Abstract
Nasal polyps are associated with hyponasality. The effect of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) on voice quality has not been adequately investigated; therefore, this study developed objective and subjective measurements to compare nasal polyp patients pre- and postsurgery. An observational prospective study was conducted at Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen University, Thailand. Bilateral nasal polyposis patients who underwent FESS between August 1, 2015 and August 1, 2017, were recruited. All participants were assessed for nasal polyp grade, nasometry, acoustic parameters, acoustic perception, and patient satisfaction before surgery and at the 1-, 3- and 6-month follow-ups. Forty-six patients, 29 males and 17 females (mean age 48.2 years ± 16.2 years), were enrolled. Mean nasometry scores were significantly improved at 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery (p < 0.05), whereas the acoustic parameters were not significantly different after surgery (p > 0.05). Overall acoustic perception, assessed with a set of words and sentences, showed significant improvement in hyponasality voice after surgery (p < 0.05), whereas GIRBAS showed no significant change after surgery in each parameter of perception (p > 0.05). Patient satisfaction with voice changes after surgery was high, with significantly increased mean scores between the 1- and 6-month follow-ups (p < 0.05). The results showed that FESS for nasal polyposis patients improved voice quality and patients' voice satisfaction ratings. Trial registration: This trial was registered at the Thai Clinical Trial Registry (TCTR20210324004).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the effect of endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery on voice quality in patients with pituitary lesions. METHODS An observational study comparing voice quality before and after surgery was conducted between September 2015 and September 2017 at Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen University, Thailand. Pituitary tumor patients who underwent endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery were recruited. The nasal corridors were created with a type I (preserving both middle turbinates with a rescue flap) or type II (cutting one middle turbinate with a raised nasoseptal flap) for the binostril with four-hand technique. All patients were evaluated for nasal resonance, acoustic parameters, acoustic perception, and self-assessment of their satisfaction with postoperative voice changes with a visual analog scale (VAS). The patients were evaluated 1 day before surgery and at 1 and 3 months after surgery. RESULTS Forty-four patients, including 19 males and 25 females with a mean age of 50.0 ± 15.6 years, were enrolled. Mean scores for nasal resonance and all acoustic parameters were not significantly changed after surgery for either nasal corridor type (p > .05). Regarding acoustic perception, word and sentence and GIRBAS scores showed no significant difference before and after surgery (p > .09) in either type of nasal corridor. There was no incidence of hypernasality voice after surgery. Patients' self-satisfaction ratings (i.e., VAS) with voice quality were high and showed no significant change 1 and 3 months postsurgery (p > .05). CONCLUSIONS These endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approaches are minimally invasive skull base surgery techniques that have minimal effects on postsurgery voice quality. TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial was registered at ClinicalTrial.gov (NCT02828514). LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4.

Abstract
Introduction Preventing droplet dispersal is an important issue for decreasing the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) transmission rate; numerous personal protective equipment (PPE) devices have been recently developed for this. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of a novel PPE device to prevent droplet spread during nasal endoscopic and fiber optic laryngoscopic examination and postuse equipment cleaning technique. Methods The "endoscopy salon" was created with a hooded salon hair dryer, plastic sheath, and silicone nipple. Comparison fluorescence dye dispersal from simulating forceful coughing with and without using the "endoscopy salon" was conducted to assess the droplet spread control. The effects of heat produced in the "endoscopy salon" and disinfection cleaning were also evaluated. Results Fluorescent dye droplet spread from a mannequin's mouth without using the "endoscopy salon" to care providers' clothes and the floor surrounding mannequin, whereas no dye droplets spread out when using the "endoscopy salon". The maximal temperature observed in the hair dryer was 56.3°C. During the cleaning process, when a plastic bag was attached to the hair dryer's hood to create a closed system, the temperature increased to 79.8 ± 3.1 °C. These temperatures eliminated four test organism cultures during equipment disinfection. Conclusion This novel "endoscopy salon" device prevented respiratory droplet spread and eliminated infectious organisms during postuse equipment cleaning.

Abstract
Introduction
The endoscopic access to lesions in the anterolateral wall of the maxillary sinus is a challenging issue; therefore, the evaluation of access should be performed.
