Efficacy of Preoperative Pericapsular Nerve Group Block in Patients with Hip Fracture and its Effect on the Success of Spinal Anaesthesia: A Retrospective Study.

Objective: We intended to research the efficacy of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block performed with preoperative ultrasonography (USG) in patients who underwent hip fracture repair under spinal anaesthesia and whether it affects the success of spinal anaesthesia.

Methods: The files of 100 patients were analysed, and 60 patients were enrolled in the study. The patients were assigned into two groups: Group P (n = 30) consisted of patients who underwent USG-guided PENG block before the start of surgery and the control group (Group C; n = 30) consisted of patients in whom tramadol infusion was initiated.

Factors predicting the use of the backward upward rightward pressure maneuver in thyroid surgery: a single-center retrospective cohort study.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictability of utilizing the backward upward rightward pressure (BURP) maneuver and the efficacy of related tests in patients with a challenging airway and a Mallampati score of 2 or higher who underwent scheduled elective thyroid surgery.

Methods: Patient files were scanned for 300 adult patients who had undergone thyroid surgery under general anesthesia. The information included their medical history of thyroid disease, previous thyroid surgery, and evaluation tests for difficult intubation such as Mallampati score, maximum mouth opening, ease of intubation, thyroid goitre grade, and whether the BURP maneuver was performed.

The awareness of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) cesarean delivery guidelines among anesthesiology and reanimation assistants in Turkey; a questionnaire study.

Background: To reduce maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality, it is becoming increasingly important for anesthetists to understand and implement enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) cesarean delivery guidelines. Our aim was to reveal the knowledge of anesthesia assistants in Turkey about ERAS during cesarean delivery and to increase their awareness of ERAS.

Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in the city of Isparta, Turkey in 2023.

Prevalence and Causes of Elective Surgery Cancellations After Patients are Taken to the Operating Room: A Prospective, Cross-Sectional Study.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the causes and prevalence of elective surgery cancellations in the operating room, and the clinical outcomes of affected patients.

Methods: This prospective, cross-sectional study assessed the prevalence and causes of elective surgery cancellations once patients are in the operating room. A tertiary academic referral center hosted the study between January 2022 and January 2023.

Frequency of development of aspirin resistance in the early postoperative period and inadequate inhibition of thromboxane A2 production after coronary artery bypass surgery.

Background: This study aims to investigate the frequency of the development of aspirin resistance, whether or not this resistance was reversible, and to evaluate the efficiency of the mechanism of incomplete inhibition of thromboxane A2 in development of aspirin resistance in the early postoperative period in patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting.

Methods: Eighty patients (55 males, 25 females; mean age 63.1±9.

The effect of ozone treatment on remote organ myocardial injury in an aortic ischemia-reperfusion model.

Background: This study aims to investigate the effect of ozone on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury occurring after occlusion - reperfusion of infrarenal abdominal aorta in rats.

Methods: Thirty-two Wistar albino rats (weighing 200-250 g) were randomized into four equal groups. The control (sham) group underwent laparotomy and dissection of the infrarenal abdominal aorta without occlusion.

Comparison of tramadol/acetaminophen fixed-dose combination, tramadol, and acetaminophen in patients undergoing ambulatory arthroscopic meniscectomy.

Objectives: Preemptive analgesia is a technique in which analgesics are administered before a surgery to provide better postoperative pain relief with fewer side effects. In this study, we aimed to compare the preemptive efficacy of tramadol/acetaminophen fixed-dose combination, tramadol, and acetaminophen in patients undergoing ambulatory arthroscopic partial meniscectomy.

Methods: We evaluated the patient records of 75 patients who underwent ambulatory arthroscopic partial meniscectomy.

[The results of greater occipital nerve block applied for migraine headache].

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of greater occipital nerve (GON) block in the treatment of migraine patients.

Methods: This study included 28 patients diagnosed with migraine between 2014 and 2015. The GON block procedure was applied by administering 1.

The genicular nerve: radiofrequency lesion application for chronic knee pain.

Background/aim: We investigated the short- and medium-term effectiveness of genicular nerve radiofrequency (RF) applied in patients with chronic knee pain due to osteoarthritis.

Materials And Methods: Radiofrequency was performed in 49 patients with a diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis. VAS and WOMAC were measured at baseline and at 1, 4, and 12 weeks postprocedure.

A 27-kg mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary presenting with deep vein thrombosis.

Giant ovarian adenomas are rarely observed today because of early diagnosis and treatment. Mucinous cystadenomas is a kind of tumor that mostly causes the ovary to enlarge. Theu can present with various and non-specific clinical manifestations such as deep vein thrombosis.

The application of epidural anesthesıa in pregnant woman with uncorrected tetralogy of Fallot: a case report.

Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic congenital cardiac disease. The hemodynamic changes which are present immediately after abdominal delivery may be resulted with serious, life-threatening multiorgan complications. Therefore the choice of anesthesia is very difficult.
