background: emergence delirium (ed) is a frequent postoperative complication in children. its prevalence is about 25-80% and is observed more commonly with rapid-acting volatile anesthetics than the older inhalation agents. methods: 30 patients aging between 2 to 8 years were included in this randomized double blind study. we compared the effect of combination of two anesthetic drugs, propofol-...

AIM Ischemic brain damage related to the beach chair position is a matter of concern. The current study was designed to evaluate whether the beach chair position before and during general anesthesia differentially induces changes in cerebral oxygenation as determined by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in surgical patients. METHODS We evaluated brain tissue oxygen index (TOI) values using th...

Introduction: Because of airway stimulations during bronchoscopy and lack of direct access to the airway, preferred method of anesthesia for rigid bronchoscopy is already controversial. In this study we compared inhalation anesthesia with total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) for rigid bronchoscopy. Method and Materials: 30 patients aged 2-6 years were chosen divided into two same groups. Anesthe...
