The Effect of Magnesium Sulfate on Extubation Quality Score and Recovery in Larynx Laser Microsurgery: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Study.

Purpose: Laryngeal microsurgery is a challenging surgery because of the risk of airway complications. Therefore, extubation is of significant importance. We aimed to investigate the effect of magnesium sulfate on extubation quality, recovery features, and complications.

The Effect of Different Propofol-Ketamine Combinations on Emergence Delirium in Children Undergoing Adenoidectomy and Tonsillectomy Surgery.

Purpose: Emergence delirium (ED) after sevoflurane anesthesia remains a serious issue in children. We aimed to compare different ratios of propofol-ketamine combinations to determine a better option for preventing ED.

Design: A prospective, randomized clinical trial.

Evaluation of factors affecting treatment and mortality in patients over 65 years of age and without chronic disease, followed in the Intensive Care Unit due to COVID-19.

Objective: In this study, demographic, clinical, and laboratory data of patients aged 65 and over who are followed on mechanical ventilators due to COVID-19 in intensive care clinics will be useful in terms of strategies to be developed in the fight against COVID-19 and other infectious agents.

Patients And Methods: Our study included 299 patients aged 65 years and older, who were not chronically ill, and who were followed up on mechanical ventilators due to COVID-19 in intensive care clinics in the period between 2020 and 2022. Our study was designed as a retrospective cross-sectional study.

Bilateral Ultrasound-Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block for Perioperative Analgesia in Breast Reduction Surgery: A Prospective Randomized and Controlled Trial.

Background: Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is an interfascial plane block used for analgesia of the chest and abdominal wall. This study aimed to evaluate the perioperative analgesic efficacy of bilateral single-shot ESPB at T5 vertebral level in breast reduction surgery.

Materials And Methods: Sixty adult female patients scheduled for breast reduction surgery were included and randomly allocated to two groups to receive either preoperative ESPB with a local anesthetic mixture of 10 mL 0.

Effects of Ketamine Infusion on Oxygenation in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Undergoing Lung Cancer Surgery.

Objective: Ketamine changes respiratory mechanics, provides airway relaxation, and alleviates bronchospasm in patients with pulmonary disease. This study investigated the effect of a continuous infusion of ketamine during thoracic surgery on arterial oxygenation (PaO2/FiO2) and the shunt fraction (Qs/Qt) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Methods: Thirty patients older than 40 years, diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and undergoing lobectomy were recruited for this study.
