Dexmedetomidine vs Dexamethasone as an Adjuvant to Levobupivacaine in Ultrasound-Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Total Abdominal Hysterectomies.

Background: In the postoperative period, open total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) surgeries induce considerable pain. Multimodal strategies are being used to alleviate pain.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the efficacy and safety of dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to levobupivacaine in ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks for postoperative pain in TAH patients.

Evaluation of Gastric Emptying by Ultrasonography after Recommended Fasting Period and Administration of Prokinetic in End-stage Renal Disease Patients.

Background: Delayed gastric emptying is observed in end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Aims: Evaluation of gastric emptying after recommended fasting period and on oral administration of prokinetic in ESRD patients using ultrasonography (USG).

Settings And Design: Randomized, double-blind, prospective, controlled study.

Effect of Fentanyl and Nalbuphine for Prevention of Etomidate-Induced Myoclonus.

Background: Etomidate is a potent intravenous inducing agent with known undesirable side effects such as myoclonus and pain on injection in nonpremedicated patients.

Aims: The aim of this study is to compare the effect of fentanyl and nalbuphine in the prevention of etomidate-induced myoclonus.

Settings And Design: Randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, and prospective comparative study.
