Anesthesia management is one of the critical steps in the EBUS-TBNA procedures. We planned to evaluate anesthesia methods for EBUS-TBNA, which was applied for the first time in our hospital, in terms of duration of the procedure and complications. Methods: The records of patients who underwent EBUS-TBNA after ethics committee approval were reviewed retrospectively. We recorded demographic data of the patients, duration of the procedure, anesthesia methods, and complications. Results: A total of 50 patients were given anesthesia for the EBUS-TBNA. General anesthesia was performed in 5 patients and sedation in 45 patients.The duration of anesthesia was 62±17.8 min ingeneral anesthesiaand 50.2±13.1 min in sedated patients (p=0.113). Ketamine/propofol (ketofol) was used in 22 patients, and propofol/fentanyl was used in 23 patients for sedation. The amount of propofol was significantly higher in those using propofol/fentanyl than ketofol (propofol/fentanyl: 342.2±140 mg, ketofol: 166.5±49.9 mg; p=0.002).There was no significant difference in the frequency of postoperative complications. Discussion and Conclusion: The choice of anesthesia method for EBUS procedures should be adjusted according to factors associated with the operator, the patient, and the procedure itself. We think sedation can be used safely in EBUS procedures with good preliminary preparation, intraoperative management, and anesthesiologist-bronchoscopist compatibility.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of orally administered metoprolol on the frequency and severity of pain caused by rocuronium injection in patients who started to use and were currently using oral metoprolol for any reason such as ischemic heart disease, hypertension, and arrhythmias.
Methods: Patients were evaluated in four groups. Group M: patients currently using metoprolol and who did not receive lidocaine before the application of rocuronium. Group ML: patients currently using metoprolol and who received lidocaine before rocuronium application. Group L: patients currently not using metoprolol and received lidocaine before rocuronium application. Group C: patients currently not using metoprolol and who did not receive lidocaine before rocuronium application. Following the induction of general anesthesia with thiopental sodium, a researcher blind to the groups observed the pain during rocuronium injection based on the following scale: (1) no reaction, (2) movement only in the ankle, (3) movement or withdrawal only in the arm (shoulder and ankle), and (4) diffuse reaction (movement or withdrawal in more than one extremity, coughing and holding breath).
Results: Two hundred patients with 50 in each of four groups were included. The incidence of pain was statistically significantly lower in Group ML compared to Groups M and C (p = 0.001). The correlations between pain caused by rocuronium injection and duration of metoprolol usage and the time since the last dose were not statistically significant (for all, p > 0.05).
Conclusions: Oral metoprolol combined with lidocaine reduced pain and withdrawal reflex caused by rocuronium injection. No significant difference was observed between the last dose and the duration of metoprolol usage.

Damage to the tracheal mucosa caused by inappropriate endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff pressure has been shown as the major factor. Monitoring the ETT cuff pressure at a certain value reduces this damage. Benzydamine hydrochloride (BH) has proven to be effective on sore throat and studies have shown that it is also effective on POST. In this study, the efficacy of BH and ETT cuff pressure monitoring on POST was evaluated. Materials and methods: After ethics committee approval 210 patients in the ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) I-III risk group undergoing elective surgery were included in the study. Routine anesthesia monitoring, induction, and maintenance were provided. Patients were randomly divided into three groups. Thirty minutes before surgery, the posterior pharyngeal wall was sprayed with BH in group 1 and distilled water in groups 2 and 3. Intraoperatively, the first and second groups were monitored to keep the ETT cuff pressure between 22 and 26 cmH 2 O, while no intervention was performed in the third group. The incidence and severity of postoperative dysphagia, hoarseness, and POST were questioned. Results: There was no difference between demographic data, and gender was not associated with POST. There was a statistically significant difference between the first and second groups and the third group in terms of all three symptoms questioned (p<0.01). No difference was observed between the first and second groups. Side effect rates were similar. Smoking was not found to be associated with symptoms. Conclusion: The incidence and severity of POST, dysphagia, and hoarseness are reduced when the ETT cuff is inflated with a pressure of 22-26 cmH 2 O after intubation with a manometer and maintained at this pressure range throughout the operation. There was no beneficial effect of BH.

