Item EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT OF DIFFICULT AIRWAY IN OBESITY: A SINGLE CENTER RETROSPECTIVE STUDY(2016) Ayhan, Asude; Kaplan, Serife; Kayhan, Zeynep; Arslan, Gulnaz; 27276769The primary aim of this single center retrospective study was to evaluate difficult mask ventilation (DMV) and difficult laryngoscopy (DL) in a unique group of obese patients. A total of 427 adult patients with body mass index (BMI) >= 25 and surgically treated for endometrial cancer from 2011 to 2014 were assessed. Additional increase in BMI, comorbidities, bedside screening tests for risk factors, and the tools used to manage the patients were noted and their effects on DMV and/or DL investigated. Every escalation in the number of risk factors increased the probability of DMV 2.2-fold, DL 1.8-fold and DMV+DL 3.0-fold. Among bedside tests, limited neck movement (LNM), short neck (SN) and absence of teeth were significant for DMV (p<0.05), LNM, SN and obstructive sleep apnea for DL (p<0.05), and LNM and SN for DMV+DL (p<0.05). However, a 10-point increase of BMI was not an independent risk factor when patients with BMI >25% were considered. In conclusion, LNM and SN are independent risk factors for developing DMV and/or DL in obese endometrial cancer patients, while BMI increase over 30 was not additionally affecting difficult airway.Item Obese patients require higher, but not high pneumatic tourniquet inflation pressures using a novel technique during total knee arthroplasty(2018) Tuncali, Bahatin; Boya, Hakan; Kayhan, Zeynep; Arac, Sukru; 0000-0003-0579-1115; 0000-0002-7898-2943; 0000-0001-6110-4004; 29526158; AAJ-4623-2021; AAJ-7840-2021; AAJ-7840-2021Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effect of obesity on pneumatic tourniquet inflation pressures determined with a novel formula during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patients and methods: Data of 208 patients (19 males, 199 females; mean age 69.8 years; range, 53 to 84 years) who were performed TKA between January 2013 and December 2016 were evaluated prospectively. Patients were divided into two groups as non-obese (body mass index [BMI] <= 30.0 kg/m(2)) and obese (BMI > 30.0 kg/m(2)) according to BMI. Tourniquet inflation pressures were set using arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) estimation method and adding 20 mmHg of safety margin to AOP value. All patients were assessed intra-and postoperatively with outcome measures such as systolic blood pressure, AOP, tourniquet pressure and its effectiveness. The quality of the surgical field and complications were assessed by the surgical team in a blinded fashion. Results: The study included 118 and 90 lower extremity operations in obese and non-obese groups, respectively. Compared to non-obese group; extremity circumference, initial and maximal systolic blood pressures, AOP values, initial and maximal tourniquet pressures were higher in obese group. The performance of the tourniquet was assessed as "excellent" and "good" at almost all stages of the surgical procedure in all patients in both groups. No complication occurred intra-or postoperatively. Conclusion: Compared to non-obese patients, higher tourniquet inflation pressure is required in obese patients during TKA due to their wider extremity circumference and higher systolic blood pressure profile.Item Tourniquet pressure settings based on limb occlusion pressure determination or arterial occlusion pressure estimation in total knee arthroplasty? A prospective, randomized, double blind trial(2018) Tuncali, Bahattin; Boya, Hakan; Kayhan, Zeynep; Arac, Sukru; 29752149; W-7391-2019Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the limb occlusion pressure (LOP) determination and arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) estimation methods for tourniquet pressure setting in adult patients undergoing knee arthroplasty under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia. Methods: Ninety-three patients were randomized into two groups. Pneumatic tourniquet inflation pressures were adjusted based either on LOP determination or AOP estimation in Group 1 (46 patients, 38 female and 8 male; mean age: 67.71 +/- 9.17) and Group 2 (47 patients, 40 female and 7 male; mean age: 70.31 +/- 8.27), respectively. Initial and maximal systolic blood pressures, LOP/AOP levels, required time to estimate AOP/determinate LOP and set the cuff pressure, initial and maximal tourniquet pressures and tourniquet time were recorded. The effectiveness of the tourniquet was assessed by the orthopedic surgeons using a Likert scale. Results: Initial and maximal systolic blood pressures, determined LOP, estimated AOP, duration of tourniquet and the performance of the tourniquet were not different between groups. However, the initial (182.44 +/- 14.59 mm Hg vs. 200.69 +/- 15.55 mm Hg) and maximal tourniquet pressures (186.91 +/- 12.91 mm Hg vs. 200.69 +/- 15.55 mm Hg) were significantly lower, the time required to estimate AOP and set the tourniquet cuff pressure was significantly less (23.91 +/- 4.77 s vs. 178.81 +/- 25.46 s) in Group II (p = 0.000). No complications that could be related to the tourniquet were observed during or after surgery. Conclusion: Tourniquet inflation pressure setting based on AOP estimation method provides a bloodless surgical field that is comparable to that of LOP determination method with lower pneumatic inflation pressure and less required time for cuff pressure adjustment in adult patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty under combined spinal epidural anesthesia.
