Objective: To determine the effect of esketamine in patient-controlled analgaesia after hip replacement on postoperative pain and improve sleep quality in patients.
Study Design: Randomised double-blind study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Anaesthesiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, from March 2021 to May 2022.
Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Increases Electrical Stimulation Threshold of Sciatic Nerve: A Prospective Parallel Cohort Study.
Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes
November 2020
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how diabetic peripheral neuropathy affects the electrical stimulation threshold needed for the sciatic nerve in diabetic patients undergoing lower limb surgery.
- It involved 60 patients, split into a control group of non-diabetics and a diabetes group, and measured the minimum current required to stimulate the sciatic nerve successfully.
- Results indicated that diabetic patients had significantly higher stimulation thresholds, especially those with peripheral neuropathy, and this threshold increased with more severe nerve dysfunction according to clinical scoring assessments.
Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the neurotoxicity of dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine for continuous femoral nerve block in rabbits.
Methods: Thirty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups of 6 rabbits each and received a continuous femoral nerve block with saline; 0.25% ropivacaine; or 1, 2, or 3 µg/mL of dexmedetomidine added to 0.
Optimal central venous pressure during partial hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int
October 2013
Background: Low central venous pressure (CVP) affects hemodynamic stability and tissue perfusion. This prospective study aimed to evaluate the optimal CVP during partial hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: Ninety-seven patients who underwent partial hepatectomy for HCC had their CVP controlled at a level of 0 to 5 mmHg during hepatic parenchymal transection.
Hemodynamics and oxygen transport dynamics during hepatic resection at different central venous pressures in a pig model.
Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int
October 2011
Background: Although low central venous pressure (CVP) has been used to minimize blood loss during hepatectomy, the impact of variations of CVP on the rate of blood loss and on the perfusion of end-organs has not been evaluated. This animal study aimed to evaluate the hemodynamics and oxygen transport changes during hepatic resection at different CVP levels.
Methods: Forty-eight anesthetized Bama miniature pigs were divided into 8 groups with CVP during hepatic resection controlled at 0 to <1, 1 to <2, 2 to <3, 3 to <4, 4 to <5, 5 to <6, 6 to <7, and 7 to <8 cmH2O.
