Anesthesia Managment: A comparison of the predictive performance of three pharmacokinetic models for propofol using measured values obtained during target-controlled infusion

Published in Anaesthesia. 2014 Jun;69(6):550-7 Authors: Glen JB et al    Abstract We compared the predictive performance of the existing Diprifusor and Schnider models, used for target-controlled infusion of propofol, with a new modification of the Diprifusor model (White) incorporating age and sex covariates.  The bias and inaccuracy (precision) of each model were determined using […]

Anesthesia Management: Postoperative morphine concentration in infants with or without biliary atresia and its association with hepatic blood flow

Published in Anaesthesia. 2014 Jun;69(6):583-90 Authors: Wang X et al.    Abstract We measured pre-operative hepatic blood flow and postoperative morphine concentration in infants with or without biliary atresia. Thirty-four infants (0-3 months) with biliary atresia undergoing portoenterostomy (Kasai operation) were included and hepatic blood flow was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging before surgery in […]

Anesthesia Management: Analysis of transthoracic echocardiographic data in major vascular surgery from a prospective randomised trial comparing sevoflurane and fentanyl with propofol and remifentanil anaesthesia

Published in Anaesthesia. 2014 Jun;69(6):558-72 Authors: Lindholm EE et al.   Abstract The aim of this study was to define pre-operative echocardiographic data and explore if postoperative indices of cardiac function after open abdominal aortic surgery were affected by the anaesthetic regimen. We hypothesised that volatile anaesthesia would improve indices of cardiac function compared with […]
