It is an iatrogenic cause,results after either intentional or accidental dural puncture.It begins typically within 2 days but regresses spontaneously in a few days. Present comparative study was conducted in patients who underwent elective lower abdominal surgery under spinal anaesthesia by midline or paramedian approach to evaluate incidence of postdural puncture headache at our tertiary hospital. Material and Methods: This prospective and comparative study was conducted 120 patients undergoing elective lower abdominal surgery under spinal anaesthesia were considered for present study. Patients were randomly divided in double‑blind fashion (patient and observer were blind to procedure) into two groups of 60 each. Numeric visual analog pain score was used to assess the postdural puncture headache in both the groups. Any case of persistent postdural puncture backache after discharge was followed up to 7 days through telephonic communication with the patient. The data collected was analysed statistically. Quantitative variables were expressed as Mean ± SD (standard deviation) while qualitative variables were expressed as relative frequency and percentage. The PDPH was analysed using Chi square test. P-value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results:120 patients undergoing elective lower abdominal surgery under spinal anaesthesia were randomly divided in double‑blind fashion (patient and observer were blind to procedure) into two groups as Group M (median approach) and Group P (paramedian approach) of 60 patients each. General characteristics such as age, weight, gender and ASA status were comparable in both groups. Intra-operative hypotension was noted in 10% patients of group M and 8% patients of group P, difference was not statistically significant. 3 % patients of group M and group P required medications (tramadol / paracetamol) to treat PDPH.In present study postdural puncture headache was mild in 8 % and moderate in 3% patients in group M. While 7% patients had mild and 3% patients had moderate postdural puncture headache in group P. Incidence of postdural puncture headache was 10% in group M and 8% in group P, difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: There was no difference regarding the incidence of PDPH in median and paramedian approach for spinal anaesthesia.","PeriodicalId":18595,"journal":{"name":"MedPulse International Journal of Anesthesiology","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77174412","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}

M","doi":"10.26611/10151938","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26611/10151938","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Spinal anesthesia is the most common method of the regional block in cesarean section, because it is easy to perform, economical produces rapid onset of anesthesia, and good muscle relaxation, and most importantly, it gives immense pleasure to the conscious mother. To improve the quality of subarachnoid block, intrathecal opioids are used as adjuvants to Bupivacaine. Fentanyl has a rapid onset of action as a lipophilic opioid following intrathecal administration. Because of high lipid solubility, it undergoes rapid uptake by the spinal cord, and hence the chances of delayed respiratory depression are less. Methods: We randomly selected 60 patients belonging to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class I and II, who are scheduled for elective LSCS. These patients were divided randomly into two groups of 30 each. Group B received 10mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (2ml). Group BF received 7.5mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (1.5ml) with 25mcg of Fentanyl (0.5ml). Lumbar puncture was performed at the level of L3-L4 with 23 Guage Quincke Babcock's needle with the patient in the right lateral position. The sensory block was assessed with the loss of pin prick sensation, and the motor block was set using the Bromage scale technique. We also recorded the hemodynamic parameters like pulse rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation. Results: No significant statistical difference was found in demographic data between the two groups. Group BF showed early onset of the sensory block with a P value of 0.001. Time taken to attain peak sensory level was early in the BF group with a P value of 0.001. The total duration of sensory block and duration of effective analgesia was longer in the BF group with a P value of 0.001. The onset of motor blockade was early in the bupivacaine only group with a P value of 0.02. Conclusion: The intrathecal fentanyl 25mcg reduces the dose of 7.5 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric Bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia in cesarean section, thus reducing the incidence of side effects associated with it. By its synergistic effect with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine, it provides better excellent sensory blockade and postoperative analgesia, good hemodynamic stability, less incidence of complications like Nausea, vomiting, and shivering without compromising the safety of mother and fetus in comparison to intrathecal 10mg of 0.5% hyperbaric Bupivacaine alone.","PeriodicalId":18595,"journal":{"name":"MedPulse International Journal of Anesthesiology","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78295349","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}

Prediction of hypotension before the procedure can reduce complications. The study aimed to evaluate the role of pulse plethysmograph in the prediction of hypotension in caesarean section patients under spinal anesthesia. Methods: The observational study was conducted on 50 patients who were undergoing emergency or elective caesarean section. Spinal anesthesia was performed by anaesthesiologist using a 25 or 26-gauge spinal needle with bupivacaine at L3-4 interspinous space. Pre and post-anesthesia observations such as the width of pulse plethysmograph, non-invasive blood pressure in another arm, and heart rate were recorded. Paired T-test, Wilcoxon sign rank test, and chi-square test was used to analyse data using R Studio V 1.2.5001 software. Results: Post spinal anesthesia minor fall in systolic blood pressure (SBP) was observed in 11 patients, moderate fall in 21 patients, severe fall in 8 patients and a massive fall in 10 patients. A significant difference was observed between mean pre- and post-spinal anesthesia SBP (P<0.001). Width of pulse plethysmograph (PPG) was maintained in 14 patients whereas, narrowed and significantly narrowed PPGs were observed in 29 and 7 patients, respectively. Significant association was observed between grades of SBP and width of PPG (P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve showed the width of PGG was good for prediction of hypotension in patient (AUC=0.828). Conclusion: Width of PPG can be used to predict SA induced maternal hypotension.","PeriodicalId":18595,"journal":{"name":"MedPulse International Journal of Anesthesiology","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89580149","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}

Ultrasound guided rectus sheath catheter allows continuous infiltration of local anaesthetic in the post operative period. Materials and Methods: Randomised controlled trial – 60 patients who underwent Laparotomy surgery were divided into 2 groups. Group A – Bilateral wound catheter was placed subcutaneously at the end of surgery. Group B –Rectus sheath catheter was placed bilaterally under USG guidance. Both patient received bolus of 10ml 0.25% Bupivacaine followed by infusion of 0.25% Bupivacaine at 2ml/hr for 48hrs. The hemodynamic parameters,VAS score, Post operative opioid consumption were recorded for the above mentioned period. Results: The VAS score was significantly low in Group B compared to Group A (2.2, 2.0, 1.67, 1.87, 1.7, 2.17 vs 3.93, 3.86, 3.6,3.97, 4.1, 3.8)(p<0.05) in the observed time intervals.
