Article Synopsis
- Headache after craniotomy is often overlooked, and this study tested whether a single preoperative dose of dexketoprofen (DEX) could help reduce post-surgery headaches compared to a placebo.
- The research involved 200 patients and measured pain levels using a visual analogue scale during their hospital stay and at 30- and 90-day follow-ups.
- Results showed that DEX did reduce pain intensity in the first 24 hours after surgery but had no long-term impact on headache severity or overall pain management in the following weeks.
Objectives: The aim of the present work was to assess the knowledge and attitudes of different health care workers and laypeople toward the donation and transplantation procedure.
Subjects And Methods: A survey consisting of questions regarding brain death diagnosis, legal organization or organ donation, and the transplantation procedure were sent to participants: 56 intensive care unit (ICU) doctors, 76 ICU nurses, 188 sixth-year medical students, and 320 general practitioners (GPs). Laypeople were also asked to complete the survey.
Background: Exposure of the OR staff to inhalational anesthetics has been proven by numerous investigators, but its potential adverse effect under the present technical circumstances is a debated issue. The aim of the present work was to test whether using a laminar flow air conditioning system exposure of the team to anesthetic gases is different if the anesthetist works in the sitting as compared to the standing position.
Methods: Sample collectors were placed at the side of the patient and were fixed at two different heights: at 100 cm (modelling sitting position) and 175 cm (modelling standing position), whereas the third collector was placed at the independent corner of the OR.
