introduction: elective upper and lower gi endoscopy is usually performed in children on an outpatient basis with the child under sedation or general anesthesia (ga). the objective of this study was to describe anesthesia related complications in   children undergoing elective gi endoscopy.   materials and methods: the study design was descriptive on 1388 patients undergoing elective gi endoscop...

The aim of this study was to compare thoracoscopic surgery for spontaneous pneumothorax under epidural and/or local anesthesia (ELA) with that under general anesthesia and prove the feasibility and safety of thoracoscopic surgery under ELA for spontaneous pneumothorax. Relevant studies were searched in five databases from their date of publication to June 2016. We collected and analyzed the dat...

UNLABELLED We identified predictors for prolonged postoperative stay after ambulatory surgery using multiple logistic regression models. We collected perioperative data for 16,411 ambulatory surgical patients. A log-transformed time to discharge variable was modeled by multiple linear regression, including patient-, anesthesia-, and surgery-specific variables. The impact of hypothetical elimina...

Introduction Recent studies have demonstrated that general anesthesia worsen outcome of patients affected by acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who underwent intra arterial thrombolysis [1]. General anesthesia (GA) guarantees adequate oxygenation and prevents pneumonia aspiration. On the other hand general anesthesia induces hypotension worsening brain injury. Futhermore it does not allow to verify ea...

BACKGROUND This study is supposed to investigate the effects of combined epidural and general anesthesia on intraoperative hemodynamic responses, postoperative cellular immunity, and prognosis in patients with gallbladder cancer (GBC). METHODS One hundred forty-four GBC patients were selected and randomly divided into the general anesthesia (GA) group and the combined epidural-general anesthe...

Background: Inguinal herniorrhaphy is among the most common type of surgeries in adults. One of the important side effects of herniorrhaphy is post-operative urinary retention (UR). The incidence of urinary retention after herniorrhaphy may vary depending on the method of anesthesia. Methods: This is a double blind randomized clinical trial conducted on 80 patients undergoing inguinal hernia re...

Aim: We aimed to evaluate anesthesia-related complications in pediatric patients undergoing dental treatment under general anesthesia (GA).
 Materials and Methods: After ethical committee approvel, the records of who were operated between 01.09.2020-01.09.2022 at Selcuk University Faculty Dentistry General Anesthesia Sedation Clinic evaluated with regards demographic data, ASA, comorbiditi...

PURPOSE Pediatric oral rehabilitation patients who receive presedation with oral Versed and general anesthesia (GA) occasionally experience prolonged sedation and delayed discharge. The Bispectral Index System (BIS) is an EEG monitor that measures the anesthesia level. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of monitoring the BIS to not monitoring the BIS on time from discontinuati...

OBJECTIVES The contribution of ultrasound-assisted thoracic paravertebral block to postoperative analgesia remains unclear. We compared the effect of a combination of ultrasound assisted-thoracic paravertebral block and propofol general anesthesia with opioid and sevoflurane general anesthesia on volatile anesthetic, propofol and opioid consumption, and postoperative pain in patients having bre...

BACKGROUND The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has been shown to provide effective postoperative analgesia in lower abdominal surgery. Subcostal TAP block has also been proposed as a new technique to provide analgesia for the supraumbilical abdomen. We compared the analgesic and opioid-sparing effects of a single-injection subcostal TAP block with continuous thoracic epidural analgesia ...
