Background/Aim. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and serious complication after aortic surgery, which increases the length of hospital stay, costs, morbidity, mortality. The aim study was to investigate incidence AKI most important preoperative intraoperative predictive factors for 72 hrs elective infrarenal surgery (IAS). Methods. This prospective observational performed at Clinic Anest...

Purpose: To determine whether the changes in the ocular alignment following general anesthesia, maintained with two different inhalational anesthetic agents, sevoflurane and desflurane, can be used as a predictor for surgical outcomes in children with esotropia. Methods: The authors obtained digital photographs of 42 children with esotropia; 21 patients underwent strabismus surgery with general...

Aim: To determine whether preoperative use of the highly cyclooxygenase-2-specific inhibitor rofecoxib combined with spinal anesthesia offers superior postoperative analgesia compared to spinal anesthesia alone. Methods: Single-centre, randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, including 40 adult patients undergoing elective open inguinal hernia repair. Both the control (n=20) and tr...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is risk factor for complications after orthopedic surgery. OBJECTIVES We tested the hypothesis that anesthesia preoperative clinic (APC) referral for elevated glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduces complication rate after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients (n = 203) with and without DM were chosen from 1,237 patients undergoing T...

Objective: The main objective of this study was to compare the effects minimal and high gas flow-controlled hypotension applications on IMA thiol/disulfide balance, which are indicators oxidative stress.Methods: Patients undergoing elective tympanoplasty were randomized two groups as minimal-flow high-flow anesthesia groups. Minimal flow performed with 5L/min fresh reduced 0.4 L/min. High admin...

BACKGROUND Children and parents experience significant anxiety and distress during the preoperative period. Currently available interventions are having limited efficacy. Based on an integration of the literature in both the anesthesia and psychological milieus, the authors developed a behaviorally oriented perioperative preparation program for children undergoing surgery that targets the famil...
