The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate whether a virtual reality based preparation method can efficiently decrease the proportion of children requiring general anesthesia during MRI examinations. Participants will take part in a virtual reality environment resembling an MRI before their scheduled MRI examination. Researchers will compare these children to usual care and a booklet based preparation method to see if less children need anesthesia for completing the MRI examination.
The objective of this proposal is to conduct a prospective randomized study comparing the utility of sedating patients undergoing transesophageal echocardiographic studies with a novel, recently-FDA-approved sedative agent, remimazolam, versus the sedative used in our current practice at UAB, propofol. This study will investigate whether remimazolam offers any benefit over current care vis-à-vis hemodynamics or efficiency/throughput. This study will be conducted at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. All outpatients and inpatients scheduled for elective/non-emergent TEE in the UAB Heart and Vascular Center TEE lab will be considered for enrollment.
Pain management in patients undergoing neurosurgery is a very important issue. The effectiveness of USG-guided scalp blocks for pain management in craniotomy surgery is currently not known. The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided scalp block when performed in patients who undergo supratentorial craniotomies.
The aim of our study is first to assess the effect of different PEEP levels on gastric volume using ultrasonography during induction of general anesthesia in children undergoing elective surgery
This is an observational, prospective, single-centre study that will focus on patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgery requiring invasive mechanical ventilation and invasive blood pressure monitoring Hypotheses: A positive TVC (tidal volume challenge) prior to the recruitment manoeuvre (RM) predicts a decrease in CI within 5 minutes of individualised PEEP establishment of at least 10%. 1. T0: Moment prior to the start of tidal volume challenge. Baseline values 2. T1: After tidal volume challenge, moment priorate the start of the recruitment manoeuvre (RM). Mostcare and ventilator values. From this moment on, the parameters obtained from Mostcare will be analysed continuously (minute by minute) until 15 minutes after establishing the individualised PEEP. 3. T2: At minute 5 of establishing individualised PEEP. All parameters derived from basic monitoring, Mostcare, and ventilator monitoring shall be monitored and recorded. Record whether any fluid bolus has been administered.
Purpose:The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of preoperative throat lozenge on pain relief in the postoperative period of the mucosal damage caused by intubation in patients who underwent operations in the head and neck region under general anesthesia. Methods: 60 patients were included in this study who were hospitalized in the inpatient service of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery department, This study was single-blind and performed by the same practitioner. Throat lozenge (strepsilis) was given to patients 30 minutes before the operation (the dissolution rate of the lozenge was proven to be 6-9 minutes).The postoperative sore throat was evaluated by VAS scale (0=no pain, 10=unbearable pain), and cough and hoarseness were evaluated with a four-point Likert scale (0=absent, 3=severe) at 1, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours.
Unintentional perioperative hypothermia is a common occurrence. One of the recommendations of the guidelines to prevent hypothermia is the use of active warmers. It is known that low-flow anesthesia protects from hypothermia compared to high-flow anesthesia. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of using active air blown heater and resistive heater in preventing hypothermia in patients with low flow and high flow inhalation anesthesia
Since its invention in 1981 by Dr. Archie Brain, the classical laryngeal mask airway (LMA ) has undergone many modifications. Today various LMAs are available that can also help in Ryle's tube insertion, intubation via LMA, deep extubation, adjunct in difficult airway and for spontaneous ventilation in short procedures. One of the newer modifications is the Blockbuster LMA. It was invented by Prof. Ming Tian, the president of Chinese Difficult Airway Society and is being increasingly used for cases of difficult intubation. It has some unique features like its 95 degrees angulated airway that makes it easier to insert. It also has a gastric port and provides better sealing pressures at lower volumes. However the one of the major concern with supraglottic airway is that despite correct placement it may dislodge, or its position may change intraoperatively especially in surgeries where patient position needs to be changed or patient is moved/transferred or head and neck surgeries. In this study investigator wishes to evaluate weather gastric tube inserted through LMA helps in maintaining the LMA blockbuster placement by comparing fibreoptic bronchoscope (FOB) scores recorded immediately after LMA placement and at the end of the surgical procedure.
In this study, we aimed to examine the association between personality traits and amount of anesthetic drug consumption,of the patients who will receive sedoanalgesia for the oocyte retrieval procedure. As well as determining the anxiety scores in the preoperative period, the time to reach the desired sedation level, hemodynamic parameters in the perioperative period, peripheral oxygen saturation, EtCO2 value, postoperative pain, postanesthetic recovery, analgesic drug need, unconscious movement, and patient satisfaction.
