Öğe Bispectral Index Monitoring to Guide End-Tidal Isoflurane Concentration at Three Phases of Operation in Patients With End-Stage Liver Disease Undergoing Orthotopic Liver Transplantation(Elsevier Science Inc, 2011) Toprak, H. I.; Sener, A.; Gedik, E.; Ucar, M.; Karahan, K.; Aydogan, M. S.; Ersoy, M. O.It has been shown that anesthetic requirements during liver transplantation are inversely proportional to the degree of hepatic dysfunction. We investigate alterations during the three phases of requirements for intraoperative isoflurane within the target of 40 to 55 Bispectral Index (BIS) values concerning patients with end-stage liver disease who are undergoing liver transplantation. After faculty ethics committee approval, we studied 50 patients of (age range, 18 to 65 years) who were undergoing liver transplantation. After induction, we used isoflurane with air/oxygen (FiO(2) = 0.5%) for anesthestic maintenance. The isoflurane concentration was set within the range of 40 to 55 BIS values. Remifentanil (0.15 mu g/kg/min) was infused for analgesia and cisatracurium was administered via continuous infusion. After anesthetic induction, we inserted arterial, pulmonary artery, and central venous catheters. The heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP), body temperature, BIS values, end-tidal isoflurane concentration (ETiso) and end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration (ETCO(2)) were recorded at 30-minute intervals during the dissection and neohepatic phases, at 15-minute intervals during the anhepatic phase. In addition, we calculated the cardiac index during the three phases. There was no difference in heart rates among the operative phases. In contrast, there were significant changes in MAP, MPAP, BIS, ETCO(2) and body temperature values. However, all of these parameters were in physiological ranges and clinically acceptable. The ETiso values were lowest in the anhepatic phase compared to other phases, but the differences were not clinically important. The ETiso values in the dissection and neohepatic phases were compared with the anhepatic phase higher 5% and 8.6% respectively. During liver transplantation, ETiso requirement for the anhepatic phase was lower compared with the other two phases within the range of 40 to 55 BIS values.Öğe The comparative effects of sevoflurane and propofol for electroconvulsive therapy(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2004) Toprak, H.

O.[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Comparison of Antioxidant Effects of Isoflurane and Propofol in Patients Undergoing Donor Hepatectomy(Elsevier Science Inc, 2015) Ucar, M.; Ozgul, U.; Polat, A.; Toprak, H. I.; Erdogan, M. A.; Aydogan, M. S.; Durmus, M.Background. The safety of healthy volunteer donors is one of the most important issues in living-donor liver transplantation. Use of the Pringle maneuver during donor hepatectomy can result in liver ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of isoflurane and propofol on IR injury caused by the Pringle maneuver during donor hepatectomy. Methods. A total of 70 American Society of Anesthesiology I-II donors aged 18-65 years who underwent hepatectomy were included in the study. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: propofol and isoflurane. Plasma superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), total oxidative status (TOS), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and oxidative stress index (OSI) were measured before surgery (to) and after surgery (t(1)). Results. There were no statistically significant differences in demographic features, anesthesia, and times of surgery between the groups (P > .05). Plasma TAC levels at to and t(1) were significantly lower in the propofol group than in the isoflurane group (P < .05). OSI at t(1) was significantly higher in the propofol group than in the isoflurane group (P < .05). MDA levels were significantly higher in the propofol group than in the isoflurane group at to (P < .05). MDA levels level were significantly higher in the isoflurane group than in the propofol group at t(1) (P < .05). Conclusions. Propofol may have protective effects against IR injury caused by the Pringle maneuver during donor hepatectomy in living-donor transplantations. However, the effectiveness of propofol for clinical use needs to be investigated further.Öğe Comparison of hemoglobin levels via measured with pulse co-oximeter and with lab test during living donor hepatectomy(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2018) Colak, Y.

