Comparison of the angle deviation of the nose line to the mentum and Mallampati test in predicting the difficult airway before anesthesia.

Introduction: A high percentage of dangerous events in anesthesia occur due to airway problems, and proper airway management is always one of the key points during anesthesia. Airway management in critically ill patients is one of the most stressful situations for primary care physicians and even for anesthesiologists. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anatomical features of patients' airways, including the angle of deviation of the nasal line from the nasal to the mentum (NMLD), and perform a Mallampati test.

Anatomical predicting factors of difficult spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing cesarean section: An observational study.

Objectives: Although Spinal anesthesia is the most common and safe anesthetic method for patients undergoing cesarean section, difficult access to it is a frequent problem in operating theaters. The predictive factors for the difficulty of spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing cesarean section were investigated.

Methods: A total of 110 pregnant women, single-stranded, aged 18-40 years old and ASA class I or II candidates for elective cesarean section with spinal anesthesia were studied.

The Determination of an Appropriate Time for Placement of the Classic Laryngeal Mask Airway in Patients Undergoing General Anesthesia.

Background: The management of the airways is an essential component of anesthesia planning. Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) plays an important role in modern anesthesia, however, intubation by LMA has some complications. It may cause inadequate anesthesia depth, which can lead to adverse events.

Baricity of Bupivacaine on Maternal Hemodynamics after Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Section: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: After spinal anesthesia, patients undergoing cesarean section are more likely to develop hemodynamic changes. The baricity of local anesthetic has an important role on spinal blockade effects. The aim of this study was to compare the isobar and hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.

The Anti-Edematous Effect of Ghrelin in Brain Hypoxia is Associated with Decreasing Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor.

There is increasing evidence that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a role in the development of vascular leakage in the hypoxic brain. Our recent work showed an anti-edematous effect of ghrelin on brain hypoxia. However, the underlying mechanisms by which ghrelin exerts its anti-edematous effect are still unclear.

Effects of preoperative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on pain mitigation and patients' shoulder performance following rotator cuff repair.

Purpose: Pain is one of the most important factors adversely affecting clinical outcomes of operated patients. The present study aims at evaluating effects of preoperative COX2 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory inhibitors on pain mitigation and performance of patients with shoulder rotator cuff tear.

Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 60 patients suffering from rotator cuff injury candidate for arthroscopic repair.

The effect of intravenous paracetamol on postoperative pain after lumbar discectomy.

Study Design: A randomized, double-blinded controlled trial.

Purpose: Postoperative pain relief especially using analgesic drugs with minimal side effects has considerable clinical importance. This study aimed to examine the effect of intravenous paracetamol on pain relief after lumbar discectomy as a major surgery.

Albumin and fibrinogen levels' relation with orthopedics traumatic patients' outcome after massive transfusion.

Background: Severe bleeding is common during limb trauma. It can lead to hemorrhagic shock required to massive blood transfusion. Coagulopathy is the major complication of massive transfusion-induced increased mortality rate.
