It serves as a stereoisomer as atracurium having around three to four times the potency of atracurium. At doses up to 0.4mg/kg (8xED95), cisatracurium does not produce histamine release and is linked with greater stability of hemodynamics than atracurium. A 0.15mg/kg (3xED95) intubating dose is advised. High Comparing atracurium to cisatracurium at same doses, most previous clinical investigations have found that atracurium has been more efficacious than cisatracurium at the same dose (2ED95). Raising the daily intake of cisatracurium from ED95 (0.1mg/kg) to ED95 (0.2mg/kg) or ED95 (0.3mg/kg) has been proven in a small number of investigations to result in greater neuromuscular blockage and better cardiovascular stability without a noticeable increase in histamine release. Therefore, the current study was conducted to examine the effects of cisatracurium at 2 ED95 and 4 ED95 on intubating circumstances and hemodynamic stability.","PeriodicalId":322811,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Anesthesiology Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128238811","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}

Methods: Sixty patients, aged 18 - 50 years of either sex, ASA grade I & II, who were undergoing elective lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries under spinal anaesthesia with hyperbaric bupivacaine, were randomly allocated in to two equal groups of 30 patients each to recieve 20 ml of normal saline intravenously (group A) and intravenous dexmedetomidine 0.5 mcg/kg prepared in normal saline to a total volume of 20 ml (group D) over a 10 min period as a single dose just before spinal anaesthesia. Onset and duration of sensory blocks and motor blocks, highest sensory block level, time to 2 segment regression, duration of analgesia, perioperative haemodynamic parameters, VAS and sedation scores were assessed. Results: Both groups were comparable with regard to demographic data. The onset of sensory and motor block were significantly earlier in group D as compared to group A. Duration of motor block and analgesia were significantly longer in group D as compared to group A. Sedation score were significantly higher in group D. Though HR and NIBP were significantly decreased in group D, however all patients remained haemodynamically stable.

Data of the 30 patients who underwent surgery for correction of scoliosis by using various instrumentation and non-instrumentation techniques with bone grafting in period of one year was collected. The mean intraoperative blood loss was 424.66 ± 342.07ml which was 21.45 ± 13.37 percent of estimated blood volume. The mean total blood loss (intraoperative + drain output) was 488 ± 361.72 i.e 24.78 ± 14.22 percent of estimated blood volume. The mean total blood administration was 472.82 ± 302.96 ml. Introperative blood loss was significantly related with duration of surgery (r= 0.845, P< 0.001). When surgery lasted less than 6 hrs the mean intraoperative blood loss was 234.7 ± 171.39 ml and when the duration was more than 6hrs intraoperative blood loss was 673.07 ± 354.5 ml (P < 0.001). Number of fused vertebrae were related with intraoperative blood loss (r= 0.632, P<0.01) but more significantly related with total blood loss (r= 0.766, P <0.001). When less than seven vertebrae were fused the mean intraoperative blood loss and the mean total blood loss was 236.87 ± 217.36 ml and 277.81 ± 227.91 ml respectively. In case of more than seven vertebral fusion the mean intraopertive blood loss was 639.28±336.94 (P= 0.003) and total blood loss was 728.21 ±336.94 ml (P= 0.001). A poor correlation was obtained with the mean intraopertive blood loss and Cobb’s angle (r=0.468, P<0.02) but a better correlation was observed with the mean total blood loss (r= 0.541, P< 0.01). There was a significant correlation between the mean intraoperative blood loss (P< 0.005) and total blood loss (P<0.008) with the wake up test when it was performed.

None of the bedside airway assessment tests have proven to be efficacious and highly predictive. This study was done to determine the sensitivity and specificity of Modified Mallampati test alone, Thyromental distance alone and in combination of both for predicting difficult intubation. Material and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in Universal College of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital (UCMSTH), which involved 80 American Society of Anesthesiologist Physical Status (ASA PS) I patients undergoing elective surgeries under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. All patients were included for preoperative assessment by Modified Mallampati test alone and Thyromental distance measurement. The correlation between these tests and Cormack and Lehane laryngoscopic grading was done to find out the result. Results: Prediction of difficult intubation among 80 patients by Modified Mallampati test alone showed sensitivity of 72.7% and specificity of 98.6% whereas with Thyromental distance alone, showed sensitivity of 36.4% and specificity of 100%. When both predictors were combined, result showed sensitivity of 72.7% and specificity of 98.6% which was similar to that of Modified Mallampati test alone.
