Evaluation of the Relationship Between Changes in Potassium Concentration and Arrhythmia During Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery.

Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery is a treatment option for coronary artery diseases. Cardiac arrhythmias during CABG surgery can lead to serious complications. Potassium ion concentration is a factor involved in such arrhythmias.

Comparison of the Effects of Haloperidol and Dexmedetomidine on Delirium and Agitation in Patients with a Traumatic Brain Injury Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit.

Background: Patients under mechanical ventilation in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) have a higher risk of delirium. To date, the ideal sedative combination for delirium treatment in terms of cost and side effects has not been determined.

Objectives: This study was designed to compare the effects of haloperidol and dexmedetomidine on delirium in trauma patients under mechanical ventilation in the ICU.
