Caudal epidural block is a widely performed procedure for postoperative pain control of pediatric patients. As the local anesthetic acts by spreading cranially after caudal block, it may lead to several effects on cerebrospinal fluid and intracranial region. Children aged 1–7, ASA I-II were included in this study. The patient population was assigned into two groups as Block Group (Group CB) Control C) with 0.25% bupivacaine 1 ml/kg patients CB. Optic nerve sheath diameter measured at...

BACKGROUND After caesarean section, maternal postoperative comfort is critical to allow the new mother care for her baby. Insufficient pain relief during period may delay maternal/infant bonding and, in addition, such has been linked subsequent depression and chronic pain. Caesarean section commonly performed with a Pfannenstiel incision, transversalis fascia plane (TFP) block provides analgesia T12 L1 dermatomes. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was investigate effect TFP on opioid...

Ultrasound-guided plane blocks are increasingly used in the multi-modal analgesic concept for reducing opioid consumption. The present study was conducted to compare effect of intravenous non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and erector spinae (ESP) block renal colic patients.In this prospective randomised study, 40 patients with pain were randomly assigned into two groups: Group NSAID (n = 20) received an infusion 50 mg dexketoprofen trometamol ESP ultrasound-guided 30 ml 0.25%...

Background Clavicle fractures occur in 35% of shoulder girdle fractures. Surgical fixation is preferred, especially young patients for optimal functional outcomes, while nondisplaced are usually treated conservatively. Case A 38-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency services with a fracture left clavicle following fall. During preoperative evaluation, requested be awake during surgery. Combined supraclavicular and superficial cervical plexus block performed under ultrasound...

Objective: To evaluate the protective effects of IgM-enriched immunoglobulin and erythropoietin on pulmonary small intestine tissues in a rat model intra-abdominal sepsis induced via cecal ligation puncture (CLP) method.

Objectives: Studies investigating the effects of intravenous (IV) ketamine in pain management after septorhinoplasty is limited. This study aims to evaluate efficacy low-dose IV infusion on scores. Methods: randomized, prospective, double-blind was conducted with 48 patients who underwent septorhinoplasty. Intravenous bolus (0.5 mg/kg) administered group (group K, n = 24) at anesthesia induction, and continued (0.25 mg/kg/h) during surgery. In control C, 24), same protocol using saline...

The endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure is generally performed in patients with high comorbidity. We aimed to reduce the consumption of propofol by adding lidocaine before ERCP.Eighty ERCP ASA I-III, aged between 45-75 years, were randomly divided into two groups. Lidocaine group (group L, n = 40), received 1-mg midazolam, 1.5 mg/kg lidocaine, and 1 intravenously. control C, 40) saline same volume as group, Propofol was administered intermittent bolus doses....

Background.In the literature, it has been suggested that ketamine-related oxidative organ damage results from increased blood adrenaline level, and thiopental-related is caused by decreased suggesting ketamine-thiopental combination (KT) may be beneficial in reducing hepatotoxic effect of ketamine.Objectives.To biochemically investigate effects ketamine, thiopental KT on liver rats. Materials methods.Male albino Wistar type rats received intraperitoneally (ip.) 30 mg/kg ketamine alone (KG)...

Ultrasound-guided infraclavicular nerve block (IB) has become a well-established method in several outpatient procedures; however, its use emergency departments (EDs) remains limited. The aim of this study was to compare procedural sedation and anlagesia (PSA) IB the pain management for patients who underwent forearm fracture reduction ED.This prospective randomized included 60 aged 18 65 years, visited ED with fractures. They were randomly divided into two groups: Group PSA (n=30) (n=30)....

Objectives: HSG is an invasive diagnostic procedure that involves the radiographic evaluation of genital system after injection a radiopaque substance from cervical canal in infertile women. Preemptive intravenous ibuprofen commonly used for postoperative pain management. However, only limited number studies have reported use short-term painful procedures. This study aimed to investigate effectiveness management during HSG. Materials and methods: A total 91 patients planned undergo due...

Open surgery for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) may cause severe pain due to tenotomies and pelvic–femoral osteotomies. This study aims evaluate analgesic effect ultrasound-guided Lumbar Erector Spina Plane (L-ESP) Block in pediatric patients undergoing DDH surgery. Sixty children scheduled were randomly assigned into two groups. Group I (n = 30) received L-ESP with 0.5 mL/kg 0.25% bupivacaine before In contrast, II 30), as control group, same volume saline injection. Identical...

The post-operative analgesic efficacy of transversalis fascia plane (TFP) block is controversial in pediatric patients undergoing herniotomy. This study aims to compare the TFP and standard methods. Sixty aged 1-8 years who underwent open procedure herniotomy were randomly divided into two groups (n = 30) or control group 30). received 0.25% bupivacaine at 0.5 mL/kg. Routine analgesia protocol was applied Group C. Pain scores (FLACC), family satisfaction, complications, nausea, sedation...
