Aim of the study: Aim of the study was to evaluate serum sodium after infusion of isotonic fluid containing 131 mEq/L sodium with no glucose versus that after infusion of hypotonic fluids containing 75 mEq/L sodium with 5% dextrose. Methods: This study was conducted on pediatric patients of Bangladesh Shishu Hospital and Institute who underwent hernia operations between January 2021 and September 2021. Data are given as mean+standard deviation. P-value <0.05 was considered to be significant. continuous demographic variables were compared using the unpaired t-test, and the chi-square test was used for categorical variables. Result: There were no adverse events and all 40 patients enrolled in this study completed the procedures. The pre-anesthesia and post-anesthesia induction blood sodium concentration. Pre-anesthesia sodium (mEq/L), Isotonic was 138.7 + 1.4 and Hypotonic was 138.9 + 1.5, the charges from pre-anesthesia to postanesthesia induction was - 0.20 + 1.6. Post-anesthesia sodium (mEq/L), Isotonic was 138.5 + 1.5 and Hypotonic was 137.3 + 1.2, the charges from pre-anesthesia to postanesthesia induction was - 1.60 + 1.8. Conclusion: The administration of hypotonic fluids tends to reduce serum sodium absorption in pediatric cases, indeed when administered for a short period. But the use of isotonic fluids helps to avoid a reduction in serum sodium in pediatric and so may enhance patient safety.","PeriodicalId":347630,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121455027","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}

It is simple, safe and cheap. We did this trial to compare the pain scores during both rest and activity and the functional ability after doing nerves block in comparison to patients who received non steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (conservative treatment). Materials and methods: We choose 90 patients in this double blind study, all are suffering of foot pain. Their ages ranging between35 and 80years, their weight ranging between 50 and 105 and their VAS pain scores between 6 and 9. We divided them into 2 groups, first group which has 45 patients who received NSAID only while the second group which also contain 45 patients who underwent nerve block. Results: The intensity of pain using VAS pain scores was small in the nerve block group after 6months, 1 year and 2 years in comparison with first group. The function scores of foot using American orthopedics of foot and ankle society scores (AOAFS) also was better in the second group (nerve block group). Conclusion: Ultrasound guidance ankle nerves block is better than using conservative anti-inflammatory drugs in reducing pain scores and improve the function capacity of the patients in patients with foot pain.","PeriodicalId":347630,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125087069","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}

The existing evidence emplies that the highest levels of D-dimer in the critically ill Covid-19 patient shows a linear relationship between the D-dimer measurement and the severity of the disease. However, that should also mean a patient on the road to recovery would have decrease in prothrombotic state and hence lower D-dimer readings. This study hypothesized that D-dimer trend would start to return towards normal as patients recovered from this illness. The present study included 43 patients with COVID-19 infection treated in the ICU at Khoula Hospital, Muscat, Oman from 10th May to 5th August 2020. Six readings of D-dimer were taken from the time of admission of Covid-19 npatient to their discharge from the ICU or demise. The data was statistically analyzed using generalized linear model, paired ‘t’ test and Wilcoxon Signet Ranks test. D-dimer demonstrated a statistically significant difference by the value of 4 μg/ml in patients who were eventually extubated compared to those who died while in the ICU, despite that, as a trend over time was insignificant. In conclusion, this study suggests that D-dimer would be noteworthy in assessing severity as a single time-point, however not as a prognostic value in evaluating improvement of critically ill patients of COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":347630,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116347733","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}
