Pregnancy is considered in the spotlight of creation of general adaptation syndrome. It was revealed that 85% and 58% of healthy non-pregnant women had an inadequate autonomous nervous system (ANS) and circulatory system response respectively. This favoured the labour activity malfunction in 20% of women in childbirth when an abdominal delivery was needed. A traditional subarachnoid anesthesia (SA) in control group was accompanied by decrease of blood pressure (BP) to the numbers requiring a medicamentous correction (as by literature data). However, the central haemodynamics measures has shown a normal blood flow and the blood pressure correction was not performed. During surgery and in early post-operative period in all women in this group a parasympathetic tone has prevailed over, and the cardiac output was at the lower limit of the hypokinetic type of haemodynamics, which was accompanied with nausea and vomiting in 30% of women. Including the atropine administration into the traditional protocol of SA in cesarean section in pregnant patients with eu- and parasympathotonia (research group) has favoured the optimization of the neurovegetative inhibition of reflexes and stabilization of haemodynamics within the physiological ranges. Vagosympathetic block has been accompanied by sympathotonia with a lesser BP decrease compared to control group, absence of bradycardia, nausea and vomiting. Thus the BP can not serve as a criterion of the perfusion of essential organs, including uteroplacental haemodynamics, especially non-invasibe BP. Including the control of ANS tone dynamics, central haemodynamics and oxygen transport into monitoring guidelines in neuroaxial anaesthesia in abdominal delivery is necessary.

Background/context: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a sudden and potentially serious event. Recognized risk factors of aSAH include smoking, high blood pressure, and alcohol consumption. Some studies have reported associations between risk of aSAH and climatic conditions, but no consensus exists.

Background: Subarachnoid anesthesia is the primary anesthetic method for elective cesarean section surgery, characterized by rapidly taking effect and reliable analgesia. However, subarachnoid anesthesia is prone to cause a high block level, resulting in a high incidence of maternal hypotension. How to reduce the incidence of maternal hypotension under subarachnoid anesthesia is a practical problem that needs to be solved urgently in clinical practice.

The clinical course of patients with aneurysmal SAH (aSAH) is often dynamic and highly unpredictable. Since its management varies between hospitals despite guidelines, this survey aimed to assess the current state of intensive care treatment for aSAH in the German-speaking region and provide insights that could aid standardization of care for aSAH patients in the intensive care setting. From February 2023 to April 2023, medical professionals of the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (DIVI), the Initiative of German Neuro-Intensive Trial Engagement (IGNITE) network and manually recorded clinics with intensive care units were invited to participate in a standardized anonymous online questionnaire including 44 questions.

In patients with acute brain injury (ABI), optimizing cerebral perfusion parameters relies on multimodal monitoring. This include data from systemic monitoring-mean arterial pressure (MAP), arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO), arterial oxygen saturation (SaO), hemoglobin levels (Hb), and temperature-as well as neurological monitoring-intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), and transcranial Doppler (TCD) velocities. We hypothesized that these parameters alone were not sufficient to assess the risk of cerebral ischemia.

Background And Aims: Intravenous sedation during spinal anesthesia has the advantages of increased duration of spinal anesthesia and better postoperative pain control. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of intravenous bolus and infusion of dexmedetomidine versus ketamine given intraoperative on the postoperative analgesia in fracture femur patients operated under subarachnoid block.

Material And Methods: In this prospective randomized double-blind controlled study, 75 patients aged 18-65 years posted for elective surgery were selected and randomly divided into three groups to receive ketamine (group K), dexmedetomidine (group D), and saline (control group C).
