A Randomized Controlled Trial to Compare the Efficacy of Single versus Triple Injection Technique for Ultrasound-Guided Infraclavicular Block in Upper Limb Surgeries.

Introduction: The ultrasound-guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block by triple-point injection method was aimed at blocking the three individual cords in the infraclavicular region. Recently, a single-point injection method which does not require visualization of cords to produce nerve block has been introduced. This study compared the block onset time, performance time, patient's satisfaction, and complications between the ultrasound guided triple-point injection and single-point injection methods.

PolyEffNetV1: A CNN based colorectal polyp detection in colonoscopy images.

Presence of polyps is the root cause of colorectal cancer, hence identification of such polyps at an early stage can help in advance treatments to avoid complications to the patient. Since there are variations in the size and shape of polyps, the task of detecting them in colonoscopy images becomes challenging. Hence our work is to leverage an algorithm for segmentation and classification of the polyp of colonoscopy images using Deep learning algorithms.

A randomized control study to assess the efficacy of the sphenopalatine ganglion block in patients with post dural puncture headache.

Background: Post dural puncture headache (PDPH) delays discharge from hospital. We studied the efficacy of sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) block, a novel technique in management of PDPH using 0.25% Ropivacaine.

Role of diaphragm ultrasound in weaning mechanically ventilated patients: A prospective observational study.

Background And Aims: Weaning from mechanical ventilation based on clinical parameters and rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) is associated with a higher weaning failure. Bedside ultrasound of the diaphragm is gaining popularity to assess the diaphragm function. The aim of our study was to determine the use of diaphragm ultrasound in weaning ventilated patients.

Evaluation of Analgesic Efficacy of Ultrasound-Guided Adductor Canal Block With 20 mL of 0.5% Ropivacaine in Patients Undergoing Knee Surgeries-A Randomized Control Trial.

Background: Adductor canal block (ACB) is a motor sparing block providing analgesia for surgeries involving anterior part of the knee. The aim of our study was to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of ACB to reduce pain in arthroscopic knee surgeries done under spinal anesthesia. Our primary objective was to evaluate the 24 hours postoperative morphine consumption.

Cricoarytenoid subluxation presenting as vocal cord palsy following endotracheal intubation - A case report.

Airway interventions commonly present with self-limiting throat pain and hoarseness of voice. Persistent hoarseness is rare and should be evaluated for serious complications. Cricoarytenoid injuries may present as vocal cord palsies which need careful evaluation.

Differential bacterial endophytome in Foc-resistant banana cultivar displays enhanced antagonistic activity against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (Foc).

Diverse endophytes with multiple functions exist in different banana cultivars. However, the diversity of cultivable bacterial endophytome that contributes to antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.

Comparison of Ultrasound-Guided Modified BRILMA Block with Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy - A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background And Aims: Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block is the standard practice for postoperative analgesia following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of modified BRILMA Block (blocking the BRanches of Intercostal nerves at the Level of Mid-Axillary line) with Subcostal TAP block for pain relief following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Methods: Sixty cases scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided into two groups: modified BRILMA block (Group B) and Subcostal TAP block (Group T).

Comparison of laparoscopy-guided with ultrasound-guided subcostal transversus abdominis plane block in laparoscopic cholecystectomy - A prospective, randomised study.

Background And Aims: Subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is usually done under ultrasound guidance in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic-guided subcostal TAP block is an alternate technique where ultrasound is not available. Our primary objective was to compare the success rate of ultrasound and laparoscopic approaches to the subcostal TAP block.

Evaluation of ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block for post-operative analgesia in unilateral laparoscopic renal surgeries - A randomised controlled trial.

Background And Aims: Quadratus lumborum block (QLB) is a novel anaesthetic technique for abdominal wall block providing excellent post-operative analgesia. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the duration of post-operative analgesia with QLB in unilateral laparoscopic renal surgeries. The secondary objectives were to assess total morphine consumption during the first 24 h postoperatively and observe for complications.

[Efficacy of different doses and timing of tranexamic acid in major orthopedic surgeries: a randomized trial].

Background: Tranexamic acid was studied in four different dosage regimens and their efficacy was compared for perioperative blood loss reduction, blood transfusion requirements and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) complication.

Methods: Two hundred patients undergoing major orthopedic procedures were divided into five groups containing 40 patients each: Placebo, low dose (bolus 10 mg kg), low dose + maintenance (bolus 10 mg kg + maintenance 1 mg kg hr), high dose (bolus 30 mg kg) and high dose + maintenance (bolus 30 mg kg + maintenance 3 mg kg hr). Surgical blood loss was measured intraoperatively and drains collection in the first 24 hours postoperatively.

Evaluation of Efficacy of Epidural Clonidine with 0.5% Bupivacaine for Postoperative Analgesia for Orthopaedic Lower Limb Surgeries.

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of epidural clonidine in intra and postoperative analgesia, the level of sedation caused by clonidine and monitor its side effects.

Materials And Methods: Forty patients of ASA1 & ASA2 scheduled for lower limb orthopaediac surgeries were chosen for the study. Study group received 50μg of clonidine diluted to 1ml along with first dose of epidural injection and Control group received 1ml of normal saline along with first dose of epidural.
