The serotonergic system is related to the activity of tianeptine for facilitated pain at the spinal level. Adrenergic transmission is also involved in tianeptine-induced analgesia for both facilitated and acute pain. The combination of tianeptine and cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor may provide additional benefits for the management of inflammatory pain.

In addition to standard and advanced monitors typically used during cardiac surgery, anesthesiologists may consider monitoring the brain with raw or processed electroencephalography (EEG). There is strong evidence that a protocol incorporating the processed EEG bispectral index (BIS) decreases the incidence intraoperative awareness in comparison with standard practice. However, there is conflicting evidence that incorporating the BIS into cardiac anesthesia practice improves "fast-tracking," decreases anesthetic drug use, or detects cerebral ischemia. Recent research, including many cardiac surgical patients, shows that a protocol based on BIS monitoring is n...

Simulations based on these models show that remimazolam delivers extremely rapid sedation, with maximal effect being reached within 3 minutes of the start of treatment. This property will enable maintenance doses to be given more accurately than with slower-acting drugs. No covariate effects considered to be clinically relevant were observed, suggesting that dosing by body weight may offer no advantage over fixed doses in terms of consistency of exposure to remimazolam within the weight range studied (65-90 kg).

Its founders coined the term "patient safety" in its modern public usage and created the very first patient safety organization, igniting a movement that is now universal in all of health care. Driven by the vision "that no patient shall be harmed by anesthesia," the APSF has worked tirelessly for more than a quarter century to promote safety education and communication through its widely read Newsletter, its programs, and its presentations. The APSF's extensive research grant program has supported a great many projects leading to key safety improvements and, in particular, was central in the development of high-fidelity mannequin simulation as a research and teaching tool.

Thirty-nine patients undergoing elective lower abdominal surgery were assigned to 3 groups receiving rectus sheath block with 20 mL of different concentrations of ropivacaine.

The present data also suggested a slower absorption kinetics profile for ropivacaine after rectus sheath block than other compartment blocks.

The effects of acute morphine did not differ between groups. Catheterized rats developed tolerance to chronic morphine more rapidly, compared with sham and naive rats. Therefore, catheter presence facilitated development of opioid antinociceptive tolerance. Spinal astrogliosis, determined by measurement of 3-dimensional cell volumes, was observed in catheterized rats as indicated by significantly larger cell volumes compared with surgery-naive controls. Gliosis induced by chronic intrathecal morphine administered to surgery-naive animals was compar...

The use of traditional methods of accessing the central venous circulation in these patients can require multiple attempts and may lead to significant complications such as bleeding, pneumothorax, and vascular injury. Ultrasound-guided central venous access has become a very common procedure in the United States and Europe; its efficacy and safety have been demonstrated, and together with the use of micropuncture needles, the technique can facilitate central venous access in complicated cases.

The term extraglottic is used in this review to encompass those airways that do not violate the larynx, in addition to those with a supraglottic position. Although the term extraglottic may be broad and include airways such as tracheostomy tubes, the term supraglottic does not describe a large number of devices with subglottic components and is too narrow for a discussion of modern devices. EGAs have flourished in practice, and now a wide variety of devices are available for an ever-expanding array of applications. In this review we attempt to clarify the current state of EGA de...

We compared the effects of bupivacaine stereoisomers on biomimetic membranes containing cardiolipin and cholesterol. Bupivacaine interacted with the membranes at cardiotoxic 5 μM with the potency being S(-)-enantiomer < racemate < R(+)-enantiomer, which agreed with the rank order of their cardiotoxicity. Such differences became greater with decreasing drug concentrations, possibly explaining the inconsistent cardiotoxic potencies of bupivacaine stereoisomers reported previously.

Given the tissue-specific bleeding observed in hemophilia patients, it may be instructive to consider the principles of Virchow's triad when investigating mechanisms operant in hemostatic disorders as well. Blood composition (the function of circulating blood cells and plasma proteins) is the most well studied component of the triad. For example, increased levels of plasma procoagulant proteins such as prothrombin and fibrinogen are established risk factors for ...

A fused single cord of the brachial plexus, although considered rare, was discovered in 4 Indian male cadavers during the dissection of 90 brachial plexuses. All 4 cases demonstrated deviation from the usual pattern starting at the division of trunks continuing to the formation of cords. The location of these single cords was lateral to the axillary artery instead of the typical perivascular relationship. A fused single cord of brachial plexus might be more common than previously thought. The impact on the performance or success of blockade remains unknown. PMID: 22104071 [PubMed - as supplied by ...

