Abstract:
During surgery, one of the primary functions of the anesthesiologist is to monitor the patient and ensure safe and effective conduct of anesthesia to provide the optimum operating conditions. Standard guidelines for perioperative monitoring have been firmly established by the American Society of Anesthesiologists. However, in recent years, new advances in technology has led to the development of many new monitoring modalities, especially involving the neurologic and cardiovascular systems. This article presents a targeted review to discuss the functions and limitations of these new monitors and how they are applied in the modern operating room setting.

Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.
Types of Advanced Functional Groups
The table below summarizes some of the major functional groups in organic chemistry.
Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia
Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia
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...
