Comparative Evaluation of Sevoflurane, Propofol, and Combination of Sevoflurane and Propofol on Insertion Characteristics of Reusable Classic Laryngeal Mask Airway.

Background And Aim: Adequate depth of anaesthesia is needed for successful placement LMA. under lighter plane of anaesthesia inadequate mouth opening,coughing,body movements can lead to rejection of LMA and may be associated with breath holding and bronchospasm. Use of propofol in doses which allow adequqate jaw relaxation and prevent patient reaction to LMA commonly results in hypotension and prolonged apnoea.

A double-blind study on analgesic effects of fentanyl combined with bupivacaine for extradural labor analgesia.

Background: The intermittent technique of labor extradural analgesia has been showing promising results over other techniques. This study was done to assess and compare the efficacy of two different doses of fentanyl mixed with low doses of bupivacaine in intermittent labor extradural analgesia.

Materials And Methods: 90 ASA grade I-II parturients in active labor with a cervical dilatation of 3-7 cm were randomly allocated to three different groups: Group A: 10 ml bupivacaine 0.
