Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) for the assessment of volume status and fluid management in patients with severe pre-eclampsia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background And Aims: Appropriate volume assessment and fluid management can prevent maternal deaths in the severely pre-eclamptic (SPE) parturients. We planned a systematic review and meta-analysis (MA) to evaluate the role and ability of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in the assessment of volume status and early detection of lung oedema in an SPE parturient.

Methods: An e-literature search was done from several databases.

Ultrasonographic Estimation of Endotracheal Tube Size in Paediatric Patients and its Comparison with Physical Indices Based Formulae: A Prospective Study.

Introduction: Choosing the correct Endotracheal Tube (ETT) size is important in paediatric anaesthesia. The subglottic diameter being the narrowest diameter of the paediatric upper airway plays an important role in appropriate ETT size selection.

Aim: This study was planned to determine the accuracy of Ultrasonography (USG) to assess the appropriate ETT size and compare it with physical indices based formulae.

Current views and practice of faculty members and consultants regarding 'Publications in India': A cross-sectional study.

Background And Aims: There is an increasing enthusiasm and pressure to submit scientific articles to journals for publication due to official policies. This has led to increased stress on authors and editors and in issues like plagiarism. We planned a cross-sectional study with an aim to explore the current publication related views and practice of faculty members and consultants.
