Example of a Research Article Abstract

Introduction: Post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a frequently occurring and serious post-surgical complication that may adversely affect quality of life and increase the burden of healthcare for patients. The aim of this study was to observe the incidence of POCD in patients undergoing elective surgery at GBPT RSU Dr. Soetomo and to analyze the associated risk factors.

Methods: The study consisted of 50 patients aged >40 years who underwent elective surgery lasting more than 2 hours. Several cognitive assessment tests were performed preoperatively and 7 days after surgery. Attention and memory were assessed. Possible risk factors for POCD included age, education, and duration of surgery.

Results: The study found impairment of attention, memory, and POCD 7 days after surgery in 30%, 36%, and 52% of patients, respectively. Cognitive tests with significant reductions in scores included the repetition test, immediate recall, and paired associate learning. Logistic regression analysis found that age (p = 0.798), education (p = 0.921), and surgery duration (p = 0.811) were not significantly correlated with the incidence of POCD. In subgroup analyses by age, a higher percentage of POCD occurred in patients aged 50 years, with 6 years of education, and with a surgery duration of 180 minutes.

Conclusion: The incidence of cognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing elective surgery at GBPT RSU Dr. Soetomo was relatively high. Age, education, and surgery duration may be associated with the incidence of POCD, although the associations were not statistically significant.

Keywords: general anesthesia, attention, post-operative cognition, memory

Abstract

Meningoencephaloceles are very rare congenital malformations worldwide, with a relatively high incidence reported in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. Children with anterior meningoencephaloceles should undergo surgical correction as early as possible because of facial dysmorphia, impairment of binocular vision, increasing size of the meningoencephalocele caused by progressive brain prolapse, and the risk of central nervous system infection. We present the case of a 9-month-old girl with a nasofrontal encephalocele and non-communicating hydrocephalus who underwent ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement and encephalocele excision. Because of the mass, nasofrontal or nasoethmoidal and occipital meningoencephaloceles present significant challenges to anesthesiologists from induction of anesthesia through the intraoperative and postoperative periods. Anesthetic challenges in the management of meningoencephalocele, particularly in pediatric patients, include securing the airway and performing intubation in the presence of a nasofrontal or nasoethmoidal mass, managing associated complications, accurately assessing blood loss, and preventing hypothermia.

Keywords: anesthesia, difficult ventilation, difficult intubation, nasofrontal, meningoencephalocele, pediatrics

Abstract

Hemorrhagic stroke is a devastating disease with a high mortality rate, with only approximately 30% of patients surviving six months after the stroke. The main etiologies of intracranial bleeding include subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) caused by aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and intracerebral hemorrhage. Intracerebral hemorrhage is frequently associated with hypertension, the use of anticoagulant drugs or other coagulopathies, drug and/or alcohol abuse, neoplasms, or amyloid angiopathy. The mortality rate within the first 30 days is approximately 50%. Hemorrhagic stroke is associated with worse outcomes compared with ischemic stroke, which has a mortality rate of approximately 10–30%. Hemorrhagic stroke may present with severe headache, projectile vomiting, seizures, and various focal neurological deficits. Hematoma may cause lethargy, stupor, and coma. Neurological deficits may occur from the onset of headache and progress to coma. Early management focuses on: (1) hemodynamic and cardiac management; (2) airway and ventilation; and (3) evaluation of neurological function and the need for intracranial pressure monitoring, ventricular drainage, or both.

Keywords: intracranial bleeding, hemorrhagic stroke

After the abstract, 3–5 keywords should be listed in alphabetical order.
