purpose: to compare general anesthesia (ga) with local anesthesia (la) in terms of safety and patient satisfaction. methods: in this interventional case series, 928 consecutive patients who underwent vitreoretinal surgery were included. data for analysis were type of anesthesia and operation, patient compliance, operating conditions and pain scores. general anesthesia was provided with a standa...

This prospective observational study compared the effects of general and spinal anesthesia in 173 severe preeclamptic women undergoing emergency cesarean section. 146 (84.5%) patients underwent spinal anesthesia (SA) and 27 (15.5%) patients had general anesthesia (GA). Most of the patients were primigravid and nulliparous. Intraoperatively SA group required more intravenous fluid and vasopresso...

Background: Anesthesia is performed in two major methods including regional and general.The aim of this study was to compare the effect of anesthesia method (spinal and general) on oxidative stress indiabetic patients underwent diabetic amputation surgery.Methods: In this randomized control trial, 40 patients with diabetic foot who were candidate for foot amputationsurgery at our academic hospi...

background many multimodal analgesia techniques have been tried to provide adequate analgesia for midline incisions extending above and below the umbilicus aiming at limiting the perioperative use of morphine thus limiting side effects. ultrasound (us) guidance made the anesthesiologist reconsider old techniques for wider clinical use. the rectus sheath block (rsb) is a useful technique under-u...

BACKGROUND Effective methods for postoperative pain relief are an important concern in outpatient surgery. For arthroscopies we combine a single-shot peripheral nerve block using low-volume, low-concentration ropivacaine with general anesthesia. We hypothesized that the patients would have less postoperative pain and be more rapidly home ready than after general anesthesia alone. METHODS Pati...

BACKGROUND The choice of anesthesia is one of the most important decisions made by anesthesiologists after preoperative visits with orthopedic patients. No published study has yet quantified the incidence of postanesthetic complaints for either technique. The present study was designed to compare the incidences of postanesthetic complaints after the application of the standardized techniques of...

OBJECTIVE To explore a better anesthesia method for the patients with gastric cancer who will undergo operation by investigating the impact of different anesthesia methods on stress reaction and immune function. MATERIAL AND METHOD The present prospective study was carried out in Xiangyang Central Hospital, China, between January 2008 and August 2014. Sixty-four cases of antral carcinoma, sub...
