Green Tea Intake: A Protective Factor Against Postsurgical Hypothyroidism and Hypoparathyroidism
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings provide the genetic evidence supporting that green tea intake was a protective factor against PHypoTP. Accordingly, we may suggest that patients after thyroidectomy to add green tea into their habitual diet during nursing education.PMID:38402475 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.12.016 (Source: Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing)

Green Tea Intake: A Protective Factor Against Postsurgical Hypothyroidism and Hypoparathyroidism
Tea and coffee are the most commonly consumed types of drinks, identified with multiple health benefits. However, the association between tea and coffee intake and postsurgical hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism (PHypoTP) is still unclear. Therefore, the objective of this study is to explore the effect of tea and coffee intake on the risk of PHypoTP. (Source: Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing)

Evaluation of Brachial Plexus Nerve Variations in Axilla by Ultrasonography
CONCLUSIONS: Since there are many anatomical variations, validation of nerves with a nerve stimulator as well as simultaneous visual application under ultrasound guidance will increase the success chance of axillary brachial plexus block and protect it from unwanted complications.PMID:38385931 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.11.002 (Source: Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing)

Evaluation of Brachial Plexus Nerve Variations in Axilla by Ultrasonography
The use of ultrasound in peripheral blocks has now become the gold standard. Ultrasound is a method that is easy to apply and most importantly does not carry any risk, and its only disadvantage is based on the skill and knowledge of the practitioner. Injury to vascular structures, which is the most common occurrence in peripheral block applications, has been significantly reduced by the use of ultrasound. The aim of this study is to determine the location of nerve branches and to determine the most common anthropometric parameters in the axillary fossa. (Source: Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing)

Perioperative Vision Loss Following Prone Spine Surgery: A Case-Control Study
CONCLUSIONS: Two surgical risk factors were determined to be statistically significant, including the need for perioperative blood transfusion and prolonged operative time. These findings support previous research on POVL which often identified blood loss and prolonged operative times as surgical risk factors. The narrow patient population used in this project may have limited the ability to perform a more robust study on POVL. Therefore, further research on POVL using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database is strongly encouraged.PMID:38363266 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.12.004 (Source: Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing)

Improving Postanesthesia Care Unit (PACU) Delays: A Quality Improvement Project

Correlation of Block Success with Perfusion Index Measurement in Cases of Pediatric Surgery Under Caudal Epidural Block Anesthesia
CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained from our study show that the increase in PI values is associated with caudal epidural block success. The PI value is more rapid, sensitive and objective than those produced by other parameters. Benefits include an earlier change in anesthesia management due to block failure and faster initiation to surgery, which reduces exposure to anesthetic chemicals.PMID:38363268 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.11.012 (Source: Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing)

Differential Utilization of Parental Presence and Premedication for Induction of Anesthesia in Pediatric Patients
CONCLUSIONS: This study supports previous work showing differential use of parental presence at induction based on race. Additionally, it also shows different treatment based on sex and public insurance status, a surrogate for socioeconomic status.PMID:38363269 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.11.013 (Source: Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing)
