It has been shown in studies that the main cause of this noise pollution consist of the behavior related to the operating room personel and the surgical equipment. These higher than normal noise levels may increase stress and decrease communication and performance, apart from the negative health effects on the operating team. In this study, we aimed to explore the sources of noise pollution and the place of music on these effects on anesthesiology and surgical doctors. Questions formulated through a questionnaire have been asked to the anesthesiology and surgical department physicians on a voluntary basis, and their approach to the concept of noise has been assessed. The study was planned as a descriptive study. In total, highest impact from noise pollution was found to be the aspirator (74.3%), chatting (55.4%), noises from the monitors (54.8%), alarms (48.6%), surgical material (25.9%) and music (23.8%). Noise had the most impact on the concentration of the doctors with a rate of 61.9%. Anesthesiologists, when compared to other surgical department physicians, were found to be impacted most by music with 37.2%. It is not realistic to eliminate all the noise and distraction. On the other hand, it can be minimalized through sufficient measures. Yet, general measures to keep the silence isn’t too likely to keep the noise down during long operations. Whereas music stays as a matter of personal choice. Controlled studies on whether to keep or not the music in the operating rooms aren’t yet sufficient, due to which, general recommendations do not apply. As a result of this study, we have found that while music might have performance increasing effects, it still has a potential as a distraction and interfere with the communication in the operating room.展开更多

It is a genetic disorder that may result in Ventricular Fibrillations (VF) that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest. The highest possible standards of safety in anesthetic medications must be followed and adequate measures must be taken with sufficient monitorization in patients with BrS. We wanted to mention the importance of monitorization in the early detection of possible complications and a careful follow-up even though no administration of anesthetic medication is present.展开更多

In our clinical practice, we have observed that agitation and pain were less in the postoperative period when the cannula was inserted site. Cannulation anxiety in adults and especially in children may increase the failure of interventions by activating the sympathetic system in varying degrees we aimed to investigate whether the site of the cannula inserted following the induction of inhalation is associated with postoperative agitation and pain in preschool children who would undergo an otolaryngology operation. Methods: Pediatric patients who would undergo adenoidectomy-tonsillectomy surgery between the ages of 3 - 7 were included in our study regardless of their genders. The patients have been randomly distributed into groups (Group E—hand, Group A—foot). The evaluation was performed 0 and 30 minutes after extubation by FLAAC Pain Scala and PAED. Results: When the hand and foot groups were compared in terms of P0 (PAED 0 min. rating) values, hand group results were statistically significantly higher. Similarly, at the time of P30 (PAED 30. min rating), The Hand group was determined to be high. Conclusion: As a result of the study, we believe that choosing the feet as the cannulation site may be useful in appropriate cases in pediatric patients.展开更多
