Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) is an extremely rare disease of unknown etiology, characterized by painless and progressive bone resorption that may affect multiple bones throughout the body. GSD primarily involves...
Mask ventilation is the most widely used method to provide ventilation during anesthesia induction. Appropriate head and neck positions, exaggerated jaw lifts, two-hand and two-person ventilation, and the use ...
Perioperative dexmedetomidine is reported to reduce complications and even in-hospital mortality after cardiac surgery. We therefore tested the hypothesis that perioperative dexmedetomidine may improve long-te...
It is questionable whether or not a short period of deep anesthesia can have long lasting effects on immune suppression.
Patients at risk of pulmonary hypertension frequently present for emergency orthopedic surgery. A right ventricular systolic pressure of 35 mmHg or above, calculated from a tricuspid regurgitant jet on transth...
Postoperative patients constitute majority of critically ill patients, although factors predicting extubation failure in this group of patients remain unidentified. Aiming to propose clinical predictors of rei...
General anesthesia (GA) combined with regional anesthesia (RA) is commonly used to enhance perioperative analgesia and hemodynamic stability. This study aimed to compare the hemodynamic effects and postoperati...
Negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is a non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema primarily resulting from upper airway obstruction, particularly following laryngospasm during the post-anesthesia recovery period.
This study aimed to determine the 90% effective dose of ciprofol combined with 5 µg of sufentanil for sedation during gastroscopy.
Cardiac output (CO) monitoring is essential for diagnosing and managing critically ill patients. Recently, a non-invasive haemodynamic monitoring technique, electrical cardiometry (EC), has gathered increasing...
