Role of videolaryngoscope in the management of difficult airway in adults: A survey.

Background And Aims: A number of videolaryngoscopes (VLs) have flooded the Indian market. As per All India Difficult Airway Association 2016 guidelines, all anaesthesiologists should have access to a VL and must be trained to use it. We conducted an electronic survey to know the perception of Indian anaesthesiologists, who are members of the Indian Society of Anaesthesiologists (Karnataka State Chapter) towards the role of VL in the management of difficult airway (DA) and factors governing their use.

Effect of newer antioxidants on the bond strength of composite on bleached enamel.

Aim: The study aims to evaluate the effect of the application of two antioxidants on the bond strength of composite resin to bleached enamel.

Materials And Methods: Eighty enamel surfaces were obtained from forty human extracted premolars. Specimens were randomly divided into four groups (n = 20).

EFFECT OF DEXMEDETOMIDINE ON HEMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS DURING EXTUBATION. A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED DOUBLE BLIND STUDY.

Background: Extubation is known to produce significant hemodynamic disturbances. There is a need to avoid increase in heart rate and blood pressure in hypertensive and cardiac patients and in vascular, neuro and intraocular surgeries.

Aims: To study the ability of dexmedetomidine to attenuate the hemodynamic responses during extubation.

THE EFFECT OF A SINGLE DOSE OF MAGNESIUM SULPHATE AS AN ADJUVANT TO EPIDURAL BUPIVACAINE FOR INFRAUMBILICAL SURGERIES: A PROSPECTIVE DOUBLE-BLIND, RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL.

Context: Epidural anesthesia provides the advantage of segmental blockade and many adjuvants have been added to shorten the onset of action, improve the quality of analgesia and prolong the duration of analgesia. Magnesium sulphate(MgSO4) by virtue of its anti-iociceptive property has been administered by various routes.

Aim: To assess the effect of MgSO4 on the duration of onset of action of injection bupivacaine for epidural anesthesia in infraumbilical surgeries.

Comparative evaluation of microleakage of conventional and modifications of glass ionomer cement in primary teeth: An in vitro study.

Aims: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the microleakage among conventional, resin modified glass ionomer cements (GIC), and compomer cements in primary teeth.

Materials And Methods: Forty-five over retained non carious primary molars beyond exfoliation time were collected and randomly divided into three groups (n = 15). Group A: GC Fuji II; Group B: Vitremer; Group C: Compoglass F.
