Article Synopsis
- Glycemic variability (GV) is a common issue in critically ill patients, and this study explored its impact on 28-day mortality through a multicenter analysis involving 578 patients across five ICUs in Turkey.
- The study tracked several glycemic parameters within the first 24 hours, finding significant differences in CV (coefficient of variation), SD (standard deviation), and MGD (maximal-minimal glucose difference) between survivors and non-survivors, with higher levels linked to increased mortality risk.
- Results indicated that CV is an independent risk factor for mortality, with a strong correlation with MGD, suggesting that monitoring these glycemic metrics could be critical for predicting patient outcomes in intensive care settings.
Objective: The aim of this study is to compare total hip prosthesis (THP), partial hip prosthesis (PHP), and proximal femoral nail (PFN) patients in terms of the chosen anesthetic method.
Methods: A total of 850 patients who underwent hip surgery were divided into 3 groups according to the operation type: PHP (n=281), PFN (n=393), and THP (n=176). The type of anesthesia administered, interventions during anesthesia, and complications were retrospectively evaluated.
Effects of positive end-expiratory pressure on arthroscopic shoulder surgery under general anesthesia.

Objective: Our study is a prospective, randomized study on patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery in the beach-chair position to evaluate the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on hemodynamic stability, providing a bloodless surgical field and surgical satisfaction.
Methods: Fifty patients were divided into two groups. Group I (n=25) had zero end-expiratory pressure (ZEEP) administered under general anesthesia, and group II (n=25) had +5 PEEP administered.
Objectives: To compare midazolam and propofol sedation in hypoalbuminemic geriatric patients under spinal anesthesia in hip surgery with bispectral index monitoring.
Methods: This prospective and randomized study was completed in the Department of Anesthesiology, Okmeydani Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey between February 2013 and December 2014. Sixty patients undergoing elective hip surgery under spinal anesthesia in the geriatric age group with albumin levels below 3 g/dl were randomly divided into Group I and Group II.
Objective: A prospective, randomized and double-blind study was planned to identify the optimum dose of esmolol infusion to suppress the increase in bispectral index values and the movement and hemodynamic responses to tracheal intubation.
Materials And Methods: 120 patients were randomly allocated to one of three groups in a double-blind fashion. 2.
Background And Objectives: Guillain-Barré Syndrome is one of the most common causes of acute polyneuropathy in adults. Recently, the occurrence of Guillain-Barré Syndrome after major and minor surgical operations has been increasingly debated. In Guillain-Barré syndrome, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion and dysautonomy are generally observed after maximal motor deficit.
