Abstract

This article reviews selected procedures for which a particularly close working relationship between the surgeon and the anesthesiologist is essential for patient safety. Anesthetic considerations for upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopies, bronchoscopy for aspirated foreign bodies, resection of mediastinal masses, thoracotomies for procedures requiring one-lung anesthesia, and surgery for burn patients are reviewed.

Methodological considerations in rat brain BOLD contrast pharmacological MRI.

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) contrast pharmacological magnetic resonance imaging (phMRI) is an increasingly popular technique that allows the non-invasive investigation of spatial and temporal changes in rat brain function in response to pharmacological stimulation in vivo. Rat brain BOLD contrast phMRI is, at present, established in few neuropharmacological laboratories, and various issues associated with the technique require attention. The present review is primarily aimed at psychopharmacologists with no previous experience of phMRI, who are interested in the practical aspects that phMRI studies entail. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Experimental and analytical considerations, including anaesthesia, physiological monitoring, drug dose and delivery, scanning protocols, statistical approaches and the interpretation of phMRI data, are discussed.

Clinical investigation of remifentanil and propofol for the total intravenous anaesthesia of dogs.

Fifteen adult dogs underwent elective ovariectomy. They were premedicated with 0.5 mg/kg methadone and 0.05 mg/kg(-1) atropine administered intramuscularly, and anaesthesia was induced with propofol and maintained with intravenous infusions of remifentanil at 0.6 microg/kg/minute and propofol; the mean (sd) rate of infusion of propofol throughout the period of anaesthesia was 0.33 (0.03) mg/kg/minute. The dogs were ventilated continuously with oxygen while they were anaesthetised. Their haemodynamic parameters were clinically acceptable during the period of anaesthesia. Two dogs received additional atropine to correct bradycardias of less than 60 bpm and several dogs received additional boluses of remifentanil or propofol to maintain an adequate depth of anaesthesia, as determined by a clinical assessment. The mean (range) time to the return of spontaneous respiration after stopping the remifentanil infusion was 11.1 (6.0 to 17.0) minutes, and the mean (range) time to the dogs standing was 38.0 (20.0 to 80.0) minutes. The quality of recovery was good in 12 of the dogs, two showed mild excitation in the immediate postoperative period and the other dog required additional analgesia with methadone.
