Background: World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the outbreak of COVID-19 constituted a public health emergency of global concern.
Objectives: Owing to limited data on critically ill patients admitted to ICU, we aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and prognosis of these patients based on ventilatory variables and clinical features.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 45 critically ill patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 who were admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) wards of the hospital from April 8 to May 9, 2020, were enrolled.
Background: Paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. ketorolac) can be considered for mild to moderate post-caesarean pain.

Magnesium sulfate increases, in some cases, the effects of local anesthetics on the peripheral nerve blocks.
Objectives: The current study aimed at investigating the effects of adding magnesium sulfate to ropivacaine in the transverse abdominis plane block after hysterectomy.
Objective: To compare the analgesic effects of femoral nerve block (FNB) and adductor canal block (ACB) after arthroscopic knee surgery.
Methods: This was a prospective randomised clinical trial that enrolled 92 patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. Ultrasound-guided FNB or ACB was performed immediately after surgery for pain relief.
Background: Nowadays, ultrasound is increasingly used with a great accuracy in performing nerve blocks for facet joint disease.
Objectives: To measure sonoanatomic characteristics for the facet joints of lumbar vertebras in patients with facetogenic pain and healthy volunteers.
Study Design: Cross-sectional, observational study.
BACKGROUND Diaphragmatic rupture can be seen in up to 5% of car accidents, and 80%-100% of diaphragmatic hernias are associated with other vital organ injuries. Brain, pelvis, long bones, liver, spleen, and aorta are some other organs that can be severely damaged and need different anesthetic managements. CASE REPORT A 37-year-old male victim of a head-on collision who was suffering diaphragmatic rupture and corneal laceration was prepared for an emergency operation 11 hours after the car accident.

Objectives: In this study, we compared postoperative respiratory complications in patients with prolonged ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgeries, whose airways were controlled with tracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway (LMA).
Materials And Methods: In a randomized control trial (RCT), 171 candidates of prolonged ENT surgeries were randomly assigned into two groups.
Background: Postoperative pain is one of the most important complications encountered after surgery. A number of options are available for treating pain following surgery. One of those options is the use of intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: In recent years, intravenously (IV) administered acetaminophen has become one of the most common perioperative analgesics. Despite its now-routine use, IV acetaminophen's analgesic comparative efficacy has never been compared with that of ketamine, a decades-old analgesic familiar to obstetricians, gynecologists, and anesthesiologists alike. This doubleblind clinical trial aimed to evaluate the analgesic effects of ketamine and IV acetaminophen on postoperative pain after abdominal hysterectomy.

- The study investigates whether adding hyaluronidase to epidural steroid injections can improve pain relief in patients with low back pain from failed spinal surgeries.
- The research involved a randomized trial with 25 participants who received either hyaluronidase or normal saline mixed with pain medication, all under the guidance of an experienced pain specialist.
- Results showed that those receiving hyaluronidase had significantly lower pain scores and better satisfaction with their treatment compared to the saline group, although the study's small sample size is a limitation.
Patient: Male, 4 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Cortical blindness after complicated general anesthesia Symptoms: Blindness • fine motor activity derangements
Medication: - Clinical Procedure: General anesthesia for unilateral inguinal hydrocelectomy Specialty: Anesthesiology.
Objective: Rare disease.
Background: We report a case of transient cortical blindness after urological surgery.
