A prospective study of the time to evacuate acute subdural and extradural haematomas.

abstract：:We have previously demonstrated that the peri-operative measurement of increased serum concentrations of the cardiac markers troponins I and T and creatine kinase-MB can be predictors of major cardiovascular outcomes (including cardiac death) at 3 months after surgery. In the present study, we have followed the postop...

abstract：:The unique pharmacology of remifentanil makes it a popular intra-operative analgesic. Short-acting opioids like remifentanil have been associated with acute opioid tolerance and/or opioid-induced hyperalgesia, two phenomena which have different mechanisms and are pharmacologically distinct. Clinical studies show heter...