I.; Demirbilek, S.; Erdil, F.; Onal, D.; Ersoy, M. O.Background: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the acute hyperdynamic response, duration of seizure activity and recovery times in patients undergoing electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Methods: Fourteen patients underwent a total of 84 ECT sessions as a crossover design. Patients were randomly allocated to receive either dexmedetomidine (1 mu g/kg IV over a period of 10 min) or saline (control). Anaesthesia was induced with propofol 1 mg/kg, and then succinylcholine 0.5 mg/kg IV was administered. Arterial blood pressure and heart rate (HR) were recorded during the study period. Results: HR in the dexmedetomidine group was lower than that in the control group at 5 and 10 min after the start of study drug infusion, and at 1, 3 and 10 min after the seizure ended (P < 0.05). Peak HR was lower in the dexmedetomidine group compared with that in the control group (P < 0.05). The mean arterial pressure (MAP) values in the dexmedetomidine group were lower at 0, 1, 3 and 10 min after the seizure ended compared with the control group (P < 0.05). Both motor and electroencephalography (EEG) seizure duration in the control group (35.65 +/- 14.89 and 49.07 +/- 9.94 s, respectively) were similar to that in the dexmedetomidine group (33.30 +/- 12.01 and 45.15 +/- 17.79 s, respectively) (P > 0.05). Time to spontaneous breathing, eye opening and obeying commands were not different between the groups. Conclusion: A dexmedetomidine dose of 1 mu g/kg IV administered over 10 min before the induction of anaesthesia with propofol may be useful in preventing the acute hyperdynamic responses to ECT without altering the duration of seizure activity and recovery time.Öğe Effect of Preoperative Iron Deficiency in Liver Transplant Recipients on Length of Intensive Care Unit Stay(Elsevier Science Inc, 2013) Aydogan, M. S.; Ozgul, U.; Erdogan, M. A.; Yucel, A.; Toprak, H. I.; Durmus, M.; Colak, C.Liver transplant (LT) recipients often display iron deficiency preoperatively, which significantly increases the quantity of blood that needs to be transfused intraoperatively, A risk factor for a prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine whether there was a clinically significant association between iron deficiency and the length of ICU stay, among 153 patients scheduled for OLT from September 2011 to June 2012. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to their baseline iron status: iron- deficient (ID) and non-ID (normal iron profile) cohorts. Iron deficiency was assessed on the basis of several parameters; transferrin saturation as well as serum iron, ferritin, soluble transferrin receptor, and C-reactive protein levels. We retrospectively analyzed the data regarding demographic and clinical features, preoperative laboratory values, intraoperative transfusions, and length of ICU stay. Patient demographic features and preoperative values were similar between the groups. Preoperative iron deficiency, which was diagnosed in 72 patients (58.6%), was associated with a greater intraoperative use of fresh frozen plasma and red blood cell transfusions (P = .0001). The median length of ICU stay after LT was longer among the ID versus the non-ID group (5 and 3 days per patient, respectively; P = .0001). Therefore, we have suggested that preoperative iron deficiency may be a prognostic factor for the length of ICU stay after LT.Öğe Effects of Desflurane and Isoflurane on Hepatic and Renal Functions and Coagulation Profile During Donor Hepatectomy(Elsevier Science Inc, 2012) Toprak, H. I.; Sahin, T.; Aslan, S.; Karahan, K.; Sanli, M.; Ersoy, M. O.We compared the effect of two inhalation anesthetics desflurane and isoflurane on postoperative hepatic and renal functions as well as coagulation profiles in living donors undergoing right hepatectomy. This study was performed on 80 patients who were randomly allocated to group D (desflurane, n = 40) or group I (isoflurane, n = 40) after Faculty Ethics Committee approval. After induction, isoflurane or desflurane was used with air/oxygen for anesthetic maintenance. The isoflurane or desflurane concentration was set at one minimum alveolar concentration (MAC). Remifentanil was infused for analgesia as well as cisatracurium. