Purpose. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of nicardipine and lidocaine in attenuation of cardiovascular responses to endotracheal intubation.
Methods. In a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial, 60 unpremedicated (ASA I) patients undergoing elective sur-gery were given either 30 μg·kg−1 nicardipine or 1.5 mg·kg−1 lidocaine intravenously 2 min before intubation. Laryngoscop...... hiện toàn bộ
The effect of pentobarbital sodium on the dorsal horn of the spinal cordJournal of Anesthesia - Tập 8 - Trang 321-325 - 1994

The effect of intravenously administered pentobarbital sodium on the activity of single unit in Rexed lamina V of the transected feline lumbar spinal cord was studied using an extracellular microelectrode recording technique. Pentobarbital sodium 1.0 mg·kg−1, 2.5 mg·kg−1, and 5.0 mg·kg−1 administered intravenously suppressed both the spontaneous and the evoked activity in Rexed lamina V cells, kno...... hiện toàn bộ

For direct laryngoscopy, we compared midline and left-molar approaches with respect to ease of intubation, using a Macintosh blade. We investigated the relationship between failure of the left-molar approach and preoperative risk factors for difficult intubation. With local ethics committee approval, 200 consecutive adult, nonpregnant patients were included in the study. The demographic data, body...... hiện toàn bộ
Postischemic infusion of sivelestat sodium hydrate, a selective neutrophil elastase inhibitor, protects against myocardial stunning in swineJournal of Anesthesia - Tập 24 - Trang 575-581 - 2010

It seems controversial whether or not neutrophil elastase inhibitors are effective in attenuating myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. We thus investigated possible protective effects of sivelestat, a neutrophil elastase inhibitor, against myocardial stunning i.e., prolonged myocardial dysfunction following a brief episode of ischemia. Swine were divided into control group (group C), low-dose s...... hiện toàn bộ
Direct effects of Rho-kinase inhibitor on pial microvessels in rabbitsJournal of Anesthesia - Tập 29 - Trang 186-190 - 2014

Rho-kinase inhibitor is widely used for prevention of cerebral vascular spasm. However, the cerebral pial vascular action of Rho-kinase inhibitor has not been investigated. We therefore evaluated the direct effects of Y-27632, a Rho-kinase inhibitor, on pial microvessels. Experiments were performed on anesthetized rabbits. A closed cranial window was used to visualize the pial microcirculation. Af...... hiện toàn bộ
CT-guided nerve block: a review of the features of CT fluoroscopic guidance for nerve blocksJournal of Anesthesia - Tập 28 - Trang 94-101 - 2013
Shiro Koizuka, Kunie Nakajima, Rie Mieda
Nerve blocks are an attractive interventional therapy in pain medicine. Several image guidance methods are available to secure the safety, accuracy, and selectivity of the nerve block. Computed tomography (CT) guidance provides a clear view of the vital viscera and vessels that should be avoided by the needle, and accurate placement of the needle tip before neuro-destructive procedures.
