Öğe Effect of the frequency of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on analgesia during extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy(Springer, 2004) Kararmaz, A; Kaya, S; Karaman, H; Turhanoglu, SIn this prospective, randomised, sham controlled study, we set out to determine which transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy modality (conventional vs acupuncture-like) is more effective as a supplementary analgesic regimen during extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Patients were prospectively randomised to one of three groups. In Group I (n=22), conventional TENS (impulse pattern: continuous at 80 Hz; intensity: 10-30 mA) was applied. In Group II (n=22) acupuncture-like TENS (impulse pattern: burst at 2 Hz; intensity: 15-50 mA) was applied. In Group III (n=22) (control group), stimulation was started at 1 mA and the intensity increased to no more than 10 mA until it produced a tickling sensation. Alfentanil was administered through a patient controlled analgesic device. Alfentanil consumption, hemodynamics and respiratory parameters, a 10-cm visual analogue pain scale, patient satisfaction, recovery and discharge times were evaluated. The consumption of alfentanil was significantly lower in Group I than in Groups II and III (P<0.0001). Pain scores were lower in Group I than in the other two groups (P<0.05). Patients in Group I were more satisfied with their analgesic medication than those in the other two groups (P<0.05). Both the time to an Aldrete score >8 and a modified post-anaesthetic discharge score >8 were significantly shorter in Group I (2.3+/-1.8, 49.1+/-14.6) than those of Groups II (4.6+/-2.2, 60.2+/-18.1) and III (4.9+/-2.8, 58.4+/-16.5) (P<0.0001 and P<0.05, respectively). We conclude that the use of conventional TENS is effective in decreasing the analgesic requirements and the incidence of alfentanil-related side effects during ESWL.Öğe Effects of different doses of oral ketamine for premedication of children(Greenwich Medical Media Ltd, 2003) Turhanoglu, S; Kararmaz, A; Özyilmaz, MA; Kaya, S; Tok, DBackground and objective: A need exists for a safe and effective oral preanaesthetic medication for use in children undergoing elective surgery. The study sought to define the dose of oral ketamine that would facilitate induction of anaesthesia without causing significant side-effects. Methods: We studied 80 children undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia who received oral ketamine 4, 6 or 8 mg kg(-1) in a prospective, randomized, double-blind placebo controlled study. We compared the reaction to separation from parents, transport to the operating room, the response to intravenous cannula insertion and application of an anaesthetic facemask, the induction of anaesthesia and recovery from anaesthesia, Results: In the group receiving ketamine 8 mg kg(-1), the children were significantly calmer than those of the other groups, and anaesthesia induction was more comfortable. Recovery from anaesthesia was longer in the group receiving ketamine 8 mg kg(-1) compared with the other groups, but no differences between the groups were observed after 2 h in the recovery room. Conclusions: It is concluded that oral ketamine 8 mg kg is an effective oral premedication in inpatient children undergoing elective surgery.Öğe Effects of high-dose propofol on succinylcholine-induced fasciculations and myalgia(Wiley, 2003) Kararmaz, A; Kaya, S; Turhanoglu, S; Ozyilmaz, MABackground: The purpose of this prospective study was to determine the effects of high-dose propofol on the incidence of fasciculations and myalgia, and to evaluate changes in creatine kinase levels following the administration of succinylcholine in 90 women who underwent laparoscopy. Methods: Patients were randomly assigned to one of three groups. Induction of anesthesia was performed with thiopentone 5 mg kg(-1) in Group I (n = 30), propofol 2 mg kg(-1) in Group II (n = 30), and propofol 3.5 mg kg(-1) in Group III (n = 30). Then succinylcholine 1 mg kg(-1) was administered to the patients for intubation. Results: Fasciculation was absent in 20% of Group III patients, and no vigorous fasciculation occurred in this group. Furthermore, the severity of fasciculation in Group III was significantly lower than in the other two groups (P = 0.01). Seventy per cent of patients had no myalgia in Group III, 39.2% in Group II and 37% in Group I (P = 0.007). Severity of myalgia was also significantly lower in Group III compared with the other two groups (P = 0.011). Post-operative creatine kinase levels were significantly higher than their baseline values in Groups I and II (P < 0.0001). Conclusion: Administration of propofol 3.5 mg kg(-1) is effective in reducing fasciculations and myalgia after succinylcholine.Öğe Intraoperative intravenous ketamine in combination with epidural analgesia: Postoperative analgesia after renal surgery(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2003) Kararmaz, A; Kaya, S; Karaman, H; Turhanoglu, S; Ozyilmaz, MAWe designed this double-blinded, randomized, controlled study to evaluate the effect of small-dose ketamine IV in combination with epidural morphine and bupivacaine on postoperative pain after renal surgery. An epidural catheter was inserted, and the administration of morphine and bupivacaine was started before surgery. Forty patients were assigned to one of two groups (ketamine or control). The ketamine group was administered a ketamine bolus and infusion during surgery. The median visual analog pain scale (VAS) scores at rest were significantly lower in the ketamine group during the first 6 h (P < 0.01). VAS pain scores on coughing were also significantly lower in the ketantine group (P < 0.01). Cumulative postoperative total analgesic consumption was less in the ketamine group on Days 1 and 2 (P < 0.001). The first analgesic demand time was shorter in the control group (9.2 +/- 11.5 min) than in the ketamine group (22.3 +/- 17.1 min) (P < .0001). The incidence of nausea and pruritus was more frequent in the control group (P < 0.05). In conclusion, postoperative analgesia was more effective when spinal cord and brain sensitization were blocked by a combination of epidural morphine/ bupivacaine and IV ketamine.