Comparison of ultrasound guidance and palpation technique for femoral artery catheterization in children undergoing cardiac surgery.

Objective: The aim of this study was compare the palpation technique and ultrasound-guidance for femoral artery catheterization in pediatric patients undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease.

Materials And Methods: This prospective and randomized controlled study included American Society of Anesthesiologists III-IV 40 children who underwent congenital heart surgery. The patients were divided into two groups; ultrasound-guided catheterization group and palpation-guided catheterization group.

Clinical characterisation and management outcome of obstetric patients following intensive care unit admission for COVID-19 pneumonia.

This study aims to examine the clinical characteristics and mortality-related factors of obstetric patients, who were taken to the intensive care unit due to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study included 31 patients in the peripartum period with COVID-19 pneumonia, followed up in the intensive care unit (ICU) from March 2020 to December 2020. Symptoms, laboratory values, intensive care unit duration of stay, complications, the requirement of non-invasive and invasive mechanical ventilation, and mortality were recorded.

Acute Kidney Injury in Intensive Care Unit Patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019.

Objective: The incidence of acute kidney injury during the hospital stay in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 varies between 8% and 17% in studies. This rate is at the highest levels among the critical patient group monitored in the intensive care unit (23% [14-35%]). In this study, we aimed to assess the incidence of acute kidney injury development, effective factors, and clinical outcomes of patients monitored in the intensive care unit due to coronavirus disease 2019.

Ligation of patent ductus arteriosus through left anterior mini-thoracotomy in preterm infants.

Objective: Patent ductus arteriosus is an important cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in very low birth weight infants. The aim of the study is to report our single-centre short-term results of preterm patients who underwent ligation through left anterior mini-thoracotomy .

Methods: Data of 27 preterm infants operated by the same surgeon who underwent Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure with left anterior mini-thoracotomy technique between November 2020 and January 2022 at a single institution were reviewed.

Comparison of Thoracolumbar Interfascial Plane Block with the Application of Local Anesthesia in the Management of Postoperative Pain in Patients with Lumbar Disc Surgery.

Aim: To compare the effect of ultrasound-guided modified thoracolumbar interfascial plane (TLIP) block versus local anesthetic infiltration on the wound site for post-operative analgesia in patients undergoing lumbar disc surgery with spinal anesthesia.

Material And Methods: This prospective and observationally planned study included 42 patients from the ages of 18 to 75 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists classes I?III, who underwent lumbar disc surgery. In Group L, bupivacaine infiltration was performed on the surgical incision line.

Effects of Adding a Combined Infraorbital and Infratrochlear Nerve Block to General Anaesthesia in Septorhinoplasty.

Purpose: In this study, we evaluated the hypothesis that preoperative bilateral infraoptic nerve (ION) and infratrochlear nerve (ITN) blocks under general anesthesia with sevoflurane and remifentanil reduced the incidence of emergence agitation (EA), pain scores, and the analgesic consumption after the septorhinoplasty.

Patients And Methods: Our study was conducted as a prospective randomized, double-sided blind study. Fifty-two patients whose septorhinoplasty operation was planned under general anesthesia were included in the study.
