Haemodynamic effects of pneumoperitoneum and the influence of posture during anaesthesia for laparoscopic surgery Tập 38 Số 3 - Trang 276-283 - 1994
S. Odeberg, Olle Ljungqvist, T. Svenberg, P. Gannedahl, Martin Bäckdahl, A. von Rosen, Alf Sollevi
The laparoscopic operating technique is being applied increasingly to a variety of intra‐abdominal operations. Intra–abdominal gas insufflation, i.e. pneumoperitoneum (PP), is then used to allow surgical access. The haemodynamic effects of PP in combination with different body positions have not been fully examined. Eleven patients without signs of cardiopulmonary disease were studied befo...... hiện toàn bộ

Patients who had more than one type of pain within the same region were specially analysed concerning differential analgesic effects of the treatment, i. e. the patients served as their own control. Twenty‐eight of the 55 patients became pain free. In 21 patients alleviation o...... hiện toàn bộ
Assessment of postoperative nausea using a visual analogue scale Tập 44 Số 4 - Trang 470-474 - 2000
Jean G. Boogaerts, E. Vanacker, Laurence Seidel, Adelin Albert, Françoise Bardiau
Background: Assessment of postoperative nausea intensity is difficult because nausea is a subjective and unpleasant sensation. We propose using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) device to increase the efficiency and precision in the assessment of nausea. We carried out a pilot study on postoperative patients suffering from nausea to measure the degree of agreement betw...... hiện toàn bộ
