Wide-awake surgery is a surgical procedure which not used tourniquet and any sedation by using the function of lidocaine epinephrine through tumescent injection technique. The biggest advantages wide-awake are prevention systemic risk general anesthesia surgeon can confirm result moving patient’s joint tendon during operation. But some modification may be beneficial for patient. For decreasing ...

Thirty-eight patients with late sequelae of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB seq.) were studied to clarify the characteristics of sleep desaturation in comparison with 40 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). While awake, the TB seq. group had a lower % VC and a higher PaCO2. In both groups, the sleep lowest SaO2 was positively correlated with the awake SaO2. The regression line...

The auditory brainstem response (ABR) is commonly used as a neonatal hearing screening tool. The degree to which myogenic and/or movement artifact can confound the ABR in neonates, and the effect this has on screening pass-fail rates, although widely recognized, have not been reported. This study addressed these aspects in a clinical setting. Fifty-two high-risk neonates were screened in variou...

Awake craniotomy is a neurosurgical technique performed either as an asleep-awake-asleep or monitored anesthesia care technique, in combination with scalp block. The surgery indication has been well documented for brain tumor excision at the eloquent cortex, epilepsy and deep stimulation surgery. However, this technique’s use during unruptured cerebral aneurysm clipping only recently reported. ...

The effect of anesthesia or an N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) glutamatergic antagonist (MK-801) on bladder hyperactivity induced by unilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion was examined in female rats. Before infarction, control bladder contractions were monitored in two groups of rats: 1) awake and 2) urethan anesthetized. The awake rats were then anesthetized with halothane, and MCA occ...

OBJECT Awake craniotomy for removal of intraaxial tumors within or adjacent to eloquent brain regions is a well-established procedure. However, awake craniotomy failures have not been well characterized. In the present study, the authors aimed to analyze and assess the incidence and causes for failed awake craniotomy. METHODS The database of awake craniotomies performed at Tel Aviv Medical Ce...

The awake craniotomy procedure has become the gold standard for tumour resection in eligible patients. In this paper, the awake craniotomy procedure is reviewed, including the advantages of the procedure over the standard craniotomy procedure. The role of the neuroscience nurse in awake craniotomies is highlighted.

Abstract A precise characterization of the incoming proton bunch parameters is required to accurately simulate self-modulation process in Advanced Wakefield Experiment (AWAKE). This paper presents an analysis bunches used later stages AWAKE Run 1 data-taking period. The transverse structure observed at multiple positions along beamline using scintillating or optical transition radiation screens...

Growing evidence associates blood pressure (BP) variability with cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients. Here we tested the existence of a relationship between awake BP variability and target-organ damage in subjects referred for suspected hypertension. Systolic and diastolic BP variability were assessed as the standard deviation of the mean out of 24-hour, awake and asleep BP recording...
