Pethidine is the only opioid that can be used as a sole anesthetic agent in spinal anesthesia, because of its local anesthetic activity which is unique. As there are scant articles about pethidine as a sole anesthetic agent in spinal anesthesia, this encouraged us to report intrathecal pethidine used for two old patents for their femoral fractures repair. Spinal anesthesia was carried out using 1.6 mL pethidine (50 mg/mL) in the sitting position in the midline approach by a 24-gauge, Quincke point needle. The patients were successfully managed with this method. This report emphasizes that in some situations, intrathecal pethidine technique is a safe, and good alternative inexpensive technique over spinal anesthesia with local anesthetics.","PeriodicalId":228896,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anesthesia and Critical Care: Open access","volume":"21 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140248943","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}

Its management requires a great challenge, since postoperative analgesia must provide the mother with adequate control and at the same time facilitate care for the baby. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of postoperative analgesia with the use of intrathecal morphine. Method: Observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study carried out at the Martín Chang Puga General Teaching Hospital in the Nuevitas municipality, province of Camagüey, between January 2021 and December 2022. The sample was made up of 36 patients to whom subarachnoid anesthesia was applied with Hyperbaric lidocaine plus morphine for cesarean section. Results: The age between 27-31 years predominated, 63.9% of those who underwent cesarean section did not report postoperative pain. Almost half of the sample (47.2%) studied presented side effects with the use of intrathecal morphine, with pruritus predominating. 80.5% of patients were satisfied with postoperative analgesia. Conclusion: The majority of patients found satisfaction with the analgesic treatment despite the presence of adverse effects, so it can be stated that the use of intrathecal morphine is effective in the management of post-cesarean pain.","PeriodicalId":228896,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anesthesia and Critical Care: Open access","volume":"26 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140411859","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 the pre-anesthetic consultation, she requested another type of anesthesia for the surgical treatment of varicose veins in the lower limbs. Case report: A 58-year-old female patient presented with varicose veins, for surgical treatment without removing the saphenous vein, only the collaterals. Patient with a history of controlled hypertension, normal blood tests, normal ECG, and chest X-ray. Abbreviation for fasting with 200 ml CHO. Venous access with #20G extract and monitoring with continuous ECG, NIBP, SpO2, and EtCO2 through a nasal catheter. Cleaning the skin with chlorhexidine and local anesthesia with 3 ml of 1% lidocaine. The spinal puncture was performed with the patient in the ventral position, by the median line in the L3-L4 interspaces using a 27G Quincke needle, after the appearance of CSF 7.5 mg of 0.15% hypobaric bupivacaine was administered at a speed of 1 mL/15s. Immediate latency, superior level T10 analgesia, without any degree of motor block. The surgical procedure posterior lasted 1:40 hours, and anterior lasted 1:20 hours, both without any degree of motor blockade and without cardiocirculatory and respiratory changes. The patient mobilized alone on the surgical table, without assistance from the prone position to the supine position. At PACU she received 200 ml of CHO and was discharged to her room. At the end of the day, she was released to her residence. Conclusion: The practice of prone positioning for performing posterior dorsal anesthesia remains relatively unfamiliar to many anesthetists. The use of a low dose of 0.15% hypobaric bupivacaine, the low cephalic dispersion of the analgesia, and the predominance of sensory roots allow the surgery to be performed without any degree of motor blockade, and proprioception remains. The use of posterior spinal anesthesia and the abbreviation of fasting before and immediately after surgery allowed excellent patient satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":228896,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anesthesia and Critical Care: Open access","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140505268","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}

This technique causes frequent maternal hypotension responsible for a reduction in placental perfusion rate causing fetal acidosis. Prophylactic vasopressor treatment is systematically recommended. Noradrenaline is today a molecule of choice. The objective of this work was to describe the benefit of using baby norepinephrine in the prevention of arterial hypotension in the context of cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Methodology: Through a prospective observational study, parturients undergoing a planned or relative emergency cesarean section under spinal anesthesia during this period were included. Norepinephrine was administered by slow venous infusion at a rate of 0.028 to 0.057, or 4 to 10 drops/minute. Results: During the study period, 28 women were included. Their mean age was 30.1 ± 5.6. Scarred uterus (32%) and narrowed pelvis (25%) were the main indications. Parturients were classified according to the American Society of Anesthesia (ASA) as ASA1 in 82.1%. The systolic blood pressure recorded after the start of the baby norepinephrine infusion at the 1st minute, between the 5th and 15th minutes and between the 15th and 30th respectively between 100 and 140 mmHg in 71.4%, 85.7 % and 96.4% cases. Heart rate remained normal throughout norepinephrine administration. Conclusion: Low-dose norepinephrine ensures good hemodynamic stability perioperatively for cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.","PeriodicalId":228896,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anesthesia and Critical Care: Open access","volume":" 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139625116","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}

Effective postoperative pain control with patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) may contribute to recovery in these patients. In this study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) for pain control after hip arthroplasty. Methods: Our study was carried out in the orthopedic operating room of our hospital on 50 patients undergoing elective hip arthroplasty. At the end of the operation, the patients (n=50) were randomly divided into two groups: Group epidural (Group E) and Group intravenous (Group IV)] using a double-blind selection method, and PCA protocol was started. During the determined follow-up periods, the patients were evaluated regarding hemodynamic data, pain and sedation levels, and possible side effects. Results: In our study, no difference was observed between demographic data, heart rate, respiratory rate and mean blood pressure values ​​in comparisons between two groups. In Group IV compared to Group E, visual analog scale (VAS) values ​​(P<0.001), additional analgesic consumption (P<0.05) and undesirable effects such as nausea-vomiting and sedation (P<0.05) which were observed in postoperative pain follow-up were statistically significantly higher. Conclusion: Our study concluded that for postoperative pain management, the PCEA method has better analgesic performance, improves pain control and reduces the occurrence of side effects in hip arthroplasty compared to the PCIA method.","PeriodicalId":228896,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anesthesia and Critical Care: Open access","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127749669","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}
