Filter by:The aim of this work to compare between the efficacy of ultrasound guided TAP block with dexamethasone as an adjuvant versus ultrasound guided TAPB with methyl prednisolone as an adjuvant to local anesthetic for postoperative pain management in lower abdominal hysterectomy procedures.
The aim of this study is to compare laparoscopic -assisted, ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block and laparoscopic intraperitoneal instillation of local anesthetic in pediatrics undergoing inguinal hernia repair.
This study aims to evaluate the ultrasonographic parameters (distance from skin to epiglottis (DSE) and distance from skin to vocal cords (DSVC)) as preoperative predictors of difficult laryngoscopy in non-suspected difficult airway patients undergoing elective surgery.
The goal of this observational study is to collect data in the form of ultrasound recordings from healthy volunteers, to aid the development of an Artificial Intelligence model that can identify ultrasound probe pressure.
The aim of this retrospective longitudinal study was to describe a key factor in the prenatal diagnosis of isolated cleft palate on the axial transverse view, in order to provide better understanding, detection and diagnosis of this anomaly.
Internal jugular vein cannulation can be performed with the blind technique under ultrasound (USG) guidance or using classical marker points. It has been shown that USG-guided interventions reduce the complication rate compared to the method performed with the blind technique (4%/13.5%). In addition, the initial entry success rate in the USG supported group is 65%. , this rate remained at 45% with the blind technique. Although Pleth variability index monitoring is a noninvasive method, it is a technique that consistently predicts fluid sensitivity in patients under mechanical ventilation. The aim of study is before applying USG guided catheterization; We think that by revealing the factors of the patient that are effective on the number of interventions, necessary measures can be taken for the success of catheterization as a result.
Conventionally, long-axis in-plane (LA-IP), short-axis out-of-plane (SA-OOP) and dynamic needle tip positioning based on SA-OOP views are commonly used method to image the target vessel during cannulation under US guidance. A modified SA-OOP that add developing line on the ultrasonic probe improve the success rate of cannula insertion into the radial artery on the first attempt.
The overarching aim of this study is to investigate whether a new educational point-of-care ultrasound course tailored for general practitioners working in office-based general practice can lead to scanning competence at the end of the training program (three months after baseline) and if scanning competence can be maintained six months after baseline.
Resuscitation of critically ill patients has changed since the advent of goal directed therapy. Today, practitioners providing fluid resuscitation are attentive of the danger associated with volume depletion while being aware of the morbidity of volume overload. Fluid resuscitation must be rapid, precise, and individually tailored to each patient based on reliable data obtained by various means inside ICU setting. There is no non-invasive method that can reliably and accurately identify fluid responsiveness. As such, in patients with undifferentiated shock, treatment often involves empiric fluid administration, in the hopes that volume expansion will increase preload, which will then serve to increase cardiac output (CO). However, for patients on the flat portion of the Starling curve, aggressive fluid administration results in no appreciable increase in CO and may be detrimental to hemodynamically unstable patients.
Contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasound (CE-IOUS) plays an increasingly important role in the surgical therapy planning of primary liver lesions as well as liver metastases. The present study was designed to evaluate the significance of CE-IOUS by specificity and sensitivity and particularly the impact it exerts on the surgical strategy. A secondary aim was assessing the outcome relevance of surgeries influenced by CE-IOUS.