Objective
To assess the accessibility of three endoscopic ipsilateral endonasal corridors.
Methods
Three corridors were created in each of the 30 maxillary sinuses from 19 head cadavers. Accessing the anterolateral wall of the maxillary sinus was documented with a straight stereotactic navigator probe at the level of the nasal floor and of the axilla of the inferior turbinate.
Results
At level of the nasal floor, the prelacrimal approach, the modified endoscopic Denker approach, and the endoscopic Denker approach allowed mean radial access to the anterolateral maxillary sinus wall of 42.6 ± 7.3 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 39.9–45.3), 56.0 ± 6.1 (95%CI: 53.7–58.3), and 60.1 ± 6.2 (95%CI: 57.8–62.4), respectively. Furthermore, these approaches provided more lateral access to the maxillary sinus at the level of the axilla of the inferior turbinate, with mean radial access of 45.8 ± 6.9 (95%CI: 43.3–48.4) for the prelacrimal approach, 59.8 ± 4.7 (95% CI:58.1–61.6) for the modified endoscopic Denker approach, and 63.6 ± 5.5 (95%CI: 61.6–65.7) for the endoscopic Denker approach. The mean radial access in each corridor, either at the level of the nasal floor or the axilla of the inferior turbinate, showed a statistically significant difference in all comparison approaches (
p
< 0.05).
Conclusions
The prelacrimal approach provided a narrow radial access, which allows access to anteromedial lesions of the maxillary sinus, whereas the modified endoscopic Denker and the endoscopic Denker approaches provided more lateral radial access and improved operational feasibility on far anterolateral maxillary sinus lesions.

Abstract
Objectives: The objectives of the study were to investigate the improvement in operation time for thyroid surgery gained using a modified endobag and suture and to accelerate the learning process for novice endoscopic surgeons. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted between 2 June 2015 and 1 November 2018. Medical records of patients who underwent transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) were retrieved and analysed. Comparisons of operative time with or without the use of modified equipment were calculated by the unequal variance t-test in lobectomy and isthmectomy groups. Results: Medical records of 102 patients (mean age: 39.1 years) were analysed. The size of thyroid nodule averaged 4.0 cm (range: 1.0–13.0 cm). TOETVA was applied for right lobectomy (57.8%), left lobectomy (34.3%), isthmectomy (3.9%) and total thyroidectomy (3.9%). Early in our experience, TOETVA required 168 min, whereas following the introduction of the modified endobag and extracorporeal suture, operative time was reduced to 30 min (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The use of modified equipment permitted shorter operation times. The time difference was not statistically significant but does represent a significant time-saving. The use of the modified equipment will simplify and speed up the learning process for novice endoscopic surgeons.

Abstract
Rhinofacial entomophthoromycosis is an uncommon chronic fungal infection of the head and neck. The diagnosis is usually based on clinical manifestations; however, diagnosis of this infection based on early manifestations is difficult and occasionally rhinofacial entomophthoromycosis is mistaken for other diseases. Therefore, computed tomography is introduced to support the diagnosis. Radiologic findings were nonspecific with swelling of the sinonasal mucosa and perinasal region. However, subcutaneous calcification, that was observed in all our cases, may be a supportive radiologic evidence for diagnosis. The diagnosis should be confirmed definitively using histopathology or fungal culture. Early diagnosis allows prompt and appropriate treatment that will achieve excellent outcomes. We suggest that subcutaneous calcification radiologic finding may guide the aware physician to an early diagnosis of rhinofacial entomophthoromycosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skull pin application during craniotomy is a highly noxious stimulus. Therefore, the attenuated effect between dexmedetomidine and fentanyl was investigated. METHOD A randomized, double-blind controlled trial included sixty patients, randomly allocated into groups A and B. After patients entered the operative room, blood pressure and heart rate were measured (T1). At 5 minutes after propofol induction (T2), group A received dexmedetomidine 1 µg kg⁻¹ whereas group B received normal saline. At 3 minutes before skull pin insertion (T3), group B received a single bolus of fentanyl 1 µg kg⁻¹ whereas group A received normal saline. The hemodynamic responses were recorded at 1 minute before skull pin insertion (T4), during skull pin insertion (T5), then repeated every minute for 5 minutes (T6-T10). RESULTS Controlling blood pressure in the dexmedetomidine group (Group A) was better than in the fentanyl group (Group B) at T4 and T10 (P < 0.05) and T5-T8 (P < 0.01) for systolic blood pressure whereas diastolic blood pressure was significantly different at T4 and T8 (P < 0.05) and T5-T7 (P < 0.01). Mean arterial pressure, also was better controlled in group A at T4 and T10 (P < 0.05) and T5-T8 (P < 0.01). The heart rate in group A was lower than group B at T9 (P < 0.05) and T3-T6 (P < 0.01). Regarding adverse events, 11 hypertensive and 2 hypotensive responses occurred in group B whereas group A just only had 7 incidences of hypotension. CONCLUSION The attenuated effect of dexmedetomidine infusion is significantly greater than fentanyl infusion.

