This study aimed to compare the motor blocking effect of Continuous Epidural Infusion (CEI) vs Intermittent Bolus (IEB) for labour analgesia using bupivacaine 0.0625% and fentanyl 4 μg/ml. Sixty primigravida patients were divided into groups 30 that received a loading dose 10 ml μg/ml in 5 with subsequent continuous infusion or intermittent boluses. Motor block level, blood pressure, heart rate, pain severity, maternal satisfaction, neonatal Apgar scores noted. All 60 participants completed...
ABSTRACT Background The ‘’Chain of Survival’’ (CoS), provides a structure to evaluate an emergency response system for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in any community. This chain has not been previously evaluated African population. aim this study was assess the effectiveness and efficiency CPR by evaluating components CoS following sudden Nigeria. Methodology prospective multicenter descriptive cross-sectional exploratory survey epidemiology outcome (SCA) adult Nigerians. conducted...
Abstract Background: The most common approach to managing severe pain following femoral fracture is with intravenous systemic analgesics, such as opioid analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs associated side effects respiratory depression, nausea, vomiting. These might be intolerable in trauma patients may result under treatment of pain. Improving the quality analgesia reduce these effects. Our study compared efficacy fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) for preoperative...
Endoscopic trans-nasal trans-sphenoidal hypophysectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure aimed at resection of pituitary tumors. This technique widely practiced in developed countries but presently gaining popularity our environment. study was presenting preliminary outcomes as it relates to the endoscopic surgery Kano, Nigeria. retrospective patients with tumors that presented government tertiary and private specialist health institutions from October 2018 December 2019. They all...
Background: Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) may be used during laparoscopic procedures in place of the often utilised endotracheal tube. The Proseal laryngeal mask (PLMA) is designed with an inflatable cuff, which provides excellent oropharyngeal seal, and I-gel a newer SAD softer noninflatable cuff sharing similar features PLMA. Aim Objectives: This study compared ease insertion, haemodynamic ventilatory parameters as well morbidities associated these SADs when for management diagnostic...
Background: Effective and prompt intervention following an episode of cardiac arrest increases survival probability. This underscores the need for basic life support (BLS) training among first-line health-care workers. study assesses impact BLS final-year medical students in a Nigerian institution. Materials Methods: Pre- Post-BLS questionnaires aimed at assessing knowledge cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) were administered to 72 students. Response 20 questions scored (total score 20),...
Sudden cardiac arrest in an apparently healthy patient is uncommon and distressing experience for clinicians, a prompt response improves outcome. A previously undiagnosed underlying anomaly places patients at risk of intraoperative critical incidents that could be fatal. We herein report rare case anomalous coronary arteries asymptomatic 25-year- old male who was rescheduled non-cardiac surgery after two previous episodes arrests.
Following propofol induction, suxamethonium tremendously improves intubating conditions in children and has been the gold standard agent for this purpose. However, could be absolutely contraindicated some patients. Fentanyl, a short acting opioid, investigated as suitable alternative with varying results.This study compares ease of tracheal intubation between propofol-suxamethonium (1.5 mg/kg) propofol-fentanyl (3 mcg/kg) during general anaesthesia among children.In double-blind randomised...
<h3>Background</h3> This study assessed the potential cost-effectiveness of high (80–100%) <i>vs</i> low (21–35%) fraction inspired oxygen (FiO<sub>2</sub>) at preventing surgical site infections (SSIs) after abdominal surgery in Nigeria, India, and South Africa. <h3>Methods</h3> Decision-analytic models were constructed using best available evidence sourced from unbundled data an ongoing pilot trial assessing effectiveness FiO<sub>2</sub>, published literature, a cost survey Effectiveness...
Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting is a common complication following general anaesthesia for gynaecological laparoscopic procedures. Objective: This prospective study was designed to compare the efficacies of ondansetron metoclopramide in prevention postoperative (PONV) after day-case surgeries. Materials Methods: Sixty-six ASA I II consenting patients aged 18–55 years undergoing procedures were recruited randomly allocated into two groups with each receiving either intravenous 4...
Patients with difficult airway may be encountered either predictably or not. The Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) has increasingly become an option for management including patients difficulty. We report the case of a middleaged man who had thyroidectomy and whose anticipated was managed classic LMA.
Background: A talon cusp is an accessory cusp-like dental anomaly that projects from the cingulum or cementoenamel junction to incisal edge of maxillary mandibular anterior teeth in both primary and permanent dentition.A significant genetic impact has been proposed by presence immediate family members.Talon affects sexes can be unilateral bilateral incisors.Males have a greater level incidence than females.Hattab colleagues suggested classification scheme for these irregular cusps based on...

Context: Direct laryngoscopy (DL) remains the most popular method of endotracheal intubation despite availability easier methods like intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA)—a blind aid with a high success rate even when employed by novices. Aim: This study compared overall using ILMA and DL during elective surgeries requiring intubation. Study Design: was comparative randomized study. Patients Methods: Following institutional ethical approval, 86 American Society Anaesthesiologists physical...
Background: Propofol is commonly used as a sole induction agent during laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion, and additional doses are often required with systemic consequences. Objective: Our study evaluated the effect of 0.1 mg/kg suxamethonium on dose propofol when insertion LMA. Methodology: Eighty patients aged between 18 60 years were included in this prospective study. Patients undergoing elective procedures under general anaesthesia LMA spontaneous ventilation randomized into two...
Despite the global burden of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), experience intubation and mechanical ventilation among severely ill COVID-19 varies worldwide. This study shares our on mechanically ventilated patients admitted into intensive care unit an isolation treatment center Federal Medical Center Katsina, North-western Nigeria. The clinical data obtained from a review patient's medical record folder include presentation, radiological laboratory findings, outcome. All were males with...
