Perioperative blood transfusions and survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer: a retrospective study.

BMC anesthesiology

Cata JP, Chukka V, Wang H, Feng L, Gottumukkala V, Martinez F, Vaporciyan AA.
PMID: 24228905
BMC Anesthesiol. 2013 Nov 15;13(1):42. doi: 10.1186/1471-2253-13-42.

BACKGROUND: Perioperative blood transfusions have been associated with poor clinical outcomes in the context of oncological surgery. Current literature is inconclusive whether blood transfusions are linked to shorter recurrence free and overall survival after lung cancer surgery. We hypothesize...

Ibuprofen 400 mg is effective in women, and women are well represented in trials.

BMC anesthesiology

Barden J, Edwards JE, Moore RA, McQuay HJ.
PMID: 12437764
BMC Anesthesiol. 2002 Nov 01;2:6. doi: 10.1186/1471-2253-2-6.

BACKGROUND: A recent article in the New Scientist argued that women were under-represented in clinical trials which, until now, had masked the finding that ibuprofen 400 mg was ineffective in women.METHODS: Meta-analysis of randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled trials of ibuprofen...

Oral valdecoxib and injected parecoxib for acute postoperative pain: a quantitative systematic review.

BMC anesthesiology

Barden J, Edwards JE, McQuay HJ, Moore RA.
PMID: 12854974
BMC Anesthesiol. 2003 Jul 10;3(1):1. doi: 10.1186/1471-2253-3-1.

BACKGROUND: Clinical trials suggest that cyclo-oxygenase-2 specific inhibitors (coxibs) are an effective treatment for acute postoperative pain. The aims of this systematic review were to examine the evidence for oral valdecoxib and injected parecoxib, and quantify efficacy and adverse...

Single-dose oral naproxen for acute postoperative pain: a quantitative systematic review.

BMC anesthesiology

Mason L, Edwards JE, Moore RA, McQuay HJ.
PMID: 12964947
BMC Anesthesiol. 2003 Sep 10;3(1):4. doi: 10.1186/1471-2253-3-4.

BACKGROUND: Naproxen and naproxen sodium are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs used in a variety of painful conditions, including the treatment of postoperative pain. This review aims to assess the efficacy, safety and duration of action of a single oral dose...

Effect of Gabapentin on morphine demand and pain after laparoscopic sterilization using Filshie clips. A double blind randomized clinical trial.

BMC anesthesiology

Bartholdy J, Hilsted KL, Hjortsoe NC, Engbaek J, Dahl JB.
PMID: 17083725
BMC Anesthesiol. 2006 Nov 03;6:12. doi: 10.1186/1471-2253-6-12.

BACKGROUND: A considerable number of patients require opioids during recovery after laparoscopic sterilization. This implies nausea, dizziness and sedation and increases the number of unplanned admissions. Gabapentin has shown excellent postoperative analgesic effect in a number of recent studies...

Inhibition of sarcoplasmic Ca2+-ATPase increases caffeine- and halothane-induced contractures in muscle bundles of malignant hyperthermia susceptible and healthy individuals.

BMC anesthesiology

Schuster F, Müller R, Hartung E, Roewer N, Anetseder M.
PMID: 15946384
BMC Anesthesiol. 2005 Jun 09;5:8. doi: 10.1186/1471-2253-5-8.

BACKGROUND: Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is triggered by halogenated anaesthetics and depolarising muscle relaxants, leading to an uncontrolled hypermetabolic state of skeletal muscle. An uncontrolled sarcoplasmic Ca2+ release is mediated via the ryanodine receptor. A compensatory mechanism of increased sarcoplasmic...

Risk factors for bacterial catheter colonization in regional anaesthesia.

BMC anesthesiology

Morin AM, Kerwat KM, Klotz M, Niestolik R, Ruf VE, Wulf H, Zimmermann S, Eberhart LH.
PMID: 15774007
BMC Anesthesiol. 2005 Mar 17;5(1):1. doi: 10.1186/1471-2253-5-1.

BACKGROUND: Although several potential risk factors have been discussed, risk factors associated with bacterial colonization or even infection of catheters used for regional anaesthesia are not very well investigated. METHODS: In this prospective observational trial, 198 catheters at several...

Effect of propofol and etomidate on normoxic and chronically hypoxic pulmonary artery.

BMC anesthesiology

Ouédraogo N, Mounkaïla B, Crevel H, Marthan R, Roux E.
PMID: 16515695
BMC Anesthesiol. 2006 Mar 03;6:2. doi: 10.1186/1471-2253-6-2.

BACKGROUND: Chronic alveolar hypoxia results in sustained arterial constriction, and increase in pulmonary vascular resistance leading to pulmonary artery hypertension (PAHT). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of propofol and etomidate on pulmonary artery (PA)...

Halothane potentiates the alcohol-adduct induced TNF-alpha release in heart endothelial cells.

BMC anesthesiology

Thiele GM, Hill GE, Pavlik JA, Freeman TL, Tuma DJ, Duryee MJ, Klassen LW.
PMID: 15826301
BMC Anesthesiol. 2005 Apr 12;5(1):3. doi: 10.1186/1471-2253-5-3.

BACKGROUND: The possibility exists for major complications to occur when individuals are intoxicated with alcohol prior to anesthetization. Halothane is an anesthetic that can be metabolized by the liver into a highly reactive product, trifluoroacetyl chloride, which reacts with...

Immediate and short-term pain relief by acute sciatic nerve press: a randomized controlled trial.

BMC anesthesiology

He J, Wu B, Zhang W, Ten G.
PMID: 17504543
BMC Anesthesiol. 2007 May 16;7:4. doi: 10.1186/1471-2253-7-4.

BACKGROUND: Despite much research, an immediately available, instantly effective and harmless pain relief technique has not been discovered. This study describes a new manipulation: a "2-minute sciatic nerve press", for rapid short-term relief of pain brought on by various...
