Relationship between Postoperative Complications and Ratio of Amount of Wetting Solution to Ideal Body Weight in Liposuction Procedures.

Background: The use of wetting solutions (WSs) during high-volume liposuction is standard; however, the optimal amount of WS and its components and their effect on postoperative complications are unclear. We evaluated the effect of a WS and its components, calculated according to ideal body weight (IBW), on postoperative complications.

Methods: High-volume liposuction with a WS containing 0.

Cardiovascular Effects of Tourniquet Application with Cardiac Cycle Efficiency: A Prospective Observational Study.

The impact of the tourniquet on cardiac efficiency remains unknown. This study aimed to assess the impact of the tourniquet on cardiac cycle efficiency (CCE) and to interpret how general anesthesia (GA) or combined spinal epidural anesthesia (CSEA) affects this during surgery using cardiac energy parameters. This prospective observational study included 43 patients undergoing elective unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with a tourniquet divided into GA ( = 22) and CSEA ( = 21) groups.

Effect of the Duration of Restrictive Fluid Therapy on Acute Kidney Injury in Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy.

Background: In robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), restrictive fluid therapy (RFT) is often utilized until the vesicourethral anastomosis (console period) is completed. RFT can cause acute kidney injury (AKI). Thus, RFT prolongation in surgeries that utilize the Trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum may increase the risk of postoperative AKI.

The evaluation of cardiac functions in deep Trendelenburg position during robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.

Objective: This study aimed to demonstrate the reliability of the cardiac cycle efficiency value through its correlation with longitudinal strain by observing the effect of the deep Trendelenburg position.

Design: A prospective, observational study.

Setting: Single center.

Hypotension after Anesthesia Induction: Target-Controlled Infusion Versus Manual Anesthesia Induction of Propofol.

Background: Post-induction hypotension frequently occurs and can lead to adverse outcomes. As target-controlled infusion (TCI) obviates the need to calculate the infusion rate manually and helps safer dosing with prompt titration of the drug using complex pharmacokinetic models, the use of TCI may provide a better hemodynamic profile during anesthesia induction. This study aimed to compare TCI versus manual induction and to determine the hemodynamic risk factors for post-induction hypotension.
