Hip Shoulder width Ratio (HSWR) is one of the factors which affects spread of spinal anaesthesia.85 ASA II participants with singleton term pregnancy undergoing elective caesarean section received 12mg hyperbaric bupivacaine intrathecally with 26G Quincke’s spinal needle in L3-4 intervertebral subarachnoid space via midline approach. Post spinal anaesthesia haemodynamic parameters were monitored every 5 minutes for the first 20 minutes and at the end of surgery. Sensory level was assessed by a pinprick test every 5 minutes till 20 minutes and post-surgery. Hypotension was defined as 20% fall from baseline systolic blood pressure at 15 minutes post spinal anaesthesia.We found significant positive correlation between high shoulder width ratio and highest sensory level achieved (p - 0.0005) using mutiple regression analysis and pearson's correlataion. With every unit increased in high shoulder width ratio spinal level significantly increased by 5 units. Hip shoulder width ration and age were significantly correlatwd with incidence of hypotension.Hip-shoulder Width Ratio has a positive effect on cephalad spread of spinal anaesthesia and thus incidence of hypotension. By knowing the Hip-shoulder Width Ratio, it can help anaesthesiologists to predict the spread of spinal anaesthesia and titrate the dose of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine.","PeriodicalId":13310,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia","volume":" 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140391674","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}

The aim of the present study was to report the factors influencing the decision-making for the choice of anesthetic technique in molar pregnancy patients who underwent suction curettage at Siriraj Hospital. The reported intraoperative and postoperative complications were also analyzed.A retrospective chart review was conducted among pregnant women diagnosed with molar pregnancy who had underwent suction curettage under anesthesia at Siriraj Hospital between January 2007 to September 2021. Overall, 244 patients were diagnosed with molar pregnancy, with 110 of these included for analysis in this study after consideration of the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Quantitative data of the included patients were analyzed by either unpaired t-test or Mann–Whitney U test, while qualitative data were analyzed by the chi-square test. Logistic regression was used to establish the factors influencing the decision-making for the anesthetic technique.General anesthesia was the most preferred anesthetic technique (77.4%) in the molar pregnancy patients who had underwent suction curettage, followed by regional anesthesia (11.3%) and intravenous sedation (11.3%). General anesthesia was likely to be used in patients with an enlarged uterine size ≥ 16 weeks with an adjusted odds ratio of 11.64 (95% CI 1.08–125.72, p < 0.05). Patients with a larger uterine size were associated with higher beta-hCG levels, resulting in more severe medical complications, such as hyperthyroidism and hyperemesis gravidarum (p < 0.05). Intraoperative complications, such as uterine atony (17.7%), massive hemorrhage (7.3%), and pulmonary edema (4.2%), were confined within patients receiving general anesthesia, but there was no statistical significance. None of the patients had anesthesia-related complications. The reported postoperative serious complications, such as pulmonary edema (4.2%), which required postoperative intubation and transferal to the intensive care unit, were all in the general anesthesia group. Patients with higher co-morbidities were advised by anesthesiologists to receive general anesthesia. However, an enlarged uterine size ≥ 16 weeks was the only factor that had an influence on the decisions of the anesthesiologists to provide general anesthesia.","PeriodicalId":13310,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia","volume":" 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140391574","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}

It consisted of 15 questions under four headings prepared and handed over personally to 100 anesthesiologists who attended the State-level Anesthesiology Continuing medical education (CMEs), conducted in two districts of the southernmost part of Tamil Nadu. All the questions had a minimum of three multiple-choice options. They were subdivided into four sections: a) Questions on Demographic profile, b) Questions on assessment of time spent with family members: travel time, c) Questions on the assessment of personal time spent: hobbies, recreational activities, exercise, and habits of addiction d) Questions to assess the work pressure.Seventy anaesthesiologists (70%) responded to the survey. The mean age of the participants was 39.5(12.2) years. Among them, 14.3% (10) had diabetes, and 11.4% (8) had hypertension young. 24.3% (17) had>12 duty hours.

But no study so far, has compared the effects of TCI-propofol based anaesthesia with that of sevoflurane based anaesthesia for induction and maintenance, on core and peripheral body temperature and the gradient of temperature between the agents. The studies conducted so far, has shown more fall in core and peripheral body temperature from their respective baseline values when propofol was used for induction of anaesthesia in comparison to the use of sevoflurane. A total of 60 adults were randomized into two groups of 30 each; Group 1 were induced with TCI- propofol at 8mcg/ml plasma concentration and maintaind with TCI-propofol at 2-3mcg/ml plasma concentration and 66% nitrous oxide and 33% oxygen gas mixture. Group 2 were induced with intravenous thiopentone at 3-5mg/kg body weight and maintained with 1-1.5MAC sevoflurane, 66% nitrous oxide and 33% oxygen gas mixture. Core body temperature was measured inserting the temperature probe into nasophraynx and peripheral temperature was measured with the temperature probe inserted onto thenar eminence of either hand. We observed that both anaesthetic agents have caused similar fall in core temperature. However, peripheral temperature fell more with sevoflurane compared to TCI-propofol. In parallel with these observations, the increase in temperature gradient was higher in magnitude for sevoflurane based anaesthesia. The core temperature was comparable between the groups from their respective baseline values. But, the fall in peripheral temperature was more in sevoflurane group, so was the temperature gradient. Thus, TCI-propofol when used in appropriate plasma concentration for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia causes less hypothermia in contrast to sevoflurane.","PeriodicalId":13310,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia","volume":" 65","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140391921","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}

The ERAS concept was introduced to target the factors delaying post-operative recovery such as organ dysfunction, surgical stress and to improve the surgical outcomes and length of stay at the hospital. The primary aim of this approach is to reduce the body’s response to surgical stress by implementing a multidisciplinary, multitude of interventions in a coordinated clinical pathway. It was first implemented for colorectal surgeries to improve the post-surgical recovery rates by decreasing the post-operative ileus and thereby reducing the cost and length of hospital stay. Since the successful introduction of the program, ERAS has been used in several other specialties such as breast, urological, gynaecological, and musculoskeletal procedures. Off-late ERAS has become important in orthopaedic surgeries, particularly elective hip and knee arthroplasties. A retrospective review audit was conducted at tertiary Orthopaedic NHS Hospital to determine the effectiveness of ERAS post-operative pain protocol in patients who had primary hip arthroplasty under general anaesthesia. The qualitative and quantitative data included the length of stay at the hospital and default rates in the ERAS pain protocol. The length of stay at the hospital in ERAS compliant group was a mean of 3.95 days and in ERAS default group was 4.7 days, showing an increase of 16% in the total duration. The IV PCA group had 4.6 days of the average length of stay.: ERAS pathway advocates for using opioid-sparing multimodal analgesia to control pain, peripheral nerve blocks (single-shot/continuous), and local infiltration /peri-articular injections have become a better alternative to opioids in controlling the immediate post-surgical pain effectively. There is clear evidence to suggest that these techniques can improve patient outcomes and decrease the duration of stay.","PeriodicalId":13310,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia","volume":" 26","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140391547","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}
