Cognitive Outcomes After Dexmedetomidine Sedation in Cardiac Surgery Patients

Anesthesia is a drug induced, reversible, comatose state that facilitates surgery and it is widely assumed that cognition returns to baseline after anesthetics have been eliminated. However, many patients have persistent memory impairment for weeks to months after surgery. Cardiac surgery appears to carry the highest risk of postoperative cognitive …

Taiwan "Aerosol Box" Versus UMMC "Intubation Box"

This study compares two intubation boxes, that is the Taiwan "Aerosol Box" versus the UMMC "Intubation Box". The importance of this intubation box has come to light recently in view of the COVID-19 pandemic and the fact that intubation is an aerosol-generating procedure.

Ultrasound vs. Auscultation for Optimal Depth of the Cuffless RAE Tube

The aim of this study is to compare the ultrasound-guidance versus auscultation to confirm optimal insertion depth of the cuffless oral Ring-Adair-Elwyn (RAE) endotracheal tube in pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia.

The Effect of Regional Anesthesia Techniques on Brain Tissue Oxygenation in Thoracic Surgery

For this reason, the anesthesia approach is characteristic and it is ensured that the single lung is not ventilated during the operation by means of specially manufactured intubation tubes. This application can disrupt tissue oxygenation due to both Operation position and single lung ventilation. Thoracic epidural analgesia, which is applied …

Prone Positioning for Patients on General Medical Wards With COVID19

COVID-PRONE is a multicenter, pragmatic, single-blind, 2-arm, parallel, randomized controlled trial seeking to compare the pre-emptive prone positioning (i.e. encouraging patients to adopt a prone position before they require mechanical ventilation) to the control arm of standard care alone. Randomization will be stratified by site.
