Paracetamol Versus Ondansetron for Prevention of Postoperative Shivering in Liposuction Surgeries Under Combined General Epidural Anaesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: Postoperative shivering (POS) is considered one of the most common complications that is encountered by the anaesthetists worldwide. Despite using several treatment options, there has not been a clear consensus regarding this issue. This trial was conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of paracetamol and ondansetron in preventing POS in patients undergoing liposuction procedures under combined general epidural anaesthesia.

Safety of Radiofrequency Ablation of Thoracic T2 and T3 Sympathectomy in Palmar Hyperhidrosis: A Case Report.

Introduction: Hyperhidrosis is the maladjustment of excess sweating in specific parts of the body. Radiofrequency (RF) therapy has been successfully used to treat hyperhidrosis with a success rate of 85% - 95% in patients refractory to sympathectomy. The main hypothesis was the association between reduced palmar hyperhidrosis and radiofrequency RF therapy.

Effects of preincisional analgesia with surgical site infiltration of ketamine or levobupivacaine in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy under general anesthesia; A randomized double blind study.

Context: Postoperative pain management remains a cornerstone in patient's management to ensure a better quality of life. Preemptive analgesia is reported to inhibit the persistence of postoperative pain.

Aims: The aim of this study is to assess the analgesic effectiveness of preincisional infiltration of ketamine following elective abdominal hysterectomy as compared to levobupivacaine.

Comparison between ketamine and hyoscine for the management of postoperative catheter-related bladder discomfort: A randomized controlled double-blind study.

Background And Aim: Postoperative catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) can be a distressing complication for patients in whom a urinary catheter was inserted intraoperatively and is accompanied with patients' dissatisfaction. This trial investigated the efficacy of hyoscine and ketamine on treatment of postoperative CRBD in patients undergoing various surgeries.

Material And Methods: This was a prospective randomized, double-blind study, which included 60 American Society of Anesthesiologists Class I-II male patients undergoing elective nonurological operations requiring intraoperative urinary catheterization under general anesthesia after ethical approval and written informed consent.
