The effect of gender on compensatory neuromuscular response to upper airway obstruction in normal subjects under midazolam general anesthesia.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Upper airway patency may be compromised during sleep and anesthesia by either anatomical alterations (mechanical properties) or disturbances in the neural control (compensatory neuromuscular responses). The pathophysiology of upper ... Read more...

[Evaluation of target-controlled infusion for propofol in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing living-related renal transplantation]

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: As we have no information whether target-controlled infusion (TCI) for propofol, using pharmacokinetic parameters obtained without chronic renal failure, is available to estimate the drug concentration, we examined the blood ... Read more...

Anesthesia for endoscopy in small animals.

30 Aug 2009 This article discusses considerations for general anesthesia for various endoscopic procedures in small animals. Specific drug and monitoring recommendations are made. Special physiologic concerns of individual procedures affecting the anesthetized ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Anesthetics, Intravenous'

Definition: Ultrashort-acting anesthetics that are used for induction. Loss of consciousness is rapid and induction is pleasant, but there is no muscle relaxation and reflexes frequently are not reduced adequately. Repeated administration results in accumulation and prolongs the recovery time. Since these agents have little if any analgesic activity, they are seldom used alone except in brief minor procedures. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p174)
