    Anesthetics Drug Pharmacodynamics

    Anesthesia cannot be defined in an unambiguous manner. The essential components of general anesthesia are absence of consciousness and pain. This translates into two particular qualities: (1) sedation and hypn...

    Pain relief by ketamine

    Although advances in techniques for anaesthesia, surgery, and the protection of organs have resulted in reductions in age- and risk-adjusted mortality and morbidity, the incidence of perioperative pain has cha...

    Neuroprotection by ketamine

    The fundamental clinical obstacle to the use of ketamine for neuroprotection is the historical textbook dogma that ketamine is contraindicated in patients at risk of increases in intracranial pressure (ICP) [1...

    Studies on Tumor Oxygenation in a Rat Rhabdomyo-Sarcoma during Fractionated Irradiation

    The oxygenation status of a tumor is certainly one of the major factors which influences the response of a tumor to radiotherapy (7, 9, 16, 22). Due to a chaotic and temporarily fluctuating tumor blood perfusi...

    Somatosensory Evoked Potentials: Objective Measures of Antinociception in the Anesthetized Patient?

    The most critical problems in pain research and clinical practice are the quantitation of nociception and the subjective experience of pain. From a physiologic point of view, pain is a consequence of the activ...

    “Paradoxical Arousal” During Isoflurane/Nitrous Oxide Anesthesia: Quantitative Topographical EEG Analysis

    Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings have been used for the evaluation of drug effects on brain electrical activity, and numerous studies suggest that EEG measures may be useful for the assessment of depth of...

    Influences of Various Respiratory and Circulatory Conditions on Muscle Tissue Oxygenation in Critically Ill Patients

    Inadequate tissue perfusion results in inadequate oxygen transport to the mitochondria. The function of the circulatory systems is to guarantee an adequate cellular oxygen delivery to replace the oxygen used a...
