BACKGROUND [Corrected] Clinical assessment is not always sufficient to predict postoperative (PO) cardiac complications. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) has an important prognostic value in patients with heart failure. Its value as a predictor of events in orthopedic surgeries has not yet been tested. OBJECTIVE To assess the value of BNP in predicting cardiac complications in the PO period o...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA) for upper limb surgeries with traditional high dose of lidocaine can lead to life threatening side effects. In order to avoid these potential life threatening side effects, many modified techniques of IVRA have been attempted by using a low dose of lidocaine, muscle relaxant and opioid. METHOD The present study is carried out in ...

Background: The incidence of placement of osteosynthetic materials has grown worldwide. Bioabsorbable materials are more commonly used now days in Orthopedic surgeries. Implants modify the risk of infection by bacterial adhesion, tissue integration, and immunomodulation. Bacterial adhesion to implant leads to interaction between bacteria and implant. Aim: To evaluate the incidence of infections...

Background: The duration of surgery in orthopedic surgeries is often longer than one hour. Therefore, these patients are at further risk complications induced by general anesthesia. present study aimed to determine the prevalence anesthesia and its related factors. Methods: This cross-sectional was performed on 400 undergoing Shahid Beheshti Hospital Kashan Province, Iran, 2020. subjects were r...

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), comprising pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), poses a significant risk during after hospitalization, particularly for surgical patients. Among various patient groups, those undergoing major orthopedic surgeries are considered to have higher susceptibility PE DVT. Major lower-extremity procedures carry of symptomatic VTE compared most other surg...
