Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major risk factor for perioperative adverse events. However, no screening tool OSA has been validated in surgical patients. This study was conducted to develop and validate concise easy-to-use questionnaire patients.After hospital ethics approval, preoperative patients aged 18 yr or older without previously diagnosed were recruited. After analysis, reliability check, pilot study; four yes/no questions used this tool. The respectively related snoring,...
The present guidelines are the most recent data on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) an update 2 previous sets of published in 2003 2007. These were compiled by a multidisciplinary international panel individuals with interest expertise PONV under auspices Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia. members critically systematically evaluated current medical literature to provide evidence-based reference tool management adults children who undergoing surgery at increased risk PONV. identify...
There exists a high prevalence of OSA in the general population, great proportion which remains undiagnosed. The snoring, tiredness, observed apnea, BP, BMI, age, neck circumference, and male gender (STOP-Bang) questionnaire was specifically developed to meet need for reliable, concise, easy-to-use screening tool. It consists eight dichotomous (yes/no) items related clinical features sleep apnea. total score ranges from 0 8. Patients can be classified risk based on their respective scores....
The STOP-Bang questionnaire is used to screen patients for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). We evaluated the association between scores and probability of OSA.After Institutional Review Board approval, who visited preoperative clinics a scheduled inpatient surgery were approached informed consent. Patients answered STOP underwent either laboratory or portable polysomnography (PSG). PSG recordings scored manually. BMI, age, neck circumference, gender (Bang) documented. Over 4 yr, 6369 1312...
In Brief The present guidelines were compiled by a multidisciplinary international panel of individuals with interest and expertise in postoperative nausea vomiting (PONV) under the auspices Society Ambulatory Anesthesia. critically evaluated current medical literature on PONV to provide an evidence-based reference tool for management adults children who are undergoing surgery at increased risk PONV. brief, these identify factors children; recommend approaches reducing baseline risks PONV;...
Background Iletrospective studies fail to identify predictors of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). The authors prospectively studied 17,638 consecutive outpatients who had surgery predictors. Methods Data on medical conditions, anesthesia, surgery, PONV were collected in the post-anesthesia care unit, ambulatory surgical telephone interviews conducted 24 h after surgery. Multiple logistic regression with backward stepwise elimination was used develop a predictive model An independent...
Background Because of the high prevalence obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its adverse impact on perioperative outcome, a practical screening tool for surgical patients is required. This study was conducted to validate Berlin questionnaire American Society Anesthesiologists (ASA) checklist in compare them with STOP questionnaire. Methods After hospital ethics approval, preoperative aged 18 yr or older without previously diagnosed OSA were recruited. The scores from questionnaire, ASA...
Background: Topical application of tranexamic acid to bleeding wound surfaces reduces blood loss in patients undergoing some major surgeries, without systemic complications. The objective the present trial was assess efficacy and safety topical on postoperative primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty with cement. Methods: In a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 124 were randomized receive 1.5 or 3.0 g 100 mL normal saline solution an equivalent volume placebo (normal...
Postoperative pain is a common reason for the delayed discharge and unanticipated hospital admission of out-patients. In this study, we examined pattern in ambulatory surgical patients determined those factors that predict postoperative pain. Ten thousand eight consecutive were prospectively studied. Preoperative patient characteristics, intraoperative variables, postanesthesia care unit (PACU) (ASU) 24 h postoperatively documented. The incidence severe was 5.3% PACU, 1.7% ASU,...
