1. Introduction Butorphanol (butorphanol) is a mixed opioid receptor agonist, which mainly causes the excitement of κ receptors; it does not cause the excitement of the μ receptor, and its role on δ receptor activity is very low. Its analgesic effect on long-time pain, respiratory depression is strong and a low incidence of drug dependence [1,2]. At present, research on butorphanol is mostly conducted in intraspinal analgesic medication and the intravenous analgesia [3]. The role of butorphanol nasal spray as postoperative analgesia is rarely reported in the literature. This randomized, double-blind experiment was designed to observe the law for Historical laparoscopic surgery after the analgesic effect and adverse reactions. 2. Data and Methods 2.1 General Information: During 2012.11 to 2013.03 in Alwehda Teaching hospital, Dhamar University. Yemen 60 cases of Historical laparoscopic surgery patients, with the age of 18 to 65-year-old, a weight of 40 ~ 90 Kg, and ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) I~II grade were taken for our study who had preoperative no history of hypertension, liver, kidney function abnormalities. 60 patients were randomly divided …show more content…
Butorphanol has the role of opioid receptors so that a small number of patients can have their own respiratory depression, peripheral vascular resistance increased, decreased myocardial contractility and other side effects [8]. Experimental observation of the patients was all healthy adult male and female, with the exclusion of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases from patients. So the breathing and circulation of a patient of butorphanol group were less affected. For the patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases respiratory dysfunction, the use of butorphanol should be
Prior to intubation for a surgical procedure, the anesthesiologist administered a single dose of the neuromuscular blocking agent, succinylcholine, to a 23-year-old female to provide muscular relaxation during surgery and to facilitate the insertion of the endotracheal tube. Following this, the inhalation anesthetic was administered and the surgical procedure completed.
... side effects such as analgesia, alteration in mood and drowsiness can occur. Fentanyl depresses the respiratory centres and the cough reflexes in addition to restricting the pupils. Analgesic blood concentration of fentanyl can cause nausea and vomiting due to stimulation of the chemoreceptor trigger zone.5
Ascertaining the adequacy of gaseous exchange is the major purpose of the respiratory assessment. The components of respiratory assessment comprises of rate, rhythm, quality of breathing, degree of effort, cough, skin colour, deformities and mental status (Moore, 2007). RR is a primary indicator among other components that assists health professionals to record the baseline findings of current ventilatory functions and to identify physiological respiratory deterioration. For instance, increased RR (tachypnoea) and tidal volume indicate the body’s attempt to correct hypoxaemia and hypercapnia (Cretikos, Bellomo, Hillman, Chen, Finfer, & Flabouris, 2008). The inclusive use of a respiratory assessment on a patient could lead to numerous potential benefits. Firstly, initial findings of respiratory assessment reveals baseline data of patient’s respiratory functions. Secondly, if the patient is on respiratory medication such as salbutamol and ipratropium bromide, the respiratory assessment enables nurses to measure the effectiveness of medications and patient’s compliance towards those medications (Cretikos, Bellomo, Hillman, Chen, Finfer, & Flabouris, 2008). Thirdly, it facilitates early identification of respiratory complications and it has the potential to reduce the risk of significant clinical
Dealing with alcohol withdrawal, Atenolol can be used as an addition to tradition alcohol withdrawal treatment to help make the results more effective. In relation to anxiety disorders, atenolol is usually used in small stress reactions, minor panic disorders, and generalized anxiety syndrome. Results are most easily obtainable in patients who have bodily anxiety, as opposed to the mind, and helps reduce trembling and rapid heart beat. Atenolol also had a large affect on cardiac illnesses. In the most common, angina pectoris, atenolol is used to decrease the amount of repeated attacks and to prevent any immediate death. Atenolol is best effective on middle-aged or teenagers, and to those with high blood pressure and heart rate as a result of exercise. The other major heart sickness is congestive heart failure. Giving Atnolol to a person with congestive heart failure must be taken with much care and precauution. One should start with low doses at first, and as time passes, increase the intake gradually. Overall, it affects the heart and circulatory system to either lessen the effect of or prevent any type of cardiovascular illness that may cause serious and/or permanent damage to the body. But how exactly does the medication work?
Opioids are used as pain relievers and although it does the job, there are adverse side effects. Opioids are frequently used in the medical field, allowing doctors to overprescribe their patients. The substance can be very addicting to the dosage being prescribed to the patient. Doctors are commonly prescribing opioids for patients who have mild, moderate, and severe pain. As the pain becomes more severe for the patient, the doctor is more likely to increase the dosage. The increasing dosages of the narcotics become highly addicting. Opioids should not be prescribed as pain killers, due to their highly addictive chemical composition, the detrimental effects on opioid dependent patients, the body, and on future adolescents. Frequently doctors have become carless which causes an upsurge of opioids being overprescribed.
