Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is usually performed successfully with or without a tourniquet and under spinal anesthesia (SA) or general anesthesia (GA). However, 10% to 34% of patients experience dissatisfaction and pain after...
High-fidelity (HF) pediatric patient simulators are expensive. This randomized study aimed to compare the quality and educational impact of a full-scale simulation workshop with an HF infant simulator (SimBaby™, Laerdal)...
To investigate the effect of propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) or sevoflurane-based inhalation anesthesia on postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy.A prospective...
Nonopioid analgesics are frequently used for perioperative analgesia; however, insufficient research is available on several practical issues. Often hospitals have no strategy for how to proceed, e.g., for informing patients or...
The decrease in Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI) provides a prediction for the development of hypoxemia and hyperoxia. Our aim is to determine the effect of ORI-guided oxygen titration on hyperoxemia-mediated morbidity.Consecutive 120...
Pain remains a common complication following gynecological laparoscopy. Use of local anesthesia may be beneficial in reducing postoperative pain. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess whether local...
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ureteral stent placement (USP) as a preoperative procedure for gynecological cancer surgeries.This was a single-institution retrospective cohort study of 259 patients with gynecological...
The glucocorticoid dexamethasone prevents nausea and vomiting after surgery, but there is concern that it may increase the risk of surgical-site infection.In this pragmatic, international, noninferiority trial, we randomly...
Conscious access to sensory information is likely gated at an intermediate site between primary sensory and transmodal association cortices, but the structure responsible remains unknown. We perform functional neuroimaging to...
Patient handoffs from an operating room (OR) to an intensive care unit (ICU) require precise coordination among surgical, anesthesia, and critical care teams. Although several standardized handoff strategies have been developed,...
Vascular surgery is considered a risk factor for the development of postoperative delirium (POD). In this systematic review we provide a report on the incidence and risk-factors of POD after vascular surgery.A systematic...
Despite the modern ventilation and waste anesthetic gas (WAG) scavenging systems, occupational exposure to common volatile anesthesia, isoflurane, can occur in the hospital and veterinary settings, but limited information exists...
