Is Postoperative Pain Associated With Nausea and Vomiting Following Orthognathic Surgery?

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common adverse side-effect following orthognathic surgery, with pain potentially contributing as a risk factor.

Purpose: The study's purpose was to measure the association between postoperative pain and PONV.

Study Design, Setting, Sample: This prospective cohort study involved patients who underwent bimaxillary surgery at Erciyes University, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Hospital.

Effectiveness Of Computed Tomography-Guided Nasotracheal Intubation Procedure On Predicting Tube Advancement Difficulty And Preventing Epistaxis: A Prospective Case-Control Study.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of computed tomography-guided nasotracheal intubation procedure in predicting tube advancement difficulty and preventing epistaxis.

Methods: The prospective study was conducted at Erciyes University Faculty of Dentistry from April 2018 to June 2019 and comprised maxillofacial surgery patients of either gender aged 18-50 years who were due to undergo bimaxillary orthognathic surgery, which was defined as American Society of Anaesthesiology grade I or II. The space where the tube was to be passed in the internal nasal valve region was measured horizontally and vertically using computed tomography.

Effect of platelet indices on postoperative pain and edema in bimaxillary surgery.

Objectives: To investigate the influence of platelet volume indices (PVI) on postoperative pain and edema in patients undergoing bimaxillary surgery and assessed the associations between PVI parameters and other clinical factors.

Methods: We examined the medical records of 50 patients aged 18-40, treated between 2019 and 2020. Platelet indices (platelet count [PLT]), mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width, plateletcrit (PCT), and platelet large cell ratio) were analyzed.

A case of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage after orthognathic surgery: Case report with the literature review'.

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) disease is a rare but acutely developing condition that may occur after general anesthesia, if not diagnosed and treated on time, could be life-threatening. Orthognathic surgeries, frequently performed for functional and esthetic correction, are generally composed of a young population in their twenties with no other disease. The aim of presenting this case report was to describe the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of DAH to emphasize the importance of timely diagnosis.

Using Intravenous Ibuprofen for Preventive Analgesia in Orthognathic Surgery.

Purpose: Preventive analgesia aims to manage postoperative pain caused by nociceptive and central stimulation. The purpose of this study was to research the effect of a single-dose intravenous (IV) ibuprofen administration for preventive analgesia on postoperative pain management in orthognathic surgery.

Materials And Methods: This prospective, double blind, and randomized study was performed on a total of 40 adult patients who planned to undergo bimaxillary osteotomy, between 2018 and 2019.
