Correlation Between Sociocultural and Economic Factors in Pediatric Patients' Families and Emergence Delirium.

Background: Postoperative delirium is a commonly encountered condition that can arise from multiple factors, and its occurrence varies based on the type of surgery in pediatric patients. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of delirium during the recovery from anesthesia in children undergoing eye surgery and its association with the sociocultural and economic status of their families.

Methods: This prospective observational study included children aged 2-12 years who underwent eye surgeries.

Is Temperature Monitoring Necessary in Pediatric Circumcision?

Objective: Perioperative hypothermia occurs in the pediatric age group in the perioperative period at a high rate. In this study, it is aimed to reveal the incidence of perioperative hypothermia and the risk factors that play a role in its development in pediatric circumcision cases that have a brief operation duration.

Materials And Methods: This prospective observational cohort study included 100 children who underwent circumcision under general anesthesia.

Transfusion-related acute lung injury and treatment with high-flow oxygen therapy in a pediatric patient: a case report.

Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI) is an immune-inflammatory lung pathology that manifests within the first 6-72 hours after administration of blood products. However, due to reduced awareness of TRALI, it continues to be an underreported and often underdiagnosed complication of transfusion therapy. We report a case of a 6-year-old girl with myelodysplastic syndrome and TRALI developed in the first hour after platelet transfusion.

A pathology not be overlooked in blunt chest trauma: Analysis of 181 patients with bilateral pneumothorax.

Background: Bilateral pneumothorax (BPTx) can become tension PTx and a cause of mortality, especially in severe multi-trauma patients. The purpose of this study was to analyze the incidence, morbidity, mortality, and associated factors of BPTx in multi-trauma patients in order to highlight the importance of the management of these cases, as well as complications, morbidity, and mortality.

Methods: The data of 181 patients with BPTx, from a total of 3782 trauma patients, were reviewed retrospectively.

Risk Factors for Prolonged Intensive Care Unit Stay After Open Heart Surgery in Adults.

Objective: Prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay prevents the use of ICU equipment by other patients and increases hospital cost. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the risk factors for prolonged ICU stay in patients undergoing open heart surgery.

Methods: The medical records of 513 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and valvular heart surgery were retrospectively evaluated.

Correlation between serum lactate levels and outcome in pediatric patients undergoing congenital heart surgery.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between perioperative arterial lactate levels and morbidity and mortality in children undergoing cardiac surgery.

Methods: A total of 236 patients who underwent open heart surgery due to congenital heart disease (121 males, 115 females; mean age 56.4 month (median: 42 month): range, 1 day to 204 month) between June 2014 and May 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.

The outcomes of prosthetic bypass grafting for chronic mesenteric ischemia.

Background: This study aims to analyze early and late outcomes of the prosthetic bypass grafting procedure in the treatment of chronic mesenteric ischemia.

Methods: Twenty-two patients (15 males, 7 females; mean age 60±10 years; range, 32 to 78 years) who underwent prosthetic bypass grafting for chronic mesenteric ischemia due to atherosclerosis between March 2009 and March 2017 were included in this study. The demographic and operative data were analyzed retrospectively.

Influence of stroke volume variation on fluid treatment and postoperative complications in thoracic surgery.

Background: Fluid management in critically ill patients usually relies on increasing preload to augment cardiac output. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate whether stroke volume variation (SVV) can guide fluid therapy and reduce complications.

Patients And Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 88 patients who underwent lobectomy were divided into two groups: group 1 (SVV, n=43) and group 2 (conventional or central venous pressure [CVP], n=45).

Tramadol use in a patient with Brugada syndrome and morphine allergy: a case report.

Brugada syndrome is a rare syndrome characterized by arrhythmias and sudden death, particularly in younger individuals. A mutation in a gene encoding the human cardiac sodium channels is responsible for this syndrome. In the literature, there are several case reports of Brugada syndrome in association with the use of several anesthetic agents.

Predictive Value of Brain Arrest Neurological Outcome Scale (BrANOS) on Mortality and Morbidity After Cardiac Arrest.

Objective: There are several prediction scales and parameters for prognosis after a cardiac arrest. One of these scales is the brain arrest neurological outcome scale (BrANOS), which consists of duration of cardiac arrest, Glasgow Coma Scale score and Hounsfield unit measured on cranial computed tomography (CT) scan. The objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of BrANOS on predicting the mortality and disability after a cardiac arrest.

Air gun pellet: cardiac penetration and peripheral embolization.

Use of high-velocity air guns can to lead to serious injuries. Management options of cardiac pellet gun injuries are based on patient stability, and course and location of the pellet. Presently reported is the case of a boy who was shot with an air gun pellet.

A Venous Catheter Complication: Venous Perforation and Lung Injury.

Central venous catheters are frequently used for different causes, like fluid infusions, haemodialysis, and measurement of central venous pressure. Complications that occur at the time or after the placement of these catheters can give harm to the patient or can cause need for a new attempt. Complications, like malfunction of the catheter, arterial puncture, haemothorax, or pneumothorax, can be seen in 5%-26% of the patients, and early detection is very important.
