This year we have 7 workshops and a total of 130 abstracts (33 poster presentations, 94 oral presentations, and 3 plenary speakers). I think that is the most we have ever had!! [vin.com]

Hemodynamic data were recorded at one minute intervals starting from induction till seven minutes after intubation,--the end point of the present study. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

At present commercial TCI systems are only available for propofol. [virtual-anesthesia-textbook.com]

This is due to its unique metabolism by tissue esterases including cholinesterases in erthrocytes. 6 The future Xenon Xenon may be the inhalational anaesthetic of the future. 7 It is an inert gas which is present in the atmosphere in a concentration of [pharmaceutical-journal.com]

• Acute Intermittent Porphyria

  • Induction of hepatic enzymes increases the rate of metabolism of some drugs • The induction of aminolevulinic acid synthetase stimulates the formation of porphyrin (an intermediary in heme synthesis), which may precipitate acute intermittent porphyria [slideshare.net]

• Hiccup

  The induction period was associated with pain at injection site in 31.2%, some muscle movements in 15.2% and hiccups in 8.8% of all the cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  […] for short procedures because of its prolonged duration of action. 5 Methohexital is similar to thiopental and has a similar spectrum of respiratory depression to thiopental. 5 Problems associated with the IV administration of methohexital are burning, hiccups [stage.uspharmacist.com]

• Constipation

  Adverse effects are generally similar to those of opioids, although they are usually less severe, and can include respiratory depression, dysphoria and constipation. [apicareonline.com]

• Sweating

  Results: The main complications / side-effects observed were nausea / vomiting, sweating, heart sinking and seizures in that order. [apicareonline.com]

• Urticaria

  None of the patients complained of urticaria. The cut point for blood pressure change was set to be a 10% increase or decrease in the mean blood pressure from the baseline. [apicareonline.com]

• Euphoria

  Anxiolysis is not clearly seen, and euphoria and antalgesia may occur. Thiopentone is the most commonly used induction agent in the world. [anaesthesia.med.usyd.edu.au]

  Once a state of euphoria is reached (60 to 90 seconds), a volatile inhalation agent is typically added into the inhaled gas mixture. [stage.uspharmacist.com]

• Impulsivity

  Local anaesthetics Injection of a local anaesthetic around a nerve or a group of nerves temporarily blocks the transmission of the electrical impulses in the nerve. [allaboutanaesthesia.com.au]

  This was demonstrated by the discovery of a monoaminergic activity that inhibits noradrenaline (norepinephrine) and serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) reuptake, making a significant contribution to the analgesic action by blocking nociceptive impulses [apicareonline.com]

• Amnesia

  “dissociative anaesthesia” produces catatonia, amnesia & analgesia via block of glutamic acid @ NMDA receptor subtype lipophilic, rapidly distributed to highly vascular organs & subsequently redistributed to less perfused tissues with concurrent hepatic [ozemedicine.com]

  Additionally, the volatile anesthetics provide analgesia and amnesia. [stage.uspharmacist.com]

  Other medications which are given include: medications that produce short-term memory loss or amnesia medications that minimise nausea and vomiting ( anti-emetics ) medications that counter-act the effect of other medications ( antagonists ) and medications [allaboutanaesthesia.com.au]

  Amnesia persists for about 60 to 90 minutes after recovery of consciousness, but ketamine does not produce retrograde amnesia. [slideshare.net]

  During this stage, the patient progresses from analgesia without amnesia to analgesia with amnesia. Patients can carry on a conversation at this time. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Convulsions

  Patients with history of syncope, convulsive syncope, panic attacks and other convulsive events were excluded. Morbidly obese patients were also excluded, as were patients with full stomach. [apicareonline.com]

  Enflurane Enflurane can excite the CNS and so carries a risk of post-operative convulsions in predisposed patients. It is generally considered more depressant to respiration and cardiovascular function than its isomer isoflurane. [pharmaceutical-journal.com]

• Excitement

  Intravenous induction is preferred because with older inhalational agents it was faster and smoother with less risk of excitement as the patient passes through the phases of anaesthesia, ie, laryngospasm, coughing, bucking. [pharmaceutical-journal.com]

  Sevofluorane Directly Excites Locus Coeruleus Neurons of Rats. Anesthesiology 107, 992-1002. [arsmedica.cl]

  This excitation movement may be problematic in larger patients, where restraint may be necessary (Zielinska, Holtby and Wolf, 2011). [japractice.co.uk]

  Stage 2 Stage 2, also known as the excitement stage, is the period following loss of consciousness and marked by excited and delirious activity. During this stage, the patient's respiration and heart rate may become irregular. [en.wikipedia.org]

  As increasing doses are inhaled, patients experience increasing disinhibition, numbness, drowsiness, excitement, disorientation, agitation, unconsciousness, reflex suppression, cardiovascular depression, respiratory depression, and ultimately death. [anaesthesia.med.usyd.edu.au]

• Confusion

  Agitation, tachycardia, confusion and hypertension suggest a possible mild serotonin syndrome. The serotonergic modulating properties of tramadol mean that it has the potential to interact with other serotonergic agents. [apicareonline.com]

  Confusion and disorientation are undesirable after anaesthesia. [virtual-anesthesia-textbook.com]

  While side-effects are noted for both types of induction agent, these are generally rare, although nausea and vomiting may be unpleasant for the child and disorientating confusion following the operation may persist with gaseous agents. [japractice.co.uk]

  Undesirable psychological reactions associated with excitement, confusion or fear may occur in 5 – 30% of patients. [developinganaesthesia.org]

  This stage may be accompanied by temporary neurologic phenomena, such as agitated emergence (acute mental confusion), aphasia (impaired production or comprehension of speech), or focal impairment in sensory or motor function. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Aura

  Labate and Newton mentioned in their study, that the seizures were generalized tonic–clonic, without auras or focal features. [apicareonline.com]

Hoffman-La Roche Ltd. for the insomnia treatment / anaesthesia induction agent flunitrazepam (Eisai product name: Silece, Chugai product name: Rohypnol) as well as the marketing authorization held by Chugai for Rohypnol in Japan has been agreed upon by [acnnewswire.com]

The reduction of this dose during the first days of treatment is an important factor in improving tolerability. [apicareonline.com]

It is generally considered safe with an advantage of more rapid orientation following the treatment. [ijaweb.org]

Therefore, the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) is the alveolar anesthetic concentration at one atmosphere (760 mm Hg) preventing movement in 50% of patients exposed to noxious stimuli. [pharmacology2000.com]

The incidence of cardiorespiratory depression appears to be higher than that of other induction agents, but, on the other hand, the absence of tachycardiac response prevents the increase in cardiac oxygen demands. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
