Objective: The purpose of our study was to compare the recovery characteristics and side effects of sugammadex (SM) and neostigmine (NT) in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Residual neuromuscular block is a serious condition that increases pulmonary complications after anesthesia. Although acetylcholinesterase inhibitors help reverse this block, they may be insufficient, especially when administered with inhalational anesthetics.

Objectives: An increased reflex in sympathetic and sympathoadrenal activity caused by tracheal intubation causes an increase in arterial blood pressure, and increased venous pressure causes an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP). The aim of the current study was to compare the effects of lidocaine, fentanyl, and remifentanil to determine which agent was most effective in the prevention of elevated IOP.

Methods: The patients were separated into 3 groups (lidocaine, fentanyl, and remifentanil).

Objective: Antagonism of the central nervous system inhibitor neurotransmitter gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) or serotonergic system activation is an important factor in the pathogenesis of intrathecal morphine-induced pruritus. This study tested the hypothesis that preoperative use of ondansetron, gabapentin or mirtazapine can prevent morphine-induced pruritus.

Methods: We randomly allocated 80 patients of American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) classification I and II physical status who were to undergo unilateral inguinal hernia or pilonidal sinus operations under spinal anesthesia into 4 equal groups.

The beach chair position is one of the most commonly used positions in arthroscopic shoulder surgery because of its anatomical nature and easy modifiability to open surgery. Despite these advantages, thromboembolic and neurologic complications have been reported. We report a case of carotid sinus hypersensitivity due to shoulder sling pressure after arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