Abstract
Introduction: Enteral nutrition (EN) is very important to optimizing outcomes in critical illness. Debate exists regarding the best strategy for enteral tube feeding (TF), with concerns that bolus TF (BTF) may increase glycemic variability (GV) but result in fewer nutritional interruptions than continuous TF (CTF). This study examines if there is a difference in GV, insulin usage, TF volume, and caloric delivery among intensive care patients receiving BTF versus CTF. We hypothesize that there are no significant differences between CTF and BTF when comparing the above parameters. Materials and Methods: Prospective, randomized pilot study of critically ill adult patients undergoing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement for EN was performed between March 1, 2012 and May 15, 2014. Patients were randomized to BTF or CTF. Glucose values, insulin use, TF volume, and calories administered were recorded. Data were organized into 12-h epochs for statistical analyses and GV determination. In addition, time to ≥80% nutritional delivery goal, demographics, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II scores, and TF interruptions were examined. When performing BTF versus CTF assessments, continuous parameters were compared using Mann–Whitney U-test or repeated measures t-test, as appropriate. Categorical data were analyzed using Fisher's exact test. Results: No significant demographic or physiologic differences between the CTF (n = 24) and BTF (n = 26) groups were seen. The immediate post-PEG 12-h epoch showed significantly lower GV and median TF volume for patients in the CTF group. All subsequent epochs (up to 18 days post-PEG) showed no differences in GV, insulin use, TF volume, or caloric intake. Insulin use for both groups increased when comparing the first 24 h post-PEG values to measurements from day 8. There were no differences in TF interruptions, time to ≥80% nutritional delivery goal, or hypoglycemic episodes. Conclusions: This study demonstrated no clinically relevant differences in GV, insulin use, TF volume or caloric intake between BTF and CTF groups. Despite some shortcomings, our data suggest that providers should not feel limited to BTF or CTF because of concerns for GV, time to goal nutrition, insulin use, or caloric intake, and should consider other factors such as resource utilization, ease of administration, and/or institutional/patient characteristics.

