Background: Vaccines against coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) have been effective in preventing symptomatic diseases, hospitalizations, and intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. However, data regarding the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines in reducing mortality among critically ill patients with COVID-19 remains unclear.
Aims: To determine the vaccination status and investigate the impact of the COVID-19 vaccine on the 28-day mortality in critically ill patients with COVID-19.
Robotic-assisted perineal prostatactomy(RAPP) is a new alternative surgical technique, in prostate cancer patients especially with a history of intra-abdominal surgery. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of the challenging patient position and CO insufflation in perineal space during RAPP on both hemodynamic parameters and respiratory mechanics. Hemodynamic and respiratory parameters of 30 patients who underwent RAPP and 31 patients who underwent Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) for prostate cancer between 2017 and 2019 were retrospectively evaluated.

In this study, we compared the ease of using the aerosol box (AB) with the traditional method during internal jugular vein cannulation attempts (IJVCA).
Methods: The study included 40 patients with COVID-19 who required central venous catheterisation during treatment in the ward.
Background: Mechanical power (MP) is a promising tool for guidance of lung protective ventilation. Different equations have been proposed to calculate MP in pressure control ventilation (PCV). The aim of this study is to introduce an easy to use MP equation MP
Background: COVID-19 can cause a clinical spectrum from asymptomatic disease to life-threatening respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). There is an ongoing discussion whether the clinical presentation and ventilatory parameters are the same as typical ARDS or not. There is no clear understanding of how the hemodynamic parameters have been affected in COVID-19 ARDS patients.
