Resilience of healthcare professionals involved in anesthesia practice: A cross-sectional questionnaire based pilot study.

Background And Aims: Resilience of healthcare professionals involved in Anesthesia practice is relatively a new area of research. Improvement of resilience is important for the sustainability of the healthcare workforce. The aim of this study was to evaluate resilience of the health care providers towards intra-operative emergency situation and intensive care unit.

Awareness of safety protocols for prevention of needle stick injuries in anaesthesiologists from Maharashtra: A survey study.

Background And Aim: Needle stick injury (NSI) has a serious risk of transmission of various blood borne pathogens amongst healthcare personnel and more so in anaesthesiologists. This survey assessed the prevalence of NSI and awareness of safety protocols for its prevention amongst the anaesthesiologists from Maharashtra, India.

Methods: This self-administered survey was completed by 403 anaesthesiologists across Maharashtra from August 2019 to October 2019.

Anesthesia Management in an Adult Patient with Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Difficult Intubation: A Case Report.

Obstructive sleep apnea may be associated with numerous comorbidities and perioperative complications. Poor laryngeal anatomy visualization can be a cause of failed tracheal intubation after multiple attempts in patients with sleep-disordered breathing due to the underlying adenoid enlargement. We present a case of difficult endotracheal intubation in a 52-year-old menopausal female patient posted for tonsillectomy with adenoid resection with a history of snoring and difficulty in breathing while asleep.

Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Clonidine and Tramadol for Control of Postspinal Anesthesia Shivering.

Background: Shivering is a common problem in patients undergoing surgery under spinal anesthesia.

Aims: The aim of this study was to compare efficacy and safety of clonidine versus tramadol in postspinal anesthesia shivering.

Settings And Design: This prospective, randomized, double-blind controlled clinical trial was conducted in a tertiary care setting.

ProSeal Laryngeal Mask Airway versus Cuffed Endotracheal Tube for Laparoscopic Surgical Procedures under General Anesthesia: A Random Comparative Study.

Context: The Proseal LMA(PLMA), which has been designed especially for positive pressure ventilation and protection against aspiration can act as an alternative to Endotracheal Tube (ETT) as an effective airway device for patients undergoing elective Laparoscopic surgeries.

Aims: To compare the efficacy and safety of PLMA with ETT in patients undergoing Laparoscopic surgeries under general anaesthesia.

Settings And Design: A prospective, randomized study was conducted in a tertiary care teaching hospital with 60 patients of ASA grade I/II undergoing elective Laparoscopic surgery under general anaesthesia.

Comparative Study of the Effect of Dexmedetomidine Vs. Fentanyl on Haemodynamic Response in Patients Undergoing Elective Laparoscopic Surgery.

Introduction: Dexmedetomidine and fentanyl, both have sedative and analgesic effects. They are often used as adjunct during anaesthesia to attenuate pressor response during tracheal intubation. Limited study has been done comparing the effect of both drugs on haemodynamic response in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.

Effect of buprenorphine as an adjunct with plain local anesthetic solution in supraclavicular brachial plexus block on quality and duration of postoperative analgesia.

Background And Aims: Supraclavicular brachial plexus block is ideal for upper limb surgical procedures. Buprenorphine, an agonist antagonist opioid has been used as an adjunct to prolong analgesia. We aimed to evaluate the quality and duration of postoperative analgesia by addition of buprenorphine to local anesthetic solution.

Caesarean section in a case of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease most frequently found in women of child bearing age and may co-exist with pregnancy. Disease exacerbation, increased foetal loss, neonatal lupus and an increased incidence of pre-eclampsia are the major challenges. Its multisystem involvement and therapeutic interventions like anticoagulants, steroids and immunosuppressive agents pose a high risk for both surgery and anaesthesia.
