Electroanesthesia

We have studied the effects of chlorpromazine, acepromazine, droperidol, and transcranial electroanesthesia upon evacuation function of the stomach in piglets and the effects of leu-enkephalin and glycyl-proline upon secretory activity of the stomach in dogs and rats during surgical stress to optimize anesthetic dosage. All pharmaceutical and nonpharmaceutical methods of anesthesia used in the experiments were implemented by actiovating stress-limiting systems in post-operational period. Leu-enkephalin, apart from stimulating the stress-limiting factors of neurohumoral systems of the organism, shifted the vector ratio of aggressive and protective factors of gastric mucosa toward strengthening of the latter...

Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES) encompasses all methods of non-invasive current application to the brain used in research and clinical practice. We present the first comprehensive and technical review, explaining the evolution of tES in both terminology and dosage over the past 100 years of research to present day. Current transcranial Pulsed Current Stimulation (tPCS) approaches such as Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) descended from Electrosleep (ES) through Cranial Electro-stimulation Therapy (CET), Transcerebral Electrotherapy (TCET), and NeuroElectric Therapy (NET) while others like Transcutaneous Cranial Electrical Stimulation (TCES) descended from Electroanesthesia (EA) through Limoge, and Interferential Stimulation...

The purpose of this research was to compare the effectiveness of ring block anesthesia (LA) and electroanesthesia (A) for antler removal in elk given a long-acting tranquilizer to remove stress from restraint. Thirty-two male wapiti were given 1 mg/kg body weight of zuclopenthixol acetate; the next day, they were restrained in a hydraulic chute, provided with electroanesthesia or a lidocaine ring block, and had their antlers removed. Behavioral response to antler removal was scored. Significantly more (P = 0...

1. Gastric juice collected during electro-anesthesia and limbic system stimulation in monkeys contains a substance which, when injected into other monkeys, produces reduction in basal gastric acid secretion. 2. Cross-circulation experiments indicate that a factor producing reduction in acid secretion is also present in blood during electroanesthesia.

The results of evaluation of different kinds of palliative treatment (the complex one included) of 430 cancer patients are presented. The practices of the health service as well as the tentative conclusions of our investigations have shown that better palliation is both necessary and promising following radical surgery or in cases of extensive tumor process. If taken in combination, such procedures as transcranial electroanesthesia, electroacupuncture, palliative chemo- and hormone therapy, laser and analgetics of a new generation may be instrumental in considerably improving the quality of life in cancer patients, psychotherapy being an indispensable component...

A combination of electrical anesthesia with calypsol and nitrous oxide has been developed and used in neurosurgical operations performed to 142 children aged 8 days to 15 years, who were divided into two groups. Group 1 included 89 children administered electrical anesthesia in combination with calypsol and nitrous oxide, Group 2 consisted of 53 children, to whom only routine calypsol and nitrous oxide anesthesia was administered. The Lennar apparatus was used to administer electrical anesthesia. The adequacy of anesthesia was estimated on the basis of the clinical data and laboratory findings...

Cerebral electrical stimulation (CES), born from research on electroanesthesia in the seventies, consists of the application of a pulsating current of small intensity (usually less than 1 mA, and below the threshold of perception) through the skull, e.g., in daily 30-min sessions. Claims of biological effectiveness (neurochemical, hormonal and EEG changes, naloxone-reversible analgesia in rats, etc.) and of clinical effectiveness (anxiety, depression, cognitive functions in alcoholics) have often relied on poorly controlled data...

This study was an attempt to apply to electroanesthesia (EA) the accepted criteria for surgical anesthesia brought about by chemical agents, namely, analgesia, muscle relaxation and the abolition of such reflexes as the corneal, pinnal and light reflexes. In the cat, with extracranial, bilateral, temporally placed electrodes, anesthesia was best achieved by a sine wave of 3,500 to 4,500 Hz with a low-frequency component of 100 Hz (15% of the applied current). The appropriate current intensity differed for each cat, ranging from 45 to 55 mA, peak to peak...

An autoradiographic method using tracer amounts of [14C]2-deoxy-D-glucose was used to detect areas of the brain in which glucose consumption was altered under extracranial electroanesthesia, as compared with ether-anesthetized cats. All brain structures studied exhibited higher glucose consumption rates than the homologous controls, by amounts varying from 14 to 174%. In 20 out of 31 structures, the increase was statistically significant. Brain structures were heterogeneous regarding the magnitude of their glucose metabolism and could be scaled accordingly; EA changed the scaling hierarchy...
