Inhalational Induction: A Safe Anaesthetic Management in a Patient with Crouzon Syndrome.

Crouzon syndrome is a rare genetic disorder involving craniofacial skeleton development. It's characterized by a triad of cranial deformities: premature craniosynostosis, facial anomalies (mid-facial hypoplasia), and exophthalmia. The anaesthetic management challenges include the presence of a difficult airway, history of obstructive sleep apnea, congenital cardiac disorders, hypothermia, blood loss, and venous air embolism.

Comparison of Preoperative Nebulization with 4% Lignocaine and Ketamine in Reduction of Incidence of Postoperative Sore Throat.

Background: Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common occurrence following general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation although clinicians often regard it as a minor complication. The incidence of POST is estimated to be 21%-65% in different studies. The administration of the drug through aerosol route gained popularity among anesthesiologists with good acceptance from the patients.
