Previous studies showed poor compliance with using height to predict VT. Ulna length has been used successfully to predict protective low VT. Our study aims to evaluate the ability of ulna length measurement to predict accurate protective lung VT in Egyptian people in reference to their standing height. Methods This study included healthy adult volunteers aged greater than or equal to 18 years. The height of each patient was measured while standing upright against a wall. Then, the left ulna was measured with a measuring tape from the olecranon to the mid-point of the styloid process. From ulna length, height was estimated, and protective lung VT was calculated using predicted body weight (PBW). Results Total 102 participants were enrolled in this study. The agreement between the calculated VT from standing height and ulna length was analyzed with Bland Altman analysis and showed a bias of (-5.7) ml, and limits of agreements (±1.96 SD) −91 ml to 76 ml in females; when the calculated VT of ulna length was compared with predicted body weight from height, the predicted mean VT was 6.2 ml/kg (95% confidence interval CI 4.5-7.8 ml/kg). In males, using ulna length, the predicted mean VT was 6.1 ml/kg (95% CI 4.8-7.4 ml/kg). Conclusion Ulna length can be used to predict protective lung VT in Egyptian people compared with their standing height.","PeriodicalId":151256,"journal":{"name":"Research and Opinion in Anesthesia and Intensive Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139365009","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}

Aim To decrease the incidence of emergence agitation (EA) in pediatrics undergoing adenotonsillectomy under sevoflurane anesthesia, by using ketamine-dexmedetomidine (KD) or ketamine-propofol (KP). Patients and methods In this prospective randomised controlled clinical trial, 63 children were randomly assigned to one of three groups of similar size: group C (Control group) (n=21), who received a single intravenous bolus of 10 ml 0.9% normal saline; group KD (n=21), who received 0.15 mg/kg ketamine and 0.3 μg/kg dexmedetomidine; 10 min before the end of surgery, and group KP (n=21), who received 0.15 mg/kg ketamine and 0.5 mg/kg propofol, 10 min before the end of surgery.

However, it has multiple disadvantages like hypotension and headache. This prospective study was designed to compare the outcomes of sacrococcygeal local anesthesia technique versus spinal anesthesia for surgical treatment of patients with pilonidal disease. Patients and methods The included 220 patients diagnosed with the pilonidal disease were assigned into two groups according to the method of anesthesia, the spinal and local groups. The primary outcome was pain score, whereas other outcomes included duration of stay in the operative theater, recovery room, postoperative opioid consumption, time to first analgesic request, complications, and patient satisfaction. Results Age and sex distribution showed no significant difference between the two groups. Time spent inside the operative room and total hospital stay showed a significant decrease in the local group. Postoperative pain was statistically comparable between our groups, apart from the six-hour reading, which was higher in the local group. The spinal group showed superior analgesic outcomes regarding the first analgesic request and total opioid consumption. Likewise, patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the same group. Postoperative nausea was more encountered in the local group. Conclusion When compared with spinal anesthesia, sacrococcygeal local anesthesia seems to have a weaker analgesic profile manifested in increased opioid requirements and earlier rescue analgesia. However, it is associated with comparable pain scores, less operative time, and shorter hospitalization.","PeriodicalId":151256,"journal":{"name":"Research and Opinion in Anesthesia and Intensive Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139364773","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}

Throughout assessments, visual analog scale in the combination group was significantly lower than in the steroid group in third and sixth months. Regarding the dosage of anticonvulsant, in the first follow-up visit 1 week from intervention, the same preintervention dose of pregabalin was prescribed and then the dose was gradually decreased until the first month in both groups. In the steroid group, the dose was increased again after the first month, while in the combination group there was a gradual decease in the dose.

The role of autologous PRP in managing nonhealing pressure ulcers has been questioned as it enhances tissue healing by providing the necessary growth factors. Objectives Determining the relative efficacy of autologous PRP in treating grade III skin ulcers compared with standard care. Methods In this pilot randomized-controlled trial, 28 patients with grade III pressure ulcers in the critical care units of Alexandria Main University Hospital were enrolled and randomized into two groups. Patients of group A were subjected to PRP injections in the periphery of their pressure ulcers along with the standard care, while group B were subjected only to the standard care of pressure ulcers.

Many risk stratification scores have been developed to predict the clinical outcomes in patients with UGIB. The commonly used risk scores the Rockall scoring systems (PRS and FRS), Glasgow–Blatchford score (GBS) and AIMS65 score. Aim The aim of the present study was to assess and compare the ability of the wildly used risk scores the RS, GBS, and AIMS65 to predict the clinical outcomes in UGIB patients Patients and methods One hundred patients (age >18 years) with acute UGIB in the emergency department of Alexandria Main University Hospital were prospectively studied. All the study scores were calculated and compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) method to evaluate the performance of each score to predict the mortality, blood transfusion, endoscopic intervention, ICU admission, rebleeding, and length of hospital stay. Results Among the one hundred patients included in the study, 65% were males with a median of age 58 years. 56% had esophageal varices and 63% with liver disease. All the used scores were statistically significant in predicting all clinical outcomes. GBS had the best AUC among the AIMS65, PRS, and FRS scores in predicting mortality with (AUC= 0.80 vs. 0.76, 0.69), blood transfusion need with (AUC= 0.92 vs. 0.88, 0.87), ICU admission with (AUC= 0.86 vs. 0.83, 0.81), rebleeding with (AUC= 0.81 vs. 0.77, 0.69), and length of hospital stay with (AUC= 0.81 vs. 0.75. 0.79). Conclusion All the study scores (GBS, AIMS65, PRS, and FRS) were able to predict the clinical outcomes in the UGIB patients.
