Difficult Ventilation in an Infant After Successful Intubation.

Manufacturing defects in the connector of the endotracheal tube are not frequently encountered in emergency and planned intubations. In cases where they are encountered, however, they may cause partial or complete airway obstruction in sick infants with limited reserves, giving rise to a life-threatening situation following the intubation. For this reason, endotracheal tubes must be checked carefully before use.

The effect of using tablet computer on surgical stress: A single-blinded randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effects of tablet computer method on children with and without anxiety. The study was designed as a prospective single-blinded randomized controlled trial.

Materials And Methods: The population of the study were 300 patients between the ages of 4 and 10 years old who were scheduled for their first elective surgery for phimosis-inguinal hernia-hydrocele-undescended testis-hypospadias.

Long-term efficacy and safety of repeated botulinum toxin a applications based on function and anesthesia type in children with cerebral palsy.

Purpose: This study evaluates the motor development of patients undergoing three or more repeated Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) applications in a tertiary pediatric hospital as well as the safety of three different types of anesthesia.

Methods: Seventy-five children who underwent BoNT-A applications at least three consecutive times at six-month intervals and a total of 320 procedures were examined. Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) was employed in motor development evaluation.

The effect of the duration of the procedure on the risk of complications during pediatric cardiac catheterization.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the frequency of and associated risk factors for adverse events caused by cardiac catheterization procedures in pediatric patients.

Methods: Between January 2009 and January 2012, a total of 599 pediatric patients (320 males, 279 females; mean age 5.4±4.

Primary non-Hodgkin follicular lymphoma of the prostate: A case report.

Primary lymphoma of the prostate is a rare condition, representing 0.09% of prostatic malignancies. The clinical presentation of malignant lymphoma of the prostate is difficult to distinguish from other prostatic diseases.

The effect of combined therapy with tamsulosin hydrochloride and meloxicam in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms and impact on nocturia and sleep quality.

Purpose: We aimed to compare the effect and feasibility of a combined therapy with tamsulosin hydrochloride plus meloxicam, and tamsulosin hydrochloride alone in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia symptoms and impact on nocturia and sleep quality.

Materials And Methods: Four hundred male patients were included in this study between 2008 and 2011. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: one received tamsulosin hydrochloride 0.

FabAct®: a decision-making tool for the anticipation of the preparation of anticancer drugs.

Rationale: Due to the increase of new cancer cases, our chemotherapy compounding unit must face with ever-growing production needs. To support this increasing workload, we decided to anticipate the preparation of several anti-cancer drugs.

Aims And Objectives: To help us in the decision making, we needed a modern tool able to combine several criteria for selecting appropriate medications for an anticipated preparation.

Exploring new operational research opportunities within the Home Care context: the chemotherapy at home.

Home Care (HC) services provide complex and coordinated medical and paramedical care to patients at their homes. As health care services move into the home setting, the need for developing innovative approaches that improve the efficiency of home care organizations increases. We first conduct a literature review of investigations dealing with operation planning within the area of home care management.
