Moringa cultivation for livestock feed is interconnected with these activities. To assess the spatial suitability of moringa plantations, a descriptive study utilized GIS software and overlay methods, incorporating elevation, slope, annual rainfall, temperature data, and land use maps. After excluding forested, residential, and other areas, Kupang Regency's total land area was 288,497 ha. Of this, 114,239 ha were found highly suitable, 138,040 ha moderately suitable, and 36,218 ha unsuitable for moringa cultivation. East Kupang Subdistrict ranked highest in suitable land (16,232 ha), followed by Takari (11,932 ha), Sulamu (9,281 ha), and West Kupang (8,208 ha). Conversely, Fatuleu Tengah (27 ha), Amfoang Tengah (96 ha), and Amfoang Selatan (409 ha) had the least very suitable land. Similarly, Takari (18,279 ha), West Fatuleu (15,784 ha), Fatuleu (14,194 ha), West Amarasi (10,620 ha), and South Amfoang (10,130 ha) excelled in moderately suitable land. In contrast, South Semau (246 ha), East Kupang (434 ha), and Central Kupang (960 ha) had the smallest moderately suitable areas. Unsuitable land for moringa, like South Amfoang (10,270 ha) and Amfoang Tengah (8,932 ha), were prominent. This research aids in identifying optimal locations for moringa cultivation, aligning farming practices with the region's agricultural needs.","PeriodicalId":347630,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131247148","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}

Bucking over the tube during extubation can result in a potentially dangerous hemodynamic response. Tracheal tube cuff can be used as a reservoir for drugs to blunt this response. Lidocaine, a local anesthetic can achieve this by anesthetizing the airway. Dexamethasone has been known to potentiate the effect of lidocaine and has an intrinsic anti-inflammatory property. Methods: A prospective double-blind randomized control trial was conducted in a tertiary hospital for patients undergoing elective surgeries under general anesthesia requiring endotracheal intubation. Sixty patients were randomized equally into one of three groups. Cuff was inflated with saline (Group-S), 40 mg alkalinized lidocaine (Group-L), 40 mg alkalinized lidocaine with 8 mg dexamethasone (Group-LD). Heart rate, blood pressure and bucking were recorded during extubation, and post-operative sore throat were assessed. Results: All groups were comparable with regard to demographics, quantity of drug instilled in the cuff, duration of extubation and baseline hemodynamics. Group-L had the lowest incidence of hemodynamic changes during extubation, even lower than Group-LD. (p=0.020). Group-L and Group-LD had a lower incidence of bucking when compared to placebo (p<0.001). Both Group-L and Group-LD revealed a lower grade of sore throat in the early post-operative period. Conclusion: Instilling endotracheal tube cuff with 40 mg alkalinized significantly blunts hemodynamic response and bucking during extubation, and sore throat in the early post-operative period compared to placebo. Addition of 8 mg dexamethasone does not improve hemodynamic extubation response.","PeriodicalId":347630,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115149704","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}

Africa is faced with the growing problem of obesity and overweight, due to new habits food and new lifestyles. Obesity surgery has come to impose itself in our environment as a mechanical and metabolic aid to fight against this scourge which has become a public health problem. It is in this perspective that we proposed to study the intraoperative complications Related to Anesthesia for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at Essos Hospital Center. Patients and Methods: This was a descriptive, retrospective and analytical study that took place over a period of 3 years, from January 2017 to December 2019, in the anesthesiology department of the Essos hospital center. All the files of the obese patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy during the above-mentioned period were included in the study. The variables studied were: socio-demographic data, intraoperative anesthetic complications. The results obtained were subjected to univariate and bivariate analysis using the CSPRO and SPSS software. Results: A non-probability convenience sampling allowed us to obtain 16 patients.

It (PE) is a common and often fatal complication of venous thromboembolic disease (VTE). Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third leading cause of cardiovascular-related death and is responsible for the hospitalization of a huge number of patients yearly. D-dimer concentration is a diagnostic marker of pulmonary embolism (PE). Aim of the study: This study aimed to assess the impact of anesthesia on D-dimer concentration in patients undergoing surgery associated with high risk for pulmonary embolism. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Anesthesia & ICU, Mugda Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from January 2022 to December 2022.

When an invasive procedure is planned for a patient under DOA, the challenge for the anaesthetist is to assess the risk of bleeding and thromboembolism secondary to the medication withdrawal. In certain situations, ultrasound, with its advantages of guidance and location, is an important tool that can reduce the peri-procedural bleeding risk. Method: We illustrate this problem with this clinical case. Observation: This is an 18-year-old female patient with a history of recent deep vein thrombosis treated with direct oral anticoagulants in an underlying pulmonary tuberculosis condition under treatment; received in the intensive care unit for management of respiratory distress due to a hydro-pneumothorax confirmed on pleuropulmonary ultrasound. Amain this urgent indication for thoracic drainage, the patient benefited from a decision by the referral team to withdraw the DOAs for 3 days, a relay with curative LMWH, an exsufflation of the pneumothorax and an evacuation puncture of the effusion under ultrasound guidance and location. Chest drainage was performed successfully and uneventfully after 3 days of DOA withdrawal. Conclusion: When an invasive procedure has to be performed in the emergency department or when the thromboembolic risk is very high, validated strategies for the peri-procedural management of DOAs have not been the subject of consensus. Our case-report highlighted the value of thoracic ultrasound in the intensive care unit, which facilitates the performance of minimally traumatic procedures in the emergency department. This tool allows to postpone a procedure of bleeding risk while promoting good drug management.","PeriodicalId":347630,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care","volume":"259 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117043354","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}
