[Xenon and sevoflurane anti stress activity comparative assessment during elective anaesthesia in pediatric patients]
Unlabelled:
Research objective was to compare Xenon and Sevoflurane anti stress activities during elective anaesthesia in Pediatric patients.
Material And Methods:
The results of anaesthesia in 42 patients in age from 1 to 18 years were analyzed. The clinical sings, BIS-index, Somatotropinum hormone and Cortisol levels in patient's blood were studied.
Results:
Xenon and Sevoflurane provide sufficient level of sedation, analgesia and do not cause Somatotropinum hormone and Cortisol levels increase.
Conclusion:
Xenon and Sevoflurane have the same high anti stress activity However Xenon anaesthesia is characterized by more stable haemodynamics.

Sedatives and Hypnotics Drugs: Miscellaneous Agents
Melatonin congeners like ramelteon (Rozerem) and tasimelteon (Hetlioz) selectively bind to melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2) and thus mimic the actions of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Tasimelteon is primarily used for non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder, common in blind patients. They are also used to treat conditions like insomnia...
Sedatives and Hypnotics: Overview
Sedative-hypnotics are categorized into barbiturates, benzodiazepines (BZDs), and non-benzodiazepines or Z-drugs. These drugs work by suppressing central nervous system activity, and this suppression is dose-dependent. Older sedative medications, like barbiturates, follow a linear curve in...
