Easy method to determine fluid responsiveness in septic shock patients: end-tidal CO2 - a prospective observational study.

Background: In critically ill patients, especially those with septic shock, fluid management can be a challenging aspect of clinical care. One of the primary steps in treating patients with hemodynamic instability is optimizing intravascular volume. The Passive Leg Raising (PLR) maneuver is a reliable test for assessing fluid responsiveness, as demonstrated by numerous studies and meta-analyses.

Does Maintaining a Targeted Abdominal Perfusion Pressure Reduce Renal Damage in Patients with Septic Shock?: A Randomized, Controlled, and Open-label Study.

Background: Increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) in patients admitted to the intensive care unit leads to reduced abdominal perfusion pressure (APP), causing circulatory insufficiency and organ failure.

Aims: To investigate the effect of maintaining a targeted APP on renal injury and the effect of increased IAP on the mortality rate in patients with septic shock.

Study Design: Randomized, controlled, open-label study.

The Efficacy of Erector Spinae Plane Block for Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy.

Objective: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is accompanied by somatic and visceral pain intraoperatively and postoperatively. However, pain management strategies lack a decisive consensus. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a novel paraspinal fascial block that can be used in PCNL patients, and we aimed to investigate whether ESPB will reduce intraoperative and postoperative opioid consumption and postoperative pain scores in PCNL patients.

Effectiveness of Using a Gelatine-Based Model in Ultrasonography-guided Jugular Central venous Catheter Placement Training: A Randomised Clinical Trial.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of using a gelatine-based model, that can be prepared easily and at a low cost, compared to training without a model in ultrasonography (USG) guided internal jugular venous catheter placement training.

Study Design: An open-label, randomised clinical trial.

Place And Duration Of Study: (UHS) Izmir Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital, Izmir, Turkey, from 1st to 30th July 2019.

Success of the Cytokine Absorption Therapies in COVID-19 Patients Diagnosed with Cytokine Release Syndrome.

Objective: To compare the effects of cytokine absorption therapy with a resin-based cytokine absorption cartridge to tocilizumab treatment in critically ill COVID-19 patients diagnosed with cytokine release syndrome (CRS).

Study Design: A descriptive study.

Place And Duration Of Study: University of Health Sciences, Izmir Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital, Izmir, Turkey from April 2020 to April 2021.
