Publication The effect of combined pulsed radiofrequency treatment to dorsal root ganglion with transforaminal epidural steroid injection on pain(Kare Publ, 2021-01-10) Çalışkan, Duygu Karaköse; Akesen, Selcan; Türker, Yunus Gürkan; Gurbet, Alp; AKESEN, SELCAN; TÜRKER, YUNUS GÜRKAN; GURBET, ALP; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Anesteziyoloji ve Reanimasyon Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-3019-581X; 0000-0002-6503-8232; 0000-0002-9518-541X; AAI-6642-2021; A-7994-2018; ELR-9087-2022Objectives: We aimed to compare the treatment response with simultaneous application of transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TESI) and pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) to the lumbar dorsal root ganglion (DRG) with TESI in patients with chronic lumbar radicular pain.Methods: A total of 129 patients were enrolled. TESI was performed to 67 patients and TESI+DRG-PRF was performed to 62 patients. Demographic data, surgical records, and medications, side, and level of the procedure were recorded. Patients were evaluated on the pre-operative and post-operative 10th day, 1st and 3rd month follow-up visits, and visual analog scale (VAS, 0-10) scores, and patients' satisfaction assessment on the 3rd month follow-up were collected. A successful therapeutic response was defined as a 50% or more reduction in VAS scores.Results: In both groups, post-operative VAS scores were significantly lower than the pre-operative levels (p<0.001). VAS scores in the TESI+DRG-PRF group were significantly lower than the TESI group at all follow-up periods (p<0.001). Reduction ratios in VAS scores were significantly higher in the TESI+DRG-PRF group in all follow-up visits (p<-0.001). Satisfaction levels were significantly higher in the TESI+DRG-PRF group (p<0.01).Conclusion: According to our study, TESI provides short-moderate pain relief in patients with chronic lumbar radicular pain. A simultaneous application of PRF in the same session with TESI should be considered as an option to improve the treatment response.Publication Detecting coagulability status by thromboelastography in women with the history of preeclampsia and inherited thrombophilia(Canada Inc, 2015-01-01) Bülbül, Mehmet; Atalay, Mehmet Aral; Demir, Bilge Çetinkaya; Türker, Gürkan; Esmer, A.; Atalay, Mehmet Aral; ÇETİNKAYA DEMİR, BİLGE; TÜRKER, YUNUS GÜRKAN; Esmer, A.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Jinekoloji Bölümü; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Anestezi ve Reanimat Bölümü; 0000-0002-9685-956X; 0000-0001-6845-9991; 0000-0002-3019-581X; AAI-6642-2021; AAH-9834-2021Objective: To assign tendency to thrombosis in patients with preeclampsia and inherited thrombophilia using thromboelastography (TEG), and therefore to evaluate possible relationship between thrombophilia and preeclampsia. Materials and Methods: Kinetics of clot formation was assessed with TEG analyzer in 49 patients with severe preeclampsia, 54 cases with previous diagnosis of inherited thrombophilia, and 31 controls. Results: 'r', 'k', TMA, coagulation index (CI) parameters were found statistically discrete between patients with inherited thrombophilia and controls. The difference between preeclampsia and control groups was not statistically significant. The difference in a angle was statistically significant between thrombophilics and preeclamptics (p = 0.01), and between thrombophilics and controls (p = 0.004). CI was found statistically lower in thrombophilia group than control group (p = 0.006). Particularly, clot lysis time (CLT) was measured to shorten in preeclampsia when compared with controls and patients with thrombophilia (p = 0.032, p = 0.028, respectively). Conclusions: Not only the inherited thrombophilia group but also preeclampsia group demonstrated elongated clot initiation patterns when compared to the controls. Moreover, apart from the patients with inherited thrombophilia, preeclamptics exposed shorter CLT values indicating a possible increment in clot turn over, which eventually results in increased depletion of coagulation substrates, and thus, increased frequencies of oxidative cycle injury.Publication Preemptive analgesic effects of intravenous paracetamol in total abdominal hysterectomy(Kare Publ, 2009-04-01) Arıcı, Semih; Gurbet, Alp; Türker, Gürkan; Yavaşcaoğlu, Belgin; Şahin, Şükran; Arıcı, Semih; GURBET, ALP; TÜRKER, YUNUS GÜRKAN; YAVAŞCAOĞLU, BELGİN; Şahin, Şükran; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Anestezi ve Reanimasyon Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-6503-8232; 0000-0002-3019-581X; 0000-0003-4820-2288; A-7994-2018; AAI-7914-2021; JZE-5924-2024; AAI-6642-2021; AAG-9356-2021Objectives: Paracetamol is primarily thought to be a cyclooxygenase inhibitor acting through the central nervous system. Indirect effects of paracetamol are through the serotoninergic system as a non-opioid analgesic. In this study, total abdominal hysterectomy patients were given intravenous (iv) paracetamol 1 g preoperatively or intraoperatively to assess its postoperative analgesic effects.Methods: 90 patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy were enrolled into the study. Patients were randomized into three groups: in Group I, iv paracetamol 1 g was given 30 minutes prior to induction. In Group II, iv paracetamol 1 g was given prior to skin closure. Group III served as the control group and received saline as placebo. Postoperatively, all patients received morphine via patient-controlled analgesia pump. Postoperatively, rest and activity pain scores, sedation scores, hemodynamic parameters, postoperative morphine consumption, side effects, patient satisfaction, and total hospital stay were recorded.Results: In the control group, at rest and movement pain scores and total morphine consumption via patient-controlled analgesia were higher than in Groups I and II. When Groups I and II were compared, total morphine consumption was much greater in Group II. Intravenous paracetamol intraoperatively and postoperatively did not result in any hemodynamic effects.Conclusion: In total abdominal hysterectomy, preemptive iv paracetamol 1 g provided good quality postoperative analgesia, with decreased consumption of morphine and minimal side effects.
