Difficult tracheal intubation in obstetrics Tập 39 Số 11 - Trang 1105-1111 - 1984
R. S. Cormack, J. R. Lehane
SummaryDifficult intubation has been classified into four grades, according to
the view obtainable at laryngoscopy. Frequency analysis suggests that, in
obstetrics, the main cause of trouble is grade 3, in which the epiglottis can be
seen, but not the cords. This group is fairly rare so that a proportion of
anaesthetists will not meet the problem in their first few years and may thus be

International consensus statement on the peri‐operative management of anaemia and iron deficiency Tập 72 Số 2 - Trang 233-247 - 2017

SummaryDespite current recommendations on the management of pre‐operative
anaemia, there is no pragmatic guidance for the diagnosis and management of
anaemia and iron deficiency in surgical patients. A number of experienced
researchers and clinicians took part in an expert workshop and developed the
following consensus statement. After presentation of our own research data and
local policies and p... hiện toàn bộ
Dantrolene – A review of its pharmacology, therapeutic use and new developments Tập 59 Số 4 - Trang 364-373 - 2004
T. Krause, Mark U. Gerbershagen, M. Fiege, Ralf Weißhorn, Frank Wappler
SummaryHuman malignant hyperthermia is a life‐threatening genetic sensitivity of
skeletal muscles to volatile anaesthetics and depolarizing neuromuscular
blocking drugs occurring during or after anaesthesia. The skeletal muscle
relaxant dantrolene is the only currently available drug for specific and
effective therapy of this syndrome in man. After its introduction, the mortality
of malignant hype... hiện toàn bộ
Gabapentin: pharmacology and its use in pain management Tập 57 Số 5 - Trang 451-462 - 2002
Michael Rose, Peter Kam
Summary Although its exact mode of action is not known, gabapentin appears to
have a unique effect on voltage‐dependent calcium ion channels at the
postsynaptic dorsal horns and may, therefore, interrupt the series of events
that possibly leads to the experience of a neuropathic pain sensation.
Gabapentin is especially effective at relieving allodynia and hyperalgesia in
animal models. It has been... hiện toàn bộ
Timing of surgery following SARS‐CoV‐2 infection: an international prospective cohort study Tập 76 Số 6 - Trang 748-758 - 2021
SummaryPeri‐operative SARS‐CoV‐2 infection increases postoperative mortality.
The aim of this study was to determine the optimal duration of planned delay
before surgery in patients who have had SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. This
international, multicentre, prospective cohort study included patients
undergoing elective or emergency surgery during October 2020. Surgical patients
with pre‐operative SARS‐CoV... hiện toàn bộ
Paravertebral blockade Tập 50 Số 9 - Trang 813-815 - 1995
Per‐Arne Lönnqvist, J. W. Mackenzie, Ami K. Soni, I.D. Conacher
SummaryThe failure rate and complications were studied prospectively in 367
paediatric and adult patients who had received a thoracic or lumbar
paravertebral block. The overall failure rate was 10.1%; adults 10.7%; children
6.2%. The frequency of complications were: hypotension: 4.6%; vascular puncture:
3.8%; pleural puncture: 1.1%; pneumothorax: 0.5%. Since these results are
similar to those foun... hiện toàn bộ
Airborne transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 to healthcare workers: a narrative review Tập 75 Số 8 - Trang 1086-1095 - 2020
Nick Wilson, A. Norton, Francis Young, David W. Collins
SummaryHealthcare workers are at risk of infection during the severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 pandemic. International guidance suggests
direct droplet transmission is likely and airborne transmission occurs only with
aerosol‐generating procedures. Recommendations determining infection control
measures to ensure healthcare worker safety follow these presumptions. Three
mechanisms ha... hiện toàn bộ
