[Determination of optimal spontaneous respiration anesthesia for outpatient anesthesiology]
Abstract:
Outpatient surgery presents a number of specific requirements for anesthesia, among which there is safety and that the main point is anesthesia, as well as postanesthesia depression should not be a limiting factor on discharge the patient from hospital. The authors compare 3 current anesthetic methods available in our country: 1) combined general anesthesia based on ketamine, dormicun, and fentanyl, 2) total venous anesthesia (TVA) based on propofol and fentanyl, and 3) anesthesia with sevorane inhalation with preserved spontaneous respiration through a laryngeal mask. Analysis of postoperative cognitive disorders and complications, such as postoperative nausea and vomiting makes combined general anesthesia be excluded from the methods suitable for outpatient operations. TVA and sevorane inhalation anesthesia show comparable results in emergence rate tests, and postanesthetic rehabilitation, the number of postoperative complications. However, less cost and amazing predictability enable the authors to prefer inhalation anesthesia.

Assessment of Ventilation I: Respiratory Rate
A Ventilation assessment is critical for monitoring a patient's health status. Respiration, one of the most accessible vital signs, provides insights into the function of numerous body systems and can indicate serious health issues, such as brainstem injuries from head trauma.
