    Background: The aim of this post hoc analysis of a large cohort study was to evaluate the association between night-time surgery and the occurrence of intraoperative adverse events (AEs) and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). Methods: LAS VEGAS (Local Assessment of Ventilatory Management During General Anesthesia for Surgery) was a prospective international 1-week study that enrolled adult patients undergoing surgical procedures with general anaesthesia and mechanical ventilation in 146 hospitals across 29 countries. Surgeries were defined as occurring during `daytime' when induction of anaesthesia was between 8: 00 AM and 7: 59 PM, and as `night-time' when induction was between 8: 00 PM and 7: 59 AM. Results: Of 9861 included patients, 555 (5.6\%) underwent surgery during night-time. The proportion of patients who developed intraoperative AEs was higher during night-time surgery in unmatched (43.6\% vs 34.1\%

    Microcirculatory Response to Blood vs. Crystalloid Cardioplegia During Coronary Artery BypassGrafting With Cardiopulmonary Bypass
    (FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2022-01-01) Aykut, Gueclue; Ulugoel, Halim; Aksu, Ugur; Akin, Sakir; Karabulut, Hasan; Alhan, Cem; Toraman, Fevzi; Ince, Can
    Background: Blood cardioplegia attenuates cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-induced systemic inflammatory response in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, which may favorably influence the microvascular system in this cohort. The aim of this study was to investigate whether blood cardioplegia would offer advantages over crystalloid cardioplegia in the preservation of microcirculation in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with CPB.Methods: In this prospective observational cohort study, 20 patients who received crystalloid (n = 10) or blood cardioplegia (n = 10) were analyzed. The microcirculatory measurements were obtained sublingually using incident dark-field imaging at five time points ranging from the induction of anesthesia (T-0) to discontinuation of CPB (T-5).Results: In the both crystalloid {[}crystalloid cardioplegia group (CCG)] and blood cardioplegia {[}blood cardioplegia group (BCG)] groups, perfused vessel density (PVD), total vessel density (TVD), and proportion of perfused vessels (PPV) were reduced after the beginning of CPB. The observed reduction in microcirculatory parameters during CPB was only restored in patients who received blood cardioplegia and increased to baseline levels as demonstrated by the percentage changes from T-0 to T-5 (\%Delta)(T0-T5) in all the functional microcirculatory parameters {[}\%Delta TVDT0-T5(CCG): -10.86 +/- 2.323 vs. \%Delta TVDT0-T5(BCG): 0.0804 +/- 1.107, p < 0.001

    Effects of short-term hyperoxic ventilation on lung, kidney, heart, and liver in a rat model: A biochemical evaluation
    (TURKISH ASSOC TRAUMA EMERGENCY SURGERY, 2021-01-01) Aksu, Ugur; Ulugol, Halim; Sungur, Mukadder Orhan; Senturk, Evren; Vardar, Kubra; Senturk, Mert; Toraman, Fevzi
    BACKGROUND: Despite studies on the adverse effects of hyperoxia, its use is still recommended by the World Health Organization. The aim of this study was to test the possible harmful effects of hyperoxia on the lung, kidney, heart, and liver in a rat mechanical ventilation model. METHODS: Male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into two groups (n=6/group): Normoxic (FiO(2): 0.3) or hyperoxic (FiO(2): 1.0) ventilation for 4 h. The injury was evaluated in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), blood, lung, liver, kidney, and heart was evaluated in terms of cell surface integrity, extracellular matrix (sialic acid, syndecan-1), osmotic stress (free hemoglobin), and redox homeostasis-lipid peroxidaation (malondialdehyde). BAL and wet/dry weight ratio were also evaluated for cellular permeability. RESULTS: Four hours of hyperoxic ventilation did not lead to significant changes in (1) sialic acid, syndecan-1, (2) malondialdehyde levels and wet/dry weight ratio in liver, kidney, heart, and lung compared to normoxic ventilation. CONCLUSION: Mechanical ventilation with hyperoxia seems to have almost similar effects compared to ventilation with normoxia. However, the long term effect of hyperoxia should be evaluated.

