Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of EMLA cream and vapocoolant spray for reducing pain during intravenous cannulation in 140 patients.
- Results indicated that the vapocoolant spray significantly reduced pain scores and was more cost-effective than EMLA cream, with noticeable differences in heart rate and movement during the procedure but no other hemodynamic changes.
- The conclusion suggested that vapocoolant spray is a more efficient option, particularly in emergency situations, compared to EMLA cream for IV cannulation.
Background: Direct laryngoscopy is the standard method for intubation in pediatric patients. The introduction of video laryngoscopy brought a paradigm shift in managing pediatric airways.
Objectives: We compared the tracheal intubation technique between direct and video laryngoscopy with McIntosh Blade 2 in pediatric patients 2 - 8 years of age requiring airway management.
Objective: Administration of warm intravenous (IV) fluid infusion and use of forced air warmers is the most easy and physiologically viable method for maintaining normothermia during surgery and postsurgical periods This study was conducted to assess the effect of combination of active warming (AW) methods namely warm IV fluid infusion and forced air warming versus forced air warming only (WA) on maternal temperature during elective C-delivery under spinal anesthesia.
Materials And Methods: A total of 100 patients scheduled for elective c-section were grouped into those who received both warmed IV fluid infusion and forced air warmer (Combination of active warming WI= 50) and those who received only forced air warmer (WA = 50). Core body temperature and shivering incidence were recorded using a tympanic thermometer from prespinal till the end of surgery every 10 min and in postanesthesia care unit (PACU) at 0, 15, and 30 min.
A 7-year-old girl presented to the emergency room (ER) with alleged history of aspiration of a toy magnet. The challenge was to safely extract the foreign body. A bronchoscopic approach with forceps, or Dormia basket, or Fogarty catheter, was considered, but these approaches had disadvantages, such as slipping or impaction of the object, and oxygen desaturation.
