Background: Cardiovascular effects for drugs such as hyoscine butylbromide are poorly documented in the literature, unlike atropine, which is considered the antimuscarinic of choice in the presence of intraoperative bradycardia.

Aim: The aim of the study was to describe the dose-related cardiovascular effect of hyoscine butylbromide in patients between 18 and 65 years of age, with low perioperative risk undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia on an outpatient basis or hospitalised at our institution between 1 January and 31 May 2019.

Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective study; 28 patients with low perioperative risk who underwent general anaesthesia were selected. Changes in heart rate and blood pressure were analysed during the first 6 minutes after the administration of hyoscine butylbromide. The data obtained was recorded in a Microsoft Excel database and analysed using the Excel analysis tool and IBM SPSS.

Results: The average dose of 0.15mg/kg of hyoscine butylbromide achieved an increase in heart rate and mean arterial pressure in 96% and 92.8%, respectively, in the first 6 minutes after the administration. Significant changes in heart rate and blood pressure were obtained during the first 6 minutes at doses between 0.05mg/kg and 0.15mg/kg.

Conclusion: Hyoscine butylbromide generates positive effects on the heart rate and blood pressure of patients under general anaesthesia, representing a possible alternative in the management of intraoperative bradycardia.

Background/aim: Hyoscine-N-butylbromide (HBB) is an anticholinergic agent widely used to treat pain caused by spasms in the gastrointestinal and urogenital systems. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of HBB with a placebo in treating abdominal cramping pain caused by acute gastroenteritis in the emergency department (ED).

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial conducted in a single-center academic ED from September to November 2021.

Background: Evidence based guidelines for treatment of physical symptoms during the last days of life in older people are not available.

Aim: We wanted to synthesize the existing evidence on the pharmacological treatment of pain, dyspnea, death rattle, fever, nausea, and vomiting during the last days of life in older people to develop recommendations that can help guide clinical practice.

Design: A systematic review was conducted (PROSPERO #CRD42023406100) and reported in accordance with PRISMA guidelines.

Introduction: Drotaverine, paracetamol, and peppermint oil are often prescribed for the treatment of gastrointestinal spasm and pain. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of these drugs alone and combined with the well-known antispasmodic hyoscine butylbromide on the human colon.

Methods: Colon samples were obtained from macroscopically normal regions of 68 patients undergoing surgery and studied in muscle bath.

Introduction: To investigate the in vitro effect of diclofenac on tubal smooth muscle as an alternative to hyoscine-N-butyl bromide, which is used for premedication before hysterosalpingography (HSG).

Material And Methods: Fallopian tubes were retrieved from seven healthy women after bilateral tubal ligation and in vitro contractility and histological studies were conducted using tissue bath and immunohistochemistry.

Results: Diclofenac sodium and hyoscine-N-butyl bromide did not significantly change the basal mean tension; however, they decreased the contractions induced by potassium chloride (KCl).