Öğe Low-dose bupivacaine-fentanyl spinal anaesthesia for transurethral prostatectomy(Wiley, 2003) Kararmaz, A; Kaya, S; Turhanoglu, S; Ozyilmaz, MAWe evaluated the effect of low-dose bupivacaine plus fentanyl administered intrathecally in elderly patients undergoing transurethral prostatectomy. Patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Group F received plain bupivacaine 4 mg with 25 mug of fentanyl and sterile water to a total of 1.5 ml, and Group B received only 0.5% plain bupivacaine 7.5 mg for spinal anaesthesia. Sensory block was adequate for surgery in all patients. The mean level of motor block was higher and the duration of motor block was longer in Group B (p<0.0001). Hypotension and shivering were significantly more common in Group B (p<0.05). The addition of fentanyl 25 mug to plain bupivacaine 4 mg provides adequate analgesia for transurethral prostatectomy with fewer side-effects in elderly patients when compared with the conventional dose of bupivacaine.Öğe Lung perfusion in hemorrhagic shock of rats: The effects of resuscitation with whole blood, saline or Hes 6%(Tohoku Univ Medical Press, 2001) Turhanoglu, S; Kaya, S; Kararmaz, A; Turhanoglu, ADThis study was undertaken to determine the effects of various resuscitation regimens on lung perfusion following resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock. Fourty male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) were used. The rats were divided randomly into four groups (n = 10 for each) and were sedated with intramuscular ketamine (100 mg/kg). We measured blood pressure, rectal temperature and lung perfusion using radioscintigraphy with a technetium colloid indicator. The systolic blood pressure was decreased 75% by removing blood via v. jugularis in the first three groups and group 4 was accepted as the control group, and blood volume was not diminished. Then the first three groups were resuscitated with autologous blood containing 125 units heparine/ml in group 1, saline in group 2, and hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 6% in group 3. After the correction of hypovolemia, all animals were injected 100 Bg (0.1 cc) technetium 99 in macroaggregated albumin (Tc-99m MAA) via penil vein. After injection of Tc-99m MAA, 3 minutes fixed images were detected by a gamma camera in posterior position at 15 minutes and 5 hours. Tc-99m MAA wash out rate in lung was determined quantitatively at 5 hours. Compared to a control group, lung perfusion was decreased significantly in groups resuscitated with saline, and HES 6% while perfusion was restored with autologous blood. We conclude that heparinized autologous blood saved lung capillary circulation in hemorrhagic shock in rats.

Methods: Thirty minutes before induction of anaesthesia, 80 children who were undergoing adenotonsillectomy with or without bilateral myringotomy and insertion of tubes received either ketamine 6 mg(.)kg(-1) per oral in group K or sour cherry juice alone in group C. Anaesthesia was maintained with desflurane. Emergence and recovery times were recorded. Tramadol was used for postoperative analgesia. Fentanyl (1 mug(.)kg(-1)) was administered for the treatment of emergence agitation or severe pain that still continued after tramadol administration. Postoperative behaviour was evaluated using a 5-point agitation scale. Results: The incidence of emergence agitation was 56% in group C, and 18% in group K (P = 0.001). There was no significant difference with respect to emergence times except from time to eye opening that was significantly longer in group K (P < 0.0001). Conclusion: Oral ketamine premedication reduced the incidence of postanaesthesia emergence agitation in children without delaying recovery.Öğe Paraplegia in association with spinal/epidural anaesthesia caused by unrecognised vertebral metastasis - Reply(Blackwell Munksgaard, 2003) Kararmaz, A[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Which administration route of fentanyl better enhances the spread of spinal anaesthesia: intravenous, intrathecal or both?(Blackwell Munksgaard, 2003) Kararmaz, A; Kaya, S; Turhanoglu, S; Ozyilmaz, MABackground: To enhance the spread of spinal anaesthesia, fentanyl may be administered intrathecally (i.t.) or intravenously (i.v.). The purpose of this prospective study was to investigate the effects of fentanyl administered i.v., i.t. or concurrently by both i.v. and spinal routes on the spread of spinal anaesthesia. Methods: Sixty patients were randomly assigned to one of three groups. In Groups I and II, spinal anaesthesia was performed with plain bupivacaine 10 mg plus 20 mg fentanyl and in Group III with 10 mg of plain bupivacaine. The level of first peak sensory block was marked. In addition, fentanyl 50 mg was administered i.v. in Groups II and III or by saline in Group I after the sensory blockade reached the highest dermatomal level. Ten minutes after i.v. administration, the level of the second peak sensory block was marked. The distance between the first- and second-highest levels of sensory block was measured. Results: The distance between the first- and second-highest level of sensory block was significantly different for the three groups: Group II ( 5.8 +/- 2.6 cm)> Group III (2.9 +/- 2.1 cm) > Group I ( - 0.15 +/- 1.7 cm). The peak dermatomal level of spinal block was significantly higher in Group II [ T4 ( T3 - T7)] than in Group I [ T6 ( T4 - T9)] and Group III [ T6 ( T4-T8)]. In Groups I and II the sensory block regressed to S2 for a longer period of time than it did in Group III. Conclusion: Both the spinal and systemic administration of fentanyl enhanced the spread of spinal anaesthesia. The co-administration of spinal and i.v. fentanyl produced a greater increase in the cephalad spread of spinal block.
