Aims: Comparison of the use of I-gel and Laringeal Mask Airway (LMA) Protector in laparoscopic cholecystectomy regarding the time and ease of insertion for supraglottic airway devices (SAD) and gastric tube (GT), airway sealing capacity, and postoperative complications.
Patients And Methods: Sixty-four American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) I-III patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly allocated into two groups. After anesthesia induction, LMA Protector was inserted in Group LPRO (LMA Protector) (n = 33) and I-gel was inserted in Group IGEL (I-gel) (n = 31) patients.
Background/aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of general anaesthesia and ultrasonography-guided interscalene block on pain and oxidative stress evaluated by thiol-disulphide balance and C-reactive protein levels in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy.
Materials And Methods: A total of 42 patients aged 18-75 years who were scheduled to undergo shoulder arthroscopy were randomised into interscalene block group (Group-IB, n = 20) and general anaesthesia group (Group-GA, n = 22). All patients received patient-controlled analgesia during the postoperative period.
Background And Objectives: Minimal-flow anesthesia provides various advantages, such as reduced environmental pollution, proper humidification and warming of anesthetic gases, and reduced costs. The aim of this study was to compare the cost-effectiveness of minimal-flow sevoflurane and desflurane anesthesia and their effects on hemodynamics, postoperative recovery, respiratory parameters, and liver and kidney functions.
Methods: A total of 60 ASA I-II patients aged 18-70 years who underwent posterior spinal instrumentation were included in the study.
Background And Objectives: The risk of emergence agitation (EA) is high in patients undergoing nasal surgery. The aim of the present study was to investigate the incidence of EA in adults undergoing septoplasty and the effect of ketamine on EA.
Methods: In this randomized study, a total of 102 ASA I-II patients who underwent septoplasty between July 2018 and April 2019 were divided into two groups: ketamine (Group-K, n=52) and saline (Group-S, n=50).
Objectives: To compare the effects of sevoflurane, desflurane, and propofol on respiratory mechanics, and integrated pulmonary index (IPI) scores in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Methods: A total of 60 patients with a body mass index of ≥40 kg/m2, who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy between September 2015 and September 2016 at Fatih Sultan Mehmet Health Application and Research Center, Istanbul, Turkey were included in this randomized prospective study. After induction, anesthesia was maintained by sevoflurane in group S, desflurane in group D, and propofol in group P.