Shouldice Hospital focus on hernia repair surgery which is mostly performed on males. Shouldice operation strategy involves early ambulation following hernia repair surgery that was superior to others. Only external kind of abdominal hernias were repaired at Shouldice Hospital. Internal types, such as hiatus (or diaphragmatic) hernias were not treated. First time repairs (primaries) of hernias involved straightforward operating procedures that required about 45 minutes. Such cases represent 82% of all operations and remaining were patients suffering recurrences of hernias previously repaired elsewhere. The market was targeted by providing following services
Dr. Tagge, the lead surgeon, finally updated the family over two and a half hours later stating that Lewis did well even though he had to reposition the metal bar four times for correct placement (Kumar, 2008; Monk, 2002). Helen reported wondering if Dr. Tagge had realized how much Lewis’ chest depression had deepened since he last saw him a year ago in the office, especially considering he did not lay eyes on Lewis until he was under anesthesia the day of surgery (Kumar, 2008). In the recovery room, Lewis was conscious and alert with good vital signs, listing his pain as a three out of ten (Monk, 2002). Nurses and doctors in the recovery area charted that he had not produced any urine in his catheter despite intravenous hydration (Kumar, 2008; Monk, 2002). Epidural opioid analgesia was administered post-operatively for pain control, but was supplemented every six hours by intravenous Toradol (Ketorolac) (Kumar, 2008; Solidline Media,

Distribution (reviewed by Gandhi, Aweeka, Greenblatt, & Blaschke, 2004) : Many factors affect the distribution of opioid drugs throughout the body, including body mass index (BMI), body composition, plasma volume, organ blood flow, and the degree to which a drug binds to tissues and plasma proteins (Atkinson, Huang, Lertora, & Markey, 2012). Women have a higher body fat percentage, a lower average body weight, a smaller average plasma volume, and lower average organ blood flow than men; thus, it ...

Laparoscopy is a minor surgical procedure done under general or local anesthesia. It is usually performed as an out-patient procedure. For detection of cysts and lesions, laparoscopy is performed by making a small incision in the navel and then inflating the abdomen with carbon dioxide. Next, a laparoscope (a long, thin instrument used for viewing) is carefully inserted into the inflated abdominal cavity. The abdomen and pelvis is then inspected for lesions and cysts.
Anesthesia is used in almost every single surgery. It is a numbing medicine that numbs the nerves and makes the body go unconscious. You can’t feel anything or move while under the sedative and are often delusional after being taken off of the anesthetic. Believe it or not, about roughly two hundred years ago doctors didn’t use anesthesia during surgery. It was rarely ever practiced. Patients could feel everything and were physically held down while being operated on. 2It wasn’t until 1846 that a dentist first used an anesthetic on a patient going into surgery and the practice spread and became popular (Anesthesia). To this day, advancements are still being made in anesthesiology. 7The more scientists learn about molecules and anesthetic side effects, the better ability to design agents that are more targeted, more effective and safer, with fewer side effects for the patients (Anesthesia). Technological advancements will make it easier to read vital life signs in a person and help better decide the specific dosages a person needs.
Anticholinergics are often the drug of choice when sympathomimetics are contraindicated or ineffective. This class of drugs affects the vagus nerve. They antagonize acetylcholine action & thereby help to relax bronchial smooth muscle and promote bronchodilation- often in form of rescue-inhalers (Karch, p. 934).
On my first clinical rotation outside of 5w, in the Roanoke Memorial Hospital, I had the pleasure of visiting the OR. My last week of clinical rotation, I got the opportunity to witness two different cases. I saw a hemorrhoidectomy, and a Laparoscopic colectomy. Although I only had an opportunity of witnessing the hemorrhoidectomy in the middle of the procedure, both procedures were quite invasive. There were both very interesting to watch.
Pharmacology is a vital component in the perioperative practice. Medication use is monitored closely during the perioperative period. Preoperatively, there are certain drugs that must be discontinued prior to a surgery as they increase surgical risk, including anticoagulants, tranquillisers, corticosteroids and diuretics (Laws, 2010b). In fact, these drugs can increase the risk of respiratory depression, infection, fluid and electrolyte imbalance and increased risk of bleeding (Hamlin, 2010). Open communication is important in obtaining a medication history, and in identifying the drugs taken prior to the surgery. If any of these medications has be...
