Purpose: The goal of postoperative pain management is to provide safe, continuous, effective analgesia, free from unwanted side effects. In doing so, it is hoped that postoperative morbidity is reduced, facilitating recovery, and hasten discharge from hospital. However, the effects of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and complications after a major gastrointestinal operation are currently unclear. Methods: Fifty four and 31 patients who had undergone an elective gastrectomy due to stomach can

BACKGROUND\nAtracurium is a benzylisoquinolium nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug. It releases histamine upon the rapid administration of more than 2 x ED95. Cisatracurium is about three to four times more potent than atracurium, less likely to release histamine, and has weaker cardiovascular or autonomic effects. Mivacurium releases histamine to about the same degree as atracurium at the same dose. This study was undertaken to reevaluate the experimental model for the evaluation of eff

Background: Hemodilution is known to increase cerebral blood flow, but it is not known why it is. We tried to investigate about these question like above. Methods: Blood flow were checked on carotid artery after hemodilution by using electromagnetic blood flow-meter in 10 rabbits. Hemodilution was induced as 15 ml of lactated Ringers solution (LR) was infused after removing 5 ml of blood. Hemodilution was done 5 times in each rabbit. At 15 minutes after each hemodilution procedure, blood flow
