Disease relevance of Surgical Procedures, Elective

• The effects of a dose of beclomethasone inhaler (50 micrograms) or lidocaine 10% spray on postoperative sore throat were studied in 120 patients undergoing tracheal intubation for elective surgical procedures [1].

High impact information on Surgical Procedures, Elective

• However, overall evidence does not support a beneficial effect of desmopressin in patients without pre-existing coagulopathy undergoing elective surgical procedures [2].
• A total of 108 volunteers undergoing an elective surgical procedure were randomly given a single 2-g intravenous prophylactic dose of either a cephalosporin or mezlocillin [3].
• MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Plasma concentrations of ANP, BNP, antidiuretic hormone, and renin were determined serially and compared with concentrations measured in a group of eight healthy children undergoing elective surgical procedures [4].
• Desflurane (n = 20) or sevoflurane (n = 22), without nitrous oxide, was given at 1 l/min fresh gas flow for elective surgical procedures lasting more than 2 h; 10 patients received propofol without nitrous oxide as the primary anesthetic [5].
• This study was undertaken to determine the cardiovascular effects and histamine-releasing properties of 51W89 in patients undergoing elective surgical procedures [6].

Biological context of Surgical Procedures, Elective

• The effects of age on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of vecuronium in eight elderly patients aged 72-86 yr and eight younger adults aged 26-48 yr undergoing elective surgical procedures under nitrous oxide-fentanyl anesthesia were studied [7].

Anatomical context of Surgical Procedures, Elective

• The results of two prospective, randomized trials, comparing single dose piperacillin with multidose cefoxitin prophylaxis in elective surgical procedures of the gastrointestinal tract were combined to examine some basic aspects of clinically, applied antibiotic prophylaxis [8].

Associations of Surgical Procedures, Elective with chemical compounds

• Thirty-eight patients undergoing elective surgical procedures received either sevoflurane or isoflurane, by random allocation [9].
• Antibiotic prophylaxis of 1,036 patients undergoing elective surgical procedures. A prospective, randomized comparative trial of cefazolin, cefoxitin, and cefotaxime in a prepaid medical practice [10].
• Forty-two children undergoing elective surgical procedures received remifentanil 5 microg/kg infused over 1 min [11].
• OBJECTIVE--To determine the effects of IV administration of fluids on PCV, serum total protein and blood glucose concentrations, and systolic arterial pressure in healthy anesthetized dogs undergoing elective surgical procedures [12].
• One hundred and eleven patients underwent elective surgical procedures by the same surgeon using either octyl-2-cyanoacrylate or sutures for skin closure at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Most patients underwent excision of benign skin lesions with a mean wound size of 112 mm3 [13].

Gene context of Surgical Procedures, Elective

• Seven, well-nourished, nondiabetic patients undergoing elective surgical procedures were given either no drug (n = 3), GH 30 micrograms/kg/day (n = 2), or GH 60 micrograms/kg/day (n = 2) sub-Q daily until eating, up to 7 days PO [14].
• CC16 was measured in CSF and serum taken just before Caesarean section (n=33) or just before an elective surgical procedure in females (n=52) or males (n=31) [15].
• CONCLUSIONS: Minor or low-risk elective surgical procedures in children with Hb SS may not routinely require pre-operative transfusion [16].
• Recombinant human erythropoietin also may be useful to increase the amount of blood that can be collected before elective surgical procedures [17].
• Seventeen patients with ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) underwent a hepatic resection from 1985 to 1992 at either Kyushu University Hospital or Iizuka Hospital in Japan. They all underwent elective surgical procedures except for one patient who experienced a repeated rupture during hospitalization [18].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Surgical Procedures, Elective

• With the exception of serum glucose concentration and urine production, the effect of general anesthesia on indices of renal function in clinically normal horses is likely of little consequence in most horses admitted for elective surgical procedures [19].
• The effect of premedication on the induction dose of propofol was determined in 15 cats and 25 dogs undergoing elective surgical procedures [20].
