Purpose: Ultrasound (US) is increasingly used for transforaminal approaches. We evaluated whether fusing computed tomography (CT) images with dynamic US could be based on bony and surface landmarks in two phantom models.
Methods: Recordings were performed in a gelatin-based sonographic phantom and in a computerized imaging reference system training phantom.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined how the type of fluid (colloids vs. crystalloids) affects postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in female surgical patients, specifically during gynecological or breast surgeries.
- The research involved 115 women and compared the effects of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) and normal saline on PONV rates and other postoperative factors like pain and need for antiemetics.
- Results showed no significant difference in nausea or vomiting rates between the two groups, suggesting that for surgeries with minimal blood loss, the choice of fluid has little impact on PONV.
