Context: The context of the study is to compare and find better muscle relaxant between rocuronium and vecuronium for intubation and maintenance under general anesthesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Aims: The aim of the study is to measure intubating condition, hemodynamic changes during intubation and also during maintenance of general anesthesia and to record complications, if any.
Settings And Design: A prospective clinical study conducted in the Department of Anesthesiology in tertiary care center.
Background And Aim: Intra/post-operative shivering is frequently observed in parturients posted for elective cesarean delivery (C/D) under spinal anaesthesia. Several studies have advocated the anti-shivering effect of 5-HT antagonists, although none has revealed convincing results. The study aims to evaluate the prophylactic effect of a single intravenous dose of ramosetron (0.

Aim And Objectives: The current study is to evaluate and compare the effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine in controlling hemodynamic response during tracheal intubation in geriatric patients.
Materials And Methods: After getting approval from the Ethical Committee, 90 patients of the American Society of Anesthesiologist Physical Status Classes I and II, aged ≥60 years, were randomly assigned into three groups: Group I (normal saline, = 30), Group II - dexmedetomidine (0.
