Objective: The main objective of the study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of epidural bupivacaine and trans versus abdominus plane (TAP) block to provide better post-operative pain relief in total abdominal hysterectomy. Study design and place of study: This study was a prospective randomized control trial conducted at Department of anesthesiology, Liaquat National Hospital, Karachi for the period July 2017- July, 2018. Methods: Total 101 patients were enrolled thorough pre anesthetic assessment before surgery and an informed and written consent was obtained. Patients were allocated in group A and B after taking all ASA monitoring, participants in group A had an epidural catheter passed while Group B patients were given transversus abdominis plane block intra-operatively. A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score was used to assess anxiety levels. Statistical test like the chi-square test was used, with a p-value of 0.05 being considered statistically significant Results: Total 101 participants enrolled, the average age was 45.48 ± 1.06 (Age Rang 30-60years).

One method for minimizing these hemodynamic consequences is maintaining an optimum level of anesthesia. Another option is giving patients a pharmaceutical formulation that modifies how anesthetic agents react. Objective: The current study sought to determine if preoperative oral midazolam could reduce postoperative pain scores and the occurrence of Rescue Analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: This is a single-blinded randomized controlled study conducted at the Surgery department of Jinnah Medical College Hospital, Korangi Karachi, on patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Through simple random sampling, participants were divided into two study groups, control (n=32) and 7.5mg receiving preoperative oral midazolam-intervention group. After surgery, the VAS pain score in both group participants was measured at 2, 8, 12, and 24 hours. The frequency of rescue analgesia and duration of hospital stay was also observed. Standard deviation, mean, chi-square test, and T-test was performed to determine the variation in both groups by using SPSS version 26. The P value ≤0.005 was measured significant. Results: No significant difference in the postoperative pain score after oral administration of midazolam in the intervention group compared to the control group at 2, 12, and 24 hrs intervals. Except at 8-hour intervals, a significant change of 0.004 was observed in both study groups. A significant variation of 0.008 was observed in the duration of hospital stay in the intervention group when compared with the control group. Lastly, in the present study, no significant difference in the frequency of rescue analgesics was observed in both study groups. Practical implication: This study will help out to determine the right dosage of oral midazolam which might effectively be used in managing post-operative pain in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients.

Study Design & Setting: Using non probability purposive sampling, a prospective study design was used to collect the data from in tertiary care hospitals with 60 beds in ICU. Methodology: Patients who underwent CPB having no history of psychological and mental illness was recruited for the said study. We used a short test of global mental status to measure cognitive performance called the “Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)”.Wilcoxon test was used to analyze the pre- and post-operative changes over MMSE. The Folstein test, often known as the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), is a 30-point survey that has been widely used in clinical and research contexts to evaluate cognitive impairment. Different parameters; temporal, spatial, alternate, recognition, and recall were evaluated. P-value ≤0.05 was considered as significant. Results: In this study, a significant fall in spatial, temporal, short term recall, long term recall, object recognition, alternate, reading, writing, read and act, and drawing in post-operative MMSE scores was observed as compared to pre-operative. However, there was no significant change in command so there is little or no effect on command parameters in pre-operative and post-operative cardiopulmonary bypass patients. There was a significant difference between pre-operation and post-operation total scores i.e., a fall in the ‘total’ score of neurocognition occurred after cardiopulmonary bypass. Practical implication Study finding may be used for practical implications in managing neurocognitive outcome in patients undergoing cardiopulomonary bypass.

According to reports, it is responsible for almost fifty percent of all pregnancy - related deaths. The prevalence of caesarean section (CS) has dramatically upped in both low income as well as in developed nations, thereby increasing the likelihood of obstetrical haemorrhage. The rationale of this study is that it is important to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TA on blood loss with LSCS. Methods: Cases were separated into two subgroups: case: (A) and control: (B). In the operating theater, participants were given A and B packages to choose from, the contents of whom were only known to the nurse in charge of drug preparation. All meds were injected by an anesthetist who was not in charge of supervising or assessing the patients.

The insufficient data about the sex difference in the post-interventions outcomes and disparities in management is available. Objective: This study aim was to determine the sex-related differences in the patient diagnosed with ACS. This study also aimed to determine how these differences have perished in a time span of one year. Study design: It is a retrospective study with the statistical approaches. Material and Methods: The data of the 1000 patients that visited to AFIC Rawalpindi was collected. The duration of the study was 6 months, from August 2021 to January 2022. The patients were diagnosed with the non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome were selected. The ethical and review board committee of the hospital approved the study. The patients were further grouped to ACS I and ACS II. Results: Out of the 1000 patients taken, there were 650 patients that had acute coronary syndrome I while there were 350 patients that had acute coronary syndrome II. Among the 650 patients of ACSI there were 430 males and 220 were female patients. And among the 350 ACSII there were 230 males and 120 were female. The study indicate that the older women have the higher cases with reported history of heart failure and hypertension. The higher mortality cases were also observed in the females. The association between coronary angiography in-hospital use and female gender was very weak. The physicians underestimate the risk associated with the diagnosed patients that leads to less use of invasive strategies for treatment of the men and women. Conclusion: Due to underestimation of the risks associated with the ACS patients the conservative methods are used for the treatment of the women. The poor in-hospital outcome are associated with the female gender. It was found that women are less likely to undergo coronary artery angioplasty and other cardiac procedures as compared to the male patients.
