Objective To evaluate the degree of postoperative pain in patients with necrotic teeth symptomatic apical periodontitis after applying ultrasonic irrigation or manual dynamic agitation.
 Methods Seventy-eight diagnosed mandibular first molar were randomly allocated into 1 3 separate groups (n=26); Manual Dynamic Agitation group, Ultra X NaviTip group (control). After a single-visit root ca...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence, severity and variables influencing postoperative pain and other sequelae in children undergoing dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia. METHODS Healthy children scheduled for dental rehabilitation having treatment on only primary teeth were included in the study. General anesthesia protocol was standardized, and patien...

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has been known to be a stressful event for patients, and dexmedetomidine is known to attenuate surgery-induced sympathetic responses and potentiate analgesia in perioperative periods. The present was designed to evaluate the effects of intraoperative dexmedetomidine administration on the quality of recovery (QoR) and pulmonary function after VATS. Pat...

AIM This study was conducted to examine perioperative cerebral oximetry changes in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture repair and evaluate the correlation between regional oxygen saturation (rSO(2)) values, postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and hospital stay. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective observational study included 69 patients. Data recorded included demographic infor...

Introduction Though postoperative excitement has been a feature of general anesthesia since before the development of most of our modern inhalational anesthetics, the number of studies examining the incidence of postoperative agitation has increased exponentially since the introduction of the poorly soluble inhalation agents sevoflurane and desflurane into routine anesthesia practice. Eckenhoff...

Background: Pre-anesthetic medication is often required in children to provide anxiolysis and to lessen the psychological impact of hospitalization and procedures. In this study, we compared the effects of intravenous ketamine versus thiopental on the separation anxiety and emergence agitation in children undergoing tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy. Methods: Eighty-two children aged 2-8 years schedu...

BACKGROUND This randomized, double-blind study tested the hypothesis that, in comparison with midazolam, premedication with oral clonidine reduces the incidence of emergence agitation in preschool children anaesthetized with sevoflurane. METHODS Sixty-eight ASA I-II children undergoing circumcision were randomized into three groups to receive different oral premedication given 30 min before a...

OBJECTIVES The trail investigated the effect of small dose sufentanil or fentanyl administrated before the end of surgery in reducing the incidence of emergence agitation after anesthesia with sevoflurane in preschool children undergoing ophthalmology surgery, and the incidence of emergence agitation of sevoflurane anesthesia. METHODS From September 2011 to January 2012 January, ninety ASA I-...

Background  Multiple procedures (Lumbar puncture and bone marrow aspiration /biopsy) cause pain, stress, depression and etc for the patients and their families. Various methods have been recommended for pain reduction during invasive procedures. The aim of this study is to report the complications following general anesthesia. Methods In this prospective observational study, two hundred and ...
