Results A total remifentanil amount used in Group A was 66.51±47.87 mcg and 90.15±58.17 mcg in Group C (p=0.011); there was no difference in total amounts of ketamine and propofol given. There was a negative correlation between ANI and NRS scores of Group A patients at Minute 0 at the level of 0.402, which was significant statistically (p=0.003). Conclusion Opioid consumption was diminished when ANI monitoring was used, and thus the patient safety was improved. Further studies with longer procedure times and with a greater number of patients are required to demonstrate whether there is a difference in side effects and recovery times. © Copyright 2020 by Turkish Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Society.Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of extrathoracic jugulo-femoral venous shunt (JFVS) in avoiding the need for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during the bi-directional Glenn shunt (BDGS) procedure. Methods A total of 40 patients aged between 9 and 36 months were enrolled in the present study. The patients were classified into two groups, group A (n=20) in which the patients had no veno-venous shunt and group B (n=20) in which the patients had extrathoracic JFVS. Patients requiring CPB, arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and central venous pressure (CVP) were recorded during surgery. Postoperative time of intubation, intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital length of stays and neurological complications were also recorded. Results The number of patients who needed urgent CPB was greater in group A than in group B. Intraoperative MAP was significantly lower in group A than in group B 10 min after clamping of the superior vena cava (SVC) and 30 min after declamping of the SVC. The CVP was significantly lower
