A Rare and Life-Threatening Complication of Salmonella Typhi Infection: A Case Report From India Highlighting Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges in Salmonella Sepsis.

Salmonella infections are widely known to cause gastroenteritis, especially in areas of poor hygiene and sanitation. Common symptoms include sustained fever, chills, and abdominal pain. Sepsis, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), various neurological manifestations, and multiorgan failure are other uncommon presentations.

A Randomised Control Study Comparing Ultrasonography with Standard Clinical Methods in Assessing Endotracheal Tube Tip Positioning.

Introduction: Airway ultrasound has been increasingly used in correct positioning of endotracheal tube. We hypothesize that a safe distance between endotracheal tube tip and carina can be achieved with the aid of ultrasound.

Aim Of The Study: Our primary objective was to determine whether ultrasound guided visualisation of proximal end of endotracheal tube cuff is better when compared to conventional method in optimal positioning of tube tip.

A prospective observational study to identify the effectiveness of intravenous magnesium replacement in an intensive care setting.

Background And Aims: To estimate the incidence of hypomagnesemia and identify the effectiveness of a calculated dose of intravenous magnesium sulfate (MgSO) in correction of hypomagnesemia and its relationship with renal function in critically ill patients.

Material And Methods: All patients admitted in the adult intensive care unit were enrolled in the study and magnesium levels were monitored. Patients with serum magnesium levels <1.

Efficacy of Baska mask and Laryngeal mask airway supreme during positive pressure ventilation - A comparative study.

Background And Aims: Supraglottic airway devices have several roles including maintenance of a clear upper airway during general anesthesia. We primarily compared the efficacy of Baska mask (BM) and laryngeal mask airway supreme (LMAS) for the rate of first time successful placement and the seal pressure. The secondary outcome measures included laryngopharyngeal morbidity and the correct positioning of the gastric port.

Reliability of Ultrasonography in Confirming Endotracheal Tube Placement in an Emergency Setting.

Background And Objectives: Over the past few years, ultrasonography is increasingly being used to confirm the correct placement of endotracheal tube (ETT). In our study, we aimed to compare it with the traditional clinical methods and the gold standard quantitative waveform capnography. Two primary outcomes were measured in our study.

Selection of appropriate size endotracheal tube in cases of large goiters causing tracheal compression.

Tracheal compression due to any cause can lead to difficulty in either ventilating or intubating the patient. Most often, it is due to a large thyroid swelling. Often the anesthetist is completely guided by the radiological findings to plan the airway management, giving much less importance to the patient's clinical picture.

Can bilateral bronchospasm be a sign of unilateral phrenic nerve palsy after supraclavicular brachial plexus block?

Ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks facilitate ambulatory anesthesia for upper limb surgeries. Unilateral phrenic nerve blockade is a common complication after interscalene brachial plexus block, rather than the supraclavicular block. We report a case of severe respiratory distress and bilateral bronchospasm following ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block.

Unilateral pulmonary edema after laparoscopic nephrectomy.

Unilateral-dependent pulmonary edema though reported in laparoscopic donor nephrectomies, has not been reported after laparoscopic non-donor nephrectomies. A 75-kg, 61-year-old man, a diagnosed case of right renal cell carcinoma was scheduled for laparoscopic nephrectomy. After establishing general anesthesia, the patient was positioned in the left-sided modified kidney (flank) position.
