Filter by:Background and Aim: Pediatric gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is an increasingly common procedure performed to investigate and diagnose problems in the GI tract in children. Procedures in pediatric endoscopy units are routinely performed under sedation and general anesthesia, unlike adult endoscopy. Nurses working in pediatric gastroenoscopy units where sedoanalgesia is applied have important duties and responsibilities in terms of quality standards in preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative periods. Considering the increasing need for high-quality pediatric endoscopy applications, the attitudes and behaviors of nurses about sedation in pediatric patients are important as a member of the team. There is almost no literature on the experience and awareness of pediatric endoscopy nurses in clinical practice, and this encourages our team to conduct a survey across our country and to develop knowledge and clinical practices. With this questionnaire survey, it was aimed to evaluate the experience and attitudes of the endoscopy nurses working in the pediatric endoscopy unit in our country on sedation/general anesthesia management for pediatric patients
Awareness during general anesthesia - that has an incidence between 0.1% and 0.9% of cases and may be more in elderly - remains a concern for anesthesiologists. Awareness experiences range from isolated auditory perceptions to reports of a patient being fully awake, immobilized, and in pain. The isolated forearm technique allows assessment of consciousness of the external world (connected consciousness) through a verbal command to move the hand (of a tourniquet-isolated arm) during intended general anesthesia.
The study aimed to retrospectively review cases of brain arteriovenous malformation that were surgical resected with the patient awake during the procedure.
Age has been related to awakening propofol concentration at effector site of TCI, but not to the loss of consciousness concentration, neither to the concentration of body movements during surgery, that can be interpreted as a sign of light anesthesia and lead to awareness. This study aims to determinate the incidence and the propofol TCI concentration at the effector site, in patients undergoing general anaesthesia without NBDs, of any patients body movements, defined as any spontaneous movements (but no reflex movements) during surgery.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the validity of perfusion index to determine the level of anesthesia in comparison with auditory evoked potential in children undergoing tonsillectomy.
