Anest. intenziv. Med. 2013;24(4):230-236  

Objective:Assessment of factors influencing the reversal of neuromuscular blockade with sugammadex (S) and neostigmin (N) in IRE prostatectomy requiring deep neuromuscular block until the end of surgery. Type:Retrospective study, analysis of anaesthesia charts. Setting:Department of Urology, Department of Anaesthe-siology and Intensive Therapy. Materials and methods:During a 5-month period (November 2011-March 2012) IRE prostatectomy were performed in 35 men in balanced general anaesthesia with rocuronium. At the end of surgery, S 200 mg (BRIDION) or N (NEOSTIGMIN) were administered for the reversal...

Desflurane facilitates a successful wake-up test in scoliosis surgery in children. Case reportAnaesthesiology - Case Reports

Marešová Dagmar, Vymazal Tomáš

Anest. intenziv. Med. 2013;24(4):237-239  

The case report depicts scoliosis surgery and a wake-up test in a 14-year old girl with BMI 22.1 who was in care of a paediatric orthopaedic surgeon for idiopathic scoliosis. She wore a corset for four years but it was ineffective and scoliosis surgery became indicated. The girl was in care of an endocrinologist due to thyroideal hypofuction and a paediatric cardiologist due to a persistent systolic murmur and bifascicular blockade. Appropriate choice of short acting and easy to control drugs used for the general anaesthesia, desflurane included, contributed to smooth surgery and rapid, full wakefulness necessary for the wake-up test. Desflurane facilitates...

Objective:EPOSS (Data-based Evaluation and Prediction of Outcome in Severe Sepsis) & SEPSIS-Q are research projects aimed at the development of a database for parametric monitoring of patients with severe sepsis and the mapping of sepsis epidemiology in the Czech Republic, as well as on the assessment and improvement of quality of care provided to patients treated for severe sepsis. Design:Observational, non-interventional, retrospective study. Settings:Selected intensive care units at University and regional hospitals. Methods:The article introduces the aims, development of the study protocol...

Immune homeostasis (deregulation) in sepsis and septic shockIntensive Care Medicine - Original Paper

Karvunidis Thomas, Lysák Daniel, Chvojka Jiří, Ledvinová Lenka, Raděj Jaroslav, Novák Ivan, Matějovič Martin

Anest. intenziv. Med. 2013;24(4):250-263  

Sepsis and septic shock represent an important medical and socio-economic burden worldwide. The double-phased concept of significant immune homeostasis impairment in sepsis has generally been accepted. In this theory, the initial phase is characterized by enormous activation of immune system followed by the compen-satory phase resulting in profound immunosuppression. However, this paradigm has recently been challenged and the concept of simultaneous pro-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory and adaptive immunity suppressing response occurring early in sepsis has been introduced. These immune alterations leading to the failure to combat relatively avirulent,...
