The haemodynamic effects of dobutamine (2 microgram/kg . min and 4 microgram/kg . min) and dopamine (4 microgram/kg . min and 8 microgram/kg . min) were studied in 17 patients with coronary artery disease prior to coronary bypass surgery. The study was performed under general anaesthesia (modified neurolept analgesia) and controlled ventilation. Dopamine improved cardiac index significantly, increased mean aortic pressure slightly while heart rate and total peripheral resistance remained unchanged. Dobutamine failed to increase cardiac and stroke index significantly, but increased mean aortic pressure distinctly due to an elevated total peripheral resistance. Both catecholamines increased left ventricular filling and mean pulmonary artery pressure. The HR x ASP-product which is closely related to left ventricular oxygen consumption was found to be augmented to a greater extent during dobutamine. For the above reasons dopamine should be favoured for increasing cardiac output in patients undergoing aortocoronary bypass surgery. Our study does not confirm earlier results which have shown dobutamine to be the preferable catecholamine. The possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.

Effect of Music During General Anesthesia on Anesthetic Consumption During Vitrectomy Surgery.
Adv Biomed Res
March 2023
Department of Anesthesiology, School of Medicine, Anesthesiology Research Center, Imam Hossein Hospital, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Background: Controversy remains about the positive role of music during general anesthesia and postoperative recovery. We, therefore, tested the hypothesis that intraoperative exposure to classical music reduces the propofol necessary to maintain the bispectral index (BIS) close to 50 during vitrectomy surgery.
Materials And Methods: This double-blind clinical study is evaluating 50 patients undergoing vitrectomy surgery under general anesthesia.
Anti-nociceptive Effects of Dexmedetomidine Infusion Plus Modified Intercostal Nerve Block During Single-port Thoracoscopic Lobectomy: A Double-blind, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Department of Anesthesiology, First Affiliated Hospital, Anhui Medical University, Hefei, Anhui, China.
Background: Multimodal general anesthesia based on modified intercostal nerve block (MINB) has been found as a novel method to achieve an intraoperative opioid-sparing effect. However, there is little information about the effective method to inhibit visceral nociceptive stress during single-port thoracoscopic surgery.
Objective: To investigate whether a low-dose dexmedetomidine infusion followed by MINB might be an alternative method to blunt visceral stress effectively.
Essential Oil Composition, Antimicrobial and Pharmacological Activities of Cham. (Verbenaceae) From São Gonçalo do Abaeté, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Research Laboratory of Natural Products, Faculty of Pharmacy, Federal University of Goiás, Goiânia, GO, Brazil.
Background: (Verbenaceae) is used in Brazilian folk medicine as an antiseptic, and it is usually applied topically on skin, mucous membranes, mouth, and throat, or used for vaginal washings.
Objectives: To analyze the chemical composition of the essential oil from collected in São Gonçalo do Abaeté, Minas Gerais and grown in Hidrolândia, Goiás; to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the essential oil, crude ethanol extract, and hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl-acetate, and aqueous fractions (AFs); to study the antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, and central nervous system activities of the crude ethanol extract.
Materials And Methods: The essential oils were obtained by hydro-distillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus and analyzed by GC/MS.
Effects of intraoperative diltiazem infusion on flow changes in arterial and venous grafts in coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Rev Bras Cir Cardiovasc

School of Medicine, Akdeniz University, Antalya, Turkey.
Objective: This study aimed to show the effects of intra-operative diltiazem infusion on flow in arterial and venous grafts in coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Methods: Hundred fourty patients with a total of 361 grafts [205 (57%) arterial and 156 (43%) venous] underwent isolated coronary surgery. All the grafts were measured by intraoperative transit time flow meter intra-operatively.
The effect of low-dose remifentanil on the hemodynamic responses of endotracheal extubation.

Emergence from general anesthesia can be associated with coughing, agitation, and hemodynamic disturbances. Remifentanil may attenuate these responses. We have examined the effect of remifentanil on the hemodynamic response to the emergence from anesthesia and tracheal extubation.
