[Comparison of intraoperative and postoperative analgesic properties of ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric and sacral epidural block in pediatric unilateral inguinal hernia operations].

Objectives: Central blocks such as caudal, spinal, and sacral epidural are frequently used in pediatric inguinal surgeries. Furthermore, peripheral blocks have been used and successful results have been obtained in pediatric inguinal surgeries. In this study, we aimed to compare the intraoperative and postoperative analgesic efficacy of the ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric (IL/IH) block under general anesthesia with the sacral epidural block.

Anaesthetic Management in Successive Spinal Surgeries During Pregnancy and Postpartum.

In this case report, we present a parturient with spinal tumour who required neurosurgery before and after caesarean delivery under general anaesthesia. A 25-year-old woman at 30 weeks of gestation and suffering from bilateral lower-limb weakness and sensory deficit due to spinal tumour underwent emergent laminectomy and decompression surgery under general anaesthesia. In this case, total intravenous anaesthesia was used.

Neurolysis for Treatment of Infraorbital Neuropathy.

Two patients, a woman aged 34 and a man aged 56, were included in the study. They reported the existence of pain in the areas of the infraorbital nerve, which, over the last four to five years, aggravated by the stimuli of eating, laughing, and being touched. 2 ml of 0.

The extent of blockade following axillary and infraclavicular approaches of brachial plexus block in uremic patients.

Introduction: This study was aimed to compare the axillary approach performed through multiple injection method and vertical infraclavicular approach performed through single injection method in terms of the sensory and motor block onset, quality, and extent of blocks of brachial plexus in uremic patients who underwent arteriovenous fistula surgery.

Methods: Forty patients scheduled for creation of arteriovenous fistula with axillary brachial plexus block (group AX, n = 20) or infraclavicular brachial plexus block (IC group, n = 20) were examined. The median, radial, ulnar, and musculocutaneous nerves were selectively localized by nerve stimulation.

Target-controlled infusion of remifentanil with propofol or desflurane under bispectral index guidance: quality of anesthesia and recovery profile.

Background: Our objective was to examine the clinical properties of two anesthetic regimens, propofol target-controlled infusion (TCI), or desflurane using remifentanil TCI under bispectral index (BIS) guidance during ear, nose, and throat (ENT) procedures.

Methods: FORTY CONSENTING PATIENTS WHO SCHEDULED FOR ENT PROCEDURES WERE PROSPECTIVELY STUDIED AND WERE INCLUDED IN ONE OF THE TWO GROUPS: TCI group or desflurane (DES) group. General anesthesia was induced with 3 ng mL(-1) and 4 μg mL(-1) effect site concentrations (Ce) of remifentanil and propofol, respectively, with TCI system.

Anaesthesia for caesarean section in the presence of multivalvular heart disease and severe pulmonary hypertension: a case report.

Introduction: Pulmonary hypertension is a rare condition and in combination with pregnancy, it can result in high maternal mortality. Mitral stenosis is one of the complicated cardiac diseases that may occur during pregnancy. In this report, we describe our management of such a case, which was even more difficult in combination with pulmonary hypertension, mitral stenosis, and aortic and tricuspid valve insufficiency requiring emergency caesarean section under general anaesthesia.

Malposition of subclavian vein catheter inserted through indirect technique in a pediatric liver transplantation: a case report.

Introduction: Clinicians use either direct or indirect (Seldinger) techniques for internal juguler or subclavian vein catheterization. This report aims to point out that the success rate of the direct technique where the catheter is inserted directly through the cannula may be higher particularly in catheterization of pediatric cases.

Case Presentation: A 7.

Anesthetic management of caesarean section of a pregnant woman with cerebral arteriovenous malformation: a case report.

Introduction: The choice of anesthetic technique for Caesarean section of a pregnant woman with cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is made to maintain a stable cardiovascular system, but due to the rarity of this condition, no definitive guidelines exist.

Case Presentation: We report the case of anesthetic management of Caesarean section of a pregnant woman with cerebral AVM (grade V). After the diagnosis, the radiologists decided to perform angiography and endovascular operation for treatment after the termination of pregnancy.

Clinical approach to graft hepatic artery thrombosis following living related liver transplantation.

Hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) has an occurrence rate of 1.7-26% following living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and is one of the most common reasons for graft loss and mortality in this population. There is a higher incidence of HAT in pediatric recipients.

Alcohol neurolysis for persistent pain caused by superior cluneal nerves injury after iliac crest bone graft harvesting in orthopedic surgery: report of four cases and review of the literature.

Study Design: Harvesting of autologous bone graft from the posterior iliac crest for lumbar spinal fusions is a frequently performed procedure in orthopedic surgery. The most common complication associated with this procedure is an alteration in sensation over the donor site manifested as chronic pain, hyperesthesia, dysesthesia, or diminished sensitivity resulting from superior cluneal nerve (SCN) injury.

Objective: To predict the effectiveness of alcohol neurolysis in the treatment of persistent pain caused by the entrapment of superior cluneal nerves.
