Purpose: Product- and patient-specific factors that may influence the selection of an inhaled anesthetic agent are discussed in four case studies. Summary: The cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, ...

Unlike most other drugs, chart review is not particularly useful for determining the amount of an inhaled anesthetic administered during a particular case because it is impossible to determine ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Medicine have discovered that common inhaled anesthetics increase the number of amyloid plaques in the brains of animals, which might ...

Researchers have found that children's brains are more affected by an inhaled anesthetic than an intravenous anesthetic with increased levels of brain lactate. Lactate increases brain activation and ...

Recent studies have raised the troubling possibility that widely used inhaled anesthetics might exacerbate amyloid pathology. Although there is no hard data in human studies to support this idea, work ...

CHICAGO – New guidance published today in Anaesthesia provides actionable steps to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from inhaled anesthetics, particularly desflurane, which is commonly used in ...

Newswise - Inhaled anesthetics widely used for surgery-particularly the anesthetic desflurane-make a measurable contribution to global warming, according to a study in the July issue of Anesthesia & ...

Project Spruce, a consortium of nine pediatric hospitals, has successfully cut greenhouse gas emissions from inhaled anesthetics by over 50% across its nine partners. The consortium aims to improve ...

Children's brains are more affected by an inhaled anesthetic than an intravenous anesthetic with increased levels of brain lactate, according to a new study conducted by researchers at Stony Brook ...

A California physician discusses the impact of inhaled anesthesia on global warming in the July issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia, according to news release by the International Anesthesia Research ...

When prepping a patient for surgery, global warming may be the last thing on your mind. But the anesthetics used by a busy hospital contribute as much to global warming as the emissions from hundreds ...

Researchers have discovered that common inhaled anesthetics increase the number of amyloid plaques in the brains of animals, which might accelerate the onset of neurodegenerative diseases like ...
