Effect of age on the median effective dose and 95% effective dose of intravenous fentanyl for blunting the hemodynamic response to tracheal intubation: A double-blind, up-and-down sequential method trial.

Background And Aims: Control of the hemodynamic response during intubation is essential. To assess the effect of age on the median effective dose (ED50) and 95% effective dose (ED95) of fentanyl for blunting the hemodynamic response to intubation.

Material And Methods: Patients ( = 86) undergoing general anesthesia were randomly stratified according to age (groups 1-4); fentanyl was administered to each patient according to the Dixon and Massey method, starting at 2 μg/kg.

Incidence of complications associated with deep brain stimulation surgery in patients with Parkinson's disease: An 8-year retrospective study.

Background: Various complications occur in patients undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of complications in patients with Parkinson's disease who underwent DBS surgery and identify the risk factors, especially anesthetic factors.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed between May 2015 and December 2022.

Incidence and Risk Factors for Perioperative Cardiovascular Complications in Spine Surgery.

An increasing number of patients are opting for spine surgery despite the associated risk of cardiovascular complications. The evidence regarding the incidence and risk factors of cardiovascular complications in spine surgery is insufficient. Therefore, we aimed to determine the incidence and risk factors for cardiovascular complications that occur perioperatively in spine surgery.

Analgesic efficacy of intravenous nefopam after spine surgery: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

The incidence of moderate to severe pain is high among patients undergoing spinal surgery. Nefopam can be used as an adjuvant analgesic postoperatively after spine surgery. The study aimed to assess the analgesic efficacy and side effects of nefopam on 24-hour postoperative morphine consumption after spine surgery.

Unintended intraoperative awareness: An analysis of Perioperative Anesthetic Adverse Events in Thailand (PAAd Thai).

Background: Despite the improvement of anesthetic-related modalities, the incidence of unintended intraoperative awareness remains at around 0.005-0.038%.

Perioperative anaesthetic adverse events in Thailand (PAAd THAI) study: Incident report of perioperative convulsion.

The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics of perioperative convulsion and to suggest possible correcting strategies. The multi-centre study was conducted prospectively in 22 hospitals across Thailand in 2015. The occurrences of perioperative adverse events were collected.

The Performance of the Intubation Difficulty Scale among Obese Parturients Undergoing Cesarean Section.

There have not yet been any studies to validate the intubation difficulty scale (IDS) in obese parturients. Objectives of this study were to determine the performance of the IDS in defining difficult intubation (DI) and to identify the optimal cutoff points of the IDS among obese parturients. This was a prospective observational study.
