The AA. examine the main metabolic and tissues physiopathologic effects after large burns. The same value advantages and disadvantages of anaesthesia treatments during excision and during medications on hard burns. The AA. propose then experience based on the association Althesin drip solution with Fentanyl. They underline the good results obtained by this method.

Background And Purpose: Guinea pigs are one of the most difficult rodents to anesthetize safely, and as a consequence, there is a paucity of reports regarding the effects of anesthesia on their cardiorespiratory variables. We used long-term indwelling cannulas for studying the guinea pig in the conscious state, and subsequently investigated the effects of four types of injectable anesthetic regimens on cardiorespiratory variables.
Methods: Using barometric plethysmography (conscious: long-term cannulated, n = 11; no cannulation, n = 28) or trachea-out plethysmography (anesthetized: n = 7 for each of the four groups), we recorded ventilatory, cardiovascular, metabolic, and arterial gas variables during air breathing and in response to 10 min of hypoxia (8% O2) and 10 min of hypercapnia (8% CO2).

Studies have shown that the steroid anaesthetic alphaxalone positively modulates gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors in vitro. It has also been reported that positive modulation of GABA(A) receptors in the rat spinal cord can produce antinociception in vivo. This present study looks at the interaction of an intraperitoneal injection (i.

Protection of the brain and spinal cord against ischemia is a goal of vast clinical importance. One approach to this objective is to reduce the tissue's functional activity in order to preserve energy for the metabolic processes that are essential to viability. Experiments to explore ways of reducing function-related energy demands were performed on isolated rabbit retina, a well-characterized model of organized adult mammalian central nervous system (CNS) tissue.

Propofol is a rapidly acting intravenous anesthetic agent which has many advantageous kinetic properties explaining its usefulness by bolus dose for induction of anesthesia or for administration by continuous intravenous infusion. It is rapidly distributed in the body with a half-life of only around 2 min and has an efficient hepatic and extrahepatic clearance (total body clearance may exceed liver blood flow). Premedication has little effect on the already good induction characteristics of propofol.
