Can you please give a brief overview of inhaled anesthetics and how they have been used in medical procedures? Inhaled anesthetics are fairly common all over the world for minor and extensive surgical ...

Inhaled anesthetics have been used for over a century and have made modern surgery possible, but new research suggests they can also combat viral and bacterial infections in the lungs. To examine just ...

The first estimation of how genomic copy number variation (CNV) can influence anesthetic sensitivity and the magnitude of this influence can be gauged by a new study The first estimation of how ...

Setting: Children's hospitals contributing to the Pediatric Health Information System between 2004–2008. Patients: Children 2–18 years old with a primary diagnosis code for asthma supported with ...

Ten genes that may make patients more or less susceptible to a common anesthetic agent have been identified by researchers using tiny worms and sophisticated technology that eliminates the activity of ...

While studying fruit flies, researchers from Germany's University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Kiel have found a genetic mutation that might explain how volatile anesthetics work. Volatile ...

Researchers looked at whether or not it was necessary to stock dantrolene, a drug used to treat malignant hyperthermia, at facilities using succinylcholine alone instead of volatile anesthetics, ...

In experiments in mice, researchers have added to evidence that certain so-called “volatile” anesthetics — commonly used during surgeries — may also possess powerful effects on the immune system that ...
