Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between lower esophageal contractility (LEC), clinical signs, EEG, and enflurane dosage as expressed by minimum alveolar concentration (MAC). Significant (P less than 0.01) correlations were observed between MAC and LEC, MAC and EEG. No correlations were observed between MAC and BP. HR versus LEC, BP versus LEC, and EEG versus LEC correlated only partially. The measurement of LEC is a promising new technique for assessing depth of anesthesia by inhaled anesthetic agents.

Stages of General Anesthesia

Various sedation levels offer significant advantages in facilitating procedural interventions for patients undergoing medical or invasive surgical procedures. These levels span from anxiolysis to general anesthesia, providing a spectrum of sedative effects to cater to specific patient needs. Anxiolysis reduces anxiety and is achieved through minimal sedation, enabling patients to remain awake and responsive while feeling more at ease during the procedure. This level can benefit minor...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:
