A Randomized Controlled Trial to Determine the Effect of Depth of Anesthesia on Emergence Agitation in Children.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND The cause of emergence agitation (EA) in children is unknown. Rapid emergence from inhaled anesthesia has been implicated because EA is more common with sevoflurane than with halothane. A dose-dependent effect of sevoflurane, which increases seizure-like electroencephalogram activity, has

ECT emergence agitation and methohexital-succinylcholine interaction. Case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

Two separate methods of preventing post-ECT emergence agitation are increasing the succinylcholine dose to about 1.1 mg/kg and adding a methohexital bolus of about 0.67 mg/kg immediately at seizure end. These methods can work separately and additively without any expectation of diminishing treatment

[Treatment of postictal (emergence) delirium after electroconvulsive therapy].

Only registered users can translate articles

Most patients treated with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) develop cognitive and motor aspects of delirium afterwards. These symptoms are often self-limiting, lasting 10 to 20 minutes. However, about 10% of these patients develop a state characterised by confusion, restlesness, repetitive movements,

Electroconvulsive therapy emergence agitation and succinylcholine dose.

Only registered users can translate articles

In this prospective study, five patients who had repeatedly shown troublesome restless emergence agitation after each of 20 sessions of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) with a succinylcholine dose about .7 mg/kg showed no agitation after 15 ECT sessions in which the succinylcholine dose was increased

[Predisposing factors and prevention of emergence agitation].

[Ambulatory anesthesia for an adult patient with autism and epilepsy: sedation using oral and intravenous dexmedetomidine].

Only registered users can translate articles

A 22-year-old male patient with autism and epilepsy was scheduled to undergo impacted third molar extractions at an outpatient setting. Oral preanesthetic medication with dexmedetomidine and subsequent midazolam with ketamine was acceptable and effective to place intravenous cannula. General

Sevoflurane and emergence behavioral changes in pediatrics.

Only registered users can translate articles

Sevoflurane has rapidly replaced halothane as the inhaled anesthetic agent of choice for the pediatric population. Benefits of sevoflurane use include a quick induction and emergence from anesthesia, a nonpungent odor, which allows for mask induction, and decreased airway irritation, which results

Anesthesia for ECT.

Only registered users can translate articles

This article reviews the use of sedatives and narcosis agents, muscle relaxants, and ventilation that are specific to ECT anesthesia rather than surgical anesthesia. Particular focus is given to interference with a seizure by pretreatment sedation and anesthetic narcosis; dosage of succinylcholine

Outcome of four pretreatment regimes on hemodynamics during electroconvulsive therapy: A double-blind randomized controlled crossover trial.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is associated with tachycardia and hypertension. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare two doses of dexmedetomidine, esmolol, and lignocaine with respect to hemodynamics, seizure duration, emergence agitation (EA), and recovery
