Although different methods have been used to suppress the response, an ideal agent has yet to be discovered. This study compares and contrasts the effectiveness of intravenous dexmedetomidine and intravenous magnesium sulphate in reducing hemodynamic response during laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation.: This 18-month prospective, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled comparative research was conducted in the Department of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care, Bokaro General Hospital, Bokaro Steel City, Jharkhand. One hundred twenty consenting study participants were randomly divided into three groups of forty. Before induction, Group A received IV normal saline as a placebo. Group B received 1 mcg/kg IV dexmedetomidine before induction, while Group C received 30 mg/kg IV 50% magnesium sulphate before induction.: Gender distribution was consistent and equal among 120 patients. Gender, age, weight, ASA, and type of surgery did not differ significantly across groups. The three groups had no statistically significant difference in baseline hemodynamic parameters. When compared to the Control Group (A), there were statistically significant changes in hemodynamic parameters in the Dexmedetomidine (B) and Magnesium sulphate (C) groups. There was no hypotension, bradycardia, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, or arrhythmias.: Dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulphate efficiently reduced the hemodynamic stress response to laryngoscopy and intubation, although dexmedetomidine attenuated the sympathetic response more effectively.","PeriodicalId":13310,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia","volume":"43 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139272932","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}

Vigilant monitoring, early diagnosis and prompt treatment plays a vital role in the management and improving patient outcomes. This case illustrates a successful T4-T8 laminectomy and excision of extradural lesion in a patient with Thalassemia intermedia, pointing out the pathophysiologic considerations and discussing the means to reduce the perioperative risk. There have only been a few reports in the literature for the same and hence this article is intended to provide an overview of the anaesthetic management for a patient with thalassemia, focussing specifically on the blood conservation strategy for major spine surgeries.

Inadequate pain control can lead to a range of negative outcomes, including prolonged hospital stays, delayed recovery, increased healthcare costs, and decreased patient satisfaction. Therefore, effective management of postoperative pain is essential for improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare utilization. While progress has been made in improving postoperative pain management, there are still significant gaps in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying postoperative pain and the most effective interventions for its management. Further research is needed to optimize pain management strategies and reduce the burden of postoperative pain on patients and healthcare systems.Multimodal analgesia is an approach to pain management that uses a combination of medications and other interventions to effectively manage pain while minimizing side effects. The goal is to target pain at different points in the pain pathway, using different mechanisms of action, to achieve better pain control than could be achieved with a single medication alone. By using multiple medications that work through different mechanisms, a lower dose of each medication can be used, reducing the risk of side effects. The approach is often tailored to the individual patient, taking into account their medical history, the type of surgery or injury, and their level of pain. Overall, multimodal analgesia aims to improve pain control and patient outcomes while reducing the risk of adverse effects.","PeriodicalId":13310,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia","volume":"81 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74084118","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 incidence rate of PONV after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is 46-75% which is higher than that after other types of surgery. The present study was aimed to compare the effect of timing of dexamethasone and ondansetron alone when given 45 minutes before induction or given just before induction of anaesthesia for control of PONV in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. : Tocompare the effect of timing of dexamethasone and ondansetron each when given 45 minutes before induction or given just before induction for control of PONV in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.: After approval by the institutional ethics committee, this study was carried out on 200 patients of both sexes in the age group of 20-60 years. It was a randomized controlled trial. And after obtaining the consent, the patients were allocated in four groups randomly. Group A: 8 mg dexamethasone 45 minutes before induction, Group B: 4 mg ondansetron 45 minutes before induction, Group C: 8 mg dexamethasone just before induction and Group D:4 mg ondansetron just before induction. Patients were observed for 24 hours after surgery for any episode of nausea and vomiting for 24 hours. Patient satisfaction with the management of PONV symptoms using 10 points verbal rating scale was accessed (VRS, 0=not satisfied, 10 = fully satisfied).: Incidence of nausea and vomiting was significantly higher in group B was 68% and D 50% in comparison to group A 28%and C 36% (P=0.003). PONV score was highly significant when ondansetron was administered 45 minutes before induction as compare to dexamethasone when administered 45minutes before induction. The effect of ondansetron was also significant in PONV score of 24 hrs in comparison to dexamethasone.: The ondansetron appears to have a shorter duration of action in comparison to dexamethasone. Timing of administration of ondansetron is important in laparoscopic cholecystectomy before surgery as it has bearing on the incidence of vomiting and rescue antiemetic required. It was found that administration of ondansetron just before induction still delays the onset of PONV in comparison to when given 45 minutes before induction.","PeriodicalId":13310,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82025010","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}
