Lung resection is still the only potentially curative therapy for patients with localized non-small lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the presence of cardiovascular comorbidities and underlying lung disease increases the risk of postoperative complications. Various studies have evaluated the use of different preoperative tests in order to identify patients with an increased risk for postoperative c...

Intramuscular injection and intravenous are important routes of drug administration, which not only have a fast absorption rate, but also avoid the first pass effect drug. In 2009, Yangtze Pharmaceutical Group redeveloped Dezocine(13-Amino-5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12-octahydro-5-methyl-5,11-methanobenzocyclodecen-3-ol), molecular formula: C 16 H 23 NO, in form njection. Quickly, Dezocine becomes choice ...

In patients with respiratory pathology changes in respiratory physiology may lead to clinical problems during the conduct of anesthesia and the perioperative period. An understanding of the disease processes that can affect the lungs and pleura allows the anesthesiologist to account for the potential complications of these conditions and manage the anesthetic accordingly. This article describes...

The study by Hincker and colleagues indicated that the perioperative use of rotational thrombelastometry (ROTEM™) could predict thromboembolic events in 90% of the cases in non-cardiac surgery. Viscoelastic tests (VETs)--ROTEM™ and thrombelastography (TEG™)--are used mainly to predict bleeding complications. Most conventional coagulation tests, like prothrombin time and activated partial thromb...

Editor’s key points † Diabetes mellitus and other disorders of blood glucose regulation are common in perioperative patients. † The optimal management of perioperative dysglycaemia has been shown to improve perioperative outcomes. † Guidelines and recommendations aid in the diagnosis and management of perioperative abnormalities in glucose homeostasis. Summary. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes...

background: in this study, the early effects of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (pcnl) on glomerular filtration rate (gfr) was assessed in different postoperative times and likewise, we determined the correlation of different variables with significant postoperative gfr drop  after pcnl. m aterials and methods: patient records of 486 cases that had undergone pcnl from january 2010 to october 2011 ...

Background Hemostatic disorder and massive bleeding are common complications after cardiac surgery procedures, particularly in procedures requiring prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass. Conventional laboratory coagulation tests failed to predict hemostatic disorder and consequent proclivity to excessive bleeding. On the other hand there is evergrowing proportion of patients who need antiplatelet th...

EDITOR: Thromboelastograph (TEG) displays the viscokinetic properties [1] of the clot formed, which in turn reflects the functions of different factors involved in the coagulation process [2] and also the interaction between these factors. TEG is considered to be better than the conventional coagulation tests [3] and is becoming more popular among perioperative clinicians in managing coagulopat...

Conclusion Thus, measures of prevention and infection control can be implemented that are related to the rigor of the completion of the enema, ensure the conduct, preparation and guidance of patients for diagnostic tests and specialized (CT, MRI and colonoscopy) , fitness and education on pre-operative surgery and its consequences, evaluation of patient outcome and the surgical wound and hospit...

The development of perioperative acute renal failure is associated with a high incidence of morbidity and mortality. Although this incidence varies with different surgical procedures and with the definition used for renal failure, we now understand better the aetiology of the underlying problem. However, successful strategies to provide renal protection or strategies for 'rescue therapy' are ei...
