Background: Postoperative shivering is mainly associated with low body temperature. However, postoperative shivering can develop even at normal or high core temperatures. This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with postoperative shivering in patients with maintained core temperature after surgery.

Neural correlates of systemic lidocaine administration in healthy adults measured by functional MRI: a single arm open label study.

Introduction: Intravenous lidocaine is increasingly used as a nonopioid analgesic, but how it acts in the brain is incompletely understood. We conducted a functional MRI study of pain response, resting connectivity, and cognitive task performance in volunteers to elucidate the effects of lidocaine at the brain-systems level.

Methods: We enrolled 27 adults (age 22-55 yr) in this single-arm, open-label study.

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists created a computer program called a convolutional neural network (CNN) to help understand brain activity from EEG signals while patients are asleep from anesthesia.
  • They tested this program on 40 surgery patients, dividing them into two groups to receive different types of anesthesia and then analyzed their brain wave patterns.
  • The CNN was really good at telling when the patients were unconscious, doing better than other methods, and showed that certain brain wave measurements were important for monitoring consciousness during surgery.

Background: The Eleveld pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model for propofol predicts bispectral index (BIS) processed electroencephalogram values from estimated effect-site concentrations. We investigated agreement between measured and predicted BIS values during total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA).

Methods: Forty participants undergoing lower limb surgery received TIVA using remifentanil target-controlled infusions and propofol by manually controlled, target-guided infusions based upon the Eleveld model and directed by two pharmacokinetic computer simulation applications: PKPD Tools and StelSim.

Background: This study investigated the relationship between intraoperative requirement for an inhalational anesthetic (sevoflurane) or an opioid (remifentanil) and postoperative analgesic consumption.

Methods: The study included 200 adult patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colectomy. In the sevoflurane group, the effect-site concentration of remifentanil was fixed at 1.
