{"title":"Comparative study of hemodynamic changes using proseal laryngeal mask airway, intubating laryngeal mask airway or laryngoscopic endotracheal intubation under general anesthesia in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery","authors":"Anjum Saiyed, Abhishek Jain, I.

Stress response caused by laryngoscopic endotracheal intubation may be harmful for the coronary or cerebral circulation of high-risk patients. This study aimed to evaluate the hypothesis that placement of Proseal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA) and intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA) are associated with less cardiovascular response than the endotracheal intubation via conventional technique. Materials and Methods: In this hospital-based, randomized, interventional study, 105 patients of the American Society of Anesthesiologists Grade II and III undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery under general anesthesia were randomly allocated into three groups, that is, PLMA, ILMA, and ETT. Hemodynamic parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, cardiac output, cardiac index, systemic vascular resistance (SVR,) and SVR index baseline, during induction and after insertion of device were compared. Results: The study groups were comparable with respect to age, weight, height, gender, and baseline hemodynamic parameters. The heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and MAP were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in endotracheal group as compared to PLMA and ILMA groups for 15 min following intubation, that is, throughout the study period. However, there was no significant difference between PLMA and ILMA group (P > 0.05). SVR was significantly higher in endotracheal group as compared to PLMA and ILMA group throughout the study (P < 0.05). The cardiac index at all time was not significantly different among the three groups. Conclusion: PLMA and ILMA insertion is accompanied by minimal cardiovascular responses than those associated with direct laryngoscopic endotracheal intubation, so it can be used for patients in whom a marked pressor response would be deleterious.","PeriodicalId":17751,"journal":{"name":"Karnataka Anaesthesia Journal","volume":"17 2 1","pages":"69 - 75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84090640","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}

A 37-year-old man, a diagnosed case of HOCM, reported to us with complaints of angina and difficulty in breathing. His preoperative echocardiography revealed a predominant LVOT obstruction which caused a resting gradient of 50 mmHg. It was associated with the presence of systolic anterior motion (SAM) and posteriorly directed moderately severe regurgitation jet. Plication of anterior mitral leaflet (AML) was done through transaortic approach while performing septal myectomy. Plicating AML through transaorta was tailored under transesophageal echocardiographic guidance where the height of AML was reduced by 1 cm. As a result, postoperative SAM was significantly reduced. The approach of plicating AML through transaorta became technically simpler with the help of transesophageal echocardiography.","PeriodicalId":17751,"journal":{"name":"Karnataka Anaesthesia Journal","volume":"11 1","pages":"85 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87291903","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}

Rocuronium with rapid onset of action acts synergistically with other nondepolarizing agents. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to compare onset time, clinical duration, intubating conditions, and hemodynamic changes with rocuronium, vecuronium, and a combination of rocuronium and vecuronium. Methodology: This prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled comparative study included 150 American Society of Anesthesiologist Grade I or Grade II adult patients, scheduled for elective lower abdominal (gynecological and general surgical) and perineal surgery requiring general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. The tracheal intubation conditions were evaluated on the first attempt and scored on a scale described by Clarke and Mirakhur (excellent, good, poor, and inadequate). In addition to routine cardiovascular monitoring, hemodynamic parameters were specifically noted before the administration of the intubating dose of study drug and 1, 2, 5, 10, and 15 min thereafter. Results: In rocuronium group and rocuronium and vecuronium combination groups, excellent and good intubation conditions were achieved in 78% and 22% of cases as compared to 42% and 58% in vecuronium group, respectively. Conclusion: The drug combination can provide a clinically comparable condition for tracheal intubation with near similar hemodynamic parameters as compared with rocuronium alone. This further points out toward the fact that the combination of rocuronium with vecuronium can be economical alternative for rapid intubation in elective surgical cases.","PeriodicalId":17751,"journal":{"name":"Karnataka Anaesthesia Journal","volume":"639 1","pages":"45 - 51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74729531","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}
