The association between the APACHE-II scores and age groups for predicting mortality in an intensive care unit: a retrospective study.

Background And Aims: In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether the age or the APACHE-II score was a better predictor of mortality in each group. The secondary objective was to investigate the factors affecting the mortality in each individual age group.

Methods: We designed this retrospective study between 2016-2017.

Comparison of Different Induction Doses of Rocuronium and Vecuronium in Neuroanaesthesia Practice.

Objective: To evaluate the efficiency of use of rocuronium and vecuronium in different dose regimens in neuroanaesthesia practice in terms of intubation time and first additional dose requirement.

Methods: Sixty-eight neurosurgery patients with intracranial mass that were operated on were included in our study. Patients were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the induction dose of neuromuscular blocker (NMB) as: Group 1: Vecuronium 0.

Postoperative analgesia for arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery: a comparison between subacromial and interscalene levobupivacaine.

Objectives: Arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery can result in severe postoperative pain. We compared a continuous subacromial infusion to a continuous interscalene block with levobupivacaine for patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery.

Methods: Sixty patients were randomized to two groups: 1) interscalene block with 0.
