OBJECTIVE
To determine the incidence of postoperative vomiting and fever in patients that had tonsillectomy in our centre over a five year period.
METHODS
The hospital records (case files) of patients that had tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy under general anaesthesia at the University of
We compared the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting after total intravenous propofol-fentanyl anesthesia (TIVA group) and that after thiamylal-nitrous oxide-isoflurane anesthesia (GOI group) in 60 ASA physical I and II patients for elective abdominal simple total hysterectomy. When the
BACKGROUND
Nausea and vomiting is a common postoperative complication that often necessitates the use of antiemetic agents.
METHODS
In a prospective, randomized, double blind trial, the effect of perioperative fluid administration on postoperative adverse outcomes following anesthesia was studied.
BACKGROUND
Of the morbidities that follow tonsillectomy, nausea and vomiting, fever, pain and inadequate oral intake are the most commonly encountered. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) has been reported as between 40% and 85%. In children, the risk of dehydration is
OBJECTIVE
To test the hypothesis that the type of surgical procedure influences the incidence of postoperative symptoms. Also the effect of demographic and clinical risk variables: age, sex, ASA status, duration of anaesthesia on the postoperative symptoms were evaluated for each type of
OBJECTIVE
To determine the postoperative outcome of narcolepsy patients, a population that may be at increased risk of perioperative complications, including postoperative hypersomnia, prolonged emergence after general anesthesia, and apnea.
METHODS
Retrospective chart review.
METHODS
Academic
BACKGROUND
Total intravenous anesthesia usage in children remains relatively unpopular in the UK and Ireland. A postal survey by Hill et al in 2008 indicated that only 26% of Consultants used a propofol infusion at least once a month.
OBJECTIVE
Following an increase in teaching and training
OBJECTIVE
Determine the prevalence and safety of pediatric ambulatory otolaryngologic procedures in the United States.
METHODS
Historical cohort study.
METHODS
All cases of pediatric otolaryngologic surgery were extracted from the National Survey of Ambulatory Surgery 2006 release. The population
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect of oral prednisolone on recovery from tonsillectomy.
METHODS
Prospective, randomized, controlled trial of 198 consecutive patients, aged 4 years and older, with no previous or known contraindications to steroid therapy.
METHODS
All 198 patients scheduled for elective
BACKGROUND
Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA, or hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type IV) is a rare, autosomal recessive disease, related to a mutation in the TrkA gene, characterized by inability to sweat, insensitivity to pain and recurrent episodes of
BACKGROUND
Postoperative shivering is one of the most common complications in patients recovering from general anaesthesia. Although a variety of pharmacological therapies have been used to control postoperative shivering, no ideal drug has been found to date.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to
Correct administration in the early postoperative phase is decisive in the final outcome of surgery and the presence of the Recovery Room (RR) contributes significantly to a reduction in the post-operative risk rate. The objectives of the RR are: removal of the pharmacological effect of general
Ondansetron, a selective serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, is an antiemetic agent available for use in adults and children. In children receiving ondansetron (multiple 5 mg/m2 or 0.15 mg/kg intravenous and/or oral doses) in addition to chemotherapy in 2 large (n > 100)
Sevoflurane may be an interesting substance for paediatric anaesthesia due to its combination of a very low blood-gas partition coefficient and non-pungency. This review discusses the status of sevoflurane in paediatric anaesthesia on the basis of studies published so far. The blood-gas partition
OBJECTIVE
To study the safety and benefits of parenteral ketamine and lignocaine infiltration among pediatric surgical patients with co-morbidities that would preclude the use of general anesthesia requiring endotracheal intubation/face mask in a developing country.
METHODS
This prospective study
