Previous studies have reported that the ramped position provides a better laryngoscopic view, reduces tracheal intubation time, and increases the success rate of endotracheal intubation. However, the patient’s...
Orthopaedic surgeries are among the most painful procedures. By adding low-dose morphine to intrathecal bupivacaine for spinal anaesthesia, the analgesic effect can be improved. The objeсtive of the study was ...
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) remains the mainstay treatment option for patients with psychiatric diseases, such as severe depression. Although various anesthetic techniques provide adequate therapeutic seiz...
Anesthetic gases have been known to cause damage when inhaled over long periods of time. Modern safety measures have been put in place to reduce the risk to anesthesia providers, however there is continued lac...

Arising from chemoreceptor cells, carotid body tumors (CBTs) are rare neoplasms associated with hemodynamics. Perioperative changes in blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) are not completely understood.
Spontaneous breathing potentially injures lungs and diaphragm when spontaneous effort is vigorous in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) while immobility also has risks of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) acqu...
To evaluate the effect of duloxetine when added to a multimodal analgesia regimen on posthemorrhoidectomy pain, opioid consumption, and side effects.
Neuroinflammation is the main pathological mechanism of cognitive dysfunction caused by neurodegenerative diseases, and effective preventive and therapeutic measures are not available. We predicted the key tar...
With recent advances in robot-assisted techniques, an increasing number of surgeries are being performed with pneumoperitoneum and head-down maneuver (HDM) that may affect the cerebral microcirculation. For th...
Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is caused by stretch stimulation and other factors related to mechanical ventilation (MV). NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), an important innate immune component, is st...
Propofol is an intravenous (IV) anesthetic medication widely used for procedural sedation, operative anesthesia, and in intensive care unit (ICU), but the incidence of pain during IV infusion can reach 28–90%....
Emergent endotracheal intubation (ETI) is a serious complication after Oesophagectomy. It is still unclear that perioperative risk factors and prognosis of these patients with ETI.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder that is highly associated with postoperative complications. The STOP-Bang questionnaire is a simple screening tool for OSA. The objective of this systematic r...
In abdominal surgery, ultrasound-guided anterior quadratus lumborum blocks (QLB) are performed to induce analgesia. However, no study reported suitable volumes of the anterior QLB for the different postoperati...
Maintaining patent airways is vital in pediatric anesthetic management. Failure to manage and anticipate difficult laryngoscopy (DL) preoperatively is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Data on the ...