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), international normalized. ratio (INR), albumin, total bilirubin, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, platelet count, and hemoglobin levels were analyzed preoperatively at end of the operation, and on postoperative days (PODs) 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 30. Both AST and ALT differed significantly and continually except on POD 30. AST showed significant elevations from the end of the operation to POD 2 and ALT, from the end of the operation to POD 5 in group I compared with group D. INR was significantly higher from the end of the operation to POD 3 in group I and to POD 2 in group D. At the end of the operation as well as on POD 1 and POD 2, INR was significantly increased in group I compared with group D. Albumin level was significantly lower at the end of the operation in both groups, but it was not different. No patient developed hepatic or renal failure. Our study showed better postoperative hepatic tests and INR using desflurane than isoflurane at equivalent. doses of 1 MAC in living donors undergoing right hepatectomy.Öğe Effects of Different Positive End-Expiratory Pressure Values on Liver Function and Indocyanine Green Clearance Test in Liver Transplantation Donors: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind Study(Elsevier Science Inc, 2015) Bicakcioglu, M.; Aydogan, M. S.; Sayan, H.; Toprak, H. I.; Isik, B.; Yilmaz, S.; Yologlu, S.Introduction. The aim of this study was demonstrate the influence of different positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) values on blood flow of the liver by indocyanine green (ICG) clearance test in donor patients. Methods. ICG clearance tests were conducted concurrently using a noninvasive monitor that tracks the plasma disappearance rate of ICG (PDR-ICG%/min) and 15-minute retention rate after administration of ICG (ICG-R15%). This study was performed in 40 patients who underwent right hepatectomy. Results. The positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) was 0 cm H2O in the first (control) group (group K) and 10 mm Hg in the second study group (group P). ICG clearance test values before general anesthesia (T0), after induction of general anesthesia (T1), after transection (T2), 24 hours postoperative (T3), and 72 hours postoperative (T4) were recorded. Simultaneously, hemoglobin (Hgb), hematocrit (Hct), platelet count, plasma levels of prothrombin (PT), International Normalized Ratio (INR), total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, albumin, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase values were analyzed. In terms of the plasma disappearance rate and retention rate of ICG 15 minutes after administration, significant difference was not observed between groups. PT and INR values were different within comparisons groups (P < .05). There were significant differences in Hgb and Hct values compared with the baseline values (T0) within group (T1, T2, T3, T4) measurements and between group comparisons at T0 and T4 (P < .05). Systemic arterial pressure, mean arterial pressure, and central venous pressure were significantly different between the groups (P <.05). Conclusions. Given the small magnitude and limited clinical significance of these changes, we conclude that PEEP values between 0 and 10 cm H2O have no effect on global liver function and liver-related liabilities tests in patients undergoing elective liver donor surgery.Öğe Effects of Isoflurane and Propofol on Hepatic and Renal Functions and Coagulation Profile After Right Hepatectomy in Living Donors(Elsevier Science Inc, 2013) Ozgul, U.; Ucar, M.; Erdogan, M. A.; Aydogan, M. S.; Toprak, H. I.; Colak, C.; Durmus, M.We compared postoperative hepatic and renal functions and coagulation profiles in living donors undergoing right hepatectomy under isofiurane (n = 40) versus propofol (n = 40) anesthesia. After induction, anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane/air-O-2 (group I) or propofol/air-O-2 (group P) in addition to remifentanil and atracurium infusion in both groups. Aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), albumin, total bilirubin, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR), platelet count, and hemoglobin levels were measured in the preoperative period, after end of the operation, and on the first, third, fifth and seventh postoperative days (PODs). INR was significantly increased on POD 3 and aPTT on POD 5 in group I compared with group P (P < .05). Albumin level was significantly lower in Group I on POD 1 and 3 (P < .05). GFR was significantly lower on POD 1 in the group I compared with group P (P < .05). The postoperative coagulation, GFR, and albumin values were superior following administration of propofol than isoflurane in donors who underwent living hepatectomy; however, both approaches were clinically safe, with no significant clinical difference.