Prediction of in-hospital mortality and morbidity using high-sensitivity C-reactive protein after burr hole craniostomy
The purpose of this study was to assess whether preanesthetic laboratory values can predict in-hospital mortality and morbidity in patients who have undergone burr hole craniostomy due to chronic subdural hema...

Effect of mild hypocapnia on hemodynamic and bispectral index responses to tracheal intubation during propofol anesthesia in children
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mild hypocapnia on hypertension and arousal response after tracheal intubation in children during propofol anesthesia. Forty-four children, American S...

The effect of desflurane versus propofol on regional cerebral oxygenation in the sitting position for shoulder arthroscopy
The sitting position may cause significant hemodynamic instability and cerebral hypoperfusion. We investigated the effects of desflurane and propofol on regional cerebral oxygenation (rSO2) in the sitting positio...

Prediction of hypotension in the beach chair position during shoulder arthroscopy using pre-operative hemodynamic variables
Since hypotension in beach chair position (BCP) can lead to catastrophic neurologic complications, the prediction of hypotension is a matter of concern in the BCP under general anesthesia. We investigated whet...

The Ability of Stroke Volume Variation Measured by a Noninvasive Cardiac Output Monitor to Predict Fluid Responsiveness in Mechanically Ventilated Children
Continuous noninvasive cardiac output monitoring (NICOM) is a clinically useful tool in the pediatric setting. This study compared the ability of stroke volume variation (SVV) measured by NICOM with that of re...

The effect of atropine on the bispectral index response to endotracheal intubation during propofol and remifentanil anesthesia
Atropine has been reported to increase the propofol requirements for the induction of anesthesia during continuous infusion of propofol. We investigated the influence of atropine on the bispectral index (BIS) ...

Positive end-expiratory pressure in pressure-controlled ventilation improves ventilatory and oxygenation parameters during laparoscopic cholecystectomy
During laparoscopy, pneumoperitoneum may result in intraoperative atelectasis, which impairs normal gas exchange. This study investigated whether positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cmH2O in pressure-con...

Effect of diltiazem on kidney function during laparoscopic surgery
Pneumoperitoneum is known to be associated with transient impairment in kidney function. This study was designed to investigate the effect of diltiazem on acute kidney injury during positive pneumoperitoneum i...
