    Evaluation of Family Satisfaction Level at Erciyes University Medical Faculty Intensive Care Units with a Validated Survey
    (Erciyes Univ Sch Medicine, 2020) Turhan, Zeynep Yuksel; Akin, Aynur Karayol; Onuk, Sevda; Gundogan, Kursat
    Objective: This study aims to investigate the validity and reliability of the FS-ICU 24 survey in the Turkish language, to evaluate the satisfaction of ICU patients' relatives, and to determine the factors affecting satisfaction. Materials and Methods: In this study, the Turkish version was prepared based on the FS-ICU 24 survey applied to the relatives of ICU patients (Anesthesiology, Internal Medicine, General Surgery and Neurosurgery) at the Erciyes University in the Faculty of Medicine between April 2015 and June 2015. The Turkish version was tested and proven to be reliable and valid. Relatives of patients that were hospitalized for at least 48 hours, who had visited the patient at least once, were included. In this study, 369 surveys were completed. Results: FS-ICU 24 survey was found reliable and valid in Turkish. Patients' relatives were unsatisfied with physical conditions, waiting room setting and frequency of communication with nurses the most. The relatives were highly satisfied with the skills and competency of ICU doctors/nurses, setting of the ICU, completeness of treatment provided. Among the intensive care unit departments, there were not any statistically significantly different satisfaction results (p>0.05). The satisfaction level was found to decrease with increasing education levels and increasing duration of hospitalization (p<0.05). The satisfaction in the group who knew the diagnosis was higher (p<0.05). Conclusion: Even though the general satisfaction level of the patients' relatives was high, satisfaction level can be increased by improving physical factors, such as the waiting room setting, and by training on the communication skills of all staff that have contact with the patients' relatives on communication skills.

    Spinal anesthesia versus combined sciatic nerve/lumbar plexus nerve block in elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty: a retrospective study
    (K Faisal Spec Hosp Res Centre, 2022) Kacmaz, Mustafa; Turhan, Zeynep Yuksel
    BACKGROUND: The most important cause of mortality due to long bone fractures in the elderly patients are femoral fractures that require total hip arthroplasty (THA). THA surgeries may cause severe postoperative pain, long hospital stays, a need for transfusion and mortality. OBJECTIVE: Compare outcomes of spinal anesthesia (SA) versus combined sciatic nerve/lumbar plexus block (CSLPB). DESIGN: Retrospective cohort trial. SETTING: University hospital in Turkey. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We selected patients from the electronic medical records by date of surgery (most recent first) and compared demographic and pre- and postoperative clinical characteristics including the amount of opioid use within the first 48 postoperative hours, 30-day mortality rates, length of hospital stay, intraoperative oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) values, duration of the surgery, and blood transfusion need. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Opioid use within the first 48 postoperative hours. SAMPLE SIZE: 204, 102 patients in each group with overall median (IQR) age of 82 (10.2) years. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of the amount of opioid use within the postoperative 48 hours, 30-day mortality rates, intensive care need, duration of the surgery, blood transfusion need, and length of hospital stay. While the intraoperative SpO(2) value was lower in the CSLPB group (P=.03), MAP values were lower in the SA group (P=.046). Preoperative American Society of Anesthesiology score (ASA) scores (P=.039) and the number of comorbidities were higher in the CSLPB group. CONCLUSION: We prefer CSLPB used with standardized sedation protocols for anesthesia in THA surgery in elderly patients. LIMITATIONS: Retrospective design and single-centered.

    The Effect of Femoral Nerve Block and Adductor Canal Block Methods on Patient Satisfaction in Unilateral Knee Arthroplasty: Randomized Non-Inferiority Trial
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2021) Kacmaz, Mustafa; Turhan, Zeynep Yuksel
    Introduction: Femoral Nerve Block (FNB) and Adductor Canal Block (ACB) methods, which are regional analgesic techniques, are successfully used in postoperative pain control after total knee arthroplasty. This study aimed to compare adductor canal block method that was preoperatively used and femoral nerve block method in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients who underwent spinal anesthesia in terms of factors effecting patient satisfaction and determine whether these methods were equally effective or not. Methods: A total of 80 patients between the ages of 60 and 75 who were in the American Society of Anesthesia (ASA) physical status of I-III were prospectively included in this randomized study. Patients (n = 40) who received FNB were called Group FNB and patients (n = 40) who received Adductor Canal Block were called Group ACB. Results: Although mean postoperative VAS values were lower in FNB group only in the first hour (p = 0.02) there was no significant difference between the groups in the third, fifth, seventh, ninth, 12th and 24th hours (p >= 0.05). Although Bromage scores were lower in FNB group in the first, second, third, fourth and fifth hours there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p >= 0.05). When mobilization time, patient satisfaction level, time of first analgesia, intraoperative sedation need, and recovery time of sensorial block were compared no statistically significant difference was found (p >= 0.05). Discussion: When ACB and FNB that are used for postoperative analgesia in patients who undergo total knee arthroplasty are compared in terms of factors affecting patient satisfaction it is observed that they result in the same level (non-inferiority) of patient satisfaction. Conclusion: We recommend the routine use of ACB method with FNB in total knee arthroplasty. More studies focusing especially on measuring patient satisfaction are needed.
