This study tested whether giving the drug ketamine during heart surgery can lower the body's inflammatory response, which is linked to complications. 177 adults having planned heart surgery were randomly assigned to receive ketamine or standard anesthesia. Researchers measured bl…

This study looked at 75 women who had planned cesarean deliveries to see if different pain management methods affect how soon and how exclusively they breastfeed. Researchers compared TAP blocks (a type of abdominal wall injection) with other pain relief options. The goal was to …

This study tested three different fluids used during shock wave treatment for kidney stones. The goal was to see which fluid breaks stones into tiny pieces most effectively while causing less pain and fewer skin problems. 294 adults with kidney stones took part, and researchers c…

This study tested whether letting patients watch a live video of their own ACL surgery helps them feel less afraid of moving and re-injuring the knee afterward. 65 adults having ACL reconstruction under spinal anesthesia either watched their surgery in real time or received stand…

This study tested two types of nerve blocks—sphenopalatine ganglion and infraorbital—in 89 adults having nose surgery. The goal was to see which block leads to better recovery, less pain, and fewer side effects like nausea. Results will help doctors choose the best method for smo…

This study looked at whether using low tidal volume (gentle) breathing during heart bypass surgery helps preserve diaphragm movement and reduce lung problems after surgery. Sixty adults having planned coronary bypass surgery were randomly assigned to receive either gentle breathi…

This study looked at 80 obese adults having spinal surgery to see if adjusting the ventilator based on each person's lung stiffness works better than using a standard setting. The goal was to improve oxygen levels during surgery and reduce lung problems afterward. Researchers mea…

This study followed 294 knee replacement patients to see how often they experienced a sudden, severe pain when their nerve block wore off. Researchers found that many patients reported high pain levels within 12-24 hours after surgery. The goal was to better understand this 'rebo…

This study looked at whether using very small breaths (ultra-low tidal volume) during heart bypass surgery can reduce strain on the lungs and help patients recover faster. Sixty adults having planned bypass surgery were randomly assigned to receive either these small breaths or n…

This study measured a hormone called preptin in the umbilical cord blood of 72 newborns. Researchers compared levels in babies with low or high birth weight, as well as babies of diabetic mothers, to those with normal birth weight. The goal was to see if preptin is linked to birt…

This study looked at 98 women undergoing IVF to see if naturally high estrogen levels affect how well they recover from anesthesia after egg retrieval. Researchers measured recovery quality, pain, and nausea. The goal is to better understand recovery patterns and potentially impr…

This study looked at 110 knee replacement patients to see if heart rate variability (HRV) could predict a sudden, intense pain called rebound pain after nerve blocks wear off. Researchers measured HRV before and after surgery using a chest monitor. The goal is to help doctors per…

This study looked at 110 adults with high blood pressure who had surgery under spinal anesthesia. Researchers used ultrasound to measure blood vessels and other factors to see which patients were more likely to have a dangerous drop in blood pressure. The goal is to help doctors …

This study explored whether the size of the spinal needle affects brain pressure and headache severity in 40 adults who developed a headache after spinal anesthesia. Researchers used ultrasound to measure the optic nerve sheath diameter, a marker of brain pressure, and compared i…

This study looked at how two common steroids (methylprednisolone and dexamethasone) affect the time it takes for children to recover from muscle relaxants used during surgery. Sixty children aged 5 to 12 years having tonsil or adenoid surgery were randomly assigned to receive one…

This study looked at whether using very small breaths (low tidal volume) during heart-lung bypass surgery can help protect the kidneys. 60 adults having planned heart surgery were included. Researchers used ultrasound to measure kidney blood flow before and after surgery. The goa…

This study looked at whether higher estrogen levels make propofol injection more painful in women. Researchers compared IVF patients with high estrogen to those with normal levels. The goal is to better understand how hormones affect pain and improve patient comfort during anesth…

This study looked at whether measuring heart rate patterns before surgery can help predict nausea and vomiting after gallbladder removal. Researchers monitored 110 women using a chest strap to track heart rate variability. The goal was to see if this simple test could identify wh…

This study looked at 220 adults with treated hypothyroidism to see if the thickness of the thyroid isthmus (measured by ultrasound) could predict a difficult breathing tube placement during surgery. Researchers measured the isthmus before anesthesia and compared it to standard di…
