BACKGROUND: Thoracic segmental spinal anesthesia (SA) may be a good alternative to general anesthesia (GA) for abdominal operations and laparoscopic procedures, especially in high-risk patients.
BACKGROUND: Pain control and stabilizing hemodynamic indices are serious medical challenges, especially in anesthesia. Laparoscopic surgery is increasing in the world, and cholecystectomy surgery is no exception.
BACKGROUND: Post-lumbar surgery syndrome (PLSS) refers to persistent or recurrent pain following spinal surgery with an unknown cause. It is commonly associated with epidural fibrosis (EF). Some studies suggest that epidural steroid injection (ESI) c...
BACKGROUND: The sympatholytic property of dexmedetomidine (DEX) makes it suitable as a hypotensive drug during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS); however, delayed emergence from anesthesia and high postoperative sedation have been reported.
BACKGROUND: In the postoperative period, open total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) surgeries induce considerable pain. Multimodal strategies are being used to alleviate pain.
BACKGROUND: Spinal anesthesia (SA) for the surgical management of chronic anal fissures is favored by surgeons as it provides an early return to daily activities; however, the agents applied for SA to achieve the best outcomes with minimized adverse ...
BACKGROUND: Postoperative pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) arises from incision sites and residual intraperitoneal CO gas. Opioids as a class of pain-relieving drugs are broadly used to control pain after LC; however, these drugs can ...
BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has a high prevalence and mortality worldwide. Thousands of patients with acute respiratory failure caused by COVID-19 are daily hospitalized in intensive care units (ICUs) around the world. Many of...
BACKGROUND: Paravertebral blocks are one of the possible postoperative pain management modalities after laparotomy. Adjuvants to local anesthetics, including alpha agonists, have been shown to lead to better pain relief and increased duration of anal...
BACKGROUND: In previous clinical trials and a small number of studies, the fractional injection of anesthetics led to reduced physiological complications and hemodynamic stability and increased duration of anesthesia.
