Objective: The objective of our study is to compare the success rate, duration, and incidence of complications of a right internal jugular vein (IJV) cannulation by using three different techniques.
Methodology: A randomised controlled trial was conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital. A total of 201 patients were randomly allocated to one of the following three groups (67 in each group).
Background The advent of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has reduced respiratory events in comparison to the conventional endotracheal tubes. Any manipulation under a light plane of anesthesia predisposes to increased airway sensitivity followed by adverse events. The reduced airway sensitivity in the deeply anesthetized state makes LMA removal feasible.

- The study focuses on the preoperative stress experienced by pediatric patients undergoing surgery and the importance of using premedication to alleviate this stress.
- Conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital, the research analyzed medical records of 125 pediatric patients, revealing that 40% did not receive prescribed premedication, despite the majority documenting drug details correctly.
- Key issues identified include inadequate prescription practices by anesthetists and a lack of documentation regarding the route and timing of medication administration, signaling a need for improvement in preoperative care.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how accurately the Upper lip bite test and Mallampati test can predict difficult endotracheal intubation in adults undergoing elective surgeries.
- Conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital, the study involved 324 patients, and data were analyzed using statistical methods to compare the effectiveness of both tests.
- Results indicated that the Upper lip bite test was more accurate and provided better predictive values than the Mallampati test, suggesting it could be a reliable standalone test for predicting difficult intubation.
We are presenting a case of a 26 year old healthy male, who came with gradual worsening of dyspnoea following prolonged intubation and ventilation, after a road traffic accident five months back. On arrival in ER, he was hypoxaemic with severe respiratory distress. He was transferred to the operation room (OR) for emergency tracheostomy.

Methods: A randomized double blind study of eighty ASA 1 and ASA II patients, age 18-50 years for elective surgery requiring endotracheal intubation was conducted. Forty patients were selected for each group, M (morphine) and T (tramadol).
