The effects of nitrous oxide on controlled hypotension during low flow anesthesia.

Background And Objectives: We investigated the effect of Nitrous Oxide (N2O) on controlled hypotension in low-flow isoflurane-dexmedetomidine anesthesia in terms of hemodynamics, anesthetic consumption, and costs.

Methods: We allocated forty patients randomly into two equal groups. We then maintained dexmedetomidine infusion (0.

A comparison of epidural anesthesia and lumbar plexus-sciatic nerve blocks for knee surgery.

Objectives: The efficacy of combined lumbar plexus-sciatic nerve blocks was compared to epidural anesthesia in patients undergoing total knee surgery.

Patients And Methods: The study included 80 American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status I-III patients (age range 18 to 65) undergoing knee surgery. The patients were randomly divided into one of two groups.

Anesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy: comparative evaluation--desflurane/sevoflurane vs. propofol.

Laparoscopic techniques, have rapidly increased in popularity because of its various benefits. They are widely used in day-case surgical operations and are extensively published. However, postoperative nausea vomiting (PONV) is a commonly observed phenomenon after laparoscopic procedures.
