of the new methods of detoxification. this method of detoxification involves putting patients under general anesthesia and actively giving them opioid antagonists. the objective of this study was to evaluate effects of anesthesia duration in urod on severity of withdrawal syndrome. sixty addicted patients seeking urod procedure assigned randomly t...

A series of 109 orthopedic operations was performed under intraosseous regional anesthesia on the upper and lower limbs. Anesthesia was satisfactory in 106 of the cases; in the other three, inadequate anesthesia was caused by faulty technique. The spread of lidocaine into the bone and venous network was demonstrated by radiography, and the blood levels after tourniquet release were below the to...

Abstract Background Shivering is a prevalent adverse event after spinal anesthesia, often disturbing to medical staff and hazardous patients. Intravenous magnesium sulfate [MgSO 4 ] has been proven be effective in prevention of post-spinal shivering. However, the risk intravenous route develop hypermagnesemia certain patients encouraged us do this study order investigate effectiveness intrathec...

B ACKGROUND: Propofol is an intravenous anesthetic used worldwide as an anesthesia induction and maintenance agent. Propofol also used as sedation agent in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Despite it’s usual anesthesia properties, propofol has an unique pharmacologic characteristic, especially as antioxidant and stress response reduction. These advantages suggested propofol has positive effects when ...

Background: Emergence agitation (EA) after sevoflurane anesthesia is common in children. When rapid intravenous induction of general anesthesia is indicated in a brief procedure, the induction agent can reduce the incidence of EA after sevoflurane anesthesia. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of intravenous induction with ketamine and propofol for reducing EA in children after s...
