Effects of music on perioperative anxiety in patients undergoing cesarean section - A randomised prospective controlled study.

Premedication with sedative drugs is one of the most preferred methods to reduce anxiety. Due to concerns about maternal and fetal side effects, their use in obstetric anesthesia is not preferred. The primary aim of the authors of this study is to investigate the effect of music on perioperative anxiety in pregnant.

The effects of dexmedetomidine on hemodynamic responses to tracheal ntubation in hypertensive patients: A comparison with esmolol and sufentanyl.

Background: Hypertension and tachycardia caused by tracheal intubation can be detrimental in hypertensive patients. This study was conducted in order to compare the effects of dexmedetomidine on hemodynamic response to tracheal intubation in hypertensive patients with esmolol and sufentanyl.

Methods: Sixty hypertensive patients scheduled for noncardiac surgery under general anesthesia were randomly assigned to receive one of the three drugs before induction of anesthesia.

Preventive effect of dexmedetomidine in ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine on ischemia-reperfusion injury of epigastric island flaps of rats.

Methods: Eighty Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups. After the flap elevation, in group 1, the flaps were sutured back without ischemic insult.

Epileptic seizure following IV tramadol in a patient with mental retardation and cerebellar ataxia.

Objective: To present a case of an epileptic seizure related to intravenous (IV) tramadol for pain control following a total abdominal hysterectomy operation on a patient with mental retardation and cerebellar ataxia.

Background: Tramadol is an analgesic with a dual mechanism of action and has several side effects, one of which is epileptic seizure.

Case Report: A 42-year-old female with mental retardation and cerebellar ataxia presented with an epileptic seizure after administration of IV tramadol for postoperative pain.

The efficacy of intravenous paracetamol versus tramadol for postoperative analgesia after adenotonsillectomy in children.

Study Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and the quality of recovery with intravenous (IV) paracetamol versus tramadol for postoperative analgesia after adenotonsillectomy in children.

Design: Prospective, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial.

Setting: Operating room and Postanesthesia Care Unit (PACU) of a university-affiliated hospital.

The efficacy of ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block for postoperative pain after caesarean section.

Background: The effect of ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric (II-IH) nerve block on postoperative pain is well documented when performed before Caesarean section (CS) but the efficacy remains unclear when performed after the surgical procedure. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of II-IH nerve block on postoperative pain and analgesic consumption in patients when performed after CS.

Methods: Sixty ASA I- II patients, scheduled for elective CS were included in the study.

Bilateral extraoral, infraorbital nerve block for postoperative pain relief after cleft lip repair in pediatric patients: a randomized, double-blind controlled study.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of bilateral extraoral infraorbital nerve block with 0.25% bupivacaine administered at the end of surgery in postoperative pain relief after cleft lip repair. Forty ASA I-II children were randomly divided into 2 groups.
