The action of Opoid crisis on hypothalamic nuclei also may be involved in producing slight fall in the body temperature. Modulation of pain through diencephalic areas like periaqueductal grey, thalamic center and hypothalamic areas is produced. The mid-brain (Mesencephalon) basal nuclei, especially due to excitation of parasympathetic region of Edinger Westphal nucleus of the oculomotor nerve […]
In shiatsu techniques relaxation , treatment is given to the selected points in the palms which are in connection with the different parts of the body. Acupressure means applying pressure to an Acu point representing the area of treatment in question. Sujok is a word derived from Korean word: Su means hand, Jok means feet
Propofol is an insoluble drug that requires a lipid vehicle for emulsification. The standard propofol emulsion formulation contains 10% soya oil as the oil phase and egg lecithin as the emulsifying agent that is composed of long-chain triglycerides. This formulation supports bacterial growth new formulations contain preservatives with bactericidal action, such as propofol with EDTA
Midazolam infusion can be used either alone or combined with a narcotic immediately before the procedure, with supplemental doses to maintain the desired level of sedation throughout the procedure. For short endoscopic or short diagnostic procedures and direct current cardioversion, midazolam infusion of 1 mg/mL formulation is recommended for IV sedation to facilitate slow injection.
Pain is a personal and subjective experience of each individual. Objectivity in such situation of acute pain management techniques is very difficult. So the best way out of this is: “If patient says it hurts, then it hurts!” After accepting the pain, then try to quantify or assess the severity of the pain using acute
One of the lorazepam uses , is that the Lorazepam undergoes reliable absorption after oral and I.M. injection. After oral administration, maximal plasma concentrations of lorazepam occur in 2 to 4 hours and persist at therapeutic levels for up to 24 to 48 hours. The recommended oral dose of lorazepam uses preoperative medication which is
Midazolam sedation is a useful intravenous adjunct to local or regional anesthesia for a variety of therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. Midazolam sedation in doses of 1.0 to 2.5 mg IV (onset within 30-60 sec, time to peak affect 3 to 5 minutes, duration of sedation 15 to 80 minutes) is effective for sedation. Titrated intravenous
Midazolam onset of action undergoes rapid absorption from gastrointestinal tract. Only about 50% of the orally administered dose of midazolam reaches the systemic circulation, reflecting extensive first-pass metabolism. It is highly protein bound and this does not depend on the plasma concentration of the drug. The short duration of the drug is due to its
Neo-Synephrine is the trade name for phenylephrine. It is a pure alpha receptor agonist and has both venous and arterial constrictive effects. Because Alpha1 receptors have been discovered in the myocardium, it is also possible that it has positive inotropic effects. In our current culture of patient safety, it is important to avoid commonly used medical
Etomidate induces loss of consciousness rapidly (5—15 seconds) and recovery occurs in 5 to 15 minutes. The elimination Etomidate half life is 4.6 +1- 2.6 hours and total apparent volume of distribution, 4.5 +/- 2.2 L/kg. The volume of distribution of etomidate half life is large, suggesting considerable tissue uptake. The plasma clearance is 879
