ANAESTHESIA AND PAIN MANAGEMENT IN COMPANION ANIMALS
… to successful case outcomes. Although acute and maladaptive chronic pain management is now an established component of therapy, the development of new drugs, analgesic techniques and non-pharmacological modalities makes this a still evolving facet of small animals clinical practice. …

Brain Network Connectivity in Anaesthesia and Disorders of Consciousness
Until recently, understanding the nature of consciousness was considered a philosophical pursuit. However, technological developments in brain imaging have allowed the study of consciousness as a natural, neurobiological phenomenon. The neurobiology of consciousness has been studied using cognitive …

Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Modelling to Advance Perioperative Anaesthesia and Analgesia
The practice of anaesthesia involves creating profound drug effects (i.e. lack of awareness and sensation) and then reversing these rapidly. Endpoints are achieved by combining drugs that collectively contribute to desired effects. This requires an understanding of the pharmacological profile of …

Single Crystal Based Ultrasound Actuated Needle For Regional Anaesthesia and Biopsy
Ultrasound guidance of needle-based regional anaesthesia and tissue biopsy is widely used in clinical practice. Ultrasound imaging has improved the efficacy and reduced some side effects during regional nerve block. However, the presentation and interpretation of real-time ultrasound guided needle …

Audit of peripheral neuromuscular stimulators at the hospitals staffed by the department of anaesthesia and perioperative medicine at the University of Cape Town
… peripheral nerve stimulators (PNS) functionality and availability at their institution. In the researcher’s experience the peripheral nerve stimulators (PNS) in use at his institution are not always easily available and some units malfunction at times. There are also not many units that can give a …

The association between perioperative risk factors and the method of anaesthesia, and maternal and neonatal outcomes following caesarean delivery in Africa: a sub-study of a 7-day prospective observational cohort study
Background Maternal and neonatal mortality is high in Africa. The African Surgical Outcomes Study found that maternal mortality following caesarean delivery in Africa is 50 times higher than in highincome countries, and independently associated with obstetric haemorrhage and anaesthesia …

SASS: South African Simulation Survey a review of simulation-based education
… (SBE) has been shown to be an effective and reproducible learning tool. SBE is used widely internationally. The current state of SBE in South Africa is unknown. To the best of our knowledge this is the first survey that describes the use and attitudes towards SBE within South Africa. …

Method of biological assay of Gastrin and its application to the study of human tissue
… of factors as yet unknown, e.g., the effect of anaesthesia and duration of operation on the gastrin content, the rate of turnover of gastrin and the significance of a single estimate of extractable gastrin -like activity. Any comment on the above results must therefore be speculative.

The development of an in vivo nerve-muscle model in the rat : and an experiment "The interaction between rocuronium and thiopentone" to test the validity of the model
… in the development of our current understanding of nerve - muscle physiology. This dissertation describes the development of an in vivo model of the rat nerve interface at the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Cape Town. Such a model was not previously available to the …

A descriptive study of the relationship between preoperative body temperature and intraoperative core temperature change in adults under general anaesthesia
… for ophthalmological surgery under general anaesthesia, to describe the relationship between the incidence of hypothermia within the first hour of anaesthesia and preoperative mean body temperature. Results: Sixty-five patients were enrolled. Twelve participants (18%) presented to the …

Recent advances in anaesthesia from the point of view of the general practitioner, with special reference to pre-anaesthetic narcosis
Ivlodern advances in medicine and surgery are gratefully received by the general practitioner. He is glad to know that Insulin can limit the ravages of diabetes, that pernicious anaemia is controlled by liver therapy, but he seldom encounters these diseases. Relief of pain and discomfort are his …

Feedback control of sedation and general anaesthesia
… aim of my studies was to investigate the safety and efficacy of two modes of feedback control of sedation and anaesthesia. A secondary aim was to add to the body of knowledge on the Bispectral Index (BIS). I also wrote a computer program (BISCLAN) that was used in all the studies as a BIS data …

Enhanced biopsy and regional anaesthesia through ultrasound actuation of a standard needle
There is an urgent and unmet clinical need to improve accuracy and safety during needle-based interventional procedures including regional anaesthesia and cancer biopsy. In ultrasound guided percutaneous needle procedures, there is a universal problem of imaging the needle, particularly the tip, …

Complex, yet Resolved: Time-, Frequency-, and Information-resolved Approaches to Brain Function and Human Consciousness
… To illuminate how the neurobiology and organization of the human brain support consciousness, we need to identify changes in brain function that accompany alterations in conscious state. However, the brain is a paradigmatic example of a complex system, raising the question: which …

A comparison of spinal anaesthesia with and without transversus abdominis plane block in patients undergoing elective caesarean section at Windhoek Hospital Complex
… Abdominis Plane (TAP) block with spinal anaesthesia is emerging as a superior approach for managing postoperative pain, particularly in abdominal surgeries. While spinal anaesthesia provides effective lower body analgesia, it can result in inadequate pain control and side effects like …
