[Awareness detection in anaesthesia during otorhino-maxillofacial surgery using bispectral index-monitoring technology].

Introduction: Awareness is characterized by intraoperative presence of consciousness and recollecting of the events occurring during general anaesthesia. The study was aimed at detecting awareness during general anaesthesia in otorhino-maxillofacial procedure.

Methods: The study is a part of a prospective, phase IV academic study carried out at the Department for Otorhinolaringology, Clinical Centre of Serbia, and Maxillofacial Surgery.

[Anesthetic dose correction in hospital pharmacology using bispectral index monitoring technology].

Introduction: Modern hospital pharmacology insists on assessing each patient's individual characteristics because of their influence on drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic effect. The study was aimed at evaluating anesthetic doses in patients with benign larynx tumors treated by general endotracheal anesthesia during endoscopic surgery procedures.

Material And Methods: The study is a part of a prospective, phase IV, academic study carried out at the Clinical Center of Serbia.

[Costs of anesthetics and other drugs in anesthesia].

Introduction: Drugs are real and transparent costs of treatment, which are subject to constant monitoring and changes. The study was aimed at measuring and analyzing consumption of anesthetics and other drugs in anesthesia in the Clinical Centre of Serbia.

Material And Methods: This paper is part of a five-year (2005-2009), academic, pharmacoeconomic retrospective-prospective study (the 4th phase).

[Radiotherapeutical chromosomal aberrations in laryngeal cancer patients].

Introduction: The authors present the results of cytogenetic analysis of 21 patients with laryngeal carcinomas diagnosed and treated in the period 1995-2000 at the Institute of Otorhinolaryngology and Maxillofacial Surgery, Clinical Center of Serbia and Clinical Center of Novi Sad.

Material And Methods: The patients were specially monitored and the material was analyzed at the Institute of Human Genetics of the School of Medicine in Belgrade as well as in the Laboratory for Radiological Protection of the Institute of Occupational and Radiological Health "Dr Dragomir Karajovic" in Belgrade.

Results: The incidence of chromosomal aberrations and incidence of exchange of material between sister chromatids were observed in the preparation of the metaphasic lymphocyte chromosomes of the peripheral blood obtained in the culture.

Antibiotic consumption monitoring at the Institute of Otorhinolaryngology and Maxillofacial Surgery--Clinical Center of Serbia in 2001-2003.

Background: At the Clinical Center of Serbia (CCS), which includes 21 Institutes and 6 Centers, approximately 10% of the total annual budgetary funds is spent on the drugs. During the studied period, it was estimated that 0.5% of the above amount has been spent at the Institute for Otorhinolaryngology and Maxillofacial surgery (Institute for ORL and MFS), Clinical Center of Serbia.
