Article Synopsis
- Shivering is a common issue for patients under spinal anesthesia, particularly during cesarean sections, and the study investigates if phenylephrine could minimize shivering and hypothermia in this scenario.* -
- In a double-blind trial, 75 pregnant patients received phenylephrine while another 75 received a placebo, with results showing a lower incidence of shivering (24% vs. 53%) and a higher core temperature in the phenylephrine group.* -
- Ultimately, the findings indicate that prophylactic phenylephrine infusion significantly reduces both shivering and hypothermia during cesarean sections, though it may increase the chances of bradycardia compared to the placebo.*
Comparison of conventional C-MAC video laryngoscope guided intubation by anesthesia trainees with and without Frova endotracheal introducer: A randomized clinical trial.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated whether using a Frova introducer with a C-MAC video laryngoscope would shorten the intubation time for trainee anesthesiologists compared to standard methods.
- A total of 140 adult participants were randomly split into two groups: one used the Frova introducer while the other did not, focusing on key outcomes like intubation time and success rate.
- Results showed that intubation with the Frova introducer took a bit longer but significantly reduced the need for external laryngeal maneuvers, though the overall success and redirection rates remained similar between the groups.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates and compares the effectiveness of two pain relief methods—continuous bilateral Transversus Abdominal Plane (TAP) block and lumbar epidural analgesia (EA)—for postoperative pain management in abdominal surgeries.
- Conducted as a randomized, single-blind trial, 75 patients were assigned to receive either TAP block or EA, with pain levels measured through Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores and other criteria over a 24-hour period.
- Results showed similar pain relief, morphine consumption, and patient satisfaction between both groups, concluding that TAP block is as effective as epidural infusion for managing postoperative pain in lower abdominal surgeries.
Background And Aims: While ephedrine was the preferred drug for treating spinal-induced hypotension in pregnancy, its use has declined because of resultant fetal acidosis. The objective of this randomized control trial was to compare the effects of a slow and rapid bolus of ephedrine on fetal acidosis, maternal blood pressure, and heart rate (HR) during cesarean section performed under spinal anesthesia.
Material And Methods: Eighty full-term parturients scheduled for cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were randomly allocated into two groups.
Background And Aims: The difficulty during flexible fiber-optic bronchoscopy (FOB) guided tracheal intubation could be because of inability in visualising glottis, advancing and railroading of endotracheal tube. Several methods are available for visualising glottis, but none is ideal. Hence, this randomised controlled study was designed to evaluate the simple pre-determined length insertion technique (SPLIT) during oral FOB.

- The study investigated the effect of different regimens of intravenous dexmedetomidine on extending the duration of subarachnoid block (SAB) in surgical patients.
- Ninety-three patients were divided into three groups: one received a bolus, another received a continuous infusion, and the last received both to determine which method was most effective.
- Results indicated that continuous infusion provided more benefits in prolonging analgesia and sedation, leading to the recommendation of using only the maintenance dose of dexmedetomidine after SAB.
