Evaluation of gastroesophageal reflux in pediatric laparoscopic appendectomy procedures.

Background: The increased intra-abdominal pressure during laparoscopic surgical procedures was reported to be a factor in the development of gastroesophageal reflux. This study evaluated the presence of gastroesophageal reflux and associated factors using 24-h pH monitoring in children undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy.

Methods: Children who underwent laparoscopic surgery for presumed acute appendicitis between June 2017 and June 2018 were included in the study.

The assessment of risk factors associated with difficult intubation as endocrine, musculoskeletal diseases and intraoral cavity mass: A nested case control study.

Background: The predictive factors of difficult airway have been studied to reduce especially the incidence of unanticipating difficult intubation, provide patient safety, and avoid wasting resources. In this study, it was aimed to investigate whether endocrine, musculoskeletal diseases, presence of intraoral mass, and demographic factors have predictive values in the evaluation of difficult air-way as well as frequently used airway assessment tests.

Methods: This study was designed a nested-case control study.

Evaluation of Anxiety, Depression, and Work-Related Strain Inventory of Code Blue Teams in Turkey During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Survey Study.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the anxiety, depression, and work-related strain inventory with a cross-sectional electronic questionnaire in code blue teams during the coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic in Turkey.

Methods: A web-based electronic questionnaire was sent to healthcare workers registered in the database of the Turkish Society of Anaesthesiology and Reanimation and the Turkish Resuscitation Council who are in the code blue teams of the hospital where they work. An electronic questionnaire including the hospital anxiety-depression scale and the work-related strain inventory was sent to healthcare professionals.

Intraoperative pectoral block versus thoracic paravertebral block for postoperative analgesia after breast cancer surgery: A randomized controlled trial.

Background And Methods: With the increasing rate of breast cancer surgery, the pain management of these patients gains importance. The aim of this study is to compare the ultrasound (US) guided thoracic paravertebral block (TPV) versus intraoperative pectoral nerve block (PECS) with a low volume local anaesthetic for postoperative analgesia after breast cancer surgery. A total of 41 patients underwent mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy or modified radical mastectomy were included in this randomized controlled, single-blinded trial.

Evaluation of Gastroesophageal Reflux in Children as a Risk for Post-operative Nausea and Vomiting: An Observational Study.

Unlabelled: 1Background: Anaesthesia is known to reduce gastric emptying and motility, which can cause gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in some patients. Monitoring pH is a reliable method for detecting reflux. In this study, we aimed to show whether GER is a risk factor for post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) with oesophageal reflux measures in paediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy.

Evaluation of Nurses' Approaches to Deteriorating Patients: Survey Study.

Objective: Prevention of cardiopulmonary arrest in hospitalised patients is the first and most important step in the life-saving chain. When the condition of the inpatients is worsened, nurses are usually the first to see and evaluate the patient. The aim of this study was to evaluate the attitudes of the nurses working at the Mersin University Hospital, during their routine follow-up to the deteriorating patients and the early warning scoring (EWS) awareness.

The effect of ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block in addition to intrathecal morphine on early postoperative period after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of serratus anterior plane block in addition to intrathecal morphine for early postoperative period after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery on the amount of morphine consumption and the Visual Analog Scale scores.

Methods: This single-blind, randomized-controlled study included a total of 64 patients (39 males, 25 females; mean age: 53.6±17.

Association between acute kidney injury and mortality after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a retrospective observational study.

Background And Objectives: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) affect mortality and morbidity in critically ill patients. There have been few studies examining the prevalence of AKI and mortality after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In the present study, we investigated the association between AKI and mortality in post-cardiac arrest patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Peri-operative blood transfusion in elective major surgery: incidence, indications and outcome - an observational multicentre study.

Background: Patients' demographic and epidemiological characteristics, local variations in clinicians' knowledge and experience and types of surgery can influence peri-operative transfusion practices. Sharing data on transfusion practices and recipients may improve patients' care and implementation of Patient Blood Management (PBM).

Materials And Methods: This was a multicentre, prospective, observational, cross-sectional study that included 61 centres.

Evaluation of Perioperative Ventilation Strategies: National Survey Study.

Objective: Lung injury can develop in the perioperative period due to ventilation management techniques. Thus, the attitude of anaesthetists on protective ventilation (PV) practice comes into question. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the perioperative ventilation practice of anaesthetists and trainees on anaesthesiology by a survey study.

Patients', who applied to the anesthesia clinic, perceptions and knowledge about anesthesia in Türkiye.

Background: Pre-operative evaluation includes determining the patient's physiological and psychological situation, taking information about pharmacological and therapeutic history, laboratory examinations, and identifying the anesthesia risks. The aim of this study is to learn the patients', who planned for elective surgery, knowledge and perception about anesthesia, to determine the causes of fears, to investigate whether age, gender, education level, and history of operation affect the outcome of the survey.

Methods: A questionnaire consisting of 21 questions was asked to fill by the patients who applied to the anesthesia clinic.
