background: because of airway stimulations during the bronchoscopy and lack of direct access to the airway, preferred method of anesthesia for rigid bronchoscopy is already controversial. in this study we compared inhalation anesthesia with total intravenous anesthesia (tiva) for rigid bronchoscopy. method and materials: 30 patients aged 2-6 years were chosen divided on two same groups. anesthe...

introduction & objective: adequate and proper hydration during surgery is one of the duties of anesthesiologist. based on the different effects of dextrose–containing fluids and dextrose-free fluids on the level of blood sugar, we decided to evaluate the effects of these fluids on the blood sugar level after short-term surgeries. materials & methods: one hundred patients who were scheduled for ...

this study compared the effects of anesthesia with isoflurane and tiva (total intravenous anesthesia) on the intensity of body temperature reduction during anesthesia and incidence of chills after lumbar disc surgery. the study was done as a single blinded randomized clinical trial. from 60 patients who underwent lumbar disc surgery, 30 subjects were placed in isoflurane group and 30 in the tiv...

conclusions both protocols provide excellent anesthesia, but patients receiving sufentnail had more stable anesthesia and less postoperative pain. objectives we planned to compare two clinical protocols for tiva with propofol, and either sufentanil or alfentanil in regards to postoperative pain, hemodynamic stability during the case and time for emergence from anesthesia. patinets and methods t...

Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) is defined as a technique of general anaesthesia using a combination of agents given solely by the intravenous route and in the absence of inhalational agents. This article reviews the indications, advantages and disadvantages, principle, mode of administration, clinical techniques and drugs used for TIVA. Total intravenous anesthesia, or TIVA, can provide a...

background: long surgery causes hypothermia and increased bleeding and can increase the arterial blood lactate levels during anesthesia. it causes cellular hypoxia and its complications. considering the core temperature of the patient during surgery it can prevent hypoxia. this study aimed to compare the effects of different temperatures on the core temperature and the concentrations of lactate...
