The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI)-based linguistic models has revolutionized academic writing, prompting concerns about integrity. In response, AI-powered text authenticity detectors have been developed. This study examines AI tool usage in anesthesiology and intensive care journals. 1268 articles from 86 journals “Anesthesiology” “Anesthesiology Intensive Care” were analyzed using Copyleaks ZeroGPT. English abstracts published between April 18 May 18, 2023, scrutinized. ZeroGPT...

The α2-agonist dexmedetomidine (Dex), a sedative and analgesic, reduces heart rate (HR) blood pressure, has been used in the practice of anesthesia. In this study, we aimed to evaluate effects Dex on hemodynamic variables, anesthetic sparing effects, recovery profiles patients who underwent surgery prone position. position itself can cause decrease systemic pressure. Forty undergo lumbar discectomy were randomly assigned receive either (a loading dose 1 μg/ kg 10 minutes followed by an...

Sir, Anisocoria (a unilateral dilated pupil) in critical care patients is a point of concern, which warrants thorough examination and often, also, costly investigations to rule out serious cause.[1] A 48-year-old female patient transferred our intensive for further management respiratory failure due fungal pneumonia. After 12 hours from admission, her nurse noticed that, right pupil was both normal size responsiveness light, left fully [Figure 1]. Examination the cranial nerves showed no...

Patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery frequently require nasal intubation. Although awake fiberoptic intubation is the procedure of choice, a bronchoscope (FOB) may not be available in all clinics. Furthermore, itself requires skill and experience, cannot used when view obstructed by bleeding or secretions. Herein we describe 3 patients whom oral to endotracheal tube exchange was accomplished with aid nasogastric after placement an LMA CTrachTM, as no FOB available.

There are limited data in the literature investigating effects of anesthetic agents on cardiac output used chest-knee position. The aim this study is to compare inhalation and total intravenous anesthesia patients undergoing lumbar discectomy Materials methods: Forty position were allocated 2 groups. first group (GrS, n = 20) received sevoflurane after thiopental induction, while second (GrP, propofol induction infusion. Heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), peripheral oxygen...

This study was designed to test the hypothesis that propofol, ketamine, and midazolam could alter contractile activity of detrusor smooth muscle.Four muscle strips isolated from each rat bladder (n = 12) were placed in 4 tissue baths containing Krebs-Henseleit solution. The carbachol (10 (-8)to 10(-4)mol/L)-induced responses as well 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 Hz electrical field stimulation (EFS)-evoked muscles recorded using isometric contraction measurements. After obtaining basal responses,...

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the effects dexmedetomidine (DEX) infusion on pulmonary artery pressures (PAP), heart rate (HR), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in pigs. secondary evaluate whether DEX via has any beneficial effect over peripheral IV route.Sixteen healthy male pigs (25-35 kg) scheduled for laparoscopy training were used study. animals randomly allocated into two groups: Group I (n = 9): A loading dose 1 μg/kg was administered 10 minutes followed by an 0.5...

Propofol is an intravenous general anesthetic with a primary hypnotic effect. Memantine NMDA receptor antagonist that has been shown to reverse changes in memory and synaptic plasticity animal models. This study aims investigates whether propofol and/or memantine any effects on erythrocyte deformability.24 Wistar albino rats were divided randomly into four groups. Group P received 150 mg.kg-1 intraperitoneally (ip); M 1 PM ip 30 minutes before the administration of propofol; control group...

In the current study we aim to investigate effects of vitamin C and profol on red blood cell deformability in diabetic rats.Twenty- eight Wistar Albino rats were included after streptozocin (60 mg/kg) treatment for 4 weeks observation diabetes presence. Twenty-eight allocated groups. group DP (n = 7) 150 mg.kg-1 propofol was injected intraperitoneally. DP-vit 100 mg/kg (Ascorbic acid, Redoxon® 1000 mg/5 mL - Roche) applied one hour before administrating propofol, while control 7), received...

Background/aim: Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a method for postoperative pain management. Studies on children are gradually increasing. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate effectiveness TAP control, its side effects, and parental satisfaction levels in children. Material methods: Study included patients operated between January 2019 December 2020 Gazi University Faculty Medicine. Total 97 (35 girls, 62 boys) 5 18 years who had an ultrasound guided lower abdominal...

As it can easily be performed at the bedside with minimal morbidity, percutaneous dilatational tracheotomy (PDT) is preferred over surgical tracheotomy. The aim of this study to compare effects different PDT techniques on posterior tracheal wall injury.The was conducted Gazi University Laparoscopy Training Center after approval granted by ethics committee. After sedation xylazine/ketamine, electrocardiography, peripheral oxygen saturation, and blood pressure were monitored. Propofol used...

A literature review revealed no data on the effects of topical anaesthetic patient comfort during flexible sigmoidoscopy. We therefore aimed to evaluate this in a randomized manner.One hundred and forty-six patients who underwent sigmoidoscopy were randomly allocated one three groups. Vaseline (n = 49), 2% lidocaine gel 51) or cream 2.5% plus prilocaine 46) applied 30 min before procedure. Demographic haemodynamic monitoring procedures recorded. Pain was assessed by visual analogue scale...

Increased intracranial pressure following trauma and subsequent possible development of brain death are important factors for morbidity mortality due to ischemic changes. We aimed establish the role modified albumin (IMA) in early diagnosis process, starting with increased ending death.Eighteen Wistar-Albino rats were divided into three groups; control (CG, n = 6), (ICPG, (BDG, 6). Intracranial elevation constituted inflation a balloon Fogarty catheter epidural space. In all groups, blood...

In this report, we present a 37-year-old male with ruptured right sinus of Valsalva. He was treated by percutaneous closure the rupture using retrograde approach. The procedure performed successfully within 26 minutes. We think approach may be used in future instead antegrade

Objective: The attenuation of renal ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury by stimulating cholinergic antiinflamatory pathway has been demonstrated in the literature. purpose this study is to investigate protective effects epibatidine, a non selective nicotinic acethycholine receptor agonist, administered before on ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods: After Ethics Committee approval, 24 Wistar Albino rats were randomly allocated into 4 groups. Group S: Sham (n=6), I/R: Ischemia/reperfusion...
