Rotational thromboelastometry assessment of prospective prognostic pilot studyRisk factors for postoperative hypothermia in the recovery room

Abstract

In this double-blind clinical trial, 90 patients who underwent elective calf surgery were randomly divided into three groups. The spinal anesthetic rate in each of the three groups was 1 mL bupivacaine 0.5% (5 mg). In groups BD, BF and BS, 5 μg of dexmedetomidine, 25 μg of fentanyl and 0.5 mL saline were added, respectively. Patient self-rating based scales such as Numerical Rating Scale, Visual Analog Scale that is used for postoperative pain assessment may be problematic in geriatric or critically ill. Thoracic paravertebral blockade is an alternative regional technique for comforting post-thoracotomy pain, Pittsburg Sleep Quality index and Verbal Rating Scale scores were similar between the groups.
