Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyIntraoperative Blood Loss During Orthognathic Surgery: A Comparison of Remifentanil-Based Anesthesia With Sevoflurane or Isoflurane.
The aim of the present study was to compare the blood loss with remifentanil-based anesthesia with sevoflurane or isoflurane during orthognathic surgery. ⋯ In a comparison of intraoperative blood loss during remifentanil-based anesthesia with sevoflurane or isoflurane during orthognathic surgery, no difference was observed between the 2 groups.

The Epidemiology of Mandibular Fractures in the United States, Part 1: A Review of 13,142 Cases from the US National Trauma Data Bank.
To date, no studies have analyzed the national demographics of mandibular fractures in the United States. This report is part 1 of a 2-part series characterizing the modern demographics, epidemiology, and outcomes of mandibular fractures in the United States. The purpose of this study was to characterize mandibular fractures in relation to age, gender, mechanism of injury, and anatomic location of fracture. ⋯ This study sought to characterize the largest, modern, population-based sample of mandibular fractures in the United States. Overall, men had a 4-fold higher incidence, but this distribution varied by age. Similarly, mechanism of injury varied across gender and age range. A better understanding of the influence of age and gender on mechanism of injury and anatomic site is of great clinical importance in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of traumatic mandibular fractures.
