Administration by inhalation using vapouriser specifically designed for use with desflurane and dose individual- ised based on patient’s response. MAC decreases with increasing age. Induction: End-tidal concentrations of 4-11% usually produces surgical anaesthesia in 2-4 minutes. Not for induction in paediatrics. Maintenance: 2.5-8.5% with or without concomitant nitrous oxide. 5.2-10% with or without nitrous oxide in paediatrics. Not for use in non-intubated children.

Precautions: Only to be administered by people trained in administration of general anaesthesia with appropriate emergency measures available. Monitor blood pressure and heart rate as part of evaluation of the depth of anaesthesia. Caution in use with LMA or face mask in children under 6 years. May trigger malignant hyperthermia. Inhaled anaesthetics have been associated with increases in serum potassium. Prompt and vigorous treatment for hyperkalaemia and arrhythmias recommended. Disruption of hepatic function, icterus and fatal liver necrosis have been reported with halogenated anaesthetics. May increase CSF pressure but attention to maintain CPP. Hypotension and respiratory depression increases as anaesthesia deepens. Carbon dioxide absorbers should not dry out. Appropriate analgesia should be administered at the end of surgery or early in PACU. Caution with repeated anaesthesia in a short period of time. Desflurane has been associated with some glucose elevation intra-operatively. Safety of desflurane has not been established in obstetric procedures. Contra-indications: Not to be used if general anaesthesia in contra-indicated, known hypersensitivity to halogenated agents or known susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia. Interactions: MAC reduced by concomitant N2O administration. Concomitant administration of opioids or benzodiazepines show a marked reduction in MAC. Neuromuscular blocks are potentiated by desflurane. Overdose: Discontinue desflurane, establish clear airway and initiate assisted/controlled ventilation with pure oxygen. Support and maintain adequate haemodynamics. For posology, incompatibilities and interactions, please refer to the full SPC. 1. Beaussier M, Decorps A, Tilleul P, et al.

This is a joint meeting between the Society of Anaesthetists of Hong Kong (SAHK) and the World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists (WFSA) whose objectives are to make available the highest standards of anaesthesia, pain treatment, trauma management and resuscitation to all peoples of the world. With this in mind, our organising committee has put together a comprehensive and clinically relevant programme that will update you on the latest standards and innovations in anaesthesia, pain medicine and intensive care. Lectures, industry symposia and workshops will encourage interaction between participants and en- sure, quite literally, something for everyone. The World Congress is the Olympics of the Anaesthesia world, keenly anticipated as it travels the globe and a wonderful occasion to bring all the international practitioners of our specialty together. Although our backgrounds and resources may be very different, we all face similar problems and challenges in providing the very best care to our patients. WCA is the preeminent Anaesthesia congress and only takes place every four years. The programme features 20 different scientific tracks organised by leaders in each field, together with symposia on Anaesthesia and Cancer, Obesity and Sleep Medicine and you can learn about Anaesthesia with Chinese characteristics with the Chinese Society of Anesthesiology. Our aim is to provide first-rate, global, scientific content that is also clinically relevant with a strong practical emphasis. I’m grateful to all those who have submitted the 800 scientific abstracts and hope you will enjoy and benefit from presentation and discussion with colleagues and peers in your field. Hong Kong is “Asia’s World City” - the most vibrant city in the world with a dynamic and fascinating history. A safe, cos- mopolitan and friendly place with excellent infrastructure, Hong Kong is strategically located in the heart of Asia. With so many things to see and do where “East meets West” you will be spoilt for choice with our superb and varied restaurants, excellent competitively priced hotels, shopping, beaches, country parks and natural beauty. If that is not enough, we have a social schedule with something for everyone. Join us for a networking evening in a relaxed atmosphere at the 100-year heritage building, Western Market, take a helicopter ride over the island or join a small group history lecture tour. Make the most of your visit to our unique city, you won’t be disappointed! (I only intended to be here for a year myself...in 1992).

Methods The guideline makes use of a systematic assessment and decision process using an evidence to decision framework (GRADE) as recommended standard WHO (2021). Recommendations are consented by an interdisciplinary panel. Evidence analysis and interpretation is supported by the CEOsys project providing extensive literature searches and living (meta-) analyses. For this executive summary, selected key recommendations on drug therapy are presented including the quality of the evidence and rationale for the level of recommendation. Results The guideline contains 11 key recommendations for COVID-19 drug therapy, eight of which are based on systematic review and/or meta-analysis, while three recommendations represent consensus expert opinion. Based on current evidence, the panel makes strong recommendations for corticosteroids (WHO scale 5–9) and prophylactic anticoagulation (all hospital- ized patients with COVID-19) as standard of care.

  • Oregano: the Genera Origanum and Lippia
    Part 5 Pharmacology © 2002 Taylor & Francis 8 The biological/pharmacological activity of the Origanum Genus Dea Bariˇceviˇc and Tomaˇz Bartol INTRODUCTION In the past, several classifications were made within the morphologically and chemically diverse Origanum (Lamiaceae family) genus. According to different taxonomists, this genus comprises a different number of sections, a wide range of species and subspecies or botanical varieties (Melegari et al., 1995; Kokkini, 1997). Respecting Ietswaart taxo- nomic revision (Tucker, 1986; Bernath, 1997) there exist as a whole 49 Origanum taxa within ten sections (Amaracus Bentham, Anatolicon Bentham, Brevifilamentum Ietswaart, Longitubus Ietswaart, Chilocalyx Ietswaart, Majorana Bentham, Campanulaticalyx Ietswaart, Elongatispica Ietswaart, Origanum Ietswaart, Prolaticorolla Ietswaart) the major- ity of which are distributed over the Mediterranean. Also, 17 hybrids between different species have been described, some of which are known only from artificial crosses (Kokkini, 1997). Very complex in their taxonomy, Origanum biotypes vary in respect of either the content of essential oil in the aerial parts of the plant or essential oil compos- ition. Essential oil ‘rich’ taxa with an essential oil content of more than 2 per cent (most commercially known oregano plants), is mainly characterised either by the domi- nant occurrence of carvacrol and/or thymol (together with considerable amounts of ␥-terpinene and p-cymene) or by linalool, terpinene-4-ol and sabinene hydrate as main components (Akgül and Bayrak, 1987; Tümen and Bas¸er, 1993; Kokkini, 1997). The Origanum species, which are rich in essential oils, have been used for thousands of years as spices and as local medicines in traditional medicine. The name hyssop (the Greek form of the Hebrew word ‘ezov’), that is called ‘za’atar’ in Arabic and origanum in Latin, was first mentioned in the Bible (Exodus 12: 22 description of the Passover ritual) (Fleisher and Fleisher, 1988).
