Blir behovet for søvn prioritert på intensiv? : - en kvantitativ undersøkelse av norske intensivavdelingers praksis rundt søvn og sedering

2014

Masteroppgave i spesialsykepleie – Universitetet i Agder 2014 Background: Patients in the intensive care units suffer from sleep disturbances. The lack of sleep may cause physical and psychological disturbances, increased morbidity and prolonged stay. The nurses evaluate patients’ sleep mainly on their own perception. No registration of sleeping and sedation practices has been conducted in intensive care units in Norway. Aim: To get insight into Norwegian intensive care nurses sleeping and sedation practices and what kind of interventions are common to conduct promoting better sleep and to explore if sedation- or sleep assessment tools, or sedation- or sleep protocols were used. Method: A s…

Continuous Theta-Burst Stimulation Intensity Dependently Facilitates Motor-Evoked Potentials Following Focal Electrical Stimulation of the Rat Motor …

2020

Although theta-burst stimulation (TBS) is known to differentially modify motor cortical excitability according to stimulus conditions in humans, whether similar effects can be seen in animals, in particular rats, remains to be defined. Given the importance of experimental rat models for humans, this study explored this stimulation paradigm in rats. Specifically, this study aimed to explore corticospinal excitability after TBS in anesthetized animals to confirm its comparability with human results. Both inhibition-facilitation configurations using paired electrical stimulation protocols and the effects of the TBS paradigm on motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) in rat descending motor pathways wer…

GABAA-receptor Subtypes: Clinical Efficacy and Selectivity of Benzodiazepine Site Ligands

1997

The main inhibitory neurotransmitter receptor of the brain, the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABA[A]), mediates the actions of several classes of clinically important drugs, such as benzodiazepines, barbiturates and general anaesthetics. This review summarizes the current knowledge on how classical benzodiazepines and novel nonbenzodiazepine compounds act on the benzodiazepine site of GABA(A) receptors and on their clinical pharmacology related to anxiolytic, sedative, hypnotic and cognitive effects or side-effects. Partial agonism, receptor subtype selectivity and novel binding sites are discussed as possible strategies to develop new drugs with fewer adverse effects than are s…

Retrieval of evapotranspiration over the Alpilles/ReSeDA experimental site using airborne POLDER sensor and a thermal camera

2005

Abstract Knowledge of land surface evapotranspiration is of prime interest for environmental applications, such as optimizing irrigation water use, especially in arid and semiarid rangelands where water shortage is a critical problem. Numerous methods aiming at estimating evapotranspiration have been proposed in the literature. In the current paper, we assess the potential of the evaporative fraction based on the S-SEBI (Simplified Surface Energy Balance Index) concept for estimating instantaneous evapotranspiration, and extend this potential to the retrieval of daily evapotranspiration (ETd). To this end, a feasible and operational method is developed, which allows mapping instantaneous an…

Grups de poder i violència social en una comarca valenciana: la Ribera del Xúquer (1523-1585)

2022

La present investigació ha centrat les seues mires en l’estudi de la violència i conflictivitat social a la comarca valenciana de la Ribera del Xúquer durant bona part del Cinc-cents, ço és, des de la repressió de la Primera Germania fins a les darreres dècades de la centúria. Conscients que no hi podíem abraçar territorialment tot l’espectre comarcal, hem centrat les nostres perquisicions a tres àrees concretes. En primer lloc, hem estudiat l’evolució i transformació de les faccions de la vila i contribució d’Alzira entre 1523 i 1585, fites cronològiques que coincideixen amb els dos moments de major llunyania entre el sobirà hispànic i les institucions vilatanes. En segon lloc, hem plantej…

157 Patient satisfaction and safety of sedation using perineurial dexmedetomidine in axillary brachial plexus block for wrist surgery

2021

Background and Aims Dexmedetomidine is known to prolong the duration of regional block while its sedative effect when administered perineurally is unknown.[1] We aim to evaluate the effect of perineural Dexmedetomidine on the systemic sedation in patients after axillary brachial plexus block (ABPB). Methods This prospective randomized control trial includes 78 patients undergoing wrist surgery receiving ABPB. The study was conducted with the approval of Ethics Committee of Riga Stradins University. Patients were randomized into two groups – control (CG) (N=39) and study group (SG) (N=39). Both groups received ABPB with a standard dose of local anaesthetics. The study group also received 100…

The clomethiazole acute stroke study (CLASS): Safety results in 1,356 patients with acute hemispheric stroke.

2000

The Clomethiazole Acute Stroke Study (CLASS) showed no difference in outcome between patients treated with clomethiazole or placebo for all patients treated, but a beneficial effect in patients classified as a total anterior circulation syndrome (TACS). These are patients with clinical symptoms of a large stroke. Safety and tolerability data are reported here with emphasis on the safety of treating stroke patients with a sedative drug. In total, 1,356 patients were eligible for safety analysis. Mortality at 90 days was equal between the treatment groups (clomethiazole, 19.5%; placebo, 19.7%). Clomethiazole was generally well-tolerated. The most common adverse event was sedation (clomethiazo…

Hipertensión endocraneal asociada a la sedación con sevoflurano mediante el dispositivo AnaConDa®en un paciente con traumatismo craneoencefálico seve…

2013

Sedation in neurocritical patients remains a challenge as there is no drug that meets all the requirements. Since the appearance of the AnaConDa® device, and according to the latest recommendations, sevoflurane has become an alternative for patients with brain injury. The use of AnaConDa® produces an increase in the anatomical dead space that leads to a decrease in alveolar ventilation. If the decrease in the alveolar ventilation is not offset by an increase in minute volume, there will be an increase in PaCO2. We report the case of a patient with severe traumatic brain injury who suffered an increase in intracranial pressure as a result of increased PaCO2 after starting sedation with the A…
