The comparison between propofol and dexmedetomidine infusion on perioperative anxiety during regional anesthesia.

Background/aim: Regional anesthesia for surgery is associated with increased anxiety for patients. This study aimed to compare the effect of propofol and dexmedetomidine infusion on perioperative anxiety during regional anesthesia.

Materials And Methods: Eighty-four patients were randomly divided into two groups receiving either study drug infusion.

Effectiveness of P6 acupoint electrical stimulation in preventing postoperativenausea and vomiting following laparoscopic surgery.

Background/aim: The effects of pericardium 6 (P6) electrical stimulation in patients at risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) following laparoscopic surgery were evaluated.

Materials And Methods: Eighty patients for laparoscopic surgery with at least one of the determined risks (nonsmoker, female, previous PONV/motion sickness, or postoperative opioid use) were randomized into either an active or sham group. At the end of surgery, Reletex electrical acustimulation was placed at the P6 acupoint.

COMPARISON OF THE BONFILS INTUBATION FIBRESCOPE VERSUS C-MAC VIDEOLARYNGOSCOPE.

Background: This prospective, randomized, single blind, single operator study was conducted to compare hemodynamic responses when endotracheal intubation was performed using the Bonfils intubation fibrescope versus the C-MAC videolaryngoscope.

Method: Forty-four ASA I patients aged between 18 and 60 years, scheduled for elective surgery requiring endotracheal intubation were recruited. They were randomized into the Bonfils group or C-MAC group.
