The Assessment of Immediate Postoperative Delirium in Neurologically Intact Adult Patients Admitted to the Post-anesthesia Care Unit: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background Immediate postoperative delirium (IPD) in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) can cause significant morbidity affecting everyday activities and length of stay with cost implications. This study was undertaken to find the proportion of IPD in PACU and its association with anesthesia and other perioperative factors. Methods After obtaining ethical approval and informed consent, this cross-sectional study was conducted in the PACU.

Effect of Using Ringer's Lactate, with and without Addition of Dextrose, on Intra-Operative Blood Sugar Levels in Infants Undergoing Facial Cleft Surgeries.

Background: Addition of glucose in the intraoperative fluid is a routine practice in infants. Under general anesthesia, due to neuroendocrine stress response, this could result in overt hyperglycemia.

Aims: The aim of this study was to find whether the addition of 2% dextrose to Ringer's lactate (RL) caused hyperglycemia compared to no addition of dextrose to RL.
