Various formulae have been used to predict appropriate endotracheal tube (ETT) size in children, but there is no consensus regarding the best predictor. Recent use of ultrasonography (USG) to predict the ETT s...
It is advised to use a regional block to lower postoperative opioid usage. Therefore, we aimed to compare the analgesic effect of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) on th...
Mechanical ventilation causes diaphragmatic atrophy and reduces diaphragmatic efficiency. Patients with diaphragmatic dysfunction have longer mechanical ventilation durations and intensive care unit stay. Ther...
Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous disorder characterized by hamartoma formation in various organ systems leading to highly variable clinical presentation. These patients pose a challen...
Surgical repair for pediatric patients with cleft palate is performed under general anesthesia requiring endotracheal intubation. However, intubating these cases is usually difficult because of the cleft itsel...
Dexamethasone is a potent corticosteroid when comes to effectively preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). However, some studies have documented its association with hyperglycemia. In our study, w...
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) predisposes patients to both arterial and venous thrombosis due to excessive inflammation, platelet activation, endothelial dysfunction, and stasis. Therefore, therapeutic antico...
Recently, several cases of mucormycosis in people with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been increasingly reported worldwide, in particular from India. As an increasing number of post-COVID patients wi...
There are many methods used for cranial nerve monitoring in cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumor excision with or without muscle relaxant which may affect hemodynamics and consumption of drug doses. The partial ...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare but fatal neurodegenerative disease of the motor neurons that causes muscle weakness, atrophy, and eventually respiratory failure and death. Anesthesia in these pa...
The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) has been considered as a pain generator in about 10% to 25% of patients with leg or low back pain. The current study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided i...
Airway management by intubation is considered a major responsibility and vital skill for anaesthesiologists. Direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation under vision continues to be the gold standard for a...
There has been a rise in cases of sino-nasal mucormycosis in patients who contracted the COVID-19 virus and were on steroids. Population at risk includes diabetics and on immunosuppressant therapy and/or immun...
Brachial plexus block is one of the peripheral nerve blocks commonly used in regional anesthesia. We aimed to investigate whether the perfusion index (PI) measurement can be used to evaluate the adequacy of th...
Interscalene approach for brachial plexus block is recognized as the gold standard technique for postoperative pain control after shoulder scope surgeries. However, it is associated with major adverse effects ...
Penetrating injury of the oropharynx occurs frequently in children, however, anesthetic management is seldom described in such cases.
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of addition of 500-mg magnesium sulfate (MgSo4) or 8-mg dexamethasone to bupivacaine in bilateral ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block (QLB), on the duration o...
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal death all over the world. It could be primary or secondary with uterine atony being the cause in 80% of cases.
Perioperative aspiration of gastric contents is a serious complication and its severity depends upon the gastric volume and nature of the aspirate. Diabetic patients are more prone for aspiration because of de...
Patients presenting for coronary artery bypass grafting often have left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. These patients are in need for a well contracting left atrium (LA) to generate the required cardiac ou...
Total knee replacement (TKR) is considered a prevailing cause of severe postoperative pain and discomfort among orthopedic surgeries, limiting postoperative ambulation that is important for regaining joint fun...
The near-miss/adverse events during elective and emergency non-cardiac surgeries requiring unplanned admissions to the intensive care unit (ICU) during the perioperative period are not known. Patients undergoi...
Ultrasound imaging of optic sheath nerve diameter [ONSD] is reported to reflect changes consistent with intracranial pressure changes seen in traumatic brain injury and also in documented serum hyponatremia. W...
Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) are the mainstay for airway management in pediatric ambulatory surgeries and may often be a suitable alternative to endotracheal intubation due to their favorable profile. Op...
Diffuse coronary artery spasm after coronary artery bypass grafting may cause disastrous circulatory collapse and death if not detected and managed promptly.
Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation may lead to a remarkable hemodynamic pressor response. Dexmedetomidine, an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, can be effectively used to attenuate this pressor effect. This s...
