The study population consisted of 2 groups; (1) the hyperemesis gravidarum group, consist of 25 pregnant women who developed dehydration due to HG between 6 and 13 gestational weeks and between 18 and 35 years (2) the normal pregnancy group, consisting of 25 pregnant women. HG was defined according

Fluid therapy is aimed to compensate for fasting which is required for surgery, to meet the ongoing fluid losses and to maintain electrolyte balance during surgery. Fluid deficit of a healthy child who is not fed parenterally may be estimated by multiplying hourly maintenance requirement for fluid

BACKGROUND: Increasing concerns have been raised over the past several years regarding the degree of radiation exposure in patients being evaluated for abdominal complaints. A deepening body of literature supports the use of ultrasound for the evaluation of appendicitis. In particular, ultrasound is

Background: Acute appendicitis is one of the most common urgent conditions seen in general surgery practice. Complications can be severe and include perforation and generalized peritonitis. Traditionally, surgical appendectomy has been the primary treatment, even in cases of unconfirmed diagnosis,

Study Aim/Question: Does warm humidified carbon dioxide gas compared to cold dry gas for abdominal cavity insufflation during laparoscopic appendectomy in children reduce variations in intraoperative core body temperature, reduce post-operative pain, and improve post-operative recovery? The Aim of
