Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This retrospective study aims to compare the effects of low-flow and high-flow anesthesia techniques on intraoperative hemodynamics, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing tympanoplasty or myringoplasty. The data were collected from medical records of patients who underwent ear surgery between \[September 1, 2022\] and \[April 1, 2023\]. The study seeks to evaluate whether the choice of anesthetic flow rate has a significant impact on inflammatory response and recovery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study investigates the influence of anesthetic gas flow rates on systemic inflammation and hemodynamic stability in middle ear surgeries. While low-flow anesthesia is associated with reduced environmental exposure and cost-effectiveness, its impact on inflammatory markers and recovery outcomes remains less clearly defined. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is used as a readily available, cost-effective biomarker of systemic inflammation. This study retrospectively analyzes perioperative data from patients who underwent tympanoplasty or myringoplasty, comparing NLR levels, intraoperative vital signs, and postoperative recovery parameters between low-flow and high-flow anesthesia groups. The results may contribute to optimizing anesthetic strategies in otologic surgeries, with emphasis on inflammation modulation and patient safety.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Low-flow anesthesia group

Low-flow anesthesia group 0.75 L/min :

Patients who underwent tympanoplasty or myringoplasty under low-flow anesthesia technique. The anesthetic gas flow rate was maintained at low levels throughout the procedure to evaluate its effects on systemic inflammation and hemodynamics.

No interventions assigned to this group

High-flow anesthesia group

High-flow anesthesia group 3 L/min :

Patients who underwent tympanoplasty or myringoplasty under high-flow anesthesia technique. The anesthetic gas flow rate was maintained at high levels throughout the procedure to compare its impact on inflammatory response and postoperative outcomes.

No interventions assigned to this group
