A Preliminary Feasibility Study on Hemodynamic Changes Following Feyh-Kastenbauer Retractor Insertion During Transoral Robotic Surgeries.

 Introduction Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has become increasingly popular for the removal of pharyngeal and laryngeal cancers with the objective to improve functional and aesthetic outcomes. Feyh-Kastenbauer (FK) retractor is one such routinely used retractor during TORS. The setting up of this retractor has been seen to be accompanied by hemodynamic fluctuations.

Management of a Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia 1 Patient in Pregnancy.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndrome has rarely been reported during pregnancy. The multiple manifestations of the syndrome along with the normal body changes associated with pregnancy can prove to be difficult to manage. We describe our experience of the diagnosis and management of MEN1 syndrome in a pregnant female.

Utility of Point-of-Care Ultrasonography in Diagnosing Submassive Pulmonary Thromboembolism in a Trauma Patient and Subsequent Anesthetic Management: Case Report and Literature Review.

Point-of-care ultrasonography is defined as ultrasonography brought to the patient's bedside and performed by the provider in real time. The clinician can use these real-time dynamic images immediately (rather than images recorded by a sonographer and interpreted later), allowing findings to be directly correlated with the patient's presenting signs and symptoms. Point-of-care ultrasonography is easily repeatable if the patient's condition changes.

Extended duration pulsed radiofrequency for the management of refractory meralgia paresthetica: a series of five cases.

Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is a sensory mononeuropathy, caused by compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) of thigh. Patients refractory to conservative management are treated with various interventional procedures. We report the first use of extended duration (8 minutes) pulsed radiofrequency of the LFCN in a case series of five patients with refractory MP.

Tramadol sparing effect of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant with lignocaine in preoperative stellate ganglion block for postoperative pain relief following upper limb surgeries.

Background: Recent literature has established the role of stellate ganglion block (SGB) for management of acute postoperative pain. The effects of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to lignocaine in a preoperative SGB for postoperative pain relief have not been evaluated so far.

Methods: The following randomised, double-blinded, control trail included 54 patients scheduled for upper limb orthopaedic surgery under general anaesthesia.
