Background: Laparoscopy is one of the most common surgical procedures. General anesthesia as the only suitable technique for laparoscopic procedures is a concept of the past. A problem with modern general anesthetics is that even though patients can be awake and oriented shortly after cessation of the anesthetic. There is growing evidence suggesting that regional anesthesia has an important rol...

Background: The post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a common complication in spinal anesthesia. Headache may occure seven days after dural puncture. The headache may be worsened in sitting position and be better in supine position. PDPH is common in younger and tall people. The incidence rate of PDPH related to the size of spinal needle and the number of try and decrease with small, cutting ...

background: headache is the most common complication caused by spinal anesthesia. systematic educational programs about conservative treatments could be effective in the reduction of headache after spinal anesthesiz. aim: this study aimed to evaluate the effects of training programs on the headache of patients after spinal anesthesia. method: this empirical study was conducted on 120 patients w...

conclusions blood glucose and hemodynamic changes caused by surgical stress were not significantly different between two groups. results there was not significantly difference between blood glucose level of both groups during 10 minutes before, 20 and 60 minutes after the intiation of anesthesia. heart rate changes in the general and spinal groups compared to the baseline level were decreased u...

conclusions this study showed that the addition of intrathecal magnesium sulfate to bupivacaine is not desirable in patients undergoing cesarean section due to the delay in the onset of sensory blockade and the lack of significant effects of magnesium on post-operative pain. results the onset of sensory blockade was delayed in case group compared with control group, and this was statistically s...

melatonin has been suggested as a new natural pain killer in inflammatory pain and during surgical procedures. we designed this randomized double-blind controlled study to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and also optimal preemptive dose of melatonin in patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.one hundred twenty patients scheduled for cesarean section under spinal anesthesia ...

The leading patient complaint during the perioperative period for penile prosthesis implantation is postoperative pain, while emesis and urticaria also affect the procedure's perceived success. In analyzing surgical outcomes, assessment of the anesthetic for postoperative pain and side effects should be included. This paper retrospectively reviews 90 consecutive, primary inflatable penile prost...

background despite controversies about the safest anesthetic technique for cesarean delivery in severely preeclamptic women, there is evidence that supports the use of spinal anesthesia in this group of patients. objectives this prospective randomized clinical trial was designed to determine the hemodynamic effects of low-dose spinal bupivacaine and the incidence of spinal anesthesia-associated...

BACKGROUND Spinal anesthesia is the most common regional anesthesia conducted for many surgical procedures. Multiple factors can affect the success, the side effects, and patient satisfaction with the procedure. This study was undertaken prospectively to discover factors affecting dissatisfaction and refusal of spinal anesthesia. METHODS Starting in December 2007, patients who underwent spina...

Aim: In this study, we aimed to discuss the local anesthesia + sedo-analgesia (LA-SA) and spinal methods applied during Endovascular Aortic Repair (EVAR) by retrospectively comparing patients' data
 Materials Methods: Our study was carried out evaluating data of 36 patients who underwent endovascular surgery for aortic aneurysm between 1 January 2013 31 December 2018. Three cases were gene...
