Filter by:The aim of this prospective clinical study is to compare the effectiveness of dexamethasone and magnesium sulfate added as adjuvants to bupivacaine in infraclavicular brachial plexus block used under ultrasound guidance for upper extremity surgeries.
Caudal epidural block is a rapid, reliable, and safe technique that can be used with general anesthesia for intraoperative and postoperative analgesia in pediatric patients Ketamine is a selective antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, an ionotropic glutamate receptor.
A Cochrane systematic review has confirmed that fetal exposure to magnesium sulphate given before preterm birth has a neuroprotective role. This review also showed a significant reduction in the rate of gross motor dysfunction in early childhood. Early Preterm birth (< 34+0 weeks) and very low birthweight (< 1,500 g) are the principal risk factors for cerebral palsy. Multiple pregnancy accounts for over 10% of preterm births and has a higher incidence of cerebral palsy than singleton pregnancy (twins have 7 times and triplets 47 times the risk of cerebral palsy compared with singletons).
The aim of this study is to assess the potential role of magnesium sulphate (MgSo4) as a neuroprotective agent using the Glasgow outcome scale following moderate and severe traumatic brain injury.
All patients were premedicated with oral midazolam 5-15 mg. one hour before surgery. General anesthesia with double lumen endobronchial tube was given. Patient was induced by propofol and fentanyl. Cisatracurium was given to facilitate intubation. Patient was ventilated with 50% oxygen in air. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol and fentanyl in order to keep blood pressure and heart rate within 20% of the baseline. Cisatracurium was given every 30 minutes in order to control ventilation. At the end of surgery, neuromuscular blockade was reversed.In PACU, the I.V. PCA machine was connected to the patient. The setting of PCA was basal infusion of morphine 1 mg/hr bolus of morphine 1 mg with lockout interval 5 minutes and 4-hour limit 30 mg.The patient's mean arterial blood pressure, heart rate were recorded before induction, before intubation, at 15, 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after intubation, and at 4, 8,16 and 24 h after surgery. The total amounts of fentanyl, propofol and magnesium sulphate were recorded. The time between the cessation of magnesium sulphate and extubation was recorded. The amounts of morphine usage at 4, 8, 16 and 24 hours after surgery were recorded. Pain score was evaluated at rest and deep breath and sedation score at 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 16 and 24 hours after surgery using numeric rating scale (NRS). Sedation score was graded as 0 = fully awake, 1 = somnolence, responds to call, 2 = somnolence, responds to tactile stimulation, 3 = asleep, responds to painful stimulation. The times that the patient first sipping, taking food, sitting at the edge of bed and walk with help were also recorded. The side effects such as nausea, vomiting, pruritus and respiratory depression were recorded. Cost effective analysis was also evaluated.