Öğe Effects of Preoperative Iron Deficiency on Transfusion Requirements in Liver Transplantation Recipients: A Prospective Observational Study(Elsevier Science Inc, 2013) Aydogan, M. S.; Erdogan, M. A.; Yucel, A.; Konur, H.; Bentli, R.; Toprak, H. I.; Durmus, M.The aims of this study were to determine the frequency of preoperative iron deficiency in adult living donor liver transplantation patients and to investigate its relationship with the need for intraoperative transfusion. Between September 1, 2011, and June 1, 2012, 103 patients scheduled for liver transplantation were included in this prospective study. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to baseline iron status: an iron-deficient group and a non deficient (normal iron profile) group. Iron deficiency was assessed on the basis of several parameters, including transferrin saturation, levels of ferritin, soluble transferrin receptor, C-reactive protein, and peripheral blood smear. Preoperative iron deficiency was diagnosed in 62 patients. Preoperative iron deficiency was associated with low preoperative hemoglobin levels (P = .01) and a high rate of intraoperative transfusion (P < .0001). Preoperative iron deficiency is prognostic factor for predicting intraoperative transfusion requirements. These findings have important implications for transfusion practices for liver transplant recipients.Öğe Effects of Thoracic Epidural Anesthesia on Liver Blood Flow and Indocyanine Green Clearance Test in Living-Donor Liver Transplantation: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind Study(Elsevier Science Inc, 2015) Sayan, H.; Aydogan, M. S.; Bicakcioglu, M.; Toprak, H. I.; Isik, B.; Yilmaz, S.Background. Donors are volunteers without any health problems. Therefore, the anesthetic management of donor safety is an important issue. Our aim in this study was to compare thoracic epidural anesthesia and general anesthesia effects on liver blood flow by means of liver function tests and indocyanine green and compared with living-donor liver transplantation. Methods. Subjects were divided into 2 equal groups: the control group (group I) and the epidural block group (group II, closed envelope method). In group II patients, the epidural catheter was inserted at the T6-8 level. In all patients, anesthesia was standardized with the use of lidocaine, fentanyl, and thiopental. Indocyanine green clearance test values before general anesthesia (T0), after induction of general anesthesia (T1), after transection (T2), and at postoperative 24 and 72 hours were recorded. Simultaneously, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet count, prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, albumin, aspartate transaminase, and alanine transaminase values were analyzed. Results. Plasma disappearance rate (PDR) and retention at 15 minutes (R15) of indocyanine green were not statistically significant difference between groups (P > .05). Intragroup comparison of PDR and R15 values at times T1, T2, T3, and T4 showed that the values at T0 were statistically significant (P < .05). PT and INR values were significantly different for all times within each group (P < .05). It was concluded that the use of thoracic epidural anesthesia has no effect on global liver function and liver-related liability tests in patients undergoing elective liver donor surgery.Öğe Impact of 6% Starch 130/0.4 and 4% Gelatin Infusion on Kidney Function in Living-Donor Liver Transplantation(Elsevier Science Inc, 2015) Demir, A.; Aydinli, B.; Toprak, H. I.; Karadeniz, U.; Yilmaz, F. M.; Zungun, C.; Ucar, P.Background. Since the first liver transplantation, pretransplantation or post-transplantation renal problems are still among the main causes of mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of fluid replacement solutions used intraoperatively on renal functions in elective living-donor liver transplantation. Methods. After Ethics Committee approval, informed consents were obtained from patients. Patients with normal renal functions and scheduled for elective living-donor-liver transplantation were included in the study. Patients were