Background Manipulation under anesthesia is known to be an effective treatment method for a frozen shoulder. However, this process is painful and causes difficulty in early physiotherapy. Intra-articular corticosteroids may relieve pain after manipulation.

Most of the local anesthetic toxicity cases develop within the first five minutes of peripheral block administration. Late local anesthetic toxicity has been rarely reported in the literature. However, it is an important life-threatening problem that can lead to seizures, hemodynamic collapse, and cardiac arrest if it is ignored and not considered.

Introduction: Preoperative anxiety due to anesthesia is a common situation and decreases with preoperative evaluation. The aim of this study is to determine whether utilization of BATHE method further decreases the anxiety scores of patients who are evaluated at an anesthesia clinic for preoperative examination.

Methods: The patients were randomized into "BATHE" and "Control" groups by using the closed envelope technique.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate general anesthesia or propofol-based sedation methods at gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) procedures.The anesthetic method administered to cases undergoing upper gastrointestinal ESD between 2013 and 2015 was retrospectively investigated. Procedure time, lesion size, dissection speed, anesthesia time, adverse effects such as gag reflex, nausea, vomiting, cough, number of desaturation episodes (SpO2 < 90%), oropharyngeal suctioning requirements, hemorrhage, perforation, and amount of anesthetic medications were recorded.

Background: Intravenous lipid emulsion eliminates the toxicity-related symptoms of several drugs. We hypothesized that intravenous lipid emulsion prolongs the survival time in digoxin-intoxicated rats.

Methods: Electrocardiograms of 14 anesthesized Wistar rats were monitored.

Operative decision in American Society of Anesthesiology Physical Status (ASA-PS) V patient is difficult as this group of patients expected to have high mortality rate. Another risk scoring system in this ASA-PS V subset of patients can aid to ease this decision. Data of ASA-PS V classified patients between 2011 and 2013 years in a single hospital were analyzed in this study.

Objective: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an endoscopic treatment method widely used in premalignant and malignant lesions in countries of the Far East. This method, which is difficult technically and has a high complication risk rate, has rarely been performed in the West, because of the fewer number of upper gastrointestinal lesions. In the present study, we aimed to present our results of gastric ESD procedures in respect to the learning curve.

Article Synopsis
  • Smoking appears to increase pain perception during venous cannulation, as demonstrated in a study involving 220 elective surgery patients split into smokers (Group S) and non-smokers (Group C).
  • Patients rated their pain on a numerical scale, with smokers reporting significantly higher pain levels (3.31) compared to non-smokers (1.65), indicating a strong statistical difference (p<0.001).
  • The findings suggest that healthcare providers should consider a patient's smoking habits when evaluating pain management strategies for procedures like venous cannulation.

Background And Objectives: Initiation of epidural anesthesia with long-lasting local anesthetics consumes a significant amount of time, which could be problematic in busy obstetric anesthesia suites. We have hypothesized that a combination of articaine and ropivacaine provides faster onset and even an early recovery of sensory-motor block characteristics.

Methods: Sixty term parturients scheduled to have elective cesarean section were randomly allocated into three groups to receive either 20 mL 2% articaine (Group A), 10 mL 2% articaine + 10 mL 0.

Objective: We assessed the antioxidant activity of dexmedetomidine (Dex) administered during the ischemic period in a rabbit model of mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury using biochemical and histopathological methods.

Methods: A total of 24 male New Zealand white rabbits weighing between 2.5 and 3.
