The objective of this prospective, randomized, comparative study is therefore to compare the adductor canal block (ACB) with femoral nerve block (FNB) on quadriceps muscle strength preservation and analgesic efficacy in the patients undergoing TKR. Material and Methods: Present study conducted in ppatients of age group 35-70 years, ASA physical status class I, II and III patients posted for unilateral TKR. 50 ppatients were randomized equally by block randomization technique. Group 1 received Adductor Canal Block (15 ml bolus of 0.18% ropivacaine followed by infusion at the rate of 8-10ml/hr), Group 2 received Femoral Nerve Block (15 ml bolus of 0.18% ropivacaine followed by infusion at the rate of 8-10ml/hr) with electromechanical infusion pump for 24 Hours. Results: Gender, BMI distribution between two groups doesn’t have significant difference. Out of 50 patients in our study 19.6% (9) patients were ASA I, 75% (39) were ASA II and 5.4% (2) patients were ASA III. Heart rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were measured preoperatively, post-operative at 6-8 hrs, at 12 hrs. and at 24 hrs. The difference in those parameters at any given time was not statistically significant. ACB is similar to FNB with respect to quadriceps muscle strength measured by MRC grading at 6 hours. However ACB is very effective in preserving the quadriceps muscle strength measured by MRC grading at 12 and 24 hours with a statistically significant ‘P’ value of 0.0001. Conclusion Adductor canal block makes early rehabilitation after total knee replacement without the risk of inpatient falls.","PeriodicalId":18595,"journal":{"name":"MedPulse International Journal of Anesthesiology","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79715756","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 Induction and recovery depends on anaesthetic drug solubility, cardiac output and minute ventilation. Sevoflurane and desflurane have low blood gas partition coefficients, and therefore share the advantage of faster onset and recovery from anaesthesia when compared to other inhaled anesthetics. Hence, we designed this prospective randomized study to compare the intraoperative haemodynamic parameters and recovery characteristics of desflurane and sevoflurane. Methods: Sixty patients aged between 18-50 years belonging to ASA I and II scheduled for elective general anaesthesia were enrolled in the study and randomly divided into two groups to receive desflurane(group D) and sevoflurane(group S) for the maintenance of anaesthesia. Both groups were premedicated, pre oxygenated and induced with propofol. Muscle relaxation maintained with vecuronium. Desflurane and sevoflurane concentrations were adjusted according to entropy parameters and clinical variables like HR, NIBP, MAP and SPO2. Neuromuscular blockade reversed with neostigmine and glycopyrrolate. Recovery characteristics assessed using modified Aldrete scoring. Results: The intraoperative haemodynamics was similar with both desflurane and sevoflurane, and was maintained within 20% of baseline values. However, early recovery characteristics were significantly better in group D. Time to eye opening was 6.63 + 2.17 min in group S versus 4.77 + 1.41 min in group D (P< 0.001). Time to Extubation was 8.03 + 2.54 min in group S and 5.93 + 1.44 min in group D (P < 0.001). Response to verbal commands was 8.77 + 3.01 min in group S and 6.97 + 1.67 min in group D (P < 0.001). Modified Aldrete score were significantly better in group D than group S at 1st min, 2nd min and 3rd min. Thereafter, modified Aldrete score assessed at 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 min were similar in both groups. Conclusion: Both desflurane and sevoflurane produce similar stable haemodynamic profile. Despite the faster early recovery with desflurane, no significant differences were found between the two volatile anaesthetics after 5 minutes during intermediate recovery period.","PeriodicalId":18595,"journal":{"name":"MedPulse International Journal of Anesthesiology","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76440115","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}

Material and Methods: Present study was prospective, randomized, comparative study, conducted in patients with 18-70 years age, ASA grade- I/II, posted for abdominothoracic surgeries, Mallampatti scores - I and II, consented for participation. 120 patients were randomly assigned into two groups of 60 each, to either Erector spine block group (Group 1) or conventional pain killers (Group 2).
