Background: For General anaesthesia perioperative administration of opioids are choice of drugs to attenuate intubation response and to provide good intraoperative and postoperative analgesia. Mixed agonist-antagonist opioids produces powerful analgesia without undesirable side effects.
Aim: Aim of present study to compare efficacy of Nalbuphine and Pentazocine on hemodynamic response to tracheal intubation and postoperative analgesia.
Context: Caudal block is one of the most common regional anesthetic techniques employed in pediatric urogenital surgeries. Adjuvants play an important role to improve postoperative analgesia.
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of dexamethasone when given systemically as against caudally as an adjuvant to caudal block.
Background: Dexmedetomidine a new drug, which is alpha-two agonist, is recommended by manufacturers as an adjuvant in epidural analgesia and anesthesia.
Aims: To study the effects of dexmedetomidine on quality and efficacy of the epidural bupivacaine 0.5% for vaginal hysterectomies, by studying the onset of action, duration of action, highest dermatomal level achieved, degree of motor blockade, intraoperative and postoperative anesthesia and analgesia achieved.
Background: Epidural infusion of 0.2% ropivacaine is recommended by the manufacturers for labor analgesia.
Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy, degree of motor blockade, obstetric outcome in the form of incidence of normal vaginal, assisted vaginal and lower segment cesarean section.
