TL;DR: Propofol proved to be a satisfactory agent for sedation of these critically ill patients and compared favourably with midazolam and in a subgroup of patients, weaning from mechanical ventilation was achieved significantly faster after discontinuation of propofol than of midazlam.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-flow anaesthesia
J. A. Baum,Alan R. Aitkenhead +1 more
TL;DR: For both economic and ecological reasons, the use of new inhalational anaesthetics, with low tissue solubility and low anaesthetic potency, can be justified only if the efficiency of administration is optimised by using low‐flow anaesthetic techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Injuries associated with anaesthesia. A global perspective
TL;DR: Patients are subjected to administration of drugs which have side-effects, particularly on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and are at risk of complications resulting from the actions, or inaction, of the anaesthetist and the actions of the surgeon.
