Can a lower inspired oxygen concentration during preoxygenation protect patients from postoperative atelectasis—without sacrificing safety? Preoxygenation with 100% oxygen is routine before ...

Purpose: The characteristics of ideal intravenous (i.v.) and inhaled anesthetic agents; the rationale for inducing anesthesia with i.v. anesthetics (particularly propofol); therationale for inducing ...

A new study strengthens emerging evidence that the act of going under anesthesia and coming out of anesthesia are distinct neurobiological processes. It also found that the parietal region of the ...

A large matched cohort study links perioperative etomidate exposure to higher 30-day mortality, pneumonia, and cardiovascular ...

Cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus) are widely used as animal models for infectious disease and immunological research. They emulate many aspects of human disease pathogenesis, and the introduction of ...

Having parents present during the induction of their child's anaesthesia improves the quality of that anesthesia, research shows. The effect of parental presence at anaesthesia induction on children ...

Etomidate, the most common anesthesia induction agent for emergency tracheal intubation, causes adrenal suppression and can lead to corticosteroid insufficiency. In a large trial, in-hospital death ...

Anesthetic induction chambers used for medical research are a substantial source of waste anesthetic gas (WAG). Ideally, any generated waste gas should be actively vented away from personnel operating ...

Intravenous (i.v.) anesthetics include etomidate, midazolam, propofol, thiopental, ketamine, and opioid agonists. The first four agents act by enhancing the activity of the inhibitory neurotransmitter ...
