Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Comparison of the hemodynamic effects of sevoflurane anesthesia induction and maintenance vs TIVA in CABG surgery.
To compare the hemodynamic effects of sevoflurane when used for induction and maintenance of anesthesia with a total intravenous technique in patients with known coronary artery disease (CAD). ⋯ Induction of anesthesia in patients with CAD, VCRII with sevoflurane supplemented by sufentanil provided hemodynamic responses comparable with those of TIVA although bradycardia was observed more often with sevoflurane. Intraoperative control of systemic blood pressure was achieved with fewer interventions with a sevoflurane/sufentanil maintenance than with a propofol/sufentanil technique in CABG surgery.

To describe a case of asymptomatic first degree atrioventricular block with a bifascicular block that progressed to complete atrioventricular block during anesthesia. This potentially fatal block was successfully treated with transesophageal ventricular pacing. ⋯ Asymptomatic first degree atrioventricular block with bifascicular block advanced to complete atrioventricular block during anesthesia. The block was successfully managed with transesophageal pacing.

To determine the relationship between the area of the laryngeal aperture (LA) seen fibreoptically during laryngoscopy and the difficulty of tracheal intubation in patients with difficult laryngoscopy ⋯ Inability of the laryngoscope to provide an adequate LA view is one cause of difficult intubation with the Macintosh laryngoscope in patients with difficult laryngoscopy.

The aim of this study was to compare the severity of the acute lung injury after tracheal instillation of acidified soya-based or Enfalac infant formula, or human breast milk (HBM) in anesthetized rabbits. ⋯ The severity of the acute lung injury after intratracheal instillation of infant feeds in a volume of 0.8 ml x kg(-1) and at pH 1.8 in rabbits depends in part, on the type of feed: Enfalac approximately/= HBM > soya > control.
