Low-dose 3 mg levobupivacaine plus 10 microg fentanyl selective spinal anesthesia for gynecological outpatient laparoscopy.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Lidocaine selective spinal anesthesia has been effective for short-duration gynecological outpatient laparoscopy. We compared the intraoperative effectiveness, anesthetic recovery times, and patient satisfaction after ... Read more...

Preserved memory function during bispectral index-guided anesthesia with sevoflurane for major orthopedic surgery.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Memory function under anesthesia is undesired but may arise from light hypnosis as well as stress-enhanced learning during surgery. The bispectral index (BIS, Aspect Medical Systems, Norwood, MA) is a monitor of hypnotic state that can ... Read more...

[Effect of dexmedetomidine on intraoperative somatosensory evoked potential monitoring]

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Intraoperative somatosensory-evoked potential (SEP) monitoring has become a part of neurosurgical procedures. In this study, we evaluated the effect of dexmedetomidine on SEP monitoring during neurosurgical anesthesia. METHODS: Eight ... Read more...
