    Detection of a retained epidural catheter fragment
    (W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2006) Gülcü, Nebahat; Karaaslan, Kazım; Kandıralı, Engin; Kocoğlu, Hasan
    Poor operator technique, faulty design, partial tearing, kinking or knotting, and entrapment by the supraspinous and intraspinous ligaments may cause breakage of epidural catheters during insertion or removal.1 We present a case in which an epidural catheter fragment could be revealed in the epidural space only by an ultrasonographic scan.

    Effect of epidural levobupivacaine and levobupivacaine with fentanyl on stress response and postoperative analgesia after total knee replacement
    (Dustri-Verlag Dr Karl Feistle, 2013) Bayazit, Esra Gümüş; Karaaslan, Kazım; Özturan, Kutay; Serin, Erdinç; Kocoğlu, Hasan
    Background: Providing sufficient and convenient analgesia is crucial during the postoperative period after total-knee replacement (TKR) to enhance patient mobility and reduce stress response to surgery. The scope of this study is to compare the effects of levobupivacaine and levobupivacaine plus fentanyl on stress response and analgesic efficiency after TKR. Method: In this study, 40 ASA I - II patients scheduled to undergo TKR were subjected to combined spinal epidural anesthesia (CSEA) injecting of 15 mg levobupivacaine and randomly assigned to receive either levobupivacaine 0.125% (Group L) or levobupivacaine 0.125% plus fentanyl 4 mu g ml(-1) (Group F) during postoperative period via the epidural route. Patient controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) was offered for 24 hours. Venous blood samples were assayed for ach-enocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol and prolactin levels before surgery and after analgesia administration. Analgesia was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) at rest (VASR) and during movement (VASM). Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of total doses, bolus requests, bolus delivered and side effects (p > 0.05). The ACTH, cortisol and prolactin levels increased following the surgery and decreased during PCA infusion in both groups where the decline in Group F was significant (p < 0.05) at 24 hours after the analgesic treatment and 48 hours after the surgery. Conclusion: We have demonstrated that infusion of levobupivacaine (0.125%) in combination with fentanyl (4 jig ml-1) using PCEA suppressed stress response to surgery significantly and provided better pain relief than levobupivacaine (0.125%) alone after TKR.

    Pseudo-subarachnoid hemorrhage and death after a bee sting
    (Medical Association of Zenica-Doboj Canton, 2013) Tekelioğlu, Ümit Yaşar; Demirhan, Abdullah; Akkaya, Akcan; Gürel, Kamil; Ocak, Tarık; Duran, Arif; Kocoğlu, Hasan
    We report a case of a 33-year-old woman who developed severe brain edema and pseudo-subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) at 36-hour follow-up after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation for anaphylactic shock as a result of a bee sting. The patient died on the sixth day of the follow-up due to multiple organ failure and brain herniation. Our case suggests that the SAH–like indings on computed tomography scanning were not a new complication (“real” SAH) arising from the bee sting; rather, it was a pseudo-SAH related to prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation).
