Background Psychological factors are thought to drive inter-patient variations in anaesthetic
and analgesic requirements. This cross-sectional study investigated whether preoperative …

In infants and small children, ultrasound (US) guidance provides ample anatomical
information to perform neuraxial blocks. We can measure the distance from the skin to the …

Low-dose bupivacaine can limit the spinal block level with minimal hemodynamic effects
and yield a rapid recovery, but sometimes it may not provide adequate anesthesia for …

Background Dexmedetomidine (DMT) has been shown to prolong spinal anaesthesia. We
evaluated the effects of intravenous DMT on low‐dose bupivacaine spinal anaesthesia in …

Background Dexamethasone has a powerful anti-inflammatory action and has demonstrated
reduced morbidity after surgery. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a single …

Background The administration of low-dose bupivacaine can limit the distribution of spinal
block to reduce adverse haemodynamic effects. Intrathecal opioids can enhance analgesia …

Background The appropriate endotracheal tube (ETT) size is commonly determined using
age‐based formula; ETT size determination based on ultrasound (US) measurement of …

BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether the volume or concentration of local anesthetic
influences its spread and quality of caudal analgesia when the total drug dose is fixed …

Purpose Dexmedetomidine, a potent selective α2-adrenergic agonist, produces sedation
and analgesia. This study was conducted to assess the effect of dexmedetomidine infusion …

OBJECTIVES: To document incidences of subclinical embolism in laparoscopic radical
prostatectomy with continuous monitoring using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) …
