Background: Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion requires an optimal balance of anesthesia. Propofol with different opioids is a preferred combination. Two doses of fentanyl were compared for the efficacy and side effects.
Materials And Methods: 96 patients were randomly distributed into F(1) (fentanyl 1 mcg/kg) and F(2) (fentanyl 2 mcg/kg) groups. The conditions for LMA insertion, hemodynamic profile, bronchoscopic view, and incidence of sore throat were compared.
Result: There was no statistically significant difference in any parameter in the two groups except for a significant fall in systolic and mean arterial pressure in F(2) group.
Conclusion: Both doses of fentanyl (1 and 2 mcg/kg) provide comparable insertion conditions for LMA. Fentanyl in the lower dose provides a more stable hemodynamic profile.

Blind supratemporal retrobulbar block in cats: a feasibility cadaveric study and its efficacy in a group of subjects undergoing corneal or intraocular surgery.
Front Vet Sci
November 2024
Department of Veterinary Science, University of Turin, Turin, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the supratemporal retrobulbar block as an anesthetic technique in cats, addressing its effectiveness and injection methods.
- A modified injection of a specific mixture was performed on cadavers, showing a high success rate in contrast agent spread and good distribution around the optic nerve.
- In a clinical setting with 12 cats, the retrobulbar group experienced fewer anesthetist interventions compared to the control group, indicating a potential advantage of the supratemporal approach for surgeries.

Background and aim While the infiltration of surgical incisions with local anesthetics is not a new practice, it remains a crucial component of contemporary multimodal analgesia protocols. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using adjuvants in combination with local anesthetic wound infiltration for pain management in patients undergoing mastectomy surgery. Methods Eighty-one patients aged 18-60 years, classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade I or II, were scheduled for unilateral mastectomy and randomly assigned to three groups of 27 each.

Background: Ketamine and fentanyl are commonly used for sedation and induction of anesthesia in critically ill patients. This study aimed to compare the hemodynamic effects of ketamine versus fentanyl bolus in patients with septic shock.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial included mechanically ventilated adults with septic shock receiving sedation.
Comparison of the Magnesium Sulphate With Paracetamol Combination vs the Fentanyl With Lignocaine Combination in Attenuating the Hemodynamic Response During Laryngoscopy and Intubation: A Prospective, Double-Blinded Randomized Controlled Study.

Background and aims Laryngoscopy and intubation cause an increased sympatho-adrenergic pressor response, which can be detrimental to patients with coronary artery disease, hypertension, etc. Various drugs and manoeuvres have been tried to reduce the pressor response with acceptable results but the quest for the ideal drug still continues. Hence, we planned to compare the effects of magnesium sulfate with paracetamol and fentanyl with lignocaine on attenuating the hemodynamic responses due to direct laryngoscopy and intubation and to note the complications of these drugs.

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a constant rate infusion of dexmedetomidine could prolong the analgesic effect of peripheral nerve blocks. Twenty client-owned dogs were enrolled and randomly divided into 2 groups. The DEX group received dexmedetomidine infusion at 1 mcg kg h, and the NaCl group received an equivalent volume infusion of saline.
