Does wakeful response to command indicate memory potential during emergence from general anesthesia?
We conclude that a brief wakeful response to command indicates that a patient is unlikely to form memories, while a sustained wakeful response indicates that a patient may form memories. Thus, a patient's wakeful response to command could be a useful indicator of potential for memory.
Radical esophagectomy results in superior overall and stage-specific 5-year survival rates. Extensive node dissection has a positive impact on survival rates, particularly in patients with nodal metastases.
