Emergency Control of Large Aneurysmal Bleed During Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: A Case Report.

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a commonly performed procedure for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis. It is most commonly performed as an outpatient procedure. Complications occur, including injury to the orbits, brain, and bleeding.

Transitioning From a Low-Dose-Rate to a High-Dose-Rate Prostate Brachytherapy Program: Comparing Initial Dosimetry and Improving Workflow Efficiency Through Targeted Interventions.

Purpose: We transitioned from a low-dose-rate (LDR) to a high-dose-rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy program. The objective of this study was to describe our experience developing a prostate HDR program, compare the LDR and HDR dosimetry, and identify the impact of several targeted interventions in the HDR workflow to improve efficiency.

Methods And Materials: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients treated with LDR or HDR prostate brachytherapy.

The safety and efficacy of intravenous ketorolac in patients undergoing primary endoscopic sinus surgery: a randomized, double-blinded clinical trial.

Background: Ketorolac (KT) is an intravenous (IV) nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for acute, moderate pain. KT is safe, but may be linked to increased risk of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage. The safety and efficacy of KT following primary endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is unknown.

Anesthetic and recovery profiles of lidocaine versus mepivacaine for spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing outpatient orthopedic arthroscopic procedures.

Study Objective: To compare isobaric lidocaine and mepivacaine in outpatient arthroscopic surgery.

Design: Prospective, randomized, double-blinded study.

Setting: Ambulatory surgery center affiliated with an academic tertiary-care hospital.
