Background And Aims: Systemic lignocaine has been shown to have sedative effects. We designed this randomised-double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effect of intravenous lignocaine on the bispectral index (BIS) during caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia.
Methods: 80 patients scheduled for elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia were randomly allocated to 2 study groups.
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the analgesic efficacy of dexamethasone versus dexmedetomidine added to lidocaine using infraclavicular block in patients undergoing forearm fracture surgery.
Method: Seventy-five patients aged 20 to 60 years were recruited for a prospective, double-blinded, randomized clinical trial. Ultrasound-guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block was performed in 3 groups by injecting 28 mL lidocaine plus 2 mL distilled water (Lido), 28 mL lidocaine plus 2 mL (8 mg) dexamethasone (Dexa), and 28 mL lidocaine plus 2 mL (1 µg/kg) dexmedetomidine (Dexm).
Background: Several additives have been suggested to enhance analgesic effect of local anesthetic agents to decrease the adverse effects of them and increase the degree of satisfaction. We designed this randomized double-blind controlled study to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of the neostigmine added to bupivacaine using spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing lower limb orthopedic surgery.
Methods: Sixty patients 18-80 yr old American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I or II, scheduled for femur surgery under spinal anesthesia, were recruited in a prospective, double-blinded, randomized way.
Background: One of the most important therapeutic maneuvers in head injury patients is to maintain Intracranial Pressure (ICP) and Cerebral Perfusion Pressure (CPP) within normal levels.
Aims: To compare the effects of low dose of thiopental sodium and propofol on reducing ICP and CPP in patients with head injury that scheduled for neurosurgical interventions.
Settings And Design: Using a randomized, crossover pilot study, we enrolled patients with head injury that scheduled for neurosurgical interventions admitted to ICU unit of a teaching hospital during 2010 to 2011.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the applicability of Cobra perilaryngeal airway (Cobra PLA™) for obese patients under general anesthesia and also to compare the results with those of classic laryngeal mask airway (LMA™).
Materials And Methods: Seventy-three overweight and obese patients were included in this study. The patients were randomly assigned to LMA™ or Cobra PLA™ groups.
Background: Recovery after anesthesia and surgery is a complex process and depends on many factors such as patient, anesthesia and surgery conditions as well pre-existing comorbidities.
Objectives: The aims of this study were to translate the 40-item quality of recovery score (QoR-40) into Persian and evaluate its psychometric properties in Iranian patients.
Patients And Methods: We enrolled patients candidate for elective general surgery undergoing general anesthesia from July 2013 to December 2013 at Shahid Rajaee Hospital, Qazvin, Iran.
Background: Tracheostomy facilitates respiratory care and the process of weaning from mechanical ventilatory support.
Aims: To compare the complications found in percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) and surgical tracheostomy (ST) techniques.
Methods: This was a prospective randomized study to evaluate the complications of PDT and ST procedures in patients admitted to ICU unit of a teaching hospital during 2008 to 2011.
Aim. Regional analgesia has been introduced as better analgesic technique compared to using systemic analgesic agents, and it may decrease the adverse effects of them and increase the degree of satisfaction. Several additives have been suggested to enhance analgesic effect of local anesthetic agents such as opioids and steroids.
