Anaesthetic complications in gastroschisis
… from the hospital's GS database. Each general anaesthetic exposure (GAE) was treated as an independent event and a binary logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between indication for GAE and the odds of an ARAE. A mixed-effects logistic regression model was used …

Mechanism of anaesthetic activation, combination and antagonism
… of ligands targeting GABAA receptors are general anaesthetics. The effects of anaesthetics on the human body such as immobility, analgesia, amnesia and muscle relaxation are exploited during surgery and are indispensable in modern medicine to allow invasive procedures. Although the binding sites …

Paediatric regional anaesthetic procedures: clinical anatomy competence, pitfalls and complications
… specialities, including the practice of regional anaesthetic procedures on paediatric patients. The competency that a doctor displays in clinical procedures is an important aspect of their overall clinical competence and the successful performance of regional blocks demands a working and yet …

The effects of anaesthetic agents on synapses of lymnaea stagnalis (L.)
In the mammal, anaesthetics are known to act via two distinct mechanisms, either increasing inhibition via GABAA receptors (eg. Na-thiopentone) or decreasing excitation via NIvIDA receptors (eg. ketamine). The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effects of both increased inhibition and …

Synthesis of pyrazoline derivatives and an examination of their local anaesthetic activity
(1) From p-alkoxy and m-p-dialkoxy benzylidene acetones, utilising the Mannich reaction, a series of unsaturated alkyl amino ketones of the type (I)

The interaction of xenobiotics and anaesthetic agents with hepatic microsomal stearate desaturase
… into the reaction of halogenated xenobiotics and anaesthetic agents, with hepatic microsomal stearate desaturase. The levels of stearate desaturase in the hepatic microsomes were routinely elevated by re-feeding the experimental animals a high carbohydrate diet. The interaction of the xenobiotics …

The interaction of some halogenated anaesthetic agents with hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes
… into the interaction of the volatile anaesthetic agents, fluroxene, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ethyl ether(TFEE), methoxyflurane and enflurane, with hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes in vivo and in vitro. Each of the anaesthetic agents interacts with the type P-450 cytochromes of hepatic …

Study of damage to peripheral nerves caused by anaesthetic needles during regional anaesthesia
… and provides real time visualization of local anaesthetic spread. However, the risk of nerve trauma still remains. A recent meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials has described the incidence of transient neuropathy secondary to Ultrasound Guided Regional Anaesthesia (UGRA) in 7% of …

The Incidence of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting after Thyroidectomy using Three Anaesthetic Techniques
Introduction: The choice of anaesthetics can affect the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). This study compared the incidence of PONV in female patients who underwent thyroidectomy with anaesthesia induced by sevoflurane, propofol？ remifenanil or …

The interaction of three local anaesthetic agents with hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450
… on the binding and metabolism of three local anaesthetic agents: lidocaine, mepivacaine and bupivacaine has been investigated. All three local anaesthetic agents bound to the type I binding site of cytochrome P-450, which is characteristic of substrate binding to cytochrome P-450, and …

A study of the effect of anaesthetic molecules on model membranes formed in surfactant / water mixtures
… the effect of a range of general and local anaesthetics on model membranes, aiming to establish if the addition of anaesthetic promotes changes in the membranes interfacial region or within their internal structure. The models used for biological membranes were simple surfactantiwater …

Validation of the use of short message service (SMS) as a training tool for anaesthetic nurses
Background: Anaesthetic nurses form a critical part of the team providing peri-operative care to patients, but no accredited training exists for them in South Africa. In this setting, without a formal training programme, short in-service training interventions are a pragmatic attempt at improving …

Does the use of video improve patient satisfaction in the consent process for local-anaesthetic urological procedures?
Purpose To assess patient satisfaction with the use of Portable Video Media (PVM) for the purpose of taking informed consent for common urological outpatient procedures performed under local anaesthesia. Methods Patients undergoing the following procedures were approached for recruitment: flexible …

From Anaesthetic to Aesthetic in the Clinic: An Arts, Practice-Based Inquiry into Everyday Aesthetic Experience for Healthcare Practitioners
Medical practice is replete with emotive images and processes in everyday small interactions as well asissues of life and death. Practitioners can be moved in aesthetic ways. The capacity for, and attention to, personal lived aesthetic experience is easily suppressed in clinical practice where the …

Recent advances in anaesthesia from the point of view of the general practitioner, with special reference to pre-anaesthetic narcosis
… drugs for the production of anaesthesia and pre -anaesthetic narcosis have stimulated a fresh interest in this subject among general practitioners. It is for this reason I am prompted to record my experiences with the older types of anaesthetics, and to compare them with those of recent …

Survival after local anaesthetic overdose : a comparison of the success of resuscitation after established cardiotoxicity caused by ropivacaine or bupivacaine
… to review the pharmacology and toxicity of local anaesthetics, particularly highlighting the differences between bupivacaine and ropivacaine and to present an experiment attempting to establish whether ropivacaine is a safer drug, once cardiotoxicity has occurred.
