Brain states and circuit mechanisms underlying sleep and general anesthesia
During sleep and general anesthesia, the brain enters a state of decreased arousal and consciousness is transiently suspended. How this transition occurs is a fundamental and unsolved question in neuroscience. The neural dynamics that disrupt consciousness have not been identified, and the circuit …

Development and Evaluation of Clinical Protocol for Breastfeeding after General Anesthesia
… communicate to breastfeeding mothers from their anesthesia providers. The first phase of the project involved the systematic development of a Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) based on current evidence in the literature. The second phase of the project was the appraisal of the developed CPG by an …

Alpha thalamocortical networks during propofol general anesthesia and disorders of consciousness
… linked to clinical states of unconsciousness. General anesthesia and disorders of consciousness (DoC) offer experimentallyaccessible conditions in which to study alpha disruptions using scalp and intracranial EEG recordings. To produce novel signatures of posterior alpha loss in DoC, we …

Intracranial electroencephalography signatures of the induction of general anesthesia with Propofol
General anesthesia is a drug-induced, reversible behavioral state characterized by hypnosis (loss of consciousness), amnesia (loss of memory), analgesia (loss of pain perception), akinesia (loss of movement), and hemodynamic stability (stability and control of the cardiovascular, respiratory, and …

Implementing a postoperative nausea and vomiting protocol for adult patients undergoing general anesthesia
… Up to 80% of patients experience PONV. Anesthesia providers can administer medications that antagonize various receptors to help prevent PONV (Dopamine 2, NK-1, Muscarinic, 5-HT-3, and Histamine 1). The 2020 Fourth Consensus Guidelines are a comprehensive and evidence-based set of …

Shedding Light On General Anesthesia: Uncovering The Molecular Mechanisms For Propofol And Volatile Anesthetics
General anesthetics have played a pivotal role in the history of medicine. Despite accounts of their use within the earliest of human records, our understanding of anesthetic mechanisms remains unclear. Understanding these molecular mechanisms would be a significant advance toward enhanced drug …

An Analysis Using State Space Global Coherence of Brain Dynamics in a Young Child Under Sevoflurane General Anesthesia
The dynamics of brain states under general anesthesia in infants are complex and exhibit significant developmental changes, particularly in the context of neurophysiological responses. Traditional EEG analysis has been valuable in tracking these changes, but there is a critical need for more …

In Children and Elderly Patients, What are the Effects of General Anesthesia on Neurological Health Compared with Procedural Sedation?
<p>Anesthesia has been a necessity in the field of health care since it was discovered in the early to middle 1800s. Before anesthesia, many procedures and surgeries that are now considered an easy fix were life-threatening and patients often chose the inevitable death over the pain of surgery. The …
