Objectives/hypothesis: The aim of the present study was to compare the surgical condition between deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) and moderate NMB.
Study Design: Multicenter, randomized, parallel intervention trial.
Methods: One hundred two patients underwent microscopic endolaryngeal surgery at four university hospitals.
Background: Respiratory complications are some of the most common complications following thoracic surgery and can lead to higher perioperative morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to develop a simple clinical score for prediction of respiratory complications after thoracic surgery, and determine the internal validity.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, all consecutive patients were aged 18 years and over and undergoing non-cardiac thoracic surgery at a tertiary-care university hospital.
The Effectiveness of Intravenous Parecoxib on the Incidence of Ipsilateral Shoulder Pain After Thoracotomy: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial.

Objectives: To determine the incidence of ipsilateral shoulder pain (ISP) with the therapeutic use of parecoxib compared with a placebo after thoracotomy.
Design: A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Setting: A tertiary-care university hospital.
Prognostic factors for death and survival with or without complications in cardiac arrest patients receiving CPR within 24 hours of anesthesia for emergency surgery.

November 2014
Purpose: To determine prognostic factors for death and survival with or without complications in cardiac arrest patients who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) within 24 hours of receiving anesthesia for emergency surgery.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective cohort study approved by the Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai University Hospital Ethical Committee. Data used were taken from records of 751 cardiac arrest patients who received their first CPR within 24 hours of anesthesia for emergency surgery between January 1, 2003 and October 31, 2011.
Purpose: To determine the incidence of and factors associated with perioperative cardiac arrest within 24 hours of receiving anesthesia for emergency surgery.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective cohort study was approved by the ethical committee of Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, Thailand. We reviewed the data of 44,339 patients receiving anesthesia for emergency surgery during the period from January 1, 2003 to March 31, 2011.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of and risk factors for cardiovascular complications after thoracic surgery for noncancerous lesions.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: A tertiary medical center.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of positive fluid balance on cardiovascular complications after thoracotomy for noncancer lesions.
Methods: After approval from an institutional review board, a retrospective cohort study was conducted. All consecutive patients undergoing thoracotomy between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2011 in a single medical center were recruited.
The initial success rate of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and its associated factors in patients with cardiac arrest within 24 hours after anesthesia for an emergency surgery.
Risk Manag Healthc Policy
April 2014
Purpose: To determine the initial success rate and its associated factors on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in patients with cardiac arrest within 24 hours after receiving anesthesia for an emergency surgery.
Patients And Methods: After the hospital ethical committee gave approval for this study, the anesthesia providers recorded all relevant data regarding CPR in patients with cardiac arrest within 24 hours after anesthesia for emergency surgery at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, a university hospital in Northern Thailand. Only data from the cardiac arrest patients who received the first CPR attempt were included in the analysis.
The effect of prophylactic dexmedetomidine on hemodynamic disturbances to double-lumen endotracheal intubation: a prospective, randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial.
Anesthesiol Res Pract
August 2013
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of dexmedetomidine on hemodynamic responses to DLT intubation compared to placebo and to assess the adverse effects related to dexmedetomidine. Sixty patients were randomly allocated to receive 0.7 μ g/kg dexmedetomidine (n = 30) or normal saline (n = 30) 10 minutes before general anesthesia.

Material And Method: A prospective descriptive multi-centered study of incident reports was conducted in 51 hospitals across Thailand from January to June 2007. Voluntary and anonymous reports of any adverse events during the first 24 hrs of anesthesia were sent to the Thai AIMS data management unit.
Objectives: To analyze the clinical course, outcome, contributing factors and factors minimizing the incidents of perioperative myocardial ischemia or infarction (PMI) from Thai AIMS study.
Material And Method: The present study was a prospective multicenter study. Data was collected from 51 hospitals in Thailand during a six-month period.
Objectives: Analyze the clinical course, management, outcome, and contributing factors of perioperative allergic reactions in the Thai Anesthesia Incident Monitoring Study (Thai AIMS).
Material And Method: A prospective descriptive multicenter study was conducted in 51 hospitals across Thailand Voluntary, anonymous reports of any adverse or undesirable events during the first 24 hours of anesthesia were sent to the Thai AIMS data management unit. Possible perioperative allergic reactions were extracted and examined independently by three peer reviewers.
