Background: Bleeding during rhinoplasty leads to many undesirable effects, such as loss of vision in the surgery area, complications during the procedure, and postoperative complications. The most important effect that increases bleeding is hemodynamic changes during surgery. Considering that osteotomy is the most challenging process in rhinoplasty, this study aimed to examine the hemodynamic changes during osteotomy and changes in the depth of anesthesia.
Methods: A total of 50 patients, aged 18 to 65 years with an ASA (American Society of Anesthesiology) score of 1 and 2, who underwent osteotomy during rhinoplasty under general anesthesia, were examined retrospectively. After routine monitoring, the patients underwent general anesthesia induction and endotracheal intubation. Before the surgery, they received remifentanil 1 μg/kg as an intravenous bolus followed by 0.5 μg/(kg·min) as intravenous infusion until the end of the surgery. The hemodynamic parameters and depth of anesthesia [bispectral index (BIS) values] of the patients were examined before anesthesia, 10 minutes before osteotomy, during osteotomy, and 10 minutes after osteotomy.
Results: A significant difference was found in heart rate (beats/min), systolic and diastolic blood pressures (mm Hg), and BIS values of the patients measured before, during, and after osteotomy (P < 0.001). The heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and BIS values were significantly higher during osteotomy. Until the 10th minute after osteotomy, all 4 parameters nearly reached the values measured before osteotomy.
Conclusions: Osteotomy directly affects hemodynamic parameters and depth of anesthesia. Hence, it is of utmost importance that the analgesic need and depth of anesthesia are adequately monitored and adjusted during osteotomy. By suppressing hemodynamic stress responses, the amount of bleeding can be reduced, thus increasing the surgical success and the patient's comfort.

Background: In children, monitoring depth of anesthesia is challenging because of the still developing brain. Electroencephalographic density spectral array monitoring provides age- and anesthetic drug-specific electroencephalographic patterns, making it suitable for use in children. Yet, not much is known about the benefits of using density spectral array on post-operative recovery in children.

Background Femoral neuropathy is a significant postoperative complication in gynecological surgery that can severely impact patient mobility and quality of life. Among various mechanisms of nerve injury, retractor-induced compression against the pelvic sidewall has been identified as a particularly crucial causative factor. Despite this well-recognized mechanism and its clinical importance, few studies have investigated specific preventive strategies for this iatrogenic complication.

Background: Determining anesthetic depth has been used to assess the optimal timing of electrical stimulus application in electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). This has improved the quality and effectiveness of seizures, as some anesthetics used can decrease efficacy. This study evaluated the influence of the Patient State Index (PSi) on the course of ECT in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).

The formula-based estimation of the right internal jugular venous (IJV) catheterization depth can be inaccurate when using ultrasound guidance. External landmark-based and radiological landmark-based methods have been proposed as alternatives to estimate the insertion depth. This study aimed to evaluate these methods using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)-guided insertion depth as the reference.

Introduction: Accurate prognostication in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest is a challenging and high-stakes endeavor. We sought to determine whether internal EEG subparameters extracted by the Bispectral Index (BIS) monitor, a device commonly used to estimate depth-of-anesthesia intraoperatively, could be repurposed to predict recovery of consciousness after cardiac arrest.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we trained a 3-layer neural network to predict recovery of consciousness to the point of command following versus not based on 48 hours of continuous EEG recordings in 315 comatose patients admitted to a single US academic medical center after cardiac arrest (Derivation cohort: N=181; Validation cohort: N=134).
