PURPOSE Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) develops in patients with chronic renal failure. This study aimed to compare analgesic efficacy in SHPT patients who undergo subtotal parathyroidectomy after superficial versus deep cervical plexus block. METHODS Sixty chronic renal failure patients with SPHT scheduled for subtotal parathyroidectomy were randomized to receive general anesthesia (gr...

INTRODUCTION 2-Chloroprocaine is a local anesthetic with a very short half-life and a favorable evolution of spinal block for ultra-short outpatient procedures. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the clinical impact of the introduction of spinal 1% 2-chloroprocaine compared to general anesthesia at the ARS Medica Clinic (Switzerland). MATERIAL AND METHOD We retrospectively eva...

General anesthesia (GA) and local anesthesia (LA) evolved on separate tracks. Procedures that could not be performed under LA were typically conducted under GA. Decoding of afferent linkage of peripheral noxious stimuli has provided important understanding that may change the way we traditionally treat surgical pain. In the 1980s, animal studies suggested that preemptive peripheral blocking of ...

The technique of Awake coronary artery bypass (ACAB ) is about seven years old, it was first reported by Karagoz and coworkers. They performed few successful cardiac surgeries using thoracic epidural anestehsia in an awake patients without endotracheal general anesthesia.. After the initial reports, several authors reported series of cases, totaling to about one thousand cases so far. Ever sinc...

central anticholinergic syndrome (cas) following general anesthesia (ga) is a well known syndrome in children and adults. many cases of cas have been previously reported in the literature. however, there are only two reports of post resuscitation cas after administration of small doses of atropine. hereby, we report a case of cas in a child undergoing complete dental restoration under ga after ...

BACKGROUND/AIM Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a new therapy in aortic stenosis patients with high operative risk. Advances in experiences have shifted the choice of anesthesia from general to local anesthesia and sedation for these patients. We compared our anesthetic experiences in our institute in a period of 2.5 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 151 (86...

Background This study investigated plasma concentrations of substance P (SP) in patients undergoing general anesthesia (GA) and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). This prospective, observational, cohort study included 23 patients who underwent scheduled surgery under general anesthesia. Blood was collected from the radial artery at predetermined time points (15-30 mins prior anesthesia, ...

Objective: Aim of this study is to analyse the characteristics pediatric dentistry patients who were operated under general anesthesia (GA) and sedated, adequacy number operating rooms. Material Methods: The examined records 218 paediatric could not be local anaesthesia (LA) in Faculty Dentistry therefore needed dental (DGA) for treatments using nasotracheal intubation room Medicine between Jan...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The success of renal transplantation (Tx) depends on the type of donor, length of cold ischemia, and hemodynamic parameters on reperfusion. The objective of this study was to analyze the anesthetic technique, the incidence of cardiovascular changes, and the presence of postoperative diuresis of Tx performed at UNICAMP. METHODS Renal transplantation of adults performe...

Pulmonary hypertension(PH) creates a significant challenge for the anesthesiologist, placing patients in high risk category. PH is a major reason for elevated perioperative morbidity and mortality, even in non cardiac surgical procedures. Stress, pain, ventilation, surgical related inflammation, can further increase pressure within pulmonary arteries and cause right heart failure. The major con...
