BACKGROUND Awareness during general anesthesia in different types of surgery is an important described adverse event. Bispectral (BIS) monitoring is one of the recent techniques proposed to monitor the depth of anesthesia. OBJECTIVES The present study tested the hypothesis that the awareness rate and changes in hemodynamic parameters within anesthesia would be lower in patients allocated to B...

During childbirth some pronounced hemodynamic displacements take place increasing together with the aggravation of uterine contractions, in such a way leading to the increased heart loading. We carried out the comparative investigation of hemodynamic indices in women with rheumatic heart disease depending on their bodies’ posture during labor. The obtained results testify the facts of decreasin...

nial vessel hemodynamic feature through time, to consider eventual revascularization. Therefore, complete neurological and neurosonological examination have been performed twice a year. It is noteworthy that no change in the hemodynamic pattern was noted so far, and that the patient is currently asymptomatic: during the last 4 years, all intracranial vessel showed stable high flow velocity and ...

The physiological characteristics of skin blood flow can be described in terms of the hemodynamic indices (HI). The HI is derived from the laser speckle characteristics, which are governed by the cutaneous blood flow. A miniaturized dynamic light-scattering sensor was used to measure the speckle pattern from the finger root. Three groups of subjects from 15 to 25 years of age were tested. The f...

M AINTAINING perioperative optimal cardiac preload in surgical patients is paramount for precise hemodynamic management. Hypovolemia may result in tissue hypoperfusion and worsened organ dysfunction, whereas fluid overload appears to impede oxygen delivery and compromise patient outcome. Several clinical and experimental studies have demonstrated the usefulness of dynamic indices based on heart...

Background Clinical and experimental observations of preand afterload independent indices of impaired cardiac contractile performance and hemodynamic dysfunction are limited by the poor true temporal resolution of cine MRI. We aimed to develop and optimize for the first time an imaging and reconstruction protocol for MRI real time measurement of cardiac pressure-volume relations and to compare ...

Hemodynamic instability often leads to hypoperfusion, which has a significant impact on outcome in both medical and surgical patients. Measures to detect and treat tissue hypoperfusion early by correcting the imbalance between oxygen delivery and consumption is of particular importance. There are several studies targeting different hemodynamic endpoints in order to investigate the effects of go...

Objective- The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of performing echocardiography in apparently healthy pigeons, and measurement of the quantitative cardiac indices using B-mode and Doppler techniques. Design- Experimental study Animals- Ten apparently healthy pigeons Procedures- Echocardi...

BACKGROUND Midazolam is commonly and safely used in poisoning management and intensive care for the control of agitated poisoned patients. Despite the introduction of newer and safer antidepressants, tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are still prescribed and used in many countries due to their cost-effectiveness. Severe morbidity and mortality associated with these drugs arises largely from thei...
