ANESTHESIA, GENERAL

This study tested whether psychological interventions can reduce anxiety in women about to undergo egg retrieval with general anesthesia. 180 women participated, with some receiving the intervention and others not. Researchers measured anxiety using a questionnaire just before th…

This study tested two different methods of removing the breathing tube after a C-section under general anesthesia. 120 women took part to see which method helps keep oxygen levels stable. The goal is to reduce breathing problems right after surgery.

This observational study involved 100 adults receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) to see if the type of anesthesia drug used affects how long seizures last, how good they are, and how quickly patients wake up. Researchers measured brain activity, heart rate, and recovery sco…

This study looked at 44,000 adults who had general anesthesia for non-heart surgeries using a supraglottic airway device (a type of breathing mask). The goal was to use artificial intelligence to predict, before surgery, which patients might need an emergency switch to a breathin…

This study used wireless EEG headsets to watch brain activity in 45 healthy adults as they were put under anesthesia with propofol. Researchers focused on slow-wave brain signals to understand how and when people lose consciousness. The goal is to learn more about the brain's res…

This study looked at whether the depth of anesthesia during surgery affects a person's ability to hear spoken words without being aware of it, and whether this influences anxiety after surgery. Seventy adults having urologic or orthopedic procedures took part. The goal was to und…

This study tested whether a detailed, color-coded brain wave monitor (Density Spectral Array) helps anesthesiologists use less medication compared to a standard single-number monitor (Bispectral Index). 45 adults undergoing gynecological cancer surgery were observed. The goal was…

This study compared two types of general anesthesia—total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) using propofol and inhalational anesthesia using sevoflurane—in 80 women having planned C-sections. Researchers measured how well each method controlled the mother's vital signs and the baby's…

This study looked at how two different anesthesia gases affect the body and recovery in 40 adults having ear, nose, or throat surgery. Researchers measured heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and how quickly patients woke up after surgery. The goal was to see if one gas le…

This study surveyed 251 doctors, nurses, and other operating room staff in Turkey about their beliefs on whether patients under general anesthesia can subconsciously hear and be affected by conversations. The goal was to understand how aware health professionals are of this possi…

This study tested whether checking blood pressure every minute with a standard arm cuff is as effective as continuous monitoring through an artery line during the start of anesthesia. 258 adults having non-cardiac surgery took part. The goal was to see if the simpler method could…

This study looked at 52 adults having cosmetic breast surgery to see if things like self-esteem, anxiety, and personality traits affect how much pain they feel afterward. Before surgery, participants filled out questionnaires about their mental state and pain expectations. After …

This study tested two methods of removing a breathing tube after general anesthesia to see which helps patients breathe room air longer without their oxygen levels dropping. 68 adults having limb surgery took part. The goal was to find a safer way to wake up from anesthesia.
