Endotracheal intubation, or EI, is a common procedure in the ICU, particularly for critically ill patients who require mechanical ventilation airway compromise. This patient population presents unique challenges, including anatomic conditions, physiologic factors, logistics, and operator experience. The objective of systematic was to assess efficacy video laryngoscopy compared direct rapid sequence intubation procedures, intensive care units, intending evaluate various outcomes such as...

The majority of women having planned cesarean section receive spinal anesthesia for the procedure. Typically, opioids are administered during same time as a component multimodal analgesia to provide pain relief in 16–24 h period postoperatively. quadratus lumborum block is regional analgesic technique that blocks T5-L1 nerve branches and has an evolving role postoperative lower abdominal surgeries may be potential alternative opioids. If found effective, it will have advantage reduction...

This study investigated the effects of different doses epidural fentanyl on time to onset analgesia in women early labour. We hypothesised that labour (the primary outcome defined as minutes from completion bolus first uterine contraction with a numeric pain rating scale [NPRS] score ≤ 3) would be faster 100 μg compared 20 or 50 μg. Epidural was initiated (F20 group), (F50 group) (F100 along 10 ml bupivacaine 0.08% loading dose. randomly allocated 105 patients, 35 patients each group. Median...

Point-of-care ultrasound can be used at the bedside to assess haemodynamic status and fluid responsiveness of a pregnant woman. Previous studies demonstrated that views from apical parasternal windows are readily obtainable in labouring women. However, using subcostal window inferior vena cava challenging because gravid uterus. A potential alternative is right upper quadrant transhepatic window. We sought compare visualisation via windows, full-term This was prospective pilot study carried...

Rapid sequence induction, with the application of cricoid pressure is an accepted practice during induction general anesthesia in pregnant patients to prevent pulmonary apiration. We found no prior studies assessing accuracy locating cartilage by professional caregivers, and therefore conducted observational study assess ability different caregivers - consultants, residents, respiratory therapists (RTs), nurses, obstetric care unit, correctly identify parturients. hypothesized that...

( Anaesthesia 2017;72:1371–1378) While low-concentration local anesthetic solutions combined with opioids have been shown to decrease motor block without affecting the quality of labor analgesia, onset analgesia may be delayed when using these solutions. Previous studies suggested that improved by addition a fentanyl bolus initial epidural dose. However, previous evaluated time used higher concentrations anesthetics than are commonly in current practice. This dose-comparison study aimed...
