    A Comparative Study Of Premedication For Prevention Of Vomiting Induced By Intrathecal Calcitonin: A Double Blind Study
    Rastogi V et al. - The incidence of postoperative nausea vomiting is highly variable following subarachnoid blockade with a further increase in incidence observed upon addition of additives to increase the duration of analgesia. Granisetron is a potent antiemetic among dexamethsone and chlorpromazine for prevention of postoperative nausea vomiting....

    Bioterrorism Agents : What the Anesthesiologist Needs to Know
    Jones R et al. - Anesthesiologists also need to prepare and have a sound understanding of biological and chemical agents and how to treat victims of such attacks. Anesthesiologists are professionals in resuscitations and airway management and can be vital resources when aiding victims of biological warfare....

    Buprenorphine Improves the Efficacy of Bupivacaine in Nerve Plexus Block: A Double Blind Randomized Evaluation in Subclavian Perivascular Brachial Block
    Jadon A et al. - Authors conclude that the addition 3micro gkg 1 buprenorphine to 0.3% bupivacaine mixture for perivascular brachial block in upper limb orthopedic surgery increase the time for complete sensory block. ...

    The Pro-Seal LMAtm And The Tracheal Tube: A Comparison Of Events At Insertion Of The Airway Device
    Misra MN et al. - Pro-Seal LMA, though difficult to introduce, showed no incidence of failure. The markedly attenuated hemo-dynamic response at insertion of PS-LMA is a definite advantage over tracheal intubation....

    Nervus medianus evoked potentials and bispectral index during repeated transitions from consciousness to unconsciousness
    Rundshagen I et al. - Present results indicate the usefulness of combining variables of the evoked and spontaneous EEG to measure different levels of consciousness, because the SSEP provide additional information beyond the BIS. Inter-individual variability of all the EEG variables limits their predictive potency of ROC after propofol infusion....

    A replicable method for blood glucose control in critically Ill patients
    Morris AH et al. - The 91% to 98% clinician compliance indicates eProtocol-insulin is an exportable instrument that can establish a replicable experimental method for clinical trials of blood glucose management in critically ill adults. Control of blood glucose was better with eProtocol-insulin than with a simple clinical guideline or a paper-based protocol....

    Accurate characterization of extravascular lung water in acute respiratory distress syndrome
    Berkowitz DM et al. - Indexing EVLW to PBW or AdjBW reduces the number of ARDS patients with normal EVLW and correlates better to Lung Injury Score and oxygenation than using ActBW....

    Autonomic compensation to simulated hemorrhage monitored with heart period variability
    Cooke WH et al. - Components of heart period variability track early compensatory autonomic and hemodynamic responses to progressive reduction in central blood volume. Such analyses, interpreted in conjunction with standard vital signs, may contribute to earlier assessments of the magnitude of blood volume loss during hemorrhage....

    Characterization of the gender dimorphism after injury and hemorrhagic shock: Are hormonal differences responsible
    Sperry JL et al. - The independent protective effect of female gender on multiple organ failure and nosocomial infection rates remains significant in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women when compared with similarly aged men. Results suggest that factors other than sex hormones may be responsible for gender-based differences after injury....

    Incidence and clinical effects of intra-abdominal hypertension in critically ill patients
    Vidal MG et al. - Intra-abdominal hypertension, diagnosed either with IAPmax or IAPmean, was frequent and showed an independent association with mortality. Intra-abdominal hypertension was significantly associated with more severe organ failures, particularly renal and respiratory, and a prolonged intensive care unit stay....

    Recruitment maneuver in pulmonary and extrapulmonary experimental acute lung injury
    Riva DR et al. - Given the transpulmonary pressures, RMs are more effective at opening collapsed alveoli in ALIexp than in ALIp, thus improving lung mechanics and oxygenation with limited damage to alveolar epithelium....

    Safety, feasibility, and hemodynamic and blood flow effects of active compression-decompression of thorax and abdomen in patients with cardiac arrest
    Havel C et al. - In this preliminary study, resuscitation with the Lifestick was found to be safe and feasible. The design of the study and small number of patients included in it limit the conclusions about the hemodynamic effects of the Lifestick....

    Infrared imaging of trauma patients for detection of acute compartment syndrome of the leg
    Katz L et al. - Infrared imaging detected a difference in surface temperature between the proximal and distal leg of patients who developed compartment syndrome. This technology holds promise as a supportive tool for the early detection of acute compartment syndrome in trauma patients....
