This study was designed to compare vascular complications and the outcomes of ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous cannulation with distal perfusion catheter (PC-DP) arterial side-graft (SGP) techniques in patients who require veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support for refractory cardiogenic shock (RCS).We conducted a retrospective, observational cohort consequtive RCS treated VA-ECMO at single transplant center from March 2010 until August 2015. Overall, 148...

It is hard to determine the appropriate size and correct tracheal position of endotracheal tube (ETT) in children. The aim this study diameter children by using ultrasonography technique as objective tool compare it with commonly used aged based formulas for ETT estimation.Patients undergoing elective surgery a tertiary children's hospital were prospectively enrolled. subglottic transverse was determined ultrasonography. An anesthesiologist who blind ultrasonographic examination, performed...

In this study, we aimed to compare ultrasoundguided versus bronchoscopy-guided percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy outcomes in critically ill adult patients undergoing a median sternotomy.Between January 2015 and December 2020, total of 54 (17 males, 37 females; mean age: 54.9±13.1 years; range, 39 77 years) who underwent elective ultrasound- or after sternotomy were included. We compared the ultrasound-guided group (n=25) with (n=29) regarding all-cause mortality complications. Safety...

Patient blood management (PBM) is a patient-centered, evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach aimed at optimizing hemoglobin concentration, ensuring the continuity of hemostasis and minimizing loss in patients undergoing surgery. The aims this study were: (1) to explore cost-effectiveness comprehensive anemia management, first pillar PBM, non-cardiac cardiac surgery from Turkish Social Security Institution's (SSI's) perspective; (2) potential budget impact PBM for coronary artery bypass...

Norepinephrine has been recently introduced for prophylaxis against post-spinal hypotension during cesarean delivery; however, no data are available regarding its optimum dosing scheme. The primary objective of this study is to compare three different infusion and bolus dose combinations norepinephrine delivery. This randomized, double-blind was performed between February 2021 May 2022. protocol registered at Clinicaltrials.gov with the identification number NCT04701190. A total 192...

Simulation-based education has become the most important part of resident training in anesthesiology, especially during pandemic. It allows learning skills and management different situations without putting residents risk contamination, considering COVID-19 is highly contagious. The hypothesis was that simulation still associated with improvement knowledge acquisitions despite context pandemic.Residents anesthesiology intensive care subjected to an anaphylaxis scenario. Their levels were...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between changes in inferior vena cava collapsibility index and subclavian vein patients undergoing passive leg raising tests intensive care unit, considering that respiratory affecting may similarly affect vein.

Debates continue about the cricoid pressure, which has been used for many years to prevent gastric aspiration during intubation. Using ultrasound, effects of this maneuver and alternatives like paralaryngeal pressure are revealed. The aim observational study was determine effect with an ultrasound probe on esophageal diameter in patients different body mass indexes neck circumferences.After measuring circumference at level cartilage, esophagus visualized by ultrasonography. Compression...

Background/Aim: Effective lung isolation is required in minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Double lumen tubes (DLT) are most preferred for this type of operation, and data on the use EZ blockers surgery limited. We aimed to compare efficiency double tube with cardiopulmonary bypass performed through a right mini thoracotomy. Methods: A total 89 patients who underwent thoracotomy between January 1 December 31, 2020, were included single-center, retrospective case control study. The group...
