The purpose of this work was to assess the postoperative analgesic efficiency of mixing local anesthetic with dexmedetomidine (DEX) in quadratus lumborum block (QLB) after a cesarean section (CS). Methods 50 patients who underwent a cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia with an average body mass index (BMI) ranging from 18.5 to 34.9 Kg/m2 participated in this double-blinded randomized-controlled study. Two equally sized groups of patients were formed: Group B got QLB with 20 ml of 0. 25% bupivacaine on both sides in addition to DEX 0.5 μg/kg, while group A received QLB with 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine in each side alone. Results The total amount of morphine used in the initial 24 hours after surgery and the number of patients who require morphine at 8, twelve, and 24 hours later were substantially decreased in group B than in group A. There was a significant decrease in time to first ambulation and in the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) after four hours postoperatively in group B than in group A. In group B, three individuals experienced bradycardia, and two patients experienced hypotension as DEX-related side effects. Conclusions The period of postoperative analgesia is prolonged, and the administration of opiates after surgery is decreased when DEX is added to local anesthetics in QLB.","PeriodicalId":11437,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Anaesthesia","volume":"48 1","pages":"929 - 935"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139211591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods Sixty-four female patients 18–60 years of age, ASA I or II were divided into two equal groups (32 patients each).

Adjuvants were used with ESP block to densify its postoperative analgesia. Magnesium sulfate was used for suppressing somatic, endocrine and autonomic reflexes induced by noxious stimuli during surgery. Dexamethasone is a highly potent glucocorticoid that has been used in different regional anesthesia to prolong the anesthetic effect of the local anesthesia by inducing local vasoconstriction. Methodology Sixty pediatric patients underwent inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia, and then they were assigned randomly into three groups that received ESP block either with local anesthetic alone or with magnesium sulfate or dexamethasone. Results Our study revealed no statistical significance among the three groups as regards demographic and vital data. Children’s Hospital Eastern Ontario Pain Scale score for postoperative assessment of magnesium sulfate and dexamethasone which were added to bupivacaine in ESP block had a better score than bupivacaine alone with high statistical significance. Also, magnesium sulfate and dexamethasone had a delayed first-dose postoperative rescue analgesia with significant statistical value (P value = 0.002) and total postoperative doses of postoperative rescue analgesia were lesser in magnesium sulfate and dexamethasone groups with marked statistical significance (P value < 0.001). As regards complications, there were minor ones in the form of mild bruising and mild pain at injection site with no statistical significance between the three groups (P value = 0.108). Conclusion In our study, magnesium sulfate and dexamethasone added to bupivacaine in ESP block prolonged the duration of postoperative pain control and decreased the consumption of postoperative analgesia than bupivacaine alone. No major complications were recorded in our study in the three groups which solidify the safety of the technique.","PeriodicalId":11437,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Anaesthesia","volume":"28 1","pages":"906 - 911"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139217146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients & Methods Rocuronium initiation and maintenance doses were 0.6 and 0.15 mg/Kg, respectively, and neostigmine or SGX was used as reverse agent for CNMB and DNMB, respectively. Abdominal insufflation was terminated at 15 and 8-mmHg, for CAIP and LAIP, respectively. The study outcome is the surgical feasibility under DNMB/LAIP, as judged by the frequency of shift-to-CAIP, surgical field visibility and operative time. Results The frequency of shift-to-CAIP was 2.9% due to surgeons’ inconvenience of LAIP. DNMB allowed significant control of intraoperative (IO) hemodynamic response to surgical manipulations. SGX allowed 3.2 times faster NMB-reversal with significantly higher percentages of patients returned to baseline physiologic statuses. The percentage of patients free of pain and nausea was significantly higher after DNMB/LAIP. At hospital discharge and day-7 PO, 86.6% and 98.5% of patients regained normalcy of their overall perspectives after DNMB/LAIP with a significant difference than after CNMB/CIAP. At 2-week PO, the frequency of shoulder-tip pain (STP) was significantly lower and surgeons’ satisfaction rate was significantly with DNMB/LAIP. Conclusion Laparoscopic cholecystectomy under DNMB/LAIP procedure is feasible and safe with lower incidence and severity of STP and high surgeons’ satisfaction. Sugammadex hastened the recovery of DNMB 3.2 times that of neostigmine-induced recovery of CNMB.

Infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is used for non invasive spinal cord oxygenation monitoring to estimate cord perfusion and detect early cord ischemic changes. Several pharmacological agents have been used to improve cord perfusion, the main action of these agents is to improve regional/systemic perfusion and decrease ICP. In the current study, we studied magnesium sulphate and levosimendan for their vasodilating effect that might improve spinal cord perfusion as part of spinal cord protection. Methods Forty two infants undergoing aortic coarctectomy under general anaesthesia were registered in double blinded randomized controlled study, three groups were included; group C received i.v. saline, group L received levosimendan in loading dose 6ug/kg i.v. for 15 minutes then maintenance dose 0.1 ug/kg/min till end of surgery and group M received levosimendan in loading dose 6 ug/kg i.v. for 15 minutes then maintenance dose 0.1 ug/kg/min in combination with magnesium sulphate in loading dose 25 mg/kg i.v. for 15 minutes then maintenance dose 10 mg/kg/hr till the end of surgery. The vital signs and NIRS values assessed before, during and after clamping of aorta. Results All baseline demographic data were comparable among all groups except for height (cm), which was significantly lower in Group L compared to Group C (p = 0.013). NIRS values were comparable among the three groups throughout experimental protocol except after cross clamp at 20 minutes, where Group M was significantly higher compared to group C (P = 0.007).Heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, total fluid intake, urine output, aortic cross clamp time and surgical time was comparable among all groups, were comparable among 3 studied groups. Conclusion Adding magnesium sulphate to levosimendan has showed improvement in spinal cord perfusion during cross clamping as monitored by NIRS when compared to use of levosimendan alone or placebo in coarctectomy operations without affecting hemodynamics.","PeriodicalId":11437,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Anaesthesia","volume":"34 4","pages":"876 - 882"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139269645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