    Are surgical and non-operating room intervention safe in the COVID-19 pandemic? A retrospective study
    (CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2021-01-01) Yildirim, Serap Aktas; Sarikaya, Zeynep Tugce; Ulugol, Halim; Ozata, Sanem; Aksu, Ugur; Toraman, Fevzi; Grp, C. O. V. I. D.-19 Study
    Little is known about the impact of COVID-19 on the outcomes of patients undergoing surgery and intervention. This study was conducted between 20 March and 20 May 2020 in six hospitals in Istanbul, and aimed to investigate the effects of surgery and intervention on COVID-19 disease progression, intensive care (ICU) need, mortality and virus transmission to patients and healthcare workers. Patients were examined in three groups: group I underwent emergency surgery, group II had an emergency non-operating room intervention, and group III received inpatient COVID-19 treatment but did not have surgery or undergo intervention. Mortality rates, mechanical ventilation needs and rates of admission to the ICU were compared between the three groups. During this period, patient and healthcare worker transmissions were recorded. In total, 1273 surgical, 476 non-operating room intervention patients and 1884 COVID-19 inpatients were examined. The rate of ICU requirement among patients who had surgery was nearly twice that for inpatients and intervention patients, but there was no difference in mortality between the groups. The overall mortality rates were 2.3\% in surgical patients, 3.3\% in intervention patients and 3\% in inpatients. COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction positivity among hospital workers was 2.4\%. Only 3.3\% of infected frontline healthcare workers were anaesthesiologists. No deaths occurred among infected healthcare workers. We conclude that emergency surgery and non-operating room interventions during the pandemic period do not increase postoperative mortality and can be performed with low transmission rates.

    Replacement of the Ascending Aorta for Severe Atherosclerosis During Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
    (WILEY, 2012-01-01) Gullu, Ahmet Umit; Okten, Eyup Murat; Akay, Mehmet Hakan; Senay, Sahin; Kocyigit, Muharrem; Toraman, Fevzi; Karabulut, E. Hasan; Alhan, Cem
    Background and Aim: In the present study, we investigated the benefit of ascending aorta replacement in patients with severe aortic atherosclerosis who undergo coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Methods: From January 2001 to April 2011, 3842 patients underwent CABG and in 36 of these patients (31 male, 5 female) the ascending aorta was replaced due to severe atherosclerosis. Total circulatory arrest was used in 22 patients (61\%). The patients were followed for 69 +/- 36 months (1-133 months) and compared to a control group of patients. The control group consisted of patients who underwent CABG with or without a concomitant procedure (n = 3806). Results: For the study group, the mean additive and logistic Euroscores of the patients were nine and 20, respectively. One stroke (2.8\%) was observed and this patient died in the early postoperative period. There were a total of four confirmed deaths (12\%) at any time point over the length of the follow-up among the patients who were discharged from the hospital. Two of them died of malignancy (lung and gastric tumors) and the other two from cardiac reasons. No patients had a stroke during follow-up. For the control group the mean age was 61 +/- 1, the stroke rate was 0.6\%, and the mortality rate was 0.96\%, and the mean logistic and additive Euroscores were 3.7 +/- 4.4, and 3.5 +/- 2.5, respectively. Conclusions: Replacement of highly calcified ascending aortas during CABG can be safely performed in selected patients with good long-term outcomes. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8191.2012.01510.x (J Card Surg 2012

    Is the Nexfin finger cuff method for cardiac output measurement reliable during coronary artery bypass grafting? A prospective comparison with the echocardiography and FloTrac/Vigileo methods
    (TUBITAK SCIENTIFIC \& TECHNICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL TURKEY, 2016-01-01) Ariturk, Cem; Acil, Meltem; Ulugol, Halim; Ozgen, Zehra Serpil Ustalar; Okten, Eyup Murat; Dagdelen, Sinan; Karabulut, Esref Hasan; Alhan, Huseyin Cem; Toraman, Fevzi
    Background/aim: The aim of the current study was to assess the accuracy of cardiac output (CO) measurements obtained by the Nexfin finger cuff method as compared with the FloTrac/Vigileo and echocardiography methods in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients. Materials and methods: First-time elective CABG patients were prospectively enrolled in this study and divided into three groups according to CO measurement method. CO measurements were performed simultaneously by three different contributors and were collected by the fourth one 24 h postoperative in the intensive care unit (ICU). Data were statistically analyzed. Results: Seventeen female and 13 male patients between 42 and 78 years of age (with a mean of 56 +/- 4) were the subjects of this study. The mean CO measurements were 5.9 +/- 1.4 L/min, 5.8 +/- 1.1 L/min, and 6.0 +/- 1.1 L/min for the Nexfin, FloTrac/Vigileo, and echocardiography methods, respectively (P > 0.05). The correlation values between Nexfin and FloTrac/Vigileo, Nexfin and echocardiography, and FloTrac/Vigileo and echocardiography were r = 0.445, r = 0.377, and r = 0.384, respectively (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Nexfin yielded results comparable to those obtained with FloTrac/Vigileo and echocardiography for the postoperative CO assessment of CABG patients. Nexfin may be used in uncomplicated, hemodynamically stable patients in ICU as a reliable and totally noninvasive method of CO measurement.
