Parenteral Anesthetics: Overview01:24

Parenteral Anesthetics: Overview

Intravenous anesthetics are drugs administered parenterally to induce anesthesia or sedation. Propofol is a widely used agent formulated as a 1% emulsion in soybean oil, glycerol, and egg phosphatide. It induces rapid anesthesia primarily due to its rapid distribution from the bloodstream to target tissues and is metabolized in the liver. However, it can cause significant pain on injection and hypertriglyceridemia. Fospropofol, a water-based prodrug of propofol, lacks these adverse effects.
Stages of General Anesthesia01:22

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...
General Anesthesia: Overview01:24

General Anesthesia: Overview

Anesthesia is a medical procedure that uses drugs for CNS suppression to enable painless surgeries and procedures. The selection of anesthetics is influenced by their pharmacokinetic properties, side effects, and patient characteristics. Various types of anesthesia include general, local, regional, spinal, and inhalational.
General anesthesia induces unconsciousness in the whole body, while the others target specific areas or sensations. It is administered to minimize adverse effects, maintain...
Inhalational Anesthetics: Overview01:20

Inhalational Anesthetics: Overview

Inhalation anesthetics are drugs that induce general anesthesia upon inhalation. They work by increasing the sensitivity of GABAA receptors or inhibiting NMDA receptors, leading to a decrease in central nervous system activity. The depth of anesthesia can be rapidly adjusted by changing the concentration of the inhaled gas. Some common examples of inhalational anesthetics include volatile liquids like isoflurane, desflurane, sevoflurane and gases like xenon and nitrous oxide. Isoflurane, a...
Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia01:29

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...
Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia01:11

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia

Spinal anesthetics are given during lower abdomen and limb surgeries to block sensory and motor neurons. They are administered in the mid to low lumbar regions, primarily acting on the cauda equina's nerve roots. The blockade level depends on the local anesthetic (LA) concentration. Usually, low LA concentrations are sufficient to block sensory fibers, while only high LA concentrations block motor fibers. Other factors like injection volume and speed, the patient's posture, and the drug...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Anesthesiology
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Operating room (OR) time is a critical resource in healthcare.
  • Efficient utilization of OR time is essential for pediatric dental procedures under general anesthesia (GA).
  • Understanding factors influencing OR time can improve scheduling and resource allocation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the utilization of OR time for pediatric dental procedures performed under general anesthesia (GA).
  • To analyze the duration of these procedures at a regional children's hospital over a two-year period.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional review of pediatric dental GA records was conducted.
  • Data from 709 patients (ages 0-21) treated between January 2008 and December 2009 were analyzed.
  • Demographic data, operator types, procedures, and OR time utilization were recorded.

Main Results:

  • The mean patient age was 7.1 years, with 58% males.
  • American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) classifications included ASA I (32%), ASA II (45%), and ASA III (24%).
  • Cases finished an average of 14 minutes earlier than scheduled; however, overrun time was associated with patient age, ASA classification, treatment type, number of teeth treated, and dentist operator type.

Conclusions:

  • 73% of pediatric dental procedures under GA concluded on or before the scheduled time.
  • Significant factors influencing procedure duration included patient age, medical status (ASA classification), treatment type and extent, and dentist operator type.
  • Identifying factors impacting GA time can enhance efficiency in pediatric dental procedures.
