Item Reversal of Rocuronium Induced Neuromuscular Block with Sugammadex in Patients Under 2 Years of Age. A Series of 280 Cases(2023) Ozmete, Ozlem; Dardag, Emre; Civi, Soner; 38131376AIM: Neuromuscular muscle relaxants are still indispensable for surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia, and the use of these agents may result in postoperative residual curarization. Sugammadex may offer a distinct advantage to pediatric patients where residual neuromuscular blockade may be poorly tolerated. Sugammadex is approved for use in adults and children over two years. This is the main reason why large-scale studies could not be conducted in the group of patients younger than two years old. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sugammadex for reversing deep rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade in children under two years of age. METHODS: Pediatric patients younger than two years of age who underwent neurosurgery under sevoflurane anesthesia were included in the study. Neuromuscular block was achieved by the administration of rocuronium. It was antagonized by the administration of 5 mg/kg sugammadex and evaluated using train-of-four (TOF). Primary outcome measure was the time from sugammadex administration to return of the TOF ratio to 0,9. Postoperative adverse events were also recorded. RESULTS: Two hundred eighty patients (10 day-24 months of age; 3-18 kg) were included in this study. Reversal of deep rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block with sugammadex was rapid in all patients. No residual curarization or recurarization was observed. No adverse events or hypersensitivity reactions were observed after administration of sugammadex. CONCLUSION: Reversal of rocuronium-induced deep neuromuscular block in infants was rapid and safe. Sugammadex provided safe extubation in patients younger than two years of age who had undergone neurosurgery.

Surgical treatment is usually suggested to patients with severe symptoms. In this study, we aimed to examine the effect of the dominant hand on the clinical results of CTS decompression surgery. Methods: Fifty (5M, 45F) patients were included in the study. The Edinburgh Handedness Inventory was used to identify the dominant hand of patients included in the study. Visual analogue scale (VAS) values were evaluated pre- and postoperatively. Results: Twenty-eight patients underwent surgery on the dominant hand and 22 patients had surgery to their non-dominant hand. The VAS values of patients who underwent non-dominant hand surgery were lower than those who underwent surgery on the dominant hand. Conclusion: In our study, it was determined that patient complacency after surgical procedures performed on dominant hands was less when compared with the non-dominant side. We believe that suitable exercise and protection programs for dominant hands in the postoperative period of carpal tunnel surgery, in addition to a good and careful surgical technique, positively affects the results of surgical treatment.Item Effects of Quercetin on Chronic Constriction Nerve Injury in an Experimental Rat Model(2016) Civi, Soner; Emmez, Gokcen; Dere, Umit Akin; Borcek, Alp Ozgun; Emmez, Hakan; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1055-5152; 26960544; U-2400-2018Flavonoids are popular substances in the literature, with proven effects on cardiovascular, neoplastic and neurodegenerative diseases. Antioxidant effect is the most pronounced and studied one. Among thousands of flavonoids, quercetin (QUE) is a prototype with significant antioxidant effects. This study aims to demonstrate the effects of QUE in an experimental rat model of chronic constriction injury (CCI). A two-level study was designed with 42 adult Wistar rats that were randomly assigned to different groups. In the first part, animals in sham, control, quercetin, morphine and gabapentine groups received chronic constriction injury to their sciatic nerves and received a single dose of QUE, morphine and gabapentine. In the second part, different dose regimens of QUE were administered to different groups of animals. Pre-injury and post-injury assessments for mechanical hypersensitivity, thermal sensitivity, locomotor activity and anxiety were recorded and statistical comparisons were performed between different groups. Comparison of QUE with morphine and gabapentine has revealed significant effects of this agent in the current chronic constriction