Multimodal combined anesthesia potentiated with transcutaneous laser blood irradiation in geriatric patients

Abstract

General anesthesia was performed in 93 patients (57 women and 36 men) aged 60 - 94 with concomitant diseases, such as IHD, HD of stages 2,3, risk 3, post-infarction cardiosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, bronchial asthma, etc. Two techniques of general anesthesia were used in this work: multimodal combined anesthesia potentiated with transcutaneous laser blood irradiation (TLBI) (main group - 61 patient) and traditional total intravenous anesthesia (32 patients). While analyzing findings of central and peripheral hemodynamics monitoring and bispectral indexes, the researchers concluded that the technique of general multimodal combined anesthesia potentiated with TLBI significantly reduces pharmacological loading at operated patients and stabilizes hemodynamic parameters in geriatric patients.
