    (2022-05-01T00:00:00Z) PINAR, PARVİN; YEŞİLTAŞ, SERDAR; TÜRKAY, MELTEM; KARAASLAN, Kazım; TÜRKÖZ, Ayda; PINAR, PARVİN; YEŞİLTAŞ, SERDAR; TÜRKAY, MELTEM; KARAASLAN, KAZıM; TÜRKÖZ, AYDA
    Background: Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) can provide effective analgesia in pediatric abdominal surgery. Additionally, when used as an analgesic method in abdominal surgery, ESPB may increase regional intra-abdominal tissue oxygen saturation (rSO(2)) throughout the operation. However, the number of related studies conducted on pediatric patients is insufficient.

    Background/Aims: In this study, we aimed to analyze the effects of Gastro-Laryngeal Tube (GLT) use on intraoperative and postoperative hemodynamic parameters, comfort of the procedure, and patients’ satisfaction in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Materials and Methods: A total of 80 patients between the ages of 20 and 75 years who were scheduled for elective ERCP were enrolled. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups: groups N and G. Those in group N underwent the procedure with sedation without any airway instruments and those in group G underwent procedure after sedation and airway management with GLT. Intraoperative and postoperative vital signs as well as the satisfaction of the patients were recorded. Results: The duration to esophageal visualization was found to be significantly higher in group N (16 s) than in group G (7 s) (p=0.001). The mean Visual Analogue Scale for Pain (VAS) was significantly higher in group G (1.85) than in group N (0.45) (p=0.016). Group G had higher endoscopist satisfaction scores than group N. The incidence of desaturation during ERCP was significantly higher in group N (60%) than in group G (0%) (p=0.000). Conclusion: In conclusion, ERCP should be performed under optimal conditions to avoid the occurrence of unwanted complications, such as aspiration-related disorders. Therefore, according to the structural properties of GLT, sedation anesthesia application with GLT in ERCP will be safer, more comfortable, and more effective.

    (2019-10-24T00:00:00Z) Aydoğan, MS; Karaaslan, KAZIM; Doğan, Z; Topuz, U; KARAASLAN, KAZıM
    Background/aim: To examine the effects of active and passive smoking on perioperative anesthetic and analgesic consumption. Materials and methods: Patients were divided into three groups: group S, smokers; group PS, passive smokers; and group NS, individuals who did not have a history of smoking and were not exposed to smoke. All patients underwent the standard total intravenous anesthesia method. The primary endpoint of this study was determination of the total amount of propofol and remifentanil consumed. Results: The amount of propofol used in induction of anesthesia was significantly higher in group S compared to groups PS and NS. Moreover, the total consumption of propofol was significantly higher in group S compared to groups PS and NS. The total propofol consumption of group PS was significantly higher than that of group NS (P = 0.00). Analysis of total remifentanil consumption showed that remifentanil use was significantly higher in group S compared to group NS (P = 0.00). Conclusion: The amount of the anesthetic required to ensure equal anesthetic depth in similar surgeries was higher in active smokers and passive smokers compared to nonsmokers.

    (2021-07-01T00:00:00Z) Daşkaya, Hayrettin; Yılmaz, Sinan; Uysal, Harun; Sümbül, Bilge; Karaaslan, Kazım; DAŞKAYA, HAYRETTİN; YILMAZ, SİNAN; UYSAL, HARUN; ÇALIM, MUHITTIN; SÜMBÜL, BİLGE; YURTSEVER, İSMAİL; KARAASLAN, KAZıM
    Objective:Two critical processes in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic involve assessing patients- intensive care needs and predicting disease progression during patients- intensive care unit (ICU) stay. We aimed to evaluate oxidative stress marker status at ICU admission and ICU discharge status in patients with COVID-19.Methods:We included patients in a tertiary referral center ICU during June-December 2020. Scores of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), and clinical severity, radiologic scores, and healthy discharge status were noted. We collected peripheral blood samples at ICU admission to evaluate total antioxidants, total oxidants, catalase, and myeloperoxidase levels.Results:Thirty-one (24 male, 7 female) patients were included. At ICU admission, patients- mean APACHE II score at ICU admission was 17.61 ± 8.9; the mean SOFA score was 6.29 ± 3.16. There was no significant relationship between clinical severity and oxidative stress (OS) markers nor between radiological imaging and COVID-19 data classification and OS levels. Differences in OS levels between patients with healthy and exitus discharge status were not significant.Conclusions:We found no significant relationship between oxidative stress marker status in patients with COVID-19 at ICU admission and patients- ICU discharge status.