injury model. QUE was significantly superior to Gabapentine and morphine in terms of alleviating mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity. Additionally, pre-injury administration of QUE for 4 days demonstrated long-term effectiveness on mechanical hypersensitivity. This preliminary report the on effects of QUE in a chronic constriction injury model proved significant effects of the agent, which should be supplemented with different studies using different dose regimens.Item Sugammadex Given for Rocuronium-Induced Neuromuscular Blockade in Infants: A Retrospective Study(2016) Ozmete, Ozlem; Bali, Cagla; Cok, Oya Yalcin; Turk, Hatice Evren Eker; Ozyilkan, Nesrin Bozdogan; Civi, Soner; Aribogan, Anis; 0000-0002-1055-5152; 0000-0003-3004-2626; 0000-0002-7901-0185; 0000-0002-4973-8132; 0000-0003-2615-1918; 0000-0002-4419-5693; 0000-0001-5845-699X; 27871583; AAI-7779-2021; U-2400-2018; AAI-7998-2021; AAI-8790-2021; AAI-8769-2021; S-8336-2019; AAI-7880-2021Study Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sugammadex in reversing profound neuromuscular block induced by rocuronium in infant patients. Design: Retrospective observational study. Setting: University teaching hospital. Patients: Twenty-six infants (2-12 months of age; 3-11 kg) with an American Society of Anesthesiologists classification I, II, or III who were scheduled to undergo neurosurgical procedures were included in the study. Interventions: Anesthesia was induced with 5 mg/kg thiopental, 1 mu g/kg fentanyl and 0.6 mg/kg rocuronium. Sevoflurane was administered to all patients after intubation. Methods: The neuromuscular block was monitored with acceleromyography using train-of-four (TOF) stimuli. Patients received additional doses of rocuronium to maintain a deep block during surgery. If profound neuromuscular block (TOF, 0) persisted at the end of the surgery, 3 mg/kg sugammadex was administered. Measurements: The demographic data, surgeries, and anesthetic agents were recorded. The time from sugammadex administration to recovery of neuromuscular function (TOF ratio, >0.9) and complications during and after extubation were also recorded. Main results: Twenty-six infants who had a deep neuromuscular block (TOF, 0) at the end of surgery received 3 mg/kg sugammadex. The mean recovery time of the T4/T1 ratio of 0.9 was 112 seconds. No clinical evidence of recurarization or residual curarization was observed. Conclusions: The efficacy and safety of sugammadex were confirmed in infant surgical patients for reversal of deep neuromuscular block induced by rocuronium. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.

It is thus to provide alternative solutions to this problem which we often see in clinical practice and whose results are not satisfactory. METHODS: In our study, 40 adult, male, Sprague-Dawley rats; 5 groups were randomly assigned Group 1: This group's sciatic nerves were dissected and the surgical site was sutured. Group 2: Rats whose sciatic nerves are sectioned transversely through the fill-thickness and end-to-end anastomosis is performed and no additional procedure is performed. Group 3: Intraperitoneal administration of 30 mg / kg pregabalin for 7 days with anastomosis. Group 4: 30 mg/kg pregabalin given orally for 7 days with anastomosis. Group 5: Given 10 microliters / h pregabalin subcutaneous perineural infusion for 7 days with anastomosis. After 60 days of surgery, the experiment was terminated with high dose thiopental (50 mg/kg). The right sciatic nerves of all animals were taken and sections obtained were examined immunohistopathologically. RESULTS: Inflammation was significantly less in the 5th group than in the other groups. TGF-beta expression in Groups 3, 4, and 5 is significantly higher than Groups 1 and 2, which also supports this situation. Although the expression in group 5 was not statistically significant, the number of TGF-beta expression was higher than Groups 3 and 4. In terms of immunohistochemical properties; 1 to 3, 1 to 4, 1 to 5, 2 to 5 groups were statistically significant (p<0,05). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, perinural infusion of pregabalin into the anastomotic region has not been previously tried in the literature and it has been found that immunohistochemistry provides positive contributions to healing of anastomosis. More research is needed to demonstrate that this effect is superior to other methods of administration of the drug.
