Filter by:The investigators research was designed as a single-center, prospective, randomized study. The patients undergoing knee artrhroplasty surgery in Istanbul University Istanbul Medicine Faculty Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology will be included. Patients who are legally authorized to make decisions on their behalf will be informed about the research and their written consent will be obtained. Patients who do not give consent will not be included in the study. Patients will be given US guided IPACK and adductor blocks using a 22 gauge 10 mm block needle after compliance with the rules of asepsia and antisepsis in the supine position according to the group of patients in which they were included. IPACK and adductor block will be done for postoperative analgesia. After then, a single dose of spinal anesthesia will be applied as a regional anesthesia method, in a sitting position, using the appropriate spinal needle, as is routinely applied in the investigators clinic. After the block is completed, the pinprick test will be done and the operation will be started after the successful completion of the block is confirmed. Oxygen will be given to the patients with a face mask at 4 lt / min throughout the operation. ECG, saturation, invasive / noninvasive blood pressure monitoring of the patients will be done. In the investigators clinic, the use of IPACK block, adductor block and PCA (patient controlled analgesia) device with intravenous morphine for postoperative analgesia is routinely performed. In this study, four randomized groups will be formed together with the control group. IPACK block will be applied to the 1st group with 10 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine, to the 2nd group with 15 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine, and to the 3rd group with 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine.Adductor block will be applied to all the groups with 15 ml %0,25 bupivacaine and PCA (patient controlled analgesia) device with intravenous morphine for postoperative analgesia is performed. Pain score and total morphine consumption will be determined by numeric rating scale (NRS) at the postoperative 1, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48th hours by providing the use of a PCA device with intravenous morphine applied in routine practice to all four groups. As in routine practice, when NRS > 4 after each interrogation, morphine 2 mg iv will be administered as additional analgesia and the maximum will be increased to 10 mg. Pain management will continue when NRS < 4.
In obese patients, adequate pain relief in the postoperative period is an important parameter that affects patient comfort and hospital stay. Increasing patient comfort and recovery quality can be achieved by avoiding undesirable effects such as nausea, vomiting, and analgesia. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Bilateral External Oblique Intercostal Block (EOIB) and Perichondrial Modified Thoracoabdominal Nerve Block (M-TAPA) on postoperative acute pain scores (0-24 hours) and 24-hour opioid consumption in patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
The aim of our study is to determine the predictive value of pre-anesthesia FTc for hypotension that may develop after general anesthesia induction in patients over 65 years of age and to investigate the correlation between pre-anesthesia FTc and the magnitude of the maximum decrease in systolic blood pressure from the pre-anaesthetic value.
Induction of general anesthesia requires to be safe and to ensure a proper level of anesthesia. A proper anesthesia is sufficient to guarantee loss of consciousness and amnesia and without being too depth leading to a electroencephalogram (EEG) with burst suppression. The depth of anesthesia is monitored by the bispectral index analyse of the EEG, this allows to detect any under- or over-dose of anesthesia. The monitoring works with an unknown algorithm (patent), which evaluate the state of consciousness in the patient. Etomidate and propofol are commonly use to ensure general anesthesia. Actually, really few litterature has objective informations about the monitoring of Etomidate. The few existant are the old ones and has just a clinical evaluation of the depth of anesthesia (loss of consciousness, loss of breathing, loss of palpebral reflex). Except the fact that these clinical evaluations come from the brain stem, and in fact are not reliable to assess the cortical activity which is reduced by etomidate. Therefore, some anesthetists are fearful that etomidate is not sufficient to ensure a proper anesthesia to intubate the patient. This interventionnal study has two purpose. Firstly, a survey will be conduct about the habits and beliefs when use of etomidate. Secondly, a prospective study will be conduct to monitore with the bispectral index the depth and duration of anesthesia with etomidate.
In this clinical proof-of-concept study, the aim is to investigate the efficacy of a hypotension avoidance strategy to prevent post-induction hypotension. Specifically, it will be investigate how much postinduction hypotension occurs when using a hypotension avoidance strategy - combining continuous intraarterial blood pressure monitoring, careful administration of anesthetic drugs, and continuous administration of norepinephrine to treat hypotension - in high-risk patients having elective non-cardiac surgery.
The goal of this randomised cross-over study is to compare pre-oxygenation using a standard nasal cannula to pre-oxygenation using humidified high-flow nasal oxygen and a tight-fitting facemask in adult volunteers with a BMI below 30 not suffering from pulmonary or cardiac comorbidity. The main question it aims to answer is: - Are there any differences in the effectiveness of pre-oxygenation using a standard nasal cannula compared to using a traditional facemask and pre-oxygenation using humidified high-flow nasal oxygen? Participants will be pre-oxygenated with 100% oxygen during four minutes intervals. All participants will be pre-oxygenated with various flow rates using a standard nasal cannula, a facemask and humidified high-flow nasal oxygen. End-tidal oxygen concentrations will be measured continuously in order to evaluate the effectiveness of pre-oxygenation. Each volunteer will be pre-oxygenated repeatedly, with different flow rates, with all three methods of pre-oxygenation and act as its own control. During facemask pre-oxygenation volunteers will be pre-oxygenated using both tidal volume breathing for four minutes and with eight vital capacity breaths. During pre-oxygenation using the standard nasal cannula flow rates will vary between 15 and 50 l/min. Pre-oxygenation using humidified high-flow nasal oxygen will be performed with flow rates varying between 30 and 50 l/min. Series will be conducted with volunteers breathing with both opened and closed mouth as well as with four minutes of tidal volume breathing and eight vital capacity breaths. All volunteers will start with facemask pre-oxygenation. They will thereafter be randomised to pre-oxygenation with either a standard nasal cannula or humidified high-flow nasal oxygen. Lastly, they will be pre-oxygenated with the remaining method according to the randomisation.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of obesity on changes in microvascular reactivity and tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) during general anesthesia using near-infrared spectroscopy in conjunction with vascular occlusion tests (VOT). For this prospective observation investigation, a total of 128 patients who underwent elective surgery under general anesthesia at Pusan National University Hospital between June 2018 and February 2021 were participated in this study. Baseline StO2 on thenar eminence, hemodynamics, and laboratory profile were monitored before (Tpre) and 30 min after general anesthesia (Tpost). During vascular occlusion tests (VOT), the occlusion slope representing oxygen consumption of muscle and recovery slope representing microvascular reactivity were also collected at Tpre and Tpost. For analysis, the patients were divided into two groups: overweight (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 25 kg/m2) and normal weight (BMI < 25).
Effective postoperative pain management is essential for patient satisfaction and therefore intraoperative regional nerve blocks have become more and more popular in abdominoplasties. However, the key disadvantage of these blocks are their limited duration of action. This observational study evaluates the effects of a longer- lasting, individualized epidural analgesia using a pain pump to better classify the clinical value of this procedure.
In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effects of anterior quadratus lumborum block (QLB3) and Erector Spina Plane Block (ESPB) on postoperative acute pain scores and opioid consumption in the first 24 hours in Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Surgery
The goal of this survey will be to assess the opinions and reticence of patients who have undergone surgical procedures that required the usage of general anesthesia both before they underwent the procedure and afterwards.
