The real public health risk is the routine practice of anesthesia over medication and post anesthesia dementia. Without widespread use of brain monitors for 'going under,' 99.9% of all patients are exposed to the risk of anesthesia over medication. (PRWeb Feb 9, 2010)

Routine anesthesia over medication is a common practice without brain monitoring. Why does the ASA appear to continue to resist calling for routine brain monitoring to avoid over medication, especially for seniors whose brains are more susceptible to those effects? Big Pharma millions appear to preclude ASA advocating greater patient safety. (PRWeb Feb 2, 2010)

Office-based anesthesia (OBA) presents a unique problem set for anesthesiologists to solve. Patients must wake up quickly and able to go home pain, nausea and vomiting free. “Propofol ketamine or PK anesthesia is a powerful solution that has set a higher standard of care for patient safety in outpatient surgery,” says Dr. F. Don Parsa, Chief of University of Hawaii plastic surgery. (PRWeb Jan 19, 2010)

Brain monitoring of Jackson's propofol could have saved his life despite the other drugs in his body. For the second consecutive year, propofol expert, Dr. Barry Friedberg will address the annual Congress of Mexican Anesthesiologists, this year in Veracruz, Mexico. Also, an expert on brain monitoring of propofol, Friedberg will lecture on how to increase its usefulness with his internationally acclaimed PK (or propofol ketamine) anesthesia. Unlike general anesthesia, PK anesthesia has had no deaths since its inception in 1992. (PRWeb Nov 17, 2009)

With a 'facelift' for the 21st century, Dr. Barry Friedberg's Cosmetic Surgery Anesthesia web site continues to showcase PK anesthesia. Everything the cosmetic surgery patient typically wants from general anesthesia without the lethal risks or unpleasant side effects is provided by PK anesthesia. Brain monitoring de-mystified for the public. Friedberg's Triad revisited. (PRWeb Oct 6, 2009)

Dr. Barry Friedberg can say, 1) brain monitoring of propofol may not be common, but it absolutely needs to be; 2) the unorthodox use of propofol on Michael Jackson demanded the safest of care; 3) propofol for sleep is not the medically approved use of the drug; 4) practicing 'outside the box' absolutely demands the use of a brain monitor to measure propofol effect; 5) Jackson would certainly be alive today if his propofol had been measured with a brain monitor. It's a no-brainer. 6) Propofol demands the use of the most basic safety monitor, a pulse oximeter. Otherwise, it's reckless disregard.

Dr. Barry Friedberg, developer of PK, propofol ketamine anesthesia, was cited in the August 10th issue of People Magazine as an anesthesia expert who stated that propofol is extremely safe if a brain monitor is used. Michael Jackson would probably still be alive had this type of monitor been used, says Friedberg. (PRWeb Aug 4, 2009)

Most healthy patients can safely breathe room air without supplemental oxygen when getting propofol sedation if they have brain monitoring, says Dr. Barry Friedberg, developer of PK anesthesia. The huge, 19-fold variation in propofol detox between patients is why most anesthesia providers routinely give oxygen. Twelve years experience with custom PK anesthesia using a brain monitor has eliminated routine oxygen administration in most healthy patients for intravenous (IV) sedation. Friedberg's Triad unveiled. (PRWeb Jul 14, 2009)

Before now, patients' number one anesthesia satisfaction issue never had an entire chapter dedicated to this persistent, unpleasant side effect of general anesthesia -- postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Dr. Christian Apfel, the world's foremost PONV expert, cites PK anesthesia as a non-PONV technique in the latest Miller's 'Anesthesia,' top anesthesia textbook. (PRWeb Jun 9, 2009)
