Thiopentone Dosage Based on Lean Body Mass

Effects of Acute and 2-Hour Postphysical Activity on the Estimation of Body Fat Made by the Bod Pod

“…These measures can be detrimental to the athlete's health , and may limit their overall performance by decreasing muscular strength (Ftaiti, Grelot, Coudreuse, & Nicol, 2001), performance time in aerobic activities (Stohr et al, 2011), and in some instances, may be fatal (Centers for Disease Control and Body composition is also important to the general population. It can be used in the assessment of malnutrition , and the administration of drug dosages (Wulfsohn & Joshi, 1969).…”

“…Body composition research is divided into three interconnected areas: the organizational rules that guide the different levels of body composition, their measurement techniques, and biological factors that influence body composition (Wang, Heshka, Pierson Jr., & Heymsfield, 1995). Body composition can be used to assess diet quality , disease status , nutrition and its effects on disease (Lane, Magnon, Lane, Chan, Hoyt, & Greenfield, 2008), athletic performance , weight-sensitive sports Brito, Martins-Roas, Brito, Marins, Cordova, & Franchini, 2012), malnutrition , the administration of drug dosages (Wulfsohn & Joshi, 1969), and muscle and bone atrophy during prolonged periods of immobilisation or bed rest.…”

Review of pharmacokinetic models for target controlled infusions in anesthesia

“…The common practice of reducing weight adjusted dose in obese patients is supported by studies that have shown a good correlation between dose requirements and LBM for propofol, 9 thiopentone, 10 and atracurium. 11 Egan et al 12 showed that remifentanil pharmacokinetics in obese and non-obese showed significantly higher doses of remifentanil in obese patients if doses were calculated based on actual body weight.…”

Study of urinary excretion of butobarbitone in man in relation to the percentage of ideal body weight.

“…The recognized role of lipidsolubility in the fate of barbiturates has led to search for what might be the influence of body weight on the dosage of barbiturates used in anethesiology (Dundee, 1954;Wulfsohn & Joshi, 1969, 1974 Saunders (1974), Gilbert & Powell (1974) and Grove, Toseland, Draffan, Clare & Williams (1974) At 21.00 h on the first day of the study the subjects received two tablets, each containing 100 mg butobarbitone. Venous blood samples were obtained prior to medication and at 07.00 h the next day and the day after.…”
