The comparison of the effects of different doses of levobupivacaine infiltration on wound healing.

Unlabelled: INTRODUCTION-AIM: The easiest method in postoperative analgesia is the infiltration of the wound with local anesthetic drugs. Although many local anesthetic drugs have been used for this type of infiltration, studies on levobupivacaine are rare. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different concentrations of levobupivacaine infiltration on wound healing.

Oronasopharyngeal suction versus no suction in normal, term and vaginally born infants: a prospective randomised controlled trial.

This prospective randomised controlled trial aimed to compare the effects of oronasopharyngeal suction with those of no suction in normal, term and vaginally born infants and was performed at a Turkish tertiary hospital from June 2003 to January 2004. A total of 140 newborns were enrolled in the trial (n = 70 per group). The no suction group showed lower mean heart rates through the 3rd and 6th minutes and higher SaO(2) values through the first 6 mins of life (P < 0.

Oronasopharyngeal suction versus no suction in normal and term infants delivered by elective cesarean section: a prospective randomized controlled trial.

Background/aim: There are controversies about the routine use of oronasopharyngeal suction (ONPS) in healthy infants. This study aimed to compare the effects of oronasopharyngeal suction with those of no suction in normal, term infants delivered by cesarean section.

Methods: 140 term, healthy newborns of uncomplicated pregnancies were prospectively randomized to one of two groups according to the use of ONPS procedure.
