Filter by:The aim of this study was to observe the effect of transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (TAES) on postoperative heart rate variability and high-sensitive cardiac troponin T of elderly patients with coronary heart disease.
Evaluate the effects of propofol compared with desflurane on oxidative stress and inflammation markers in obese patients undergoing scheduled bariatric surgery.
This randomized double-blinded study is performed to compare ketamine versus lidocaine for nebulization for awake nasal fiberoptic intubation as regard efficacy and side effects.
Previous studies showed that the role of the anesthesiologist, their education and role within the hospital is not known by the general public. The lack of knowledge about anesthesia can be an important factor in patients' fear before the planned surgery and can therefore impact patient's general satisfaction. By means of a survey in patients planned for elective surgery, the investigators want to investigate the perception of patients regarding the anesthesiologist, their education and role within the hospital, the general knowledge of the patient regarding anesthesia and possible pre-operative fears and concerns.
The role of neuraxial anesthesia in preventing respiratory complications is a controversial in elderly patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the benefits of neuraxial anesthesia on pulmonary function during post-operative term in geriatric patients undergoing to elective non-abdominal surgery.
The purpose of this study is to compare between the addition of Mg sulphate or Nalbuphine to intraperitoneal bupivacaine installation in laparoscopic hysterectomy for postoperative pain control and their relative adverse effects.
Residency training includes positive and negative aspects. Well-trained doctors must be educated, but the process may bring additional risks to patients. Anesthesiologists' performance when conducting neuraxial anesthesia is related to their experience. We hypothesized that a modified neuraxial anesthesia method would improve both residency training and patient safety.
In the majority of patients, anxiety and fear are observed at different levels before surgery. Preoperative anxiety was reported in 60-80% of the patients who underwent surgery. This anxiety and fear can be attributed to many factors. Some of these are mainly anesthesia, previous experience of the patient, personality traits, concerns about surgical intervention, and postoperative pain. Patients' anxiety levels can be influenced by a variety of factors, including previous experience, type of hospital arrival, sex, age, and type of surgery.Anesthesia-related awareness among the experiences of anesthesia is described in the literature. In a study of 20,402 patients in the United States, the awareness rate was 0.13%. Being aware is that the patient is awake during the surgery and recalls seeing bad dreams. At that time the patient could not specify this because he was immobile. Being awake is that the patient is awake and showing it through his movements. The patient may not remember this situation later. It is a condition that can always be overlooked in previous experience, which is an important parameter of anxiety in the preoperative period. The patients included in the study were planned to use the modified Brice awareness score, first mentioned in 1970 as the name of the person who used the anesthesia and anesthesia for awareness. In this study, investigators aim to reveal the effect of anesthesia awareness on preoperative anxiety in patients with previous anesthesia story.
Fifty patients were included in the study, divided into two equal groups (25 in each), underwent spinal fusion surgery.Control group: received normal saline. Lidocaine group: received lidocaine 2.0 mg/kg slowly IV before induction of anesthesia, followed by lidocaine IV infusion at a rate of 2.5 mg/kg/hr until the end of surgery. We evaluated the end-tidal isoflurane concentration required to maintain AAI index in the range of 20-25 during adult spinal fusion surgery.
Regional anaesthesia is a frequently used procedure. Currently, blockades are increasingly carried out without nerve stimulation. The risk of nerve lesion is about 3 %. Industrial efforts frequently referred to ultrasound optimisation of the regional anaesthesia cannula. In order to optimise patient safety, the benefit of both procedures (stimulation and ultrasound) should be combined and both procedures optimised. In this study, the influence of the needle electrode size on the stimulability of the nerve ischiadicus should be determined.
