conclusions in intervertebral herniated disc surgery, aprotinin and controlled hypotension treatments yielded similar results in terms of reducing blood loss and surgeon satisfaction with the field of operation. results 70 patients were identical in terms of demographics and the length of surgery. the two groups were not statistically different in terms of mean change in systolic, diastolic and...

background: deliberate hypotension is a strategy that reduces intraoperative bleeding and increases the speed of surgery in otolaryngology procedures. magnesium (mg) sulfate is a vasodilator agent that reduces intraoperative hypnotic requirements and in combination with analgesic agents, it reduces intraoperative and postoperative pain. in this study we evaluated the use of intravenous mg sulfa...

r has been said, with an element of truth, that progress in surgery is dependent upon advances in the field of anasthesia. The development of induced hypotension as an adjuvant to surgery is an excellent example of this interdependence. Fundamentally unrelated to anaesthesia, the techniques have been evolved almost exclusively by anaesthetists, who must be prepared to accept responsibility for ...

The surgeon may praise the anaesthetist for a bloodless field and the patient may awaken with a good operative result; but, has any particular risk been taken? Indeed, can the risk of using deliberate hypotension be assessed? A major problem is that many papers give an account of groups of patients safely undergoing surgery facilitated by controlled hypotension. However, each paper contains one...
