Internal Jugular Vein Ultrasonography in Prediction of Postspinal Hypotension.

Objective: To determine the role of internal jugular vein (IJV) ultrasonography to predict postspinal hypotension in patients undergoing elective surgery.

Study Design: A prospective observational study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Osmangazi University, Eskişehir, Turkey, from January to September 2020.

Emergency Difficult Airway Management in a Patient with Severe Epidermolysis Bullosa.

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare disease characterised by vesiculobullous lesions with minimal trauma to the skin and mucous membranes. Bleeding, scar tissue, contractures, oedema and lesions that can spread throughout the body can cause a difficult airway and vascular access in patients with EB. Therefore, anaesthetic management in patients with EB is a major problem even for experienced anaesthesiologists.

Comparison of the proseal, supreme, and i-gel SAD in gynecological laparoscopic surgeries.

We compared proseal, supreme, and i-gel supraglottic airway devices in terms of oropharyngeal leak pressures and airway morbidities in gynecological laparoscopic surgeries. One hundred and five patients undergoing elective surgery were subjected to general anesthesia after which they were randomly distributed into three groups. Although the oropharyngeal leak pressure was lower in the i-gel group initially (mean ± standard deviation; 23.

Performance of size 1 I-gel compared with size 1 ProSeal laryngeal mask in anesthetized infants and neonates.

Purpose: The size 1 I-gel, recommended for small infants and neonates weighing 2-5 kg, has recently been released. There are no prospective studies available that assess the insertion conditions, sealing pressures, or ventilation quality of it. This study was designed to compare the performance of recently released size 1 I-gel with size 1 ProSeal LMA.

Effects of sevoflurane or ketamine on the QTc interval during electroconvulsive therapy.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of sevoflurane or ketamine on the corrected QT (QTc) interval and the interval from the peak to the end of the T wave (Tp-e) during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in patients with major depression.

Methods: This prospective, randomized, double-blinded study included 24 patients that were randomly allocated to receive sevoflurane (group S) or ketamine (group K) for ECT session. Group S patients received 8 % sevoflurane for anesthesia induction, which was maintained at 2-4 % until delivery of the electrical stimulus.

Anaesthetic Management in Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome for Adenotonsillectomy.

The anaesthetic management of adenotonsillectomy in children with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is characteristic due to respiratory and cardiac side effects. A detailed physical examination in the preoperative period should be performed, including children's respiratory and cardiac systems. If they have an active infection, surgery should be postponed until the end of medical treatment.

The comparison of levobupivacaine in continuous or single dose spinal anesthesia for transurethral resection of prostate surgery.

Background: The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of levobupivacaine induced continuous spinal anesthesia (CSA) versus single dose spinal anesthesia (SDSA) in patients who are planned to undergo transurethral prostate resection.

Methods: Sixty years or older, ASA I-II or III, 50 patients were included in the study. 12.

Anaesthesia for Caesarean Delivery in a Pregnant with Acute Type B Aortic Dissection.

About 50% of aortic dissections in women younger than 40 years occur during pregnancy; mostly in the 3rd trimesters and postpartum period. Aortic dissection in pregnancy creates a serious mortality risk for both mother and the foetus. The ultimate goal is to ensure the safety of both the mother and the foetus.
