A prospective observational study to evaluate the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients with preoperative carbohydrate loading

, ,

Background: Preoperative fasting has been a routine practice in many hospitals to prevent aspiration of gastric contents during surgery. However, recent evidence suggests that oral intake of clear liquids, including commercial carbohydrate preparations, up to two hours before surgery is safe and does not affect gastric content or acidity. These carbohydrate solutions have shorter gastric … Read more

Assessment of Bispectral Index Targeted Induction on Haemodynamic Responses to Laryngoscopy and Intubation during General Anaesthesia

, ,

Introduction:Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation (LETI) during general anesthesia can elicit significant haemodynamic responses, potentially posing risks to patients with cardiovascular or cerebrovascular conditions. Ensuring adequate depth of anesthesia during these procedures is crucial for maintaining haemodynamic stability. Additionally, commonly used induction agents like Propofol may cause haemodynamic instability. This study aims to assess the effect … Read more

Prediction of Spinal Hypotension in Cesarean Section: Correlation with Baseline Heart Rate and Postural Changes in Blood Pressure and Heart Rate

, ,

Introduction:Spinal hypotension is a common and concerning side effect of spinal anesthesia during cesarean sections, affecting both the mother and the fetus. Accurate prediction of spinal hypotension is crucial for proactive management and improved patient outcomes. The occurrence of hypotension is influenced by preoperative sympathetic tone, which, in turn, is dependent on baseline heart rate … Read more

Efficacy of Bisoprolol premedication in controlling bloodloss during functional endoscopic sinus surgery

, ,

BACKGROUNDFunctional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is well accepted as surgical  treatment of sinusitis and nasal polyps. The success of this procedure depends on the visual clarity of the highly vascular surgical field through the endoscope. Various drugs and anaesthetic techniques have been tried in an effort to provide the appropriate surgical conditions for FESS. The purpose … Read more

The effect of intravenous low dose magnesium sulphate on early postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

, ,

Background: The concept of preemptive analgesia was introduced by C. J. Woolf et al. Magnesium Sulphate, an antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and its associated channels causes modulation of acute pain reducing postsurgical pain intensity and dosage of analgesics. Our study was done to evaluate the postoperative analgesic efficacy of single low dose magnesium sulphate … Read more

A comparative study of two supraglottic airway devices the i-gel® and LMA supreme TM in reducing the incidence of post operative sore throat in patients undergoing day care surgeries under general anesthesia

, ,

Postoperative sore throat is a common complaint after general anaesthesia. Airway trauma caused by laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation are mainly responsible for this. Supraglottic airway devices offer an alternative to traditional tracheal intubation with potential benefit for ease of fit, less disturbance of the airway and less incidence of postoperative sore throat. The aim of … Read more

Comparison of safety and efficacy of Ramosetron and Ondansetron for post-operative nausea and vomiting in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

, ,

Introduction:Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common complication after anesthesia and surgery, leading to distress and potential complications. Ramosetron, a newer 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, has shown to have more potent and longer-lasting antiemetic effects compared to first-generation 5-HT3 receptor antagonists like ondansetron. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of ramosetron and ondansetron for … Read more
