Background This study evaluated the effectiveness of large language models (LLMs), specifically ChatGPT 4o and a custom-designed model, Meta-Analysis Librarian, in generating accurate search strings for systematic reviews (SRs) field anesthesiology. Methods We selected 85 SRs from top 10 anesthesiology journals, according to Web Science rankings, extracted reference lists as benchmarks. Using titles input, we generated four per SR: three with using general prompts one Librarian which follows...

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) causes significant postoperative pain, necessitating effective multimodal analgesia strategies.This study evaluated the efficacy of external oblique intercostal block (EOIB) in this context. Methods: This prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blind conducted between April and December 2023 included 60 patients who underwent LSG.Patients were divided into EOIB (30 ml 0.25% bupivacaine/side) control (no block) groups.The primary outcome...

BACKGROUND Breast surgery is frequently associated with significant acute postoperative pain, necessitating effective pain management strategies. Both thoracic paravertebral block (PVB) and interpectoral plane pectoserratus (IP+PS) blocks have been used to relieve after breast surgery. OBJECTIVE In this systematic review meta-analysis trial sequential analysis, we aimed identify the optimal analgesic technique for achieving relief in The primary outcome of study was opioid consumption...

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, bidirectional endoskopi işlemlerinde (özofagogastroduodenoskopi [ÖGD] ve kolonoskopi) anestezistlerin prosedür sırası tercihlerini bu tercihlere etki eden faktörleri değerlendirmektir. Gereç Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı kesitsel tasarımda yürütülen anket çalışması, Kasım-Aralık 2024 tarihleri arasında Türkiye genelinde ameliyathane dışı anestezi uygulamalarında deneyimli anestezistlere çevrim içi platformlar aracılığıyla uygulanmıştır.

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background:</bold> Pediatric patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal (GI) interventions frequently require sedation and analgesia due to the challenges associated with endoscopic probe placement, particularly gag reflex. This study investigates effects of nebulized dexmedetomidine as a premedication on reflex in pediatric endoscopy. <bold>Methods:</bold> We conducted single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial at Gastroenterology Clinic Ondokuz...

We aimed to compare the effectiveness of bilateral erector spinae plane (ESP) block and superficial parasternal intercostal (S-PIP) + ESP in acute post-sternotomy pain following cardiac surgery.

Abstract Introduction Recovery from anesthesia is complex and affected by multiple factors. In patient with obesity, the increased prevalence of anxiety depressive disorders poses a challenge in achieving optimal satisfaction. Therefore, strategies to enhance quality recovery are crucial for this population. This study aimed investigate whether administration dexamethasone patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) could improve outcomes. Methods prospective observational was...

Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) may provide sufficient postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic nephrectomy (LSN) by ensuring ipsilateral somatic and visceral analgesia. However, there are serious reservations due to the complexity of technique, various complications thereof. Subcostal anterior quadratus lumborum (S-QLB3) be a safe alternative LSN procedures. Therefore, this study aimed compare analgesic effects TPVB S-QLB3.This prospective, randomized, double-blind included 60 patients...

This review assesses the efficacy of inhalation anesthetics and propofol in cardiac surgery, primarily focusing on their impact myocardial protection subsequent clinical outcomes. The provides a concise summary current scientific information regarding protective efects propofol, particularly context ischemia-reperfusion injury during surgery. delves into mechanisms action discusses studies comparing 2 anesthetic strategies mortality, complication rates, length hospital stay. Inhalation...

Inability to remain motionless owing pain during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may increase the need for sedation and analgesia. Here, we present a case where ultrasound-guided sacral erector spinae plane block (ESPB) was used successfully management an MRI in patient suffering from severe pain. Sacral ESPB performed with total of 30 mL 0.25% bupivacaine at level intermediate crest. The achieved sensory L5–S4 dermatomes without motor block, resulting complete relief. This report...

Introduction In this study, our objective was to compare the lateral sagittal infraclavicular block (LS-ICB) with costoclavicular (CC-ICB) for ultrasound (US)-guided brachial plexus in terms of dynamics as well patient and surgeon satisfaction levels. Methods A total 100 patients, falling under American Society Anaesthesiologists (ASA) I-III categories, who were aged 18-65 years scheduled elective forearm hand surgery enrolled study. The patients randomly allocated receive a US-guided LS-ICB...

Colorectal cancer is quite common, and surgery the most effective treatment for patients. However, postoperative pain management generally inadequate in This study aimed to determine effect of ultrasonography (USG)-guided preemptive erector spina plan block (ESPB), as part multimodal analgesia, on analgesia patients undergoing colorectal surgery. METHODS: a prospective, randomized, single-blind trial. included 60 (ASA I-II) who underwent at hospital Ondokuz Mayis University. The were divided...

Cerebral oximetry, employing near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) through a transcutaneous membrane, is non-invasive monitoring method designed to assess average regional tissue oxygenation in the frontal cortex. The literature consistently underscores its invaluable role gauging cerebral oxygen levels throughout perioperative period. Notably, guidelines routinely recommend use of NIRS adult cardiac surgery. In contrast, arterial blood gas analysis remains standard practice surgery measure...
