Incidence of postoperative nausea and emetic episodes after xenon anaesthesia compared with propofol-based anaesthesia (2008)

Coburn, M., Kunitz, O., Apfel, C. C., Hein, M., Fries, M., Rossaint, R.

Background Xenon has been proved to be safe and efficacious for general anaesthesia in numerous trials. In addition, experimental studies demonstrate that xenon inhibits the 5-hydroxytryptamine type...

Emergence and early cognitive function in the elderly after xenon or desflurane anaesthesia: a double-blinded randomized controlled trial (2007)

Coburn, M., Roertgen, D., Thiel, V., Fries, M., Hein, M., ...

Background Postoperative cognitive impairment after general anaesthesia, especially in the elderly, is a well-recognized problem. Xenon, known to be an N-methyl-d-aspartate antagonist, may be...

Influence of a 30-min break on divided attention and working memory in resident anaesthetists on daily routine (2006)

Coburn, M., Henzler, D., Fimm, B., Drüke, B., Rossaint, R.

Background. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that a standard 30-min break in a routine 7.5 h period of work makes a difference in cognitive function. Methods. In a double-blinded,...

Randomized controlled trial of the haemodynamic and recovery effects of xenon or propofol anaesthesia (2005)

Coburn, M., Kunitz, O., Hecker, K., Haaf, S., Zühlsdorff, A., ...

Background. There is limited clinical experience with xenon in a large number of patients. We present intra- and postoperative haemodynamic and recovery data comparing xenon and total intravenous...

Total thyroidectomy does not enhance disease control or survival even in high-risk patients with differentiated thyroid cancer.

Wanebo, H, Coburn, M, Teates, D, Cole, B

SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: The extent of primary thyroidectomy for differentiated thyroid cancer is controversial. There are strong proponents for total thyroidectomy based on its presumed and...

Recurrent thyroid cancer. Role of surgery versus radioactive iodine (I131)

Coburn, M, Teates, D, Wanebo, H J

OBJECTIVE: This retrospective study compared treatment and survival of patients with recurrent well-differentiated thyroid cancer that was diagnosed exclusively by I131 scanning, or by clinical...
