The modern era of neuromodulation began in the early 1960s, first with deep brain stimulation which was soon followed (in 1967) by spinal cord stimulation, both for otherwise intractable pain. Dry needling is one of the common intervention used for low back pain of different origine. Electric current can be used in addition to dry needling in treatment of neuropathic and nociceptive type of pain by using percutaneous needles. Sixty years old female patient came with complaint of severe low back pain since two years on and off, which become persistent since last 1 month with increased pain intensity. Pain was diffuse, aching, stabbing type with numerical rating scale (NRS) score of 8/10 and score on pain detect tool was 18. Low back pain used to aggravate on prolonged sitting, standing in one place, and repetitive lifting and bending activities. MRI lumber spine suggestive of L5-S1 disc prolapsed posterocentral non compressing nerve roots with normal lumber canal. Based on these findings our provisional diagnosis L5-S1 disc prolapsed posterocentral with myofascial trigger points over gluteal region. For that tablet baclofen and etodolac for 2 weeks was prescribed but there was no significant relief i.e. patient reported NRS score 7/10 on follow up after 2 weeks. Subsequently intervention was planned. Dry needling with electric stimulation done for 60 minutes on bilateral gluteal region. On follow up visit after onemonth patient reported excellent pain relief with NRS sore of 1/10. Patient had good pain relief by the followup of nine months. Dry needling with electric stimulation increases duration of pain relief and cause some neuromodulation effect in low back pain.","PeriodicalId":14146,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Anesthesiology","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135804632","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}

Preoperative assessments revealed difficulties in mask ventilation, intubation, and ventilation due to anatomical factors, such as a thyromental distance of less than 6 cm and a large retrosternal goiter causing compressive symptoms and wheezy breathing. A multidisciplinary team implemented a dual-plan approach utilizing a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) as the primary airway management strategy, with an endotracheal tube as the backup plan.

Now a number of supraglottic airway devices (SAD) have been introduced in the clinical practice offering a simple and effective alternative to the endotracheal intubation, avoiding the use of laryngoscope to put the ETT (endotracheal tube) which is associated with exaggerated hemodynamic response. Method: The present prospective comparative study was conducted in the Department of anaesthesiology and Intensive Care, Government Medical College, Jammu. After attaining approval of the Ethical committee of the Institute, present study included 90 patients of either gender ranging from 18 – 70 years, belonging to ASA grade I and II scheduled for elective surgery of less than 2 hours duration under general anaesthesia. Patients were randomly allocated into Group P (PLMA) &Group B (Baska mask) of 45patients in each group. Result: Mean oropharyngeal leak pressure for Group P and Group B was almost equal (30.1 ± 3.08 cm H 2 O vs 30.7 ± 2.59 cm H 2 O after 5 minutes and 30.4 ± 3.09 cm H 2 O vs 31.6 ± 2.55 cm H 2 O after 30 minutes of device placement respectively).
