Evaluation of Electrolyte Imbalance in Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury Admitted in the Central ICU of a Tertiary Care Centre: A Prospective Observational Study.

Introduction Electrolyte imbalance is a salient finding in traumatic brain injury which can derail their clinical course of recovery in physical and cognitive health while prolonging the hospital stay. Objective This study aims to understand the variation in electrolyte profile that occurs in traumatic brain injury patients which can help in better patient management. Materials and method 50 trauma patients with head injury (Group A) and 50 patients without head injury (Group B) admitted in Central ICU (CICU) under the Department of Anaesthesiology, Assam Medical College and Hospital (AMCH) were selected and analysed with regard to their electrolyte variability.

Comparative Study of Two Laryngeal Mask Airways: Proseal Laryngeal Mask Airway and Supreme Laryngeal Mask Airway in Anesthetized Paralyzed Adults Undergoing Elective Surgery.

Context: Supraglottic airway devices can act as an alternative to endotracheal intubation in both normal and difficult airway. LMA Proseal (P-LMA) and LMA Supreme (S-LMA) alongwith acting as effective ventilating device, provide port for gastric drainage.

Aim: The objective of this study was to compare the two devices for effective ventilation and complications.
