Background: Most of the surgeries are now-a-days performed laproscopically. Early ambulation, less infections, cosmetic effects, minimal surgical pain are some of the advantages of laproscopic surgeries over open surgeries. General anesthesia is usually used to prevent aspiration and respiratory compromise seen secondary to pneumoperitoneum created in laproscopic surgeries. But general anesthes...

UNLABELLED Neurologic injury associated with regional anesthetic or pain medicine procedures is extremely rare. The Second American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine Practice Advisory on Neurologic Complications Associated With Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine focuses on those complications associated with mechanical, ischemic, or neurotoxic injury of the neuraxis or periphe...

In summary, regional techniques offer significant advantages in the outpatient setting. They can avoid the side effects of nausea, vomiting, and pain that frequently delay discharge or cause admission. They can also provide prolonged analgesia as well as offer, with the use of continuous catheters, the promise of a pain-free perioperative period. The choice of drugs must be carefully adjusted, ...

Hip fractures are a global public health problem. During surgery following hip fractures, both general and regional anesthesia are used, but which type of anesthesia offers a better outcome remains controversial. There has been little research evaluating different anesthetic types on mortality and readmission rates for hip fracture surgery using nationwide population-based data.We used nationwi...

INTRODUCTION Surgical intervention and anesthesia procedure lead to a series of hormonal changes in the organism, which is mainly attributed to catecholamine response to stress. Surgical intervention is resulting in significant changes in neuroendocrine regulation, metabolism and physiological functions, as part of the overall response to stress. RESEARCH AIM The aim of this study was to dete...

The effect of anesthetic technique on postoperative outcomes remains in question. This systematic review compares the role of regional versus general anesthesia, with a particular focus on postoperative cognitive function. Potentially relevant articles were identified by searching publicly available computerized databases for this systematic review. Any surgical procedure was accepted with the ...

Regional anesthesia for knee and hip arthroplasty may have favorable outcome effects compared with general anesthesia by effectively blocking afferent input, providing initial postoperative analgesia, reducing endocrine metabolic responses, and providing sympathetic blockade with reduced bleeding and less risk of thromboembolic complications but with undesirable effects on lower limb motor and ...
