Background: Neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) encompass a large group of genetic and acquired diseases affecting muscles, leading to progressive muscular weakness. These disorders are frequently inherited in an autosomal-recessive (AR) pattern with extreme heterogeneity and various clinical presentations. Consanguinity increases the likelihood of AR disorders, with high rates of cousin inbreeding in Jordan and other Arab countries.

Objectives: To compare sedoanalgesia achieved using propofol-fentanyl-ketamine (PFK) combination with general anesthesia (GA) in terms of safety, hemodynamic stability, and perioperative complications.

Methods: Patients in the GA group were anesthetized using fentanyl (2 μg kg-1) and propofol (2 mg kg-1). The PFK group was anesthetized using a mixture of which each one ml contains 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Spinal anaesthesia is the primary method for elective caesarean sections, and recent studies suggest that the 5-HT3 antagonist ondansetron may help manage hypotension caused by spinal blocks, but there's no agreed optimal dose or timing.
  • A clinical trial divided patients into three groups (4 mg ondansetron, 6 mg ondansetron, and a control with saline) to assess the impact of ondansetron on blood pressure and vasopressor use before spinal anaesthesia.
  • Results showed no significant differences in blood pressure or hypotension incidents among groups; however, the control group required more ephedrine, indicating ondansetron may be beneficial in reducing vasopressor needs, but

Elderly patients constitute a large segment of healthcare receivers. Considering the functional deterioration of multiple organ systems with aging, achieving a safe perioperative approach is challenging. Our aim is to study the safety and effectiveness of a genuinely regimented co-induction technique in order to minimize anesthesia-related complications.
