To manage referrals to the pre-anesthetic consultation during the COVID-19 pandemic, a screening questionnaire was created and sent to parturients with anesthetic risk during the pre-anesthetic consultation. This innovative approach enabled the redistribution of medical anesthetic resources in units that were heavily affected by the pandemic.

Purpose: The decision to do a total hip arthroplasty (THA) or a hemiarthroplasty (HA) in an elderly with a fracture neck of femur (FNOF) is commonly based upon the surgeon's preference, pre-anesthetic fitness, hospital setup, and intensive care backup. The author devised a Sharma's risk assessment score (SRAS), based upon all the common factors that affect the surgical outcomes following FNOF in the elderly, to help orthopedic surgeons decide between THA or HA as a treatment for FNOF.
Material & Methods: It was a prospective observational study conducted in a tertiary-level institute.

Introduction Laboratory testing is done before surgery to identify body abnormalities that cannot be detected through clinical evaluation alone. Patients going in for low- or intermediate-risk surgeries are often encouraged to undergo a battery of tests as usual. This cross-sectional observational study evaluated the status of routine pre-operative laboratory tests in American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) Grade I, II, and III adults undergoing elective surgery at a maternity hospital, as well as the impact of these tests on the outcome of the pre-anaesthetic check-up (PAC).

Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA), a rare inherited neurodegenerative disease, presents distinctive complexities in obstetrical anesthesia. Available research about FRDA in obstetrics is extremely limited. In this report, the anesthetic management of a 40-year-old primigravida with FRDA undergoing cesarean delivery is presented.

Background: Airway management of patients with long-standing diabetes poses a major challenge for anaesthesiologists due to stiff joint syndrome affecting the atlanto-occipital joint. In certain cases requiring immobilization, the Mallampati test must often be performed in the supine position for obvious reasons.
Objectives: Hence, we determined the diagnostic precision (sensitivity and specificity) of the modified Mallampati test in sitting and supine positions among the diabetic population in predicting difficult tracheal intubation.

Background And Aims: Pregnancy presents risks, particularly for women with pre-existing health problems. Pre-anaesthetic consultations can help anticipate these risks and establish a medical management strategy on the delivery day. While teleconsultations gained popularity during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, research on pre-anaesthetic teleconsultations during pregnancy is limited.
