Randomised controlled trial (RCT) abstracts published in journal articles have traditionally been deficient of crucial information. To improve the quality RCT abstracts, January 2008, Consolidated Standards Reporting Trial (CONSORT) group a checklist essential information for inclusion. The current study assessed whether there has an improvement main anaesthesia journals since this new guideline was introduced.Articles involving human RCTs four high-profile (Anaesthesia, Anesthesia &...

<i>Objective:</i> The aim of this study was to compare the postoperative analgesic effects preoperative intravenous (i.v.) paracetamol, diclofenac sodium and lornoxicam (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). <i>Subjects Methods:</i> Sixty patients with impacted third molar who underwent surgical removal were randomly allocated into three groups: group P (n = 20), D 20) L 20). Group received preoperatively 1 g paracetamol i.v., 75 mg i.m. 8 i.v. Postoperative pain...

We aimed to compare cuffed and uncuffed endotracheal tubes (ETTs) with ProSealTM laryngeal mask airway (PLMA) in terms of security extubation, starting out from the hypothesis that PLMA will provide alternative safety tubes, complications be less observed. After obtaining approval local Ethics Committee parental informed consent, 120 pediatric patients 1-24 months old, American Society Anesthesiologists physical status I-II, requiring general anesthesia for elective lower abdominal surgery,...

The aim of this randomized, prospective and double blinded study is to investigate effects different esmolol use on hemodynamic response laryngoscopy, endotracheal intubation sternotomy in coronary artery bypass graft surgery.After approval local ethics committee patients' written informed consent, 45 patients were randomized into three groups equally. In Infusion Group; from 10 min before up 5th minute after sternotomy, 0.5mg/kg/min infusion, Bolus 2 1.5mg/kg IV bolus Control %0.9 NaCl was...

Background: This study was performed to investigate airway complications related Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) use in a selected group of paediatric patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery. Methods: Ninety‐four were enrolled. LMA inserted under deep general anaesthesia with the standard technique previously described by Brain. Complications during induction, insertion LMA, maintenance anaesthesia, removal emergence and on first postoperative day recorded. Failure insertion, desaturation,...

Preoperative ultrasonographic evaluation of the thyroid gland done by surgeons could let us foresee airway management challenges. The aim this observational study was to evaluate effects thyroid-related parameters assessed preoperatively via ultrasonography and chest X-ray on intubation conditions.Fifty patients undergoing surgery were enrolled. Thyromental distance, Mallampati score, neck circumference range movement evaluated before operation. Thyroid volume, signs invasion or compression...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence coughing and breath holding in patients undergoing lumbar surgery extubated prone position, supine or position with intravenous lidocaine before extubation. About 105 ASA I II were group P (n = 35), S 35) 1.5 mg/kg 10 minutes extubation SL 35). number who coughed demonstrated noted at emergence period. time loss monitoring while repositioning patient recorded. frequency cough higher compared 1 minute after (P 0.008). Two three extubation,...

o objetivo deste estudo prospectivo, randômico e duplo‐cego foi investigar os efeitos do uso diferente de esmolol na resposta hemodinâmica à laringoscopia, intubação orotraqueal esternotomia em cirurgia revascularização coronária. após obter a aprovação Comitê Ética local consentimento informado assinado pelos pacientes, 45 pacientes foram randomicamente divididos três grupos. O Grupo I (infusão) recebeu 0,5 mg/kg/min infusão partir 10 min antes da até 5 minutos esternotomia; Brupo B (bolus)...

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...

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease characterized by the accumulation of lipoproteinaceous material within spaces. Whole-lung lavage (WLL) has been most common therapeutic intervention for this disorder. However, patients presenting with PAP are usually hypoxemic or in poor clinical condition, and WLL may be impossible to perform. In such cases, multiple segmental (MSL) advocated as first-choice therapy prior WLL. Herein, we present two cases idiopathic treated...

Obstetric anesthesia is one of the high risk subspecialties practice.Anesthesia related complications are sixth leading cause maternal mortality.Difficult or failed intubation following induction general for CS remains major contributory factor to anesthesia-related complications.The airway management obstetric patients a challenging issue several reasons.Anatomic and physiologic changes pregnancy may increase difficult rates compared surgical population.Proper evaluation anatomy structures...

Liver resection for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) with invasion of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and hepatic veins (HV) is a challenging procedure. We report case 63-year-old woman 6-cm, centrally located liver mass. Her biochemistry results were normal except Ca19–9 level 1199 U/ml. The biopsy was consistent ICC 60% macrosteatosis. Abdominal CT scans revealed large central mass invading left HV, middle HV right infringing on their junction cava. An operation planned using...

We investigated the effects of four different anaesthesia induction protocols on haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation during rapid-sequence (RSI) in systolic hypertensive patients.One hundred twenty adult patients (systolic pressure >140 mmHg diastolic <90 mmHg), classified according American Association Anesthesiologists as Class II III were randomized into groups. After pre-oxygenation for 3 minutes, performed by blinded investigators, who also scored intubation....

Anatomical variation in the internal jugular vein (IJV), as well its small size, tendency to collapse, and proximity common carotid artery (CCA) makes central venous cannulation via IJV a technically challenging procedure, especially pediatric patients.We evaluated effects of laryngeal mask airway insertion endotracheal intubation (ETT) on anatomical relationship between CCA neutral 40° head away positions.After parental consent 92 patients with ASA physical status I-II, aged 0-17,...