Patient-reported outcomes, postoperative recovery parameters, and complications were secondary endpoints of the study. Materials and Methods: Seventy-five patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists I-III were divided into 3 groups based on perioperative analgesia methods—(1) opioid group: patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with morphine; (2) lidocaine group: perioperative intravenous lidocaine infusion, plus PCA with morphine; and (3) the epidural group: PCA with bupivacaine. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was recorded postoperatively. In addition, nausea-vomiting, time to first oral intake, time to first ambulation, time to first flatus, and length of hospital stay were recorded. Results: VAS scores (rest) at 24 hours and VAS scores (cough) at 12 and 24 hours were significantly lower in the epidural group than in the opioid group (P<0.05). VAS scores were found to be similar between the lidocaine and epidural group. The nausea-vomiting incidence was lower in the lidocaine group than in the opioid group (P˂0.05). Compared with the other 2 groups, the first flatus time was shorter in the lidocaine group (P<0.05). Discussion: Perioperative lidocaine infusion is effective as epidural analgesia, which is often advocated as the gold-standard analgesic technique for abdominal surgery and is superior to the others in terms of time to first flatus and the incidence of nausea-vomiting.

Aim: To evaluate the consequences of continuous spinal anaesthesia and analgesia, in 52 high-risk patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. Settings and Design: Operating room and postanaesthesia care unit of an oncology hospital; a prospective study. Materials and Methods: After inserting the 22 gauge spinal catheter, plain 0.5% Bupivacaine 7.5 mg was administered through the catheter. Additional doses of Bupivacaine 2.5 mg were given, until a sensory T 4 level and total dose was noted. The postoperative analgesia involved a continuous intrathecal infusion of Sufentanil 1 mg h -1 with Bupivacaine 1 mg h -1 . Pain scores and side effects were assessed at 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 18 and 24 h after the surgery. Results: The dose of Bupivacaine required to achieve the sen...

In fact, excessive hunger is associated with adverse outcomes and delayed recovery. Research demonstrating such efficacy of preoperative oral carbohydrates still remains controversial. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of preoperative oral carbohydrate solution (OCS) intake on preoperative and postoperative anxiety levels of surgical patients. Sixty patients who would undergo surgical intervention with ASA I score were included to the study. Patients were randomized to receive either 400 ml OCS (Group I, n=30) or 400 ml water (Group II, n=30) each at the last night and two hours before surgery. Three groups of anxiety tests, including the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS), and Visual Analog Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A), were performed at the night and two hours before and six hours after the operation. At t1, the mean VAS-A was significantly lower in Group I (43.2±20.9) compared to that in Group II (59.7±24.1; p=0.01). STAI at t1 was also significantly lower in Group I than that in Group II (44.7±12.6 and 51.9±13.0, respectively; p=0.032). The scores in the other time-points (t0 and t2) were found as similar. APAIS scores did not differ between the groups. Preoperative OSC intake seems to have a tendency of reducing anxiety in operated cancer patients.

In fact, excessive hunger is associated with adverse outcomes and delayed recovery. Research demonstrating such efficacy of preoperative oral carbohydrates still remains controversial. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of preoperative oral carbohydrate solution (OCS) intake on preoperative and postoperative anxiety levels of surgical patients. Sixty patients who would undergo surgical intervention with ASA I score were included to the study. Patients were randomized to receive either 400 ml OCS (Group I, n=30) or 400 ml water (Group II, n=30) each at the last night and two hours before surgery. Three groups of anxiety tests, including the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS), and Visual Analog Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A), were performed at the night and two hours before and six hours after the operation. At t1, the mean VAS-A was significantly lower in Group I (43.2±20.9) compared to that in Group II (59.7±24.1; p=0.01). STAI at t1 was also significantly lower in Group I than that in Group II (44.7±12.6 and 51.9±13.0, respectively; p=0.032). The scores in the other time-points (t0 and t2) were found as similar. APAIS scores did not differ between the groups. Preoperative OSC intake seems to have a tendency of reducing anxiety in operated cancer patients.
