• The Incidence and Magnitude of Cerebral Desaturation in Traumatic Brain Injury: An Observational Cohort Study

  Background: Cerebral ischemia in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) may propagate secondary neurological injury. Episodes of cerebral ischemia can be revealed through the use of cerebral oximetry monitoring. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence and severity of regional cerebral oxygen (rSO2) desaturation (rSO220 mm Hg were 6 times more likely to have a cerebral desaturation (relative risk: 6.0; 95% confidence inte

• A Bolus Dose of Ketamine Reduces the Amplitude of the Transcranial Electrical Motor-evoked Potential: A Randomized, Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled Study

  Background: A low-dose bolus or infusion of ketamine does not affect transcranial electrical motor-evoked potential (MEP) amplitude, but a dose ≥1 mg/kg may reduce MEP amplitude. We conducted a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effect of ketamine (1 mg/kg) on transcranial electrical MEP. Methods: Twenty female patients (aged 12 to 18 y) with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis scheduled to undergo posterior

• Gastric emptying time after breakfast in healthy adult volunteers using ultrasonography

  Abstract There is little evidence of gastric excretion after ingestion of solids. We examined gastric emptying times after ingesting normal breakfast in healthy adult volunteer using ultrasonography. Eight adult volunteers fasted for 8 h, and we examined the gastric antral area in the right lateral decubitus position using ultrasonography. Sixteen adult volunteers ingested normal breakfast. We evaluated the gastric antral area

• A practical guide for anesthetic management during intraoperative motor evoked potential monitoring

  Abstract Postoperative motor dysfunction can develop after spinal surgery, neurosurgery and aortic surgery, in which there is a risk of injury of motor pathway. In order to prevent such devastating complication, intraoperative monitoring of motor evoked potentials (MEP) has been conducted. However, to prevent postoperative motor dysfunction, proper understanding of MEP monitoring and proper anesthetic managements are required.
