(University of Pretoria, 2003)Introduction The neuropsychological deterioration after cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), is ascribed to brain ischaemia caused by, amongst others, hypotension, cerebral hyperthermia, cerebral embolism, ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2005-09-22)Knowledge of the absorption of inhalation anaesthetic agents is essential if one is to safely administer them. Despite many years of research in linear science, no model has been described that can reliably predict inhalation ...
-
(Elsevier, 2006-08)OBJECTIVES: Cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with neurologic deterioration. Several interventions, including anesthetic techniques, have been designed to limit ischemic brain damage and have ...

-
(Medpharm Publications, 2008-05)INTRODUCTION: Tracheal intubation is accompanied by an increased blood pressure and heart rate. The aim of this study was to find the most important source of this haemodynamic response, namely laryngoscopy or intubation. ...

-
(Medpharm Publications, 2009-04)OBJECTIVES: To investigate the influence on intraocular pressure (IOP) of airway management with a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) or tracheal tube (ETT), and secondly to compare the devices with regard to their impact on ...

(OpenJournals Publishing, 2010-08)While undergoing conscious sedation for a gastroscopy, an 18-year-old female developed severe hypotension and loss of consciousness. This occurred shortly after an intravenous dose of hyoscine-N-butylbromide (Buscopan®). ...
-
(OpenJournals Publishing, 2010-08)BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that spectral entropy of the electroencephalogram as applied in the M-Entropy S/5TM Module (GE Healthcare) does not detect the effects of nitrous oxide (N2O). The aim of this study was ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2010-08-23)Introduction Alternative medicine has been employed in the treatment of several diseases. Listening to music after minor surgery has been beneficial regarding pain control. Aim The aim of this study was to determine the ...
-
(OpenJournals Publishing, 2011-02)This discussion will focus on the perioperative anaesthetic considerations for patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The preoperative workup of these patients will be covered separately. However, one needs to emphasise ...
-
(OpenJournals Publishing, 2011-02)Trauma, surgery and anaesthesia are known triggers of the stress response and this has been shown in many studies to present as a hyperglycaemic response. These elevated blood glucose levels have, in turn, been linked in ...
-
(OpenJournals Publishing, 2011-05)Failure to recognise the signs of sudden cardiac arrest or impending cardiac arrest will lead to delayed intervention. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) must be initiated without delay, irrespective of the level of skill ...
-
(OpenJournals Publishing, 2012-06-19)OBJECTIVES: To determine the effect of different levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on pulse pressure variation (PPV). DESIGN: An observational study. SETTING: Operating theatres of a tertiary training ...
-
(OpenJournals Publishing, 2014)Unexpected difficulty in maintaining an open airway following induction of anaesthesia remains an ever-present hazard. Repetitive attempts at direct laryngoscopy and intubation are generally acknowledged to be inappropriate. ...
-
(MedPharm Publications, 2015)eHealth is the use of information and communication technologies for health. mHealth is the use of mobile technology in health. As with all information technology (IT), advances in development are rapidly taking place. ...
-

-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)Objective To compare the cardiopulmonary function of cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) undergoing propofol total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) to isoflurane maintenance in order to evaluate their feasibility for field use. Study ...
