Related Articles [Opioids in Anesthesia.] Anaesthesist. 2008 Jul;57(7):729-42 Authors: Zöllner C, Schäfer M Opioids are the most effective and widely used drugs in the treatment of severe acute and chronic pain. They act through opioid receptors that belong to the family of G protein-coupled receptors. Three classes of opioid receptors (mu, delta, kappa), expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system, have been identified. The analgesic effect of opioids is mediated through multiple pathways of opioid receptor signaling (e.g., G(i/o) coupling, cAMP inhibition, Ca(++) channel inhibition). The standard exogenous opioid analgesics used in the operating room are fentanyl, sufentanil, morphine, alfentanil, and remifentanil. Preclinical pharmacology, clinical applications, and side effects will be reviewed in this chapter. PMID: 18685878 [PubMed - in process] ... Source: www.moreover.com --- 19 days ago

Related Articles Epidural Anesthesia and analgesia in liver resection and living donor hepatectomy. Transplant Proc. 2008 May;40(4):1165-8 Authors: Feltracco P, Brezzi ML, Barbieri S, Serra E, Milevoj M, Ori C Parenteral analgesics are still diffusely administered for postoperative pain after major liver resection, while epidural analgesia is widely criticized because of possible changes in the postoperative coagulation profile. The safety of regional Anesthesia in liver resections is based on appropriate timing of needle placement and catheter removal and on the individual's skill in performing both the puncture and the catheterization. In the absence of liver failure or in cases of only moderate hepatic dysfunction, the risk of neurologic complications and spinal hematomas does not appear greater than when an epidural is performed for routine abdominal or thoracic surgery. Various anesthetic strategies have been adopted to prevent bleeding during liver resection, such as fluid restriction, diuretic administration, and vasodilator drugs. Lowering central venous pressure (CVP) seems to play a prominent role in prevention of bleeding since an elevated CVP may be associated with increased blood loss at various phases of liver resection. However, a low CVP may not be tolerated by all patients: intraoperative hemodynamic instability may, in fact, easily ensue because of the cardiovascular depressant effects of anesthetics, surgical blood ...

In a surprise, the FDA has rejected Schering-Plough’s application to sell a drug called sugammadex, the company said. Even in today’s tough safety climate, the thumbs-down is unusual because it goes against the unanimous recommendation of outside experts to the agency that it approve the drug, the first of its kind. The drug, which would be [...] ... Source: hosted.ap.org --- 19 days ago

Anesthesia awareness is the phenomenon of a patient having general awareness so they can recall events that occurred during his/her surgery. Occasionally patients remember voices, machines beeping or, very rarely, may feel pain at the surgery site, according to this week's edition of The Medical Minute, a service of the Penn State Hershey Medical ... ...

My dog is 14-15 years old and she's going to be having her teeth cleaned, and have a small cyst removed from her paw next week (both will be done at the same time). They will use Anesthesia on her and have assured me everything will be ok. I'm afraid she won't wake up. Anyone know the chances? The vet said (and I quote) "Any dog that can walk in here on their own four legs, and assuming their blood work is ok, then Anesthesia will be fine." They will be keeping her overnight, but I'm just worried. ... Source: www.startribune.com --- 19 days ago

Dräger Medical , Inc., an American subsidiary of Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA, has just announced that its MRI-compatible Fabius Anesthesia machine has received FDA clearance. From now on sedating and anesthetizing all those wiggly toddlers and demented Gomers, who only move at the wrong time, will be easier and safer: no flying oxygen tanks, no five meter ventilating circuits. The Fabius MRI is designed for use with 1.5T and 3.0T MRI systems. An integrated Teslameter provides an acoustic alarm if the Fabius MRI is positioned within a field strength greater than 40mTesla (400 Gauss). The Fabius MRI employs the same user interface as Draeger’s Fabius GS, Fabius Tiro and Apollo machines, creating a uniform and consistent interface for the Anesthesia provider wherever Anesthesia is required. The size of the MRI system often requires the Anesthesia provider to be outside the room or some distance away from the device during an examination. To accommodate this, additional optical alarm displays (LEDs) at the top of the system provide visual indication for all alarm conditions for the safety of the patient in this specialized environment. The Fabius MRI also continues the same quality of care to which clinical personnel are accustomed - from the OR application to the MRI environment. The standard configuration includes the advanced ventilation modes (volume and pressure controlled, pressure support and SIMV) that are especially needed for ...
