Sixty adult patients were included in this randomized controlled double-blind study. After intubation, an infusion of MgSO4 (10 mg/kg/h) and isotonic saline 0.9% (10 mg/kg/h) were administered in groups M and C, respectively. Heart rate and mean arterial pressure were recorded before and during surgery. Serum magnesium levels were recorded before and after the surgery. Perioperative remifentanil consumption and extubation time were recorded. In the post-anesthesia care room (PACU), Agitation-sedation with Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS), the pain was evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and recorded at the baseline, at 5th, 10th, 15th and 30th minutes. Patients were transferred to surgical ward with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) for postoperative analgesia and received diclofenac sodium for rescue analgesia if VAS >4. Postoperative VAS scores at 2nd, 4th, 6th and 24th hours, opioid consumption after 4 and 24 hours and rescue analgesic consumption for postoperative 24 h were recorded. In the PACU, RASS scores were statistically lower in group M than in group C (p = 0.001), and VAS scores were statistically lower at all measurement times in group M than in group C. In the surgical ward, VAS Scores were statistically lower in Group M at the 6th and 24th hours than in group C (p = 0.015, p = 0.009, respectively). The need for post-operative rescue analgesic was statistically lower in Group M (p < 0.001). The side effect incidence of both groups was similar. Our findings suggest that perioperative low-dose (10 mg/kg/h) MgSO4 infusion reduces early post-op agitation, VAS scores and the need for analgesics up to 24 hours postoperatively. Low dose MgSO4 infusion can be effectively applied for pain management in patients undergoing lumbar surgery.","PeriodicalId":49522,"journal":{"name":"Signa Vitae","volume":"51 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":"135106285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies reported that despite that traditional “NPO (nothing by mouth) after midnight” regulations are being liberalized, noncompliance with NPO status is still a threat to patient safety and may result in delays of elective surgical procedures, reduce the efficiency of ambulatory surgery setting, and compromise patient safety. This study aimed to assess the community’s knowledge of preoperative fasting, as well as their attitudes toward preoperative fasting in Saudi Arabia.This is a cross-sectional study conducted among the Saudi general population. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed among the targeted population using an online surgery. The questionnaire includes socio-demographic data (i.e., age, gender, education, etc.) and a 12-item questionnaire to measure the knowledge and attitude toward preoperative fasting. The result of 4257 participants was recruited, 67.2% were females and 39.3% were aged between 18 to 24 years old. The prevalence of participants who had surgery that required anesthesia was 48.9%. The overall mean knowledge score was 4.80 (standard deviation (SD) 2.36) out of 12 points. 60.1% were considered poor knowledge, 38.3% were moderate and only 1.6% were considered good knowledge levels. Factors associated with increased knowledge were being older in age, female gender, living in Northern Region, and having undergone surgery that required anesthesia. The level of knowledge among the general population regarding the importance of fasting before the surgery was inadequate. Older females who were living in the Northern Region and who previously received general anesthesia during their previous operation were more likely to demonstrate better knowledge about preoperative fasting as compared to the rest of the groups.

This prospective observational study recruited all consecutive patients with shortness of breath as their chief complaint. Patients were evaluated using REMS and categorized in the ED as low-, intermediate-, or high-risk. In-hospital outcomes and the survival rates of the patients were recorded. The patients’ REMS points and lactate levels were analyzed together to elicit the REMS+L scores used to predict mortality and outcomes. A total of 1044 patients were included in the study. The majority (64.8%, n = 677) of the patients received diagnoses related to the respiratory system, 9.9% (n = 103) with the cardiovascular system, and 25.3% (n = 264) with nonspecific diagnoses. A total of 31% (n = 324) of the patients were hospitalized, while the majority (78%, n = 253) were admitted to an intensive care unit. A total of 104 (10%) died within 28 days, with 23 of those deaths (2.2%) occurring within 2 days. The diagnostic accuracies of lactate, REMS, and REMS+L values were calculated using receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis and revealed that the REMS+L score (p < 0.001) was more accurate than the lactate measurements (p < 0.001) and REMS score (p < 0.001) in predicting short-term mortality. The REMS+L score (p < 0.001) was superior to the REMS (p < 0.001) and lactate values (p < 0.001) in predicting mortality.