Intraoperatively, deepening of anesthesia was associated with reduced bleeding. Therefore, induced hypotension, mean arterial blood pressure 50 to 55 mm Hg, was maintained for 2.5 hours. Postoperatively, the patient was paraplegic with spinal cord infarction on magnetic resonance imaging from T9 to the tip of the conus medullaris. The collateralization of the anterior spinal artery is very variable and it seems likely that in this individual induced hypotension was associated with inadequate blood flow in the distribution of the artery of Adamkiewicz.

Anesth Analg. 2011 Nov 3; Authors: Drummond JC, Lee RR, Howell JP Abstract A 50-year-old man underwent shoulder surgery in the beach chair position. His mean arterial blood pressure at arm level was approximately 65 mm Hg. Postoperatively, there was delayed awakening and a right hemiparesis. Radiologic evaluation revealed a congenital asymmetry of the circle of Willis that resulted in limited collateral flow to the left anterior and middle cerebral artery distributions. Similar anatomical variations are relatively common in the general population and may render some patients relatively and unpredictably more vulnerable to hypotension. PMID...

We quantified the concentration of fentanyl in umbilical vein blood. Thirteen samples from 13 subjects were analyzed. Medians and ranges are reported as follows. Weight of the newborn at delivery was 3000 g (2020-3715 g). The dose of fentanyl was 60 μg (45-65 μg). The time between IM administration of fentanyl and collection of the sample was 37 minutes (5-86 minutes). Fentanyl was detected in all of the samples, with a median serum concentration of 14.0 ng/mL (4.3-64.0 ng/mL).

Cardiovascular as well as malignant and immunological diseases may be associated with AvWD, and several pathophysiological mechanisms have been proposed. von Willebrand factor (vWF) is a plasma glycoprotein that mediates platelet adhesion to subendothelial collagen and causes platelet aggregation under high shear stress. Additionally, vWF acts as a specific carrier for coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) in the plasma. AvWD results from a reduced rate of vWF synthesis, an increased rate of vWF removal, or a final generation of lower-molecular-weight...

Anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane, and sufentanil, dexmedetomidine, and lidocaine infusions. Urine output increased from 150 mL/hr to 950 mL/hr the fourth hour. An increasing serum sodium, low urine-specific gravity, and increased serum osmolarity occurred simultaneously with the polyuria. Within 2 hours of discontinuing the dexmedetomidine infusion urine output greatly decreased. Within 24 hours all signs of the polyuric syndrome resolved spontaneously.

However, surgery also results in normal increases in coagulation activation, platelet activation, and fibrinolysis that are associated with normal wound hemostasis. Conventional CPB interferes with normal hemostasis by diluting hemostatic cells and proteins, through reinfusion of shed blood, and through activation on the bypass circuit surface of multiple systems including platelets, the kallikrein-kinin system, and fibrinolysis. CPB activation of the kallikrein-kinin system increases activated factor XIIa, kallikrein, bradykinin, and tissue plasminogen activator levels, but has little effect on thrombin generation. ...

Rodent models to investigate mechanisms and treatments are largely restricted to male rats, whereas female mouse studies are lacking. We characterized a range of paclitaxel doses on cold and mechanical allodynia in male and female C57Bl/6 mice. Because the nonpsychoactive phytocannabinoid cannabidiol attenuates other forms of neuropathic pain, we assessed its effect on paclitaxel-induced allodynia. Paclitaxel produced allodynia that was largely dose independent and more robust in female mice, and this effect was prevented by treatment with cannabidiol. Our preliminary findings therefore indicate that cannabidiol may prevent the ...

This mutation was previously suggested to be associated with chronic hyperammonemia. Replacement of threonine with asparagine decreases the activity of carbamoyl phosphate synthase in the urea cycle. Genetic screening can potentially identify a population at risk before initiation of antiepileptic therapy.

The analysis of latencies between when messages are sent and responses obtained is an essential component of practical and regulatory assessment of clinical and managerial decision-support systems. Latency data including times for anesthesia providers to respond to messages have moderate (> n = 20) sample sizes, large coefficients of variation (e.g., 0.60 to 2.50), and heterogeneous coefficients of variation among groups. Highly inaccurate results are obtained both by performing analysis of variance (ANOVA) in the time scale or by performing it in the log scale and then taking the exponential of the result. To overcome these difficulties, one can perform calculatio...

This is likely attributable, in part, to the widespread use of the sphygmomanometer, which allows the practitioner to assess arterial blood pressure without having to develop a sense for the higher-order characteristics of the arterial waveform. The 20-year delay in the development of devices that measure these traits is a testament to the primitiveness of our appreciation for this information. The shape of the peripheral arterial pressure waveform may indeed contain information useful to...
