Awake craniotomy has become an increasingly frequent procedure.... Choosing an awake technique or general anaesthesia depends on several factors... More prospective randomized clinical trials are still needed to improve safety and efficacy of awake craniotomies, as well as to validate this technique in comparison with more conventional anaesthetic management. 2, record 2, English, - awake%20craniotomy

In a study in which vascular filling was assessed only by arterial blood pressure, pHi [gastric pH] values were higher in patients who received a combination of TEA [thoracic epidural anaesthesia] and general anaesthesia than in patients who received general anaesthesia only... In a second study, vascular filling was optimised by means of a pulmonary artery catheter, and no difference was found in pHi values between patients anaesthetised with TEA and general anaesthesia and with general anaesthesia only... 2, record 3, English, - vascular%20filling

Le maintien de la volémie ou masse sanguine totale est indispensable à l’oxygénation tissulaire [...] Toute hypovolémie, qu’elle soit absolue par diminution de la masse sanguine, ou relative par diminution du retour veineux au cœur, expose au risque d’effondrement du débit cardiaque, de la pression artérielle et surtout du transport et de la délivrance tissulaire en oxygène, à l’origine d’un syndrome de défaillance multiviscérale. Le remplissage vasculaire a donc pour objectifs la restauration d’une volémie efficace ainsi que le maintien d’une pression de perfusion et d’un apport d’oxygène adéquats. Différents solutés de remplissage sont à notre disposition. Ils se répartissent en deux grandes catégories, les cristalloïdes et les colloïdes. Le choix d’un produit de remplissage doit prendre en compte les propriétés physico-chimiques, pharmacocinétiques et pharmacodynamiques du soluté, ses effets secondaires, ainsi que le contexte et l’indication du remplissage vasculaire. 2, record 3, French, - remplissage%20vasculaire
