EFFECT OF COLLOID VS CRYSTALLOID PRELOAD ON HEMODYNAMIC STABILITY IN ELDERLY PATIENTS UNDERGOING LOWER LIMB ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY UNDER SPINAL ANESTHESIA

Crystalloid and colloid preload for maintaining cardiac output in elderly patients undergoing total hip replacement under spinal anesthesia

The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of colloid and crystalloid preload on cardiac output (CO) and incidence of hypotension in elderly patients under spinal anesthesia (SA). A randomized, double-blinded study was conducted including 47 elderly patients undergoing scheduled total hip replacement (THR), who were randomized to three groups: the control group (C group, n = 15), c...

Cerebrospinal Fluid and Spinal Anesthesia Parameters in Healthy Versus Opium-Addict Patients during Lower Limb Surgery

The effects of crystalloid and colloid preload on cardiac output in the parturient undergoing planned cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia: a randomized trial.

BACKGROUND Hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery remains a major clinical problem. Fluid preloading regimens together with vasopressors have been used to reduce its incidence. Previous studies have used noninvasive arterial blood pressure measurement and vasopressor requirements to evaluate the effect of preload. We used a suprasternal Doppler flow technique to measure mater...

Comparison of postanesthetic complaints after general and spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing lower limb surgery.

BACKGROUND The choice of anesthesia is one of the most important decisions made by anesthesiologists after preoperative visits with orthopedic patients. No published study has yet quantified the incidence of postanesthetic complaints for either technique. The present study was designed to compare the incidences of postanesthetic complaints after the application of the standardized techniques of...

Effect of the Sound of the Holy Quran on Vital Signs and Hemodynamic Changes in Patients Undergoing Orthopedic Surgery

Background and Purpose: The operating room environment is one of the stressful places. Listening to the Holy Quran can produce a comforting effect in this environment. In this study, the effect of listening to the Holy Quran on vital signs and physiological changes was investigated in the patients undergoing orthopedic surgery in Shahid Rajaee Hospital of Qazvin, Iran. Materials and Methods: T...