AIMS We compared the effect of desflurane and sevoflurane on anesthesia recovery time in patients undergoing urological cystoscopic surgery. The Short Orientation-Memory-Concentration Test (SOMCT) measured and compared cognitive impairment between groups and coughing was assessed throughout the anesthetic. METHODS AND MATERIALS This investigation included 75 ambulatory patients. Patients were randomized to receive either desflurane or sevoflurane. Inhalational anesthetics were discontinued after removal of the cystoscope and once repositioning of the patient was final. Coughing assessment and awakening time from anesthesia were assessed by a blinded observer. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED Statistical analysis was performed by using t-test for parametric variables and Mann-Whitney U test for non-parametric variables. RESULTS The primary endpoint, mean time to eye-opening, was 5.0 ± 2.5 min for desflurane and 7.9 ± 4.1 min for sevoflurane (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in time to SOMCT recovery (p = 0.109), overall time spent in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) (p = 0.924) or time to discharge (p = 0.363). Median time until readiness for discharge was 9 min in the desflurane group, while the sevoflurane group had a median time of 20 min (p = 0.020). The overall incidence of coughing during the perioperative period was significantly higher in the desflurane (p = 0.030). CONCLUSION We re-confirmed that patients receiving desflurane had a faster emergence and met the criteria to be discharged from the PACU earlier. No difference was found in time to return to baseline cognition between desflurane and sevoflurane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cleft lip (CL) and cleft palate (CP) are common craniofacial abnormalities with an incidence of around 1:800. Surgical are corrections often performed during the first year of life. These patients have risks for difficult intubation and various perioperative complications due to their young age and craniofacial abnormalities. OBJECTIVE The purpose of the retrospective descriptive study is to report the data of anesthetic techniques and complications of repairing CLCP in Srinagarind Hospital. These results could improve the caring and services for these groups of patients. MATERIAL AND METHOD Data was retrieved from anesthetic records of patients undergoing correction of CLCP from the period January 2005 to January 2009. Demographic data, clinical diagnosis, type operation, anesthetic technique, total opiod were analyzed using direct laryngoscopic view, grading intubation, method of intubation, and as well perioperative complications were also analyzed. RESULTS A total of 469 anesthetic records were obtained. The most common type of CLCP was unilateral side (45.48%). The highest incidence of difficult intubation was found in the CP and unilateral CLCP subgroup (4.48% and 4.48%, respectively). All patients were successfully intubated with a stylet except one patient, in whom retrograde intubation was used. Perioperative complications included desaturation, reintubation, postoperative bleeding, and post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV). And the highest incidence of PONV was found in the CP (8.95%). Correlation between fentanyl using and postoperative desaturation was statistically significant when multivariate analysis was used (OR = 1.2; p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Patients with unilateral CLCP or CP had a higher risk for difficult intubation. Fortunately, all of the patients were successfully intubated with advanced anesthetists' skill. Long operative periods and a large dose of opioid could contribute to the postoperative desaturation and PONV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The increasing number of pediatric patients with cleft lip-palate and craniofacial anomalies is a nuisance problem in the Northeast of Thailand. These patients have complicated problems including physical health, psychosocial, and poor quality of life; therefore, a multidisciplinary care team was established, named Tawanchai center. This study encouraged the improvement of the quality of holistic healthcare service system to improve the quality of life the patients and their families. Anesthesiologists are important personnel in the facilitation of the surgical team, and to help improve other activities including academic, service and research. OBJECTIVE To relate the perspective of anesthesiologist according to the role they play in the multidisciplinary team. MATERIAL AND METHOD The database of Anesthesiology department and annual report from the period between June 2005 to July 2015 were collected and reviewed. CONCLUSION Highly-skilled and experienced anesthesiologist in the multidisciplinary patient care team play a vital role through the provision of advanced and specific knowledge to anesthesia management. The role of anesthesiologists should be researched to enhance the quality of anesthesia management, thereby contributing to national and international patient care team development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The authors compared the baby enclosed afferent reservoir (Baby EAR) with the Jackson-Rees (JR) anesthesia circuit for the minimal fresh gas flow (FGF) requirement with no and clinically acceptable rebreathing in spontaneous breathing anesthesia among pediatric patients. MATERIAL AND METHOD The present study was a randomized crossover study. Twenty patients, weighing 5 to 20 kg with ASA physical status I-II were enrolled. They were allocated to group 1 (EAR-JR) starting with Baby EAR then switching to JR or group 2 (JR-EAR), reversedpattern. After induction and intubation, anesthesia was maintainedwith a N2O/O2 combination with sevoflurane 1 to 3% and fentanyl. Starting with the first circuit, all patients were spontaneously ventilated with FGF 500 mL/kg/min for 10 minutes, and then gradually decreased by 50 mL/kg/min every five minutes. End-tidal CO2 (ETCO) and inspired minimum CO2 (imCO) were recorded until rebreathing (imCO2 >2 mmHg) occurred and continued until rebreathing was not clinically acceptable (imCO2 >6 mmHg). The anesthesia breathing circuit was switched and the procedure repeated. RESULTS The minimal FGF at no rebreathing of Baby EAR and JR were 192.5±76.6 and 347.5±108.2 mL/kg/min; p<0.001. At acceptable rebreathing, the values were 117.5±46.7 and 227.6±90.6 mL/kg/min; p< 0. 001. CONCLUSION Baby EAR can be used safely, effectively, and requires less FGF than JR in pediatric anesthesia in patients weighing 5 to 20 kg.

