The present case study represents the efficacy of the surgical outcome and anesthetic protocol of C-section in rabbit. A 1.2 years old, local and non-descriptive breed of rabbit was presented to the SAQ Teaching Veterinary Hospital (SAQTVH), Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (CVASU) with a history of one kit normally delivered and remains straining and treated with oxytocin. Problem on physical examine included abdominal distension and vaginal secretion. Based on the clinical examination, X-Ray and Ultrasonography report, it was decided to perform surgery. The surgery was aseptically control under general anesthesia combination with xylazine and ketamine with the dose rate 5mg/kg and 30mg/kg respectively. The rabbit became unconscious within 3 minutes of intramuscular injection. Laparotomy midline incision (1cm) was performed behind the umbilicus. Two dead fetuses were removed and proper apposition of abdomen was done. The rabbit was recovered fully after 50 minutes of injection. As a part of post operative treatment which was maintained with antibiotic, pain killer for 7 days. The wound healing was noticed after 10 days of operation. So, the case report suggests that rabbit C-section can be performed successfully with xylazine and ketamine anesthesia with recommended doses.","PeriodicalId":228896,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anesthesia and Critical Care: Open access","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116444535","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}

In non-diabetic subjects the stress response is more in obese population than in non-obese due to the presence of insulin resistance. The severity of surgery as well as the type of anesthesia influences the magnitude of the counter regulatory response The study was undertaken to observe the effect of stress of surgery in obese and non-obese non-diabetic patients undergoing craniotomy under general anesthesia. Methods: A Prospective randomized parallel group study was done on a total of 100 patients. They were divided into two groups non-obese patients and obese patients comprising of 50 patients in each group depending on their BMI. If at any time intraoperative CBG was found to be more than or equal to 150mg/dL calculated dose of human soluble insulin was given as intravenous bolus equal to the amount of CBG/100 units. Results: 36% patients in obese population developed at least one episode of hyperglycemia (CBG ≥150 mg/dL) but only 20% in non-obese population did so. Insulin consumption was significantly higher in obese population than in non-obese population to maintain normoglycemia. The relative risk of becoming hyperglycemic in obese compared to non-obese is 1.80 (95% CI 0.92 to 3.51) Conclusion: We conclude that stress induced hyperglycemic response in patients undergoing craniotomy surgery under general anaesthesia is common in non-diabetic obese non-obese population.","PeriodicalId":228896,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anesthesia and Critical Care: Open access","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128871513","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 24year-old female underwent microdochotomy of left breast under general anaesthesia. Her trachea was extubated in the operating room with satisfactory respiratory parameters even though she remained sedated and not obeying commands.

Such injuries are the most common reasons for anaesthetic morbidity and have even more serious repercussions for singers. Surgery in the abdominal region is singularly important, considering the vital role that abdominal support plays for respiratory dynamics and vocalisation. Perioperative management and planning and strict anaesthetic practices are fundamental for minimising this risk and promoting an optimum clinical outcome. The lack of guidelines adapted to this context justifies the need to gather together and review all existing evidence, which this case study aims to do. Case presentation: The clinical case concerns a 46year old female, a light opera singer, admitted for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It describes the ample pre-anaesthetic assessment and education and lists the protective technical and pharmacological choices adopted during the surgery. The subsequent follow-up serves as the starting point for reflecting on the results obtained, preparing a suggested sequential approach for each perioperative stage. Conclusion: Even though vocal damage depends on the surgical and anaesthetic approach during the operation, anaesthesia for voice professionals requires rigorous planning beforehand, often being more complex than the surgical procedure. A multifaceted intervention including counselling, less invasive anaesthetic practices and systematic follow-up promote the key strategy – overall protection.","PeriodicalId":228896,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anesthesia and Critical Care: Open access","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124263437","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}
