Materials and methods This retrospective study compared the results of anesthesia in patients who underwent inguinal herniorrhaphy using two different methods: inhalation anesthesia and balanced anesthesia. For the purposes of this study, inhalation anesthesia refers to an anesthetic technique in which the primary anesthetic is introduced to the bloodstream via the lungs rather than by injectio...

the viewpoint of not only animal welfare but also the reliability of pharmacological studies. The type of anesthetics used may vary depending on the type of experiment required or the study design. Some anesthetics have cardioor renoprotective effects, which may be relevant in designing ischemiareperfusion protocols. Several studies have examined the influence of commonly used anesthetics on th...

Isoflurane and sevoflurane are the two most commonly used inhalation anesthetics in veterinary medicine today. This study compared the anesthetic effects between isoflurane and sevoflurane in 17 calves undergoing surgery for placement of portal and jugular vein cannulas. Using a randomized control trial, calves were assigned to receive sevoflurane or isoflurane. Anesthesia was induced with xyla...

Sevoflurane is the most widely used modern inhalational anesthetic in world. “gold standard” for management now. The article discusses possibilities of using inhalation anesthesia, and experience domestic “Sevoflurane Chemoteka” by authors from point view its effectiveness safety.

PURPOSE To introduce a model of equipment for inhalation anesthesia in rats that offers better control of both flow and losses of ether during induction, maintenance, and recuperation. METHODS The equipment consists of an air compressor with two outlets, a closed glass induction chamber, a glass reservoir for the anesthetic agent, a pediatric inhalation mask, a three-way stopcock, a Y-connect...

Nitrous oxide is the most commonly used inhalation anesthetic in dentistry and is commonly used in emergency centers and ambulatory surgery centers as well. When used alone, it is incapable of producing general anesthesia reliably, but it may be combined with other inhalation and/or intravenous agents in deep sedative/general anesthetic techniques. However, as a single agent, it has impressive ...

OBJECTIVES To compare the cost-effectiveness of inhalation of sevoflurane, target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol, intravenous (IV) propofol for induction-inhalation of sevoflurane, and IV propofol for induction-inhalation of desoflurane for anesthesia maintenance in day surgery. METHODS 240 patients, scheduled for elective day surgery, were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 60 each):...