randomly allocated to infusion with 6% hydroxyehylstarch 130/40 (HES group) and 4% Gelofusine (GEL group). Blood samples were obtained before the induction of anesthesia (baseline), at the end of the operation, and postoperative days 1 and 4. Different estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) formulas using creatinine (modification of renal disease, chronic kidney disease-epidemiology collaboration and Cockraud Gault) were used to calculate the eGFR. Results. Thirty-six patients were included in the study (GEL group = 18; HES group = 18). Patient characteristics, modified end stage liver disease-Child Pugh score, American Society of anaesthesiologist scores, and intraoperative data were similar between groups. Postoperative measurements showed that creatinine was significantly higher in the GEL group compared with the baseline, which was not the case for the HES group. Similarly, postoperative eGFR levels, as measured using MDRD and CKD-EPI, were found to be significantly lower in the GEL group. Postoperative urine albumin:creatinine ratios were significantly higher in the GEL group compared with baseline. Total crystalloid amount used, colloid, blood, fresh frozen plasma values, extubation, and intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stay were similar in both groups. Postreperfusion syndrome developed in 6 patients in each group. Conclusion. In conclusion, Gelofusine seem to cause more impairment in renal functions in elective living-donor liver transplantation.Öğe Living Donor Re-transplantation for Repeated Acute Liver Failure(Avicenna Organ Transplant Center, 2018) Ince, V.; Kayaalp, C.; Otan, E.; Ozdemir, F.; Dirican, A.; Toprak, H. I.; Aydin, C.Emergency liver transplantation (LT) for acute liver failure (ALF) is a life-saving treatment. Occurrence of this situation in the same patient twice is very rare. Herein, we describe a patient who underwent two emergency LTs for ALF, both from living donors. When she was 26 years old, she underwent a right lobe living donor LT (LDLT) from her sister for ALF due to use of herbal weight loss medications. The next 3 years were uneventful but another ALF developed during a terminal stage pregnancy (37th week). Despite medical treatment, her liver functions worsened, and the baby was delivered by caesarean section. The second time, her brother was the donor and she recovered after the emergency right lobe re-LDLT. Both patient and baby were well at the 2-month follow-up. As far as we know, there is no reported similar case, and we concluded that LDLT is a paramount treatment option for both primary and secondary ALFs.Öğe Sevoflurane alone and propofol with or without remifentanil for electroconvulsive therapy-a randomised, crossover study(Australian Soc Anaesthetists, 2013) Begec, Z.; Kayhan, G. Erdogan; Toprak, H. I.; Sahin, T.; Konur, H.; Colak, C.; Durmus, M.We compared the effectiveness of three anaesthetic regimens (propofol alone, propofol with remifentanil and sevoflurane alone), with respect to seizure duration and seizure quality in patients undergoing electroconvulsive therapy. Thirty-nine patients underwent a total of 234 electroconvulsive therapy treatments in this prospective, observer blinded, crossover study. Each patient received either propofol 1 mg/kg alone (Group P), propofol 0.5 mg/kg and remifentanil 1 mu g/kg (Group R), or sevoflurane alone 6% (Group S) for their initial electroconvulsive therapy session. The patients subsequently received an alternative regimen in their next session, such as from propofol 1 mg/kg alone to propofol 0.5 mg/kg and remifentanil 1 mu g/kg, from propofol 1 mg/kg alone to propofol 0.5 mg/kg and remifentanil 1 mu g/kg to sevoflurane alone 6%, or from sevoflurane alone 6% to a continuing alternation between drugs at each session, until their sixth session. Muscle paralysis was achieved with 1 mg/kg succinylcholine. Seizure duration, postictal suppression index, early and midictal amplitude were recorded. The mean motor and electroencephalogram seizure durations were significantly longer in Groups P and R compared to Group S (P <0.001). The postictal suppression index and early and midictal amplitude values were not significantly different among the groups. These findings indicate that the three anaesthetic regimens had similar effects on seizure quality parameters, although sevoflurane was associated with shorter seizure durations than propofol or propofol-remifentanil.
