Anesthesia

A state characterized by loss of feeling or sensation. This depression of nerve function is usually the result of pharmacologic action and is induced to allow performance of surgery or other painful procedures.

1.	Pain (Aches) 10/01/2015 - "Subspecialty areas most frequently perceived to require improved training included pediatric cardiac anesthesia, chronic pain medicine, and regional anesthesia. " 12/01/2013 - "The key findings were: Double-lumen tube is still the first choice lung separation technique in current use; pressure-controlled ventilation and volume-controlled ventilation modes are homogenously distributed across the sample and, a tidal volumes (VT) of 4-6 mL/kg during OLV was preferred to all others; moderate or restrictive fluid management were the most used strategies of fluid administration in thoracic anesthesia; thoracic epidural analgesia represented the "gold standard" for post-thoracotomy pain relief in combination with intravenous analgesia. " 06/01/2011 - "Nerve block anesthesia at the wrist before palmar injection is preferred by patients and is highly effective in preventing pain associated with injection of the palmar hand for trigger finger and other painful hand procedures." 06/01/2007 - "If the woman is anxious and fears pain (as most nulliparous women do), probably the most convenient, safe and effective method is to use local (intracervical) anesthesia using a dental syringe which can be applied with minimal risk in the office. " 05/01/2005 - "Complication data revealed several significant features: (1) resection weight correlated with increased risk and absolute number of complications; (2) delayed healing correlated directly with resection weight and inversely with increasing age, anesthesia times, and preoperative Short Form-36 bodily pain score; (3) a vertical incision may be associated with increased incidence of complications but requires further analysis; and most importantly, (4) the presence of complications had no negative effect on improvement in Short Form-36 and Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire scores."
2.	Cataract (Cataracts) 05/01/2012 - "Based on the best available evidence, there is no significant difference in the efficacy of peribulbar compared with sub-Tenon anesthesia for cataract surgery; however, the potential complications of peribulbar anesthesia are more serious. " 04/01/2011 - "This study compared the efficacy of single-injection percutaneous peribulbar anesthesia (PBA) with a short needle with sub-Tenon's anesthesia (STA) to produce optimal operating conditions for cataract extraction in patients with complicated cataract. " 11/01/1997 - "After cataract surgery with retrobulbar anesthesia, the patient followed a typical course of Purtscher-like retinopathy with an initial severe loss of vision followed by a gradual and nearly complete improvement in visual function. " 11/01/2006 - "Acupuncture was effective in reducing anxiety related to cataract surgery under topical anesthesia." 06/01/2001 - "Topical anesthesia was effective in phacoemulsification cataract surgery. "
3.	Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) 11/01/2012 - "Current anesthesia clinical decision support use includes antibiotic administration timing, improved documentation, more timely billing, and postoperative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis. " 10/01/2011 - "As advances in the safety and efficacy of surgery and anesthesia have been made, other complications such as postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) have become more apparent. " 02/01/2002 - "However, acupressure, laser stimulation of P6, and acupuncture during anesthesia have not been effective for reducing PONV in the pediatric population. " 08/01/2013 - "For the success of ambulatory surgery, perioperative care with safe and effective anesthesia and postoperative analgesia, which can reduce the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), is essential. " 10/01/2008 - "The presence of heterogeneity and inconsistent results among the included trials prevents any definitive conclusions on the efficacy of P6 stimulation in reducing IONV and PONV associated with cesarean delivery performed under neuraxial anesthesia."
4.	Postoperative Pain 11/01/2013 - "Analgesia was more effective with the combination of spinal and FNB, which allowed better control of postoperative pain, assessed 12 hours after anesthesia. " 11/01/2004 - "After augmentation mammaplasty, both indwelling catheters using continuous flow and intermittent bolus anesthesia as needed are effective in controlling postoperative pain. " 10/01/2011 - "The depth from the skin was 3.20 ± 0.58 cm for the SSN and 2.07 ± 0.45 cm for the AN. The clinical study showed that the total amount of analgesic for patient-controlled anesthesia was markedly decreased at the end of the operation and at 8 hours postoperatively in group II compared with group I. The SSNB and ANB were considered to provide safe and effective analgesia in terms of early postoperative pain in arthroscopic shoulder surgery." 10/01/2014 - "Regional blocks provide sufficient anesthesia for hand surgery and have been found to improve postoperative pain and measured outcome scores. " 01/01/2012 - "Current areas of needed obstetric anesthesia research include improved obese patient care, the impact of anticoagulation on neuraxial techniques in pregnancy, long-term neurocognitive effects of neonatal exposure to anesthesia and postoperative pain management."
5.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 07/01/1995 - "Thus, harvesting PBSC in very small children with active cancers is effective and safe and does not involve the risk of anesthesia or multiple invasive marrow aspirations." 01/01/2014 - "When performed with appropriate care, preoperative planning, and good anesthesia support, hemipelvectomy can be performed safely and is effective for radical excision of various tumor types arising from or near the pelvis." 04/15/2009 - "In both HeyA8 and SKOV3ip1 models, the mice in the laparotomy and mastectomy groups had significantly greater tumor weight (P < 0.05) and nodules (P < 0.05) compared with anesthesia only controls. " 04/01/2003 - "Management of MCRC has improved with major progress in hepatobiliary surgical techniques, anesthesia and intensive care techniques, and also diagnostic and therapeutic radiology, oncology, and other innovations (portal embolization, various methods for local tumor destruction). " 04/01/2000 - "Through advances in imaging technology, endoscopic practice, improvement in surgical technique and perioperative care, anesthesia advances, and a better appreciation for the usefulness of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy, physicians can offer patients some hope for long-term survival and a better quality of life when they are faced with these devastating tumors.