    Background/aim: Despite different regional anesthesia techniques used to provide intraoperative and postoperative analgesia in pediatric patients, the analgesic effectiveness of peripheral nerve blockades with minimal side effect profiles have not yet been fully determined. We aimed to compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block, quadratus lumborum (QL) block, and caudal epidural block on perioperative analgesia in pediatric patients aged between 6 months and 14 years who underwent elective unilateral lower abdominal wall surgery. Materials and methods: Ninety-four patients classified under the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification system as ASA I or ASA II were randomly divided into 3 equal groups to perform TAP, QL or Caudal epidural block using 0.25% of bupivacaine solution (0.5 ml kg−1). Results: Postoperative analgesic consumption was highest in the TAP block group (P < 0.05). In the QL block group, Pediatric Objective Pain Scale (POAS) scores were statistically significantly lower after 2 and 4 h (P < 0.05). The length of hospital stay was significantly longer in the caudal block group than the QL block group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: We suggest that analgesia with ultrasound-guided QL block should be considered as an option for perioperative analgesia in pediatric patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery if the expertise and equipment are available.

    The Effect of Exogenous Human Albumin Administration on Acute Kidney Injury Development in Hypoalbuminemic Patients in the Intensive Care Unit
    (2022-04-01T00:00:00Z) Yeşiltaş, Serdar; Güzel, Cumali; Sümer, İsmail; Uysal, Harun; Daşkaya, Hayrettin; Türkay, Meltem; Karaaslan, Kazım; YEŞİLTAŞ, SERDAR; SÜMER, İSMAİL; UYSAL, HARUN; DAŞKAYA, HAYRETTİN; KARAASLAN, KAZıM
    Objective: Hypoalbuminemia is an independent risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI) and mortality. The primary aim of our study was to investigate the effect of exogenous human albumin (EHA) administration on hypoalbuminemic patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) regarding the development of AKI. Our secondary aim was to compare the ICU admission duration and mortality rates of these patients. Methods: After receiving ethics committee approval, the researchers retrospectively screened database for 5,989 patients admitted to the adult ICU from 01.01.2014 to 01.06.2018. The demographic data, serum albumin and creatinine levels, ICU admission duration and mortality rates of patients were recorded. Stage 2-3 AKI was accepted based on the AKI network criteria, while hypoalbuminemia was accepted as serum albumin values below 3.5 g/dL. Patients not given EHA were assigned to group none human albumin (Group NHA), while patients given EHA were assigned to group human albumin (Group HA). The rate of AKI development, duration of stay in ICU and mortality rates were compared between the groups. Results: The mean age, AKI development rate, mortality rate and ICU admission duration in Group HA were statistically significantly higher than in Group NHA (p=0.0001, p=0.0001, p=0.0001, p=0.0001). There was no difference in terms of the gender distribution in the groups. The mean albumin value in Group HA was statistically significantly lower than Group NHA (p=0.0001). Conclusion: In conclusion, EHA administration in hypoalbuminemic patients prolong stay in ICU in addition to the increase in the development of AKI and mortality.

    Esmolol Administration for the Treatment of Refractory Ventricular Fibrillation
    (2016-12-01) Karaaslan, KAZIM; UMUTOGLU, Tarik; TOPUZ, Ufuk; Ay, YASİN; KARAASLAN, KAZıM; AY, YASİN
    Ventricular fibrillation (VF) after releasing an aortic cross clamp in patients undergoing open heart surgery procedures is not rare. Ischemiareperfusion injury after release of the aortic clamp, increased adrenergic tone, and insufficient protection of the myocardium are the possible causes. Amiodarone, lidocaine, and beta blockers have been added to the cardioplegia solutions as a preventive measure for reperfusion VF. We report a case of life-threatening, shock-resistant VF during the weaning period of a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in a 61-yearold male who underwent a mitral valve repair surgery for mitral valve regurgitation. After several defibrillation attempts, refractory VF was turned to normal sinus rhythm shortly after ultra-short acting, beta blocking agent esmolol administration. CPB was terminated successfully following this. In conclusion, VF is still a major problem for clinicians and the treatment of refractory VF is not well defined. In contrast with the absence of the sufficient randomized controlled human studies, theoretically beta blockers could be a choice alternative for shock refractory VF.
