introduction: performance of painful diagnostic and therapeutic procedures is common in emergency department (ed), and procedural sedation and analgesia (psa) is a fundamental skill for every emergency physician. this studywas aim to compare the efficacy of remifentanil with fentanyl/midazolam in painless reduction of anterior shoulder dislocation. methods: in this randomized, double blind, cli...

objectives: the aim of this study was to assess and compare the characteristics of commonly used initial archwires by their load deflection graphs. materials and methods : this study tested three wire designs namely copper nickel titanium (cnt), nickel titanium (niti), and multi-strand niti (msnt) archwires engaged in passive self-ligating (psl) brackets, active self-ligating (asl) brackets or ...

BACKGROUND Remifentanil has been shown to be effective at treating potentially adverse hemodynamic responses to tracheal intubation even at low doses (< 1 µg/kg/min), which needs to be evaluated in patients with diverse cardiovascular conditions. METHODS A low-dose regimen of remifentanil (continuous infusion of 0.1 µg/kg/min, preceded by 0.5 µg/kg bolus) was given before induction with bolus...

OBJECTIVE AND AIM The objective of the following study is to examine the effectiveness and safety of suspension laryngoscopy under intubation with propofol and remifentanil alone for vocal fold nodule (VFN) excision. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 40 patients were equally and randomly assigned to elective VFN excision using suspension laryngoscopy under intubation with propofol and remifent...

Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury could lead to severe cardiovascular ischemic disease, including myocardial infarction and contractile dysfunction. Remifentanil demonstrated protective effect on I/R injury. The underlying pathophysiological mechanism was then investigated in this study. In the current study, primary cardiomyocytes were isolated from rats, preconditioned with remifen...

BACKGROUND Facial electromyography (FEMG) may have utility in the assessment of nociception during surgery. The difference between state entropy (SE) and response entropy (RE) is an indirect measure of FEMG. This study assesses an automated algorithm for remifentanil administration that is based on maintaining an entropy difference (ED) that is less than an upper boundary condition and greater ...
