High-Flow Nasal Cannula Outcomes in COVID-19-Associated Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure: Illness Severity, Awake Prone Positioning, and Risk of Intubation in a Single-Center ICU Cohort

Background and Objectives: High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is widely used in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, yet predictors of successful noninvasive support and the role of awake prone positioning remain incompletely defined, and observational analyses are vulnerable to immo...

Viscoelastic and transfusion effects of residual cardiopulmonary bypass circuit blood reinfusion after coronary artery bypass surgery: a randomized controlled trial

Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with perioperative blood loss, coagulation disturbances, and increased allogeneic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion requirements. This study evaluated whether postoperative reinfusion of residual CPB circuit blood red...

Comparison of the Effects of High‐Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen and Jet Ventilation Techniques

ABSTRACT Objectives Shared airway management in endolaryngeal surgery conflicts surgical access with adequate ventilation. This study compared the effects of High‐Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV) and Transnasal Humidified Rapid‐Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange (THRIVE) via High‐...

Gender-Based and Sexualized Behaviors in Perioperative Workplaces in Türkiye: An Exploratory Cross-Sectional Survey

Background/Objectives: Evidence on gender-based and sexualized conduct in perioperative workplaces in Türkiye is limited. This exploratory study described 12-month self-identified personal exposure, behavior encounters, reporting, organizational climate, impacts, and prevention p...

Association of Gastric Microbiota with Gastric Cancer in Patients Infected with Helicobacter pylori

Background: The association between Helicobacter pylori and the resident gastric microbiota plays a critical role in gastric carcinogenesis; however, the specific microbial alterations accompanying the transition from chronic inflammation to malignancy remain to be fully elucidat...

Do Early Prognostic Measures Differentiate Mechanisms of ICU Death in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage? An Analysis of Fatal Outcomes

Background/Objectives: In aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), intensive care unit (ICU) deaths may follow neurological or systemic pathways, but the relationship between early prognostic measures and the mechanism of death is unclear. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 2...

Incremental Anatomical Value of CT Angiography Beyond Echocardiography in the Preoperative Assessment of Pediatric Conotruncal Anomalies: A Surgical Correlation Study

Background: Conotruncal anomalies frequently involve extracardiac vascular structures that are critical for surgical planning yet incompletely assessed by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). We evaluated the incremental diagnostic value of CT angiography (CTA) beyond TTE using...

Epidural Electrical Stimulation Within an Integrated Rehabilitation Pathway for Traumatic Cervical Spinal Cord Injury: Safety and 12-Month Functional Outcomes

Background/Objectives: Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) is an investigational, off-label neuromodulation strategy used adjunctively with rehabilitation in chronic spinal cord injury (SCI), but safety and longitudinal functional data specific to traumatic cervical SCI remain...

Ultrasound-guided assessment for decannulation with critically ill patients: a prospective cohort study

Abstract Identifying a diagnostic method and treatment guidance tool for decannulation that can demonstrate anatomical and physiological effects of long-term artificial-airway (AA) in critically-ill-patients (CIPs). In this prospective study, ultrasound-guided-decannulation (UGD)...

Large Language Models in Perioperative Antithrombotic Management: A Blinded Scenario-Based Expert Evaluation

Background: Perioperative antithrombotic management is a complex and high-risk aspect of anesthesia practice, requiring a careful balance between bleeding and thromboembolic risks. Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly explored for clinical decision support, but their rel...

Epidemiology and its results in hip fractures followed in postoperative intensive care

The global proportion of individuals aged ≥ 65 years is approximately 9%, and hip fractures (HFx) represent one of the most common and serious injuries in this population. This study retrospectively evaluated postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) admissions among patients with...

MRI-derived lumbosacral cerebrospinal fluid volume influences both the extent and persistence of spinal anesthesia: a prospective observational study

Considerable interindividual variability exists in the spread and duration of spinal anesthesia despite standardized anesthetic techniques. Lumbosacral cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume has been proposed as an important anatomical determinant of neuraxial block characteristics. Ho...

Temporal distribution of recorded intensive care unit deaths across the 24-hour cycle: a 15-year retrospective hospital-based study

Whether recorded deaths in intensive care units (ICUs) follow a uniform temporal distribution throughout the 24-hour cycle remains uncertain. Previous studies have primarily compared broad day–night periods, potentially overlooking finer temporal patterns. We investigated the tem...

Comparison of modified thoracoabdominal nerve block via perichondrial approach with serratus intercostal plane block and rectus sheath block combination in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a randomized controlled trial

Patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) may experience severe postoperative pain. Peripheral nerve blocks, as a component of multimodal analgesia, are now widely employed in postoperative pain management. This study investigated the effects of modified thoracoabdomi...

On-Table Versus Deferred Extubation After Paediatric Cardiac Catheterisation Under General Anaesthesia: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Purpose: Extubation timing after paediatric cardiac catheterisation under general anaesthesia remains a challenging clinical decision, particularly in children with cyanotic or haemodynamically significant congenital heart disease. This study aimed to evaluate factors associated...

The efficacy of suprascapular nerve radiofrequency and intra-articular steroıd injectıon in frozen shoulder treatment: randomızed controlled trial

Abstract Background This study aims to address the impacts of intra-articular steroid injection (IASI) alone versus the combination of suprascapular nerve (SSN) pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) and IASI on pain relief and improvement in shoulder range of motion (ROM) in patients with...

Comparison of propofol and propofol–ketamine anesthesia on optic nerve sheath diameter in endovascular cerebral aneurysm procedures: a prospective randomized study

Endovascular treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms requires anesthetic strategies that maintain cerebral perfusion and hemodynamic stability while avoiding increases in intracranial pressure (ICP). Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measured by ultrasonography is commonl...

Protective Effect of Ozone on Liver Ischemia–Reperfusion (I/R) Injury in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ozone therapy on the liver, one of the organs most affected by ischemia–reperfusion damage in people with diabetes. Thirty male Wistar albino rats were used in this study. The rats were randomly divided into four groups: the...

Integrated serum and synovial biomarker profiling reveals inflammatory and cartilage remodeling signatures in age-restricted knee osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease characterized by inflammation, cartilage degeneration, and tissue remodeling. Although many biomarkers have been investigated, the combined biological significance of systemic and local biomarkers is not fully understood. This study a...
