Chemical compound and disease context of Surgical Procedures, Minor

• The current study was designed to investigate the effect of oral clonidine given preoperatively on postoperative pain in children undergoing minor surgery [10].
• Thirty-two patients undergoing minor surgical procedures were anaesthetized, induction being with etomidate 0.3 mg/kg body weight [11].

Biological context of Surgical Procedures, Minor

• The current study was designed to investigate the effect of exogenous glucose infusion on plasma glucose and lipid homeostasis in infants undergoing minor surgery [12].
• The pharmacokinetics of methohexitone were investigated in 15 healthy children undergoing minor surgery under inhalation anaesthesia [13].
• We investigated the formation of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) in metaphase chromosomes of T-lymphocytes of children as a marker for possible genotoxocity following total intravenous anesthesia with propofol for minor surgical procedures [14].
• The primary aim of this pilot project was to study the early bioavailability for two fixed doses of orally administrated paracetamol and one dose of intravenous propacetamol, all of which were given after minor surgery [15].
• In 40 spontaneously breathing children (7.3-47.9 kg) anaesthetized with halothane for minor surgical procedures the fresh gas flow (FGF) at onset of rebreathing (FGFr) was determined and end-tidal CO2 concentration (ETCO2), minute ventilation (VE), tidal volume (VT) and respiratory rates (f) were registered [16].

Anatomical context of Surgical Procedures, Minor

• We investigated the formation of SCE in mitogen-stimulated T-lymphocytes of 40 children undergoing sevoflurane anaesthesia for minor surgical procedures [17].
• Earlier studies on propofol have shown increased percentages of T helper cells after minor surgery [18].
• The effects of diazepam premedication and administration of an epinephrine-containing local anesthetic on plasma catecholamine levels and cardiovascular parameters were evaluated prior to and during a minor surgical procedure, the removal of impacted third molars [19].
• We conclude that a brachial plexus block with 1.5% mepivacaine and a continuous intraarticular infusion of 0.5% ropivacaine at 2 mL/h provides improved analgesia for minor surgery at 24 and 48 h versus a single-injection interscalene block with 0.5% ropivacaine [20].
• One hundred and twenty children undergoing minor surgery below the umbilicus were randomly assigned to receive either (1) propofol 3 mg.kg-1 followed by a maintenance infusion of 5 mg.kg-1.h-1, or (2) induction with sevoflurane 7% followed by maintenance with 1.7% [21].

Associations of Surgical Procedures, Minor with chemical compounds

• Midazolam and sodium thiopental are two commonly used drugs in anesthesia for minor surgical procedures in children [22].
• Parenteral NSAIDs alone, notably ketorolac and diclofenac, may be adequate or even preferred analgesic agents after minor surgery [23].
• Preliminary studies have confirmed the efficacy of proquazone in acute inflammatory disorders, and shown that it provides useful analgesic relief in acute pain states such as dysmenorrhoea, headache and after minor surgery [24].
• METHODS: The authors studied two groups of 6-24-month-old children with no cardiorespiratory and neurologic disorders, undergoing elective minor surgery with halothane anesthesia: one group breathing via LMA (n = 10) and one group breathing via endotracheal tube (n = 10) [25].
• Metabolic changes in the non-insulin-dependent diabetic undergoing minor surgery: effect of glucose-insulin-potassium infusion [26].

Gene context of Surgical Procedures, Minor

• Plasma concentrations of protein C, protein S and antithrombin III were measured in 33 unselected children with a history of cryptogenic stroke (group 1), four children with previously ascertained low plasma concentrations of protein C following stroke (group 2) and 42 healthy children undergoing minor surgery (group 3) [27].
• Antiendomisyum antibodies and anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies were determined in patients with a clinical suspicion of CD (including unexplained chronic HT), in patients at risk, and in patients with preoperative increased ALT activity for minor surgery [28].
• IL-6 plasma levels peaked higher and earlier after major surgery than after minor surgery and the delayed increase of CRP was significantly greater in the major surgery group [29].
• The responses to DDAVP of FVIII:C and vWF parameters in vWD 2M, Vincenza, 2E, and mild 2A, 2U, and 2N are transiently good for a variable number of hours to arrest mucocutaneous bleeding episodes or to prevent bleeding during minor surgery or trauma [30].
• Plasma levels were significantly elevated 2 and 6 h after minor surgery (3,619 micrograms/L), while no changes were observed in the plasma levels of MRP8 and MRP14 [31].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Surgical Procedures, Minor

• Urine volume, urine osmolality, and amount of sodium and potassium excreted into urine were examined every hour for 3 h during minor surgery under general anesthesia with isoflurane and nitrous oxide in oxygen [32].
• The effect of fentanyl (a morphine agonist) and naloxone (a morphine antagonist) on early and late components of somatic (SEP)- and auditory (AEP)-evoked potentials was studied in patients undergoing minor surgical procedures, in which these compounds were used in producing and regulating a state of neuroleptanalgesia [33].
• It is suggested that temazepam is a suitable drug for premedication for minor surgery [34].
• Mandatory administration of ketorolac appeared to be of benefit in both major and minor orthopaedic surgery, although the principal effects were reduction in requirement for supplementary morphine for major surgery and better overall analgesia for minor surgery [35].
• Effects of minor surgery and endotracheal intubation on postoperative breathing patterns in patients anaesthetized with isoflurane or sevoflurane [36].
