Treatment of elevated intracranial pressure with indomethacin: friend or foe?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Anaesthesia in patients with ischaemic heart disease may cause adverse haemodynamic reactions. This investigation compares the cardiovascular effects of equipotent concentrations of desflurane and isoflurane in 30 patients (ASA III) with coronary artery disease before surgical stimulation. METHODS:After sta...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Inhalation of nitric oxide (INO) exerts both local and distant effects. INO in healthy pigs causes down-regulation of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) production and vasoconstriction in lung regions not reached by INO, especially in hypoxic regions, which augments hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. In contrast,...
