Effects of bilateral superficial cervical plexus block on sevoflurane consumption during thyroid surgery under entropy-guided general anesthesia: a prospective randomized study.

Background: Bilateral superficial cervical plexus block (BSCPB) provides good postoperative analgesia, but its effect on anesthetic consumption is unknown. This study evaluated the effects of BSCPB on sevoflurane consumption during thyroid surgery.

Methods: Fifty patients were randomly allocated into groups A and B of 25 each in this prospective double-blind study.

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.

Comparison of ventilatory efficacy and airway dynamics between ProSeal laryngeal mask airway and endotracheal tube in adult patients during general anesthesia.

Background And Aims: Studies have demonstrated minimal hemodynamic variation and postoperative complications with ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA) compared to endotracheal tube (ETT). Hence, a study was conducted to compare the ventilatory parameters and airway dynamics required to maintain normocarbia and stable hemodynamics with PLMA and ETT.

Material And Methods: A prospective, randomized, single blinded study was conducted on 60 patients aged 20-40 years of American society of anesthesiologists class I and II, divided into Group PLMA and Group ETT.
