Evaluation of rescue techniques following failed laryngoscopy: A multicenter prospective observational study.

Objective: The Fourth National Audit Project revealed that severe airway complications occur in the frequency of 1/22,000. Various rescue techniques were recommended in difficult airway guidelines. This study aims to evaluate the rescue techniques following failed direct laryngoscopy and analyze the success rates and potential complications during difficult airway management.

Prediction of Prognosis in Geriatric Palliative Care Patients with Diagnosed Malnutrition: A Comparison of Nutritional Assessment Parameters.

Objective: Malnutrition is very commonly encountered in palliative care centers (PCC), especially in geriatric patients. It is known that development of malnutrition increases morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of commonly used nutritional assessment parameters in predicting prognosis in geriatric patients diagnosed in PCC with malnutrition.

Residual neuromuscular block in the postanesthesia care unit: incidence, risk factors, and effect of neuromuscular monitoring and reversal agents.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of residual neuromuscular block (RNMB) in a tertiary care hospital. Secondary goals were to examine the characteristics of the use of intraoperative neuromuscular monitoring (NMM) and different reversal agents by the attending anesthesiologists, and to determine the factors related to the patient and perioperative processes on the development of RNMB.

Methods: The patients' arrival time at the postanesthesia care unit was accepted as point zero (T0).

The Effects of Lidocaine, Fentanyl, and Remifentanil on Hemodynamics and Intraocular Eye Pressure After Tracheal Intubation: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Objectives: An increased reflex in sympathetic and sympathoadrenal activity caused by tracheal intubation causes an increase in arterial blood pressure, and increased venous pressure causes an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP). The aim of the current study was to compare the effects of lidocaine, fentanyl, and remifentanil to determine which agent was most effective in the prevention of elevated IOP.

Methods: The patients were separated into 3 groups (lidocaine, fentanyl, and remifentanil).
