Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of intravenous dexmedetomidine versus a combination of low-dose ketamine and dexmedetomidine for extending spinal anesthesia in lower limb orthopedic surgeries.
- Conducted on 60 patients, the study divided them into two groups: one receiving only dexmedetomidine (Group D) and the other receiving a mix of ketamine and dexmedetomidine (Group LKD).
- Results showed similar anesthesia duration between groups, but Group D experienced more hypotension episodes, while Group LKD required less tramadol post-surgery.
Background: N95 filtering facepiece respirators (FFR) are used by health care workers for prevention of airborne infection, and its use has increased manifolds during COVID-19 pandemic. Prolonged use may result in carbon dioxide (CO) accumulation, affect hemodynamics, and blood gas values. Although arterial blood gas values accurately measure the blood CO levels, venous blood gas values also show acceptable correlation.

Primary objective of this study was to determine the correlation of dIVCmax and IVCCI, with GAAH. Other objectives were to determine the correlation of these IVC parameters with preoperative fasting duration, temperature and humidity.
