Anesthesia leads to impairments in central and peripheral thermoregulatory responses. Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia is hence a common complication, associated with coagulopathy, increased surgical site infection, delayed drug metabolism, prolonged recovery, shivering. However, surveys across the world have shown poor compliance temperature management guidelines. Therefore, we evaluated prevalent practices attitudes Asia-Pacific region, determined individual institutional factors that...
Abstract Aim To evaluate the effectiveness of Glyde™ File Prep used in conjunction with sodium hypochlorite irrigation removal smear layer produced during root canal instrumentation. Methodology Thirty‐nine extracted human teeth single canals were used. Access cavities prepared and divided into three groups 13 each. Each group was treated by one different regimes conditioning Group A: 0.5 mL 1% NaOCl after each file size an additional final 10 NaOCl; B: 17% EDTA; C: coated on instrumentation...
Introduction Teaching endotracheal intubation is uniquely challenging due to its technical, high-stakes, and highly time-sensitive nature. The GoPro a small, lightweight, high-resolution action camera with wide-angle field of view that can encompass both the airway as well procedurist’s hands positioning technique when worn head mount. We aimed evaluate effectiveness in improving teaching for novice learners simulated setting, via two-arm, parallel group, randomized controlled superiority...
Trigeminal neuralgia is a debilitating craniofacial pain syndrome that characterized by paroxysms of intense, short-lived electric shock-like pains in the trigeminal nerve distribution. Recently, presence triggers has become one key diagnostic criteria 3rd edition International Classification Headache Disorders. Light touch most common trigger, however other non-mechanical triggers, such as cold weather and certain foods, have been thought to provoke anecdotally. We aimed characterize...
Background: Low dose neuromuscular blockers, typically <2×ED95 or <0.46 mg/kg, have been shown to improve conditions of Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) placement and ease ventilation during general anesthesia (GA), but its effects on the prevalence residual blockage (rNMB) is poorly defined. A previous study in a large tertiary institution showed that 19% patients undergoing GA with LMA received blockers. This aims audit practice establish rNMB. Methods: cross-sectional, observational was...
