Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation, commonly used procedures, can lead to undesirable outcomes due to vagal activation and sympathoadrenal reaction. This double-blind, randomized interventional study aimed to assess the impact of two different doses of dexmedetomidine on heart rate and blood pressure during laryngoscopy and intubation, which often induce tachycardia and hypertension, particularly risky for patients with hypertension, myocardial insufficiency, and cerebrovascular disease.\u0000 Methods: Seventy-six participants, aged 20-60 years and classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Grade I & II, were enrolled after Institutional Ethics Committee approval. Random allocation assigned them to two groups: Group A (0.5 µg/kg dexmedetomidine) and Group B (1.0 µg/kg dexmedetomidine) before anesthesia induction. Hemodynamic measurements were recorded at various time points: pre- and post-drug administration, before intubation, and at intervals thereafter.\u0000 Results: Both groups exhibited similar age, weight, and gender distribution. Group B consistently demonstrated lower hemodynamic variables compared to Group A after laryngoscopy and intubation. Additionally, Group B required a smaller induction dose of propofol than Group A. No significant adverse effects were reported in either group during the study.\u0000 Conclusion: The study suggests that intravenous administration of dexmedetomidine at a rate of 1 µg/kg is more effective than 0.5 µg/kg in attenuating the physiological response to laryngoscopy and intubation. Moreover, it reduces the required propofol dose for anesthesia induction. These findings highlight the potential benefits of higher dexmedetomidine doses in mitigating adverse physiological effects during airway management procedures","PeriodicalId":15232,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Research","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74055869","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}

If the volume of extradural hematoma is less than 30 ml volume, it may not require surgery based on neurological examination. Objectives: To study the various causes, factors influencing and outcome of conservatively management in Extra Dural Hematomas. Materials and Methods: A total of 23 Extra Dural Hematoma cases requiring conservative management were included in the study. All the patients were subjected to complete neurological examination including and various imaging techniques like CT brain and chest X-ray. The patients with volume<30ml, thickness<5 mm, midline shift<5 mm, GCS >8, were subjected to conservative management by admitting the patients in Intensive Care Units (ICU). Results: Among 23 EDH cases, 17 (74%) cases were males and 6(26%) cases were females. The mean age of patients was 26.7years. Road traffic accident was the common mode of injury in 47.8% (11 cases) of patients. Mean volume of hematoma was 20.5ml and GCS Score was mild to moderate group.The majority of the patients (34.7%) presented with frontal EDH. Among 23 cases, 91.3% of the patients were discharged with good recovery. Conclusion: Extra Dural Hematoma (EDH) with low volume can be considered for conservative therapy by close observation, yet a risk of sudden neurological deterioration. However, surgical evacuation is the definitive treatment of EDH but craniotomy can be avoided in many patients with keen observation and repeated neurological assessments.","PeriodicalId":15232,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Research","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72631266","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}

Using a computer-generated random number sequence, patients were divided into two groups of 30 each: Group A received 1.5 mg/kg of clonidine, whereas Group B received.2 mg/kg of nalbuphine in a 50 ml NS solution. Prior to administering the study drug, five minutes after premedication, hemodynamic parameters were recorded. Double-blind administration of the study medication occurred more than 10 minutes before anaesthesia onset. Hemodynamic parameters were recorded following the administration of the study medication, 1 and 5 minutes after intubation, prior to pneumoperitoneum, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, and 40 minutes after pneumoperitoneum, and finally following extubation. following 1 minute and 5 minutes after intubation (and following pneumoperitoneum at 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, and post extubation), it was discovered that there was a substantial difference in heart rate, SBP, DBP, and MAP between Group A and Group B. In our investigation, hemodynamics related to heart rate were improved with clonidine. Based on the results of our study and other earlier research conducted by different authors, we came to the conclusion that both clonidine and nalbuphine, when administered 5 minutes prior to intubation in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, attenuated the hemodynamic response to intubation and pneumoperitoneum during the surgery. The difference in heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and mean arterial pressure is much less with clonidine than with nalbuphine, which leads us to the conclusion that clonidine produced greater hemodynamic response than nalbuphine.","PeriodicalId":15232,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Research","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73263625","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}

During general anesthesia patients were intubated with cuffed endotracheal tubes to provide effective positive pressure ventilation as well to prevent risk of aspiration. The cuffs of endotracheal tubes were inflated with air. This air in these cuffed endotracheal tubes can cause significant laryngotracheal morbidity. So, we planned this study to find a better substitute other than air to prevent postoperative laryngotracheal morbidity. Material and methods: Total 56 cases were taken. In group A, the cuff of the endotracheal tube was filled with 2% lignocaine 2 ml (40 mg) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3 8.4%) 1 ml (total 3 ml volume). In Group B, the cuff of the endotracheal tube was filled with dexamethasone (8 mg) 2 ml with 1 ml NS (total 3 ml volume). Results: The incidence of sore throat and hoarseness was less in the alkalinized lignocaine group. (p value > 0.05). While the incidence of coughing was roughly similar in both groups and at different time intervals (P value >0.05).

An established method for delivering anaesthesia and analgesia during upper limb surgery is brachial plexus block. For peripheral nerve blocks, ropivacaine, a long-acting amide with a safe cardiac profile, is chosen. It has been proven that different adjuncts may be added to LA solutions to boost their effectiveness and longevity while lowering the overall dose of LA utilised and minimising any systemic side effects. Our goal was to assess the effectiveness of adjuvants such as dexmedetomidine and clonidine in comparison to 0.5% ropivacaine in an infraclavicular block for upper limb surgery under USG guidance. Method: Fifty adult patients planned for elective upperlimb surgery with an infraclavicular brachial plexus block under USG guidance were included. All research participants were split into two groups at random. In groups D and C, respectively, dexmedetomidine and clonidine were used as adjuvants with 0.5% ropivacaine. Our main goal was to compare the postoperative analgesic duration in both research groups, as well as the onset and duration of sensory and motor block. Patients were monitored for any complications connected to the medicine and procedure while hemodynamic indicators were also compared. Results: Group D's sensory and motor block action initiation time was substantially quicker than that of group C's (p 0.001).

For this, 60 ASA grade I and II patients undergoing planned general surgery were randomly assigned into two groups of 30 each, with Group KP (n=30) receiving injections of ketamine at 0.3 mg/kg and Group MP receiving injections of midozolam at 0.03 mg/kg and Propofol I.V. The main goal of the study was to find the best induction by analysing changes in hemodynamic indicators from baseline to various time points after induction. On the basis of the necessary induction dose and hemodynamic characteristics, the groups were contrasted. The strategy used was to present the categorical data as percentages and compare them between groups using the Chi square test. The mean and standard deviation of the quantitative data were displayed, and students' t-tests were used to compare them. According to the study described above, group MP saw a greater fluctuation in heart rate than did group KP, whose heart rate remained more constant during the anaesthetic time. Group MP's blood pressure dropped more quickly after induction compared to group KP. The ketamine group's blood pressure remained the most stable out of all the groups. Apnea, pain upon injection, and uncontrollable movements were absent in the KP group. Of all the groups, the ketamine-propofol group required the least induction dose. As a result, we came to the conclusion that pretreatment with ketamine at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg results in better hemodynamic stability and requires less propofol for induction than midazolam does.
