Spinal anaesthesia is used a landmark – guided midline approach, in these absent, indistinct or distorted in the presence of obesity, previous spinal surgeries, deformities, or degenerative changes associated with ageing. In the present study evaluates the efficacy of real‑time ultrasound (RUS)‑guided paramedian approach, and pre‑procedure ultrasound (PUS) landmark‑guided paramedian approach in obese persons. Methods: This is a Prospective Randomized Double-Blind Study conducted in Akash Institute of Medical Sciences and Research centre. Total 50 subjects (Group A – 25, Group A – 25). All the subjects included after informed consent, Along with Chest X- ray and ECG-for patients over 40 years of age. The primary end point was to attain a successful lumbar puncture. Variables like the number of attempts, the number of passes, the time taken for identifying landmark(s), and time for a successful lumbar puncture(s) were secondary end points and were recorded in both the groups. Results: This study was evaluated In real‑time ultrasound (RUS)‑guided paramedian approach, and pre‑procedure ultrasound (PUS) landmark‑guided paramedian approach in obese patients. There is a statistically high significant difference in PUS group than RUS Group. A P value < 0.002 is the statistically in between 2 groups. Conclusion: the space identification and number of attempts, passes and time consuming in pre procedure ultrasound when compared to real time ultrasound. This study suggest real time ultrasound is good for identification of space.","PeriodicalId":18595,"journal":{"name":"MedPulse International Journal of Anesthesiology","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90442640","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}

Pregabaline and Gabapentin are GABA analogue used is used as pre-emptive analgesic. Its analgesic action is mediated through α2δ subunit of voltage gated calcium channels on dorsal horn neurons. Material and Method:96 patients satisfying selection criteria were enrolled for this study and divided in to three groups Group P, Group G and Group C each having 32 patients. All patients were explained about visual analogue score. Result: There is significant difference between three groups regarding time of first rescue analgesia and tramadol consumption. The mean time for rescue analgesia was longer in pregabaline group then gabapentin group (482.7±113.5 min vs 343.35±70.74 min). The mean amount of dose of tramadol requirement was also less in pregabaline and gabapentin group (164.32±39.41 vs178.32±48.21 vs 272.82±83.01) in comparison control. Conclusion: The VAS score was significantly higher in control then pregabaline and gabapentin group. Both pregabaline (group P) and gabapentin (group G) are comparable to each other regarding VAS score at different time interval in post operative period. Ramsay sedation score was significantly higher in pregabaline and gabapentin group up 4 hour post operatively but after that there was no significant difference between two groups. Both pregabaline (group P) and gabapentin (group G) are comparable to each other regarding Ramsay sedation score at different time interval in post operative period.","PeriodicalId":18595,"journal":{"name":"MedPulse International Journal of Anesthesiology","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87829550","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 disease is more common in young males and risk factors include both genetic and environmental. Anesthesia management for ankylosing spondylitis is a challenge due to management of difficult airway, respiratory and cardiovascular complications, as well as the medications for disease and pain control. Both airway management and neuraxial access may prove to be difficult. Awake fibreoptic intubation is the safest option (²) in these patients with a potentially difficult airway as it allows continuous neurological monitoring while achieving a difficult airway. Methods: This is a Prospective Randomized Double-Blind Study conducted in Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences; Total 70 Patients (Group A – 35, Group A – 35). All the subjects included after informed consent, blood samples and urine samples are collected from the all the subjects. Hb, RBCs, WBCs and Platelets was measured by laboratory standard methods. Along with Chest X- ray and ECG-for patients over 40 years of age. Results: This study was evaluated that in ankylosing spondylitis cases most of the physicians prefer to give general anaesthesia because to prevent trauma to the spinal cord but in these cases spine and surrounding tissues also it will involve at that time for maintain airway to the patient is challenge to the physicians by using fibreoptic intubation is good way to approach and maintain airway to the ankylosing patients. Conclusion: In this study suggest that in ankylosing spondylitis patients during surgery in place of tracheal intubation fibreoptic intubation is the best way to maintain airway to the patients and also we can prevent spinal cord damage.","PeriodicalId":18595,"journal":{"name":"MedPulse International Journal of Anesthesiology","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76026498","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}

Many local anesthetic drugs with varying concentrations and physical properties are used in spinal anesthesia to achieve early recovery, mobilization with minimal adverse effects. In the present study we are comparing the efficacy of Isobaric 0.5% Levobupivacaine with isobaric 1% 2-chlorprocaine in patients undergoing ambulatory surgeries under spinal anesthesia. Material and Methods: Sixty patients aged 18 to 60 years belonging to ASA physical status I-II, scheduled for various elective ambulatory surgeries under spinal anesthesia were randomized into two groups. Group A patients received 3ml of 0.5% Levobupivacaine and Group B received 4ml of 1% chlorprocaine. The time of onset, duration of sensory and motor block, hemodynamic changes and adverse effects were studied. Results: The time of onset of sensory block and motor block was significantly shorter (p<0.001) in Group B compared to Group A. Similarly, the duration of sensory and motor block in Group B was shorter (p<0.001). Intraoperative hemodynamic parameters including heart rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were comparable in both groups.
