An operation was planned for a 5-year old female patient with Type I osteogenesis imperfecta due to a right femoral fracture. Her medical history showed that she had been operated due to a left femoral fracture 5 months ago under sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia without any complications. On her physical examination, she was observed to be a short child with growth deficiency, kyphoscoliosis, and bone and shape deformities on her extremities. Her modified Mallampati score was III and neck extension was limited. Preoperative echocardiography, complete blood cell count, coagulation profile, and biochemical values were found in normal limits. She was taken into the Case Study Karaveli et al.; BJPR, 15(5): 1-5, 2017; Article no.BJPR.31703 2 operation theatre and monitorized. Pressure points were supported by silicon peds. Vascular access could not be established at first because of her agitation, and then it was achieved after the patient’s anesthesia induction was performed with sevoflurane. Her neck was kept stable and laryngeal mask was placed in the mouth in the first intervention. Anesthesia was provided through 50% O2 + 50% air and 2% sevoflurane. At the end of the operation that took 90 min, the patient was extubated unevenBtfully, and taken to the recovery room. Main anesthetic problems in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta are the difficulties in maintaining the airway management and malign hyperthermia. We used sevoflurane both at the induction and at the maintenance of anaesthesia due to the difficult vascular access of the patient, and we did not encounter any problems. Inhalation anesthesia such as sevoflurane as well as TIVA could be used for the anesthesia for the patients with osteogenesis imperfecta. Great care must be given because of difficult airway in such patients, and necessary precautions must be taken. Laryngeal mask airway could be preferred in order to secure the airway and avoid traumatic complications.","PeriodicalId":9320,"journal":{"name":"British journal of pharmaceutical research","volume":"56 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89826201","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}

Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the decision-making stages based on Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM) in Pap test in rural women. Methods: This study was conducted implementing a quasi-experimental method. The participants were divided into two groups as experimental and control groups using the Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM) among 180 rural females in Sarvabad. In treating the experimental group, the methods of lecturing with question and answer, playing videos, specialized consulting and Original Research Article Bahmani et al.; BJPR, 16(6): 1-7, 2017; Article no.BJPR.32965 2 pamphlet were used. The data gathering tool included a questionnaire consisting a demographic variables and variables affecting the stages of PAPM. Data analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney, chi-square and descriptive statistical methods. Results: The results showed that 45% of the participants found their way to the sixth stage, i.e., practice stage (doing Pap smear). In comparison of the means of the scores of psychological variables affecting the decision process in Pap smear test, there was a significant relationship between the experimental and control groups based on Mann-Whitney test and control groups based on variables, perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, perceived selfefficacy and awareness. But the perceived severity was not statistically significant. Chance of entering the sixth stage in the intervention group was 2.5 times higher than the control group. Conclusions: Females for Pap smear at the same stage of the decision were not on the same basis. Thus, educational interventions should be done at each stage.","PeriodicalId":9320,"journal":{"name":"British journal of pharmaceutical research","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78313949","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}
