Introduction: Hip fracture surgeries in patients present significant challenges, particularly in managing pain during spinal anesthesia positioning. The Pericapsular Nerve Group Block (PENG) has shown promise in addressing this issue, but the ideal volume of local anesthetic for PENG is still uncertain. In our study, we aimed to analyze the effects of administering PENG block with two different volumes on analgesic quality for patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.

- * Conducted over three years, the study included elderly patients with moderate to severe aortic stenosis, evaluating their demographics, hemodynamics, and outcomes after surgery under low-dose spinal anesthesia.
- * The results indicated a notable mortality rate of 8.9% at 30 days and 24.4% at 180 days, but the procedure was generally safe, with low complication rates and quick onset of nerve block, suggesting this anesthesia approach is viable for such high-risk patients.
Background: Cesarean section is becoming increasingly common. Well-managed postoperative analgesia improves patient comfort while encouraging early ambulation and breastfeeding. The analgesic efficacy of transversalis facial plane block (TFPB) vs.

In our study, we aim to carry out the medical analysis of the earthquake victims who came to our hospital after the Earthquake in the Aegean Sea and to share our clinical experiences.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients the medical data records of earthquake victims brought to our hospital or the injured who applied due to the Aegean Sea earthquake.
Objective: Anxiety, stress and burnout are observed in healthcare workers during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study aimed to determine the levels of anxiety and burnout and related risk factors in the healthcare workers and assistant personnel at a tertiary referral university hospital.
Method: Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and a sociodemographic questionnaire were delivered on-line to all employees of our hospital.
Objective: Despite the rapid increase in economy and general scientific activities, it is thought that the same increase may not be seen in publication quality. We aimed at evaluating the current scientific performance of our country in the field of anaesthesiology in international journals with a high impact value from 2008 to the present.
Methods: The list of anaesthesiology journals in the Science Citation Index (SCI) and SCI-Expanded (SCI/SCI-E) index and the ISSN numbers were obtained.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of sufentanil added to low-dose hyperbaric bupivacaine in unilateral spinal anaesthesia for outpatients undergoing knee arthroscopy.
Methods: Sixty two patients (ASA I-II) aged 20 to 50 who were planning on undergoing a knee arthroscopy were enrolled in this study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups.
Background And Objectives: In this study, our goal was to compare intraoperative and postoperative analgesic effects of lornoxicam and fentanyl when added to lidocaine Intravenous Regional Anesthesia (IVRA) in a group of outpatients who underwent hand surgery.
Methods: This is a double blind randomized study. A total of 45 patients were included, randomized into three groups.
Background And Objectives: The increased intraocular pressure (IOP) - which decreases perfusion pressure on the optic nerve - increases by prone positioning (1). The aim of our study was to compare the effect of head rotation 45° laterally in prone position on the increase in IOP of upper placed and lower placed eyes in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
Methods: Forty-five patients were randomly divided into 2 Groups.

Background: The objective of the present study was to explore the effects of deficiencies in glucose regulation on the onset, regression, and block performance times in a group of patients with diabetes-related foot problems.
Methods: Forty-eight patients with American Society of Anesthetists physical status 2-4 undergoing foot and ankle surgery with a popliteal fossa block were prospectively studied. Patients were stratified into cohorts based on 3 groups according to their HbA1c levels: group 1 (n = 15), HbA1c 5%-6%; group 2 (n = 16), HbA1c 7%-8%; group 3 (n = 17), HbA1c 9%-10%.
Background: In this study, we hypothesized that leg positioning and distal tourniquet application, when compared with neutral positioning of the leg, alters the efficacy of sciatic nerve block performed by the double-stimulation technique.
Methods: Ninety randomized, consecutive, ASA physical status I to III patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery with a popliteal fossa block (using a double-stimulation technique with the patient in prone position) were prospectively studied. Patients were randomized to have the blocked leg either kept in a neutral position immediately after the patient was turned supine (group 1), flexed 45 degrees at the thigh and maintained in that position for 15 minutes (group 2), or have a distal tourniquet applied with the leg in a neutral position and inflated during injection of the local anesthetic with the patient supine (group 3).
