We conducted a retrospective study to investigate the anesthesia-controlled time and factors that contribute to prolonged extubation in open colorectal surgery. Using our hospital database, demographic data, various time intervals (waiting for anesthesia time, anesthesia time, surgical time, emergence time, exit from operating room after extubation, total operating room time, and post-anesthesi...

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...

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and combined of intravenous and inhaled anesthesia (CIIA) on intraoperative awareness in surgical patients.A total of 678 patients were recruited in the CIIA group, while TIVA group included 566 patients. The clinical characteristics and the occurrence of intraoperative awareness were compared between...

BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a significant cause of morbidity among patients undergoing general anaesthesia. The optimal strategy for prevention of PONV, however, remains unclear. This study compared two commonly used prophylactic strategies in high-risk, day-case, gynaecological surgery patients. METHODS We conducted a randomized trial comparing sevoflurane combined...

The characteristics of recovery from total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol and inhalation anesthesia with isoflurane was clinically compared in 149 client-owned dogs that anesthetized for surgical or diagnostic procedures. In all dogs, anesthesia was induced with an intravenous injection of propofol following premedication with acepromazine or diazepam. As a result, 58 dogs anesthet...

The prone position may cause cardiovascular system depression. Yet, the mechanisms involved and preemptive measures are not well understood (Edgcombe et al. (2008)). During spinal surgery in the prone position, hypotension may occur. Implicated factors include prolonged abdominal compression impeding venous return resulting in increased blood loss, decreased cardiovascular reserve, and the use ...

BACKGROUND There is growing interest in the anesthetic approach using total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol and remifentanil for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). The aim of this study was to compare between the two anesthetic techniques for preventing PONV in the patients undergoing mastoidectomy with tympanoplasty. METHODS After obtaining informed conse...

BACKGROUND The effects of total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) and balanced anaesthesia (BAL) on coughing during emergence from the general anaesthesia have not yet been compared. METHODS Fifty patients, aged 18-60 yr, undergoing elective lumbar disk surgery were randomly allocated to undergo TIVA (propofol-remifentanil) or BAL (fentanyl-nitrous oxide-sevoflurane). Extubation was performed in...

IMPORTANCE Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol has been associated with reduced operative time, decreased perioperative risks, and decreased intraoperative blood loss compared with inhalational anesthesia (IA). During endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), reduced bleeding from the mucosal surfaces could improve visualization of the anatomy and decrease the risk of serious complications....