Difficult airways and severe airway-related adverse events occur much more frequently in such settings due to limited time and resources as well as the patient’s reduced physiological reserve. The gum elastic bougie (GEB) intubation tube is an inexpensive, simple, and readily transportable aid to intubation, but its effectiveness in emergency airway management has not been comprehensively evaluated in recent years. Here, we performed a literature review and have updated the available evidence on the utility of GEB in emergency airway management. After a systematic MEDLINE search, we identified 36 relevant reports that compared GEB with alternative airway management approaches in a variety of real-world and simulated settings. In most studies, GEB increased the first-pass ETI success rate and decreased the force applied on the tongue and incisors during laryngoscopy. GEB also increased the speed, safety, and reliability of emergency cricothyrotomy. Conflicting results were obtained in studies examining GEB use for ETI during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and other special circumstances such as selective lung ventilation, the presence of vomitus, and the use of personal protective equipment. These results suggest that GEB use could be expanded beyond difficult airways and rescue after failed ETI attempts, but further studies will be necessary to determine the utility of GEB under special conditions. Because fatal airway-related adverse events can in part be attributed to limited accessibility of proper airway management equipment, devices such as GEB may increase successful outcomes, especially under the overwhelmingly challenging conditions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":49522,"journal":{"name":"Signa Vitae","volume":"13 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":"135949779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hypothesized that a block using the proximal perivascular (PPV) method at the MCN branching from the lateral cord would obviate the need for an MCN block while ensuring a quality similar to that of the PN method. For the PN group (n = 25), a needle was placed on each nerve, and 8 mL local anesthetic was infiltrated around the radial, ulnar, and median nerves (total: 24 mL). We then injected 6 mL local anesthetic around the MCN. In the PPV group (n = 25), we moved the probe proximally until the branching junction of the the MCN in the lateral cord. The needle tips were placed in the 12-o’clock and 6-o’clock positions of the axillary artery, and 15 mL local anesthetic was injected (total: 30 mL). The procedure time, number of needle passes, procedure-related complications, sensory/motor block level, and onset time were recorded. The PPV group had a significantly shorter procedure time than the PN group (3.9 ± 1.0 vs. 7.5 ± 3.3 min, p < 0.001). Furthermore, the PPV group required fewer needle passes. The PN group showed a significantly faster onset time than the PPV group (6.4 ± 2.7 vs. 10.4 ± 2.9 min, p < 0.001). The induction time did not show significant intergroup difference. Sensory blockade in the PN group occurred significantly faster than that in the PPV group at 5 and 10 min. There were no significant differences in motor nerve paralysis. PPV axillary block under ultrasound guidance was as effective as the PN axillary block.

We conducted a retrospective study of mushroom intoxication cases using national registry data (representative of the period 01 January 2011 to 31 December 2019). Specifically, we analyzed the demographics, vital signs, mental status, intoxication related factors, and clinical presentations of the patients. The outcomes were assessed based on general ward admission, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, length of hospitalization, and mortality. The t-test or chi-square test were used to compare the emergency department (ED) discharge group and admission group. Logistic regressions were used to predict patients that were high-risk with regards to being admitted. A total of 393 patients with mushroom intoxication were presented at the ED, and the highest number of visits occurred in the month of September. Overall, 277 (70.5%) patients were discharged from the ED and 116 (29.5%) patients were admitted. Of these, 25 (6.4%) patients were admitted to the ICU, and 3 (2.6%) patients died. Patients are more likely to be admitted to the general ward or ICU when symptoms presented after 6 h: 6 to 24 h (Odds ratio (OR) 2.158; 95% Confidence interval (CI), 1.218–3.816) or &gt;24 h (OR: 3.382; 95% CI, 1.438–8.050).