Abstract
Although chronic hypertension is associated with long-term complications, few studies directly examine the effects of in-hospital acute hypertensive episodes in trauma patients. The aim was to determine whether there is an association between in-hospital acute hypertension and morbidity. We included trauma patients between 45 and 89 years who presented to a level I trauma center between January and September 2008. Patients were classified as either experiencing or not experiencing acute hypertensive episode(s) as defined by systolic blood pressure ≥180, or diastolic blood pressure ≥110 mmHg, or at least two readings of systolic blood pressure ≥160 or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg. The primary outcome was a composite endpoint of myocardial infarction, stroke, venous thromboembolism, new-onset atrial fibrillation, or acute kidney injury. At least one acute hypertensive episode occurred in 42.6% (69/162) of patients. A total of 10.5% patients developed the composite endpoint, 17.4% in the acute hypertensive episode group compared to 5.4% in the non-hypertensive group, p = 0.012. Patients in the acute hypertensive group were more likely to require an intensive care unit admission compared to the non-hypertensive group (33.3 versus 14.0%, p = 0.004). Of the 17 patients who developed an acute hypertensive episode and met the primary endpoint, 10 were on home antihypertensive medications. Of those, four were restarted on all medications initially, three on some, two were started on new medications, and one was not resumed on home medications. Development of acute hypertensive episode(s) in older trauma patients was associated with an increase in the composite endpoint. Prospective studies are needed.

Abstract
Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is an unpredictable and as-of-yet unpreventable complication of maternity. With its low incidence it is unlikely that any given practitioner will be confronted with a case of AFE. However, this rare occurrence carries a high probability of serious sequelae including cardiac arrest, ARDS, coagulopathy with massive hemorrhage, encephalopathy, seizures, and both maternal and infant mortality. In this review the current state of medical knowledge about AFE is outlined including its incidence, risk factors, diagnosis, pathophysiology, and clinical manifestations. Special attention is paid to the modern aggressive supportive care that resulted in an overall reduction in the still alarmingly high mortality rate of this devastating entity. The key factors for successful management and resolution of this disease process continue to be sharp vigilance, a high level of clinical suspicion, and rapid all-out resuscitative efforts on the part of all clinicians involved in the medical care of the parturient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Levobupivacaine is a new long-acting local anesthetic, which is the isolated S-enantiomer of racemic bupivacaine with less cardiovascular and central nervous system toxicity than bupivacaine. Reports using levobupivacaine for epidural or brachial plexus anesthesia suggested equivalent clinical efficacy to bupivacaine. However, inadequate information for spinal anesthesia was found OBJECTIVE To study the onset of motor block and other anesthetic efficacy of intrathecally administered racemic bupivacaine compared with levobupivacaine. MATERIAL AND METHOD A prospective randomized double blind study at Srinagarind Hospital included seventy patients aged 18-65 years, ASA I-II, scheduled for elective lower abdominal and lower extremity surgery under spinal anesthesia was done. Exclusion criteria were known hypersensitivity to amide local anesthetics, contraindication against spinal anesthesia, morbid obesity, or patient unable to understand the study protocol. The patients were divided into two groups. They received either 0.5% isobaric racemic bupivacaine 3 mL or 0.5% isobaric levobupivacaine 3 mL for spinal anesthesia. The measurement included vital signs, peak block height, motor and sensory blockade and side effects. RESULTS There was no significant difference between the two groups in the quality of motor and sensory block (p-value > 0.05). The median of peak block height of racemic bupivacaine and levobupivacaine group was T9 (T6-T12) and T9 (T4-T12) respectively Afew adverse events were detected and treated carefully with no clinically significant difference between groups. CONCLUSION The present study indicated that 15 mg of isobaric racemic bupivacaine and levobupivacaine for spinal anesthesia had equivalent peak block height and showed equally effective efficacy regarding to both the onset time and duration of motor and sensory blockade.
