Comparison of topical lignocaine gel and fentanyl for perioperative analgesia in children undergoing cataract surgery.

28 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Opioids continue to remain the primary analgesics in children undergoing ophthalmic surgery, and their use may be associated with adverse effects like vomiting and respiratory depression. Topical anesthesia avoids these adverse effects ... Read more...

Prediction of proliferative diabetic retinopathy with hemoglobin level.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of hemoglobin (HGB) level in predicting proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). METHODS: We assessed 426 individuals without PDR at baseline (213 men; 213 women) from the Pittsburgh Epidemiology of Diabetes ... Read more...

Pressure autoregulation, intracranial pressure, and brain tissue oxygenation in children with severe traumatic brain injury.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Cerebral pressure autoregulation is an important neuroprotective mechanism that stabilizes cerebral blood flow when blood pressure (BP) changes. In this study the authors examined the association between autoregulation and clinical factors, ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Blood Pressure'

Definition: PRESSURE of the BLOOD on the ARTERIES and other BLOOD VESSELS.

Descriptor UI: D001794

Alternative terms: Blood Pressure; Pressure, Blood; Systolic Pressure; Pressure, Systolic; Pressures, Systolic; Diastolic Pressure; Pressure, Diastolic; Pulse Pressure; Pressure, Pulse;

Related Mesh Headings: Hypertension; Hypotension;

Allowable Qualifiers: drug effects; genetics; immunology; physiology; radiation effects;

Technical Notes: GEN; note specifics; "arterial" pressure = BLOOD PRESSURE and not also ARTERIES unless a specific artery; pressure within a specific vessel: coord vessel /physiol (IM) + BLOOD PRESSURE (NIM); do not add SYSTOLE; DIASTOLE; or PULSE unless particularly discussed; with diseases coord IM with disease /physiopathol (IM), not /blood (IM): Manual 23.28; blood pressure vs HYPERTENSION & HYPOTENSION: Manual 23.27+
