BMC Anesthesiology 2009, 9:4
The vasodilation induced in the feto-placental circulation by the general anesthetic sevoflurane is mediated by blockage of potassium/calcium, potassium/ATP and voltage-gated calcium channels in the chorionic arteries.
BMC Anesthesiology 2009, 9:3
Routine head CT scans in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients who remain unresponsive after cessation of sedation are of little diagnostic value and do not alter management in these patients, suggesting they are of limited utility.
