Conservative Surgical Management of a Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst in an Adolescent Having Extra-pulmonary Lesions by a Multi-disciplinary Approach.

causes hydatid cysts, a significant zoonotic and pulmonary parasitic disease that can mimic various pathologies and is often harder to manage than the disease itself. A hydatid cyst is considered a significant health problem in India, Iran, China, and Mediterranean countries, which lack satisfactory environmental health, preventive medicine, and veterinarian services. Echinococcosis continues to be a major community health burden in several countries, and in some terrains, it constitutes an emerging and re-emerging disease.

Single-point versus double-point injection technique of ultrasound-guided supraclavicular block: A randomized controlled study.

Background And Aims: This study aims to compare the single-point injection and double-point injection technique of ultrasound-guided supraclavicular block with regard to the success rate, time taken to perform the procedure, onset and duration of sensory and motor block, and complications.

Material And Methods: A total of 60 American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and II patients between 20 and 50 years of age, with body mass index ≤30 kg/m posted for forearm surgeries, with anticipated surgical duration more than 1 h were randomly divided into two groups: group S (single-point injection) and group D (double-point injection technique). After locating the brachial plexus with ultrasound, needle was inserted from lateral to medial direction to reach the plexus.

Efficacy of intrathecal midazolam in potentiating the analgesic effect of intrathecal fentanyl in patients undergoing lower limb surgery.

Introduction: The intrathecal administration of combination of drugs has a synergistic effect on the subarachnoid block characteristics. This study was designed to study the efficacy of intrathecal midazolam in potentiating the analgesic duration of fentanyl along with prolonged sensorimotor blockade.

Materials And Methods: In a double-blind study design, 75 adult patients were randomly divided into three groups: Group B, 3 ml of 0.
