Evaluation of anthropometric measurements and clinical tests in the diagnosis of difficult airway in patients undergoing head and neck surgery.

Background: The aim of this study is to research the incidence of difficult airways and the effectiveness of anthropometric measurements and clinical tests used to predict difficult airways in patients undergoing head and neck surgery.

Methods: This study was performed on a total of 200 patients over the age of 18 who underwent head and neck surgery between December 2019 and March 2020. The demographic data of the patients in the preoperative period, previous operations/ radiotherapy history applied to the head and neck region, and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome symptoms were recorded.

The Effects of Different Pressure Pneumoperitoneum Models Created By Standard or Heated-Humidified CO Insufflation on Ovary and Peritoneum: an Experimental Study in Rats.

There is still controversy over whether structural and morphological changes can be observed in tissues depending on the carbon dioxide (CO) nature or the applied intra-abdominal pressures (IAP). This study aimed to investigate the effects of different pressure or CO nature used for pneumoperitoneum in gynecological laparoscopic surgery on inflammation, DNA damage, oxidative stress, and histopathological changes in ovarian and peritoneal tissue. For this purpose, forty female rats were randomly divided into 6 groups and different pneumoperitoneum models were created in these groups.

The effects of CO pneumoperitoneum at different temperature and humidity on hemodynamic and respiratory parameters and postoperative pain in gynecological laparoscopic surgery: A prospective randomized controlled study.

Background: It is recommended to heat and humidity CO in laparoscopic surgery to prevent postoperative pain and hypothermia but information about its effects on hemodynamic and respiratory parameters is limited. We aimed to investigate the effects of standard and heated-humidified CO on hemodynamic and respiratory parameters, body temperature and pain in healthy patients.

Methods: One hundred patients who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign pathology were divided into two groups: Group CD (cold-dry) patients were administered standard CO, while Group HH (heated-humidified) patients were administered 95% humidified insufflation at 37 °C.

Retrospective evaluation of anesthetic techniques in pregnant women with renal transplantation.

Background/aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate anesthesia management in cesarean operation of pregnant women who underwent renal transplantation and the effects on postoperative renal function, retrospectively.

Materials And Methods: After obtaining the approval of the ethics committee of our hospital, the records of pregnant women who underwent kidney transplantation and cesarean section between 2007 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients’ demographic data, concomitant disease history, the treatment received, and type of anesthesia were retrospectively evaluated and recorded in the follow-up form.

The effects of uterine size with or without abdominal obesity on spinal block level and vasopressor requirement in elective cesarean section: a prospective observational study.

Background/aim: Hypotension is a serious complication caused by spinal anesthesia that places both the mother and fetus at increased risk. We aimed to investigate the effects of uterine size with or without abdominal obesity on sensory block level of pregnant women receiving spinal anesthesia.

Materials And Methods: This study included 125 term parturients who underwent cesarean section.

The effects of reflexology on anxiety and pain in patients after abdominal hysterectomy: A randomised controlled trial.

Objectives: This study aimed at finding out the effects of reflexology on pain, anxiety levels after abdominal hysterectomy.

Desing & Methods: The study was performed on women hospitalized in the intensive care unit and gynecology services of Ege University Hospital in İzmir after abdominal hysterectomy between September 2013 and September 2014. This study was designed and conducted as a randomized controlled trial.

The relationship between the Trendelenburg position and cerebral hypoxia inpatients who have undergone robot-assisted hysterectomy and prostatectomy.

Background/aim: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the Trendelenburg position and cerebral hypoxia in robot-assisted hysterectomy and prostatectomy.Materials and methods: A standardized mini-mental state examination was administered to 50 patients enrolled in the study 1 h before and after surgery. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) values and hemodynamic and respiratory parameters were recorded after induction of anesthesia (baseline) and once every 20 min in the Trendelenburg position and supine positions.

Intracranial foreign body (bullet) during pregnancy.

Intracranial foreign bodies during pregnancy is a very rare condition, however its maternal and fetal outcomes are very crucial with regard to morbidity and mortality. Furthermore wounding by firearms is still a public health problem particularly in our country. Intracranial foreign bodies during pregnancy is high risk pregnancy and must be managed with care and multidisciplinary approach.

The Evaluation of Applied Anaesthetic Techniques for Caesarean in Parturients with Cardiac Diseases: Retrospective Analysis.

Objective: In this study, the effects of anaesthetic technique on mother and newborn were investigated in a retrospective analysis of parturients with cardiac diseases undergoing Caesarean section between 2006-2012.

Methods: Our hospital's medical information system records were analyzed, and we found 107 parturients with cardiac disease and were undergoing Caesarean section, and their demographic data and obstetric, anaesthetic, and neonatal record forms were inspected.

Results: Fifty-three (49.

A randomized comparison of different doses of intrathecal levobupivacaine combined with fentanyl for elective cesarean section: prospective, double-blinded study.

Purpose: Levobupivacaine may produce a sensory and motor block different from that produced by bupivacaine, which is the most popular local anesthetic in parturients undergoing cesarean section. The aim of this study was to investigate the block characteristics, the clinical efficacy, surgeon and patient satisfaction, and hemodynamic effects of using different doses of intrathecal plain levobupivacaine combined with fentanyl.

Methods: One hundred twenty women undergoing elective cesarean section with a combined spinal-epidural technique were enrolled.
