Background: Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is an expected complication after lumbar puncture (LP). Spinal anaesthesia (SA) is given to a patient in lateral decubitus or in the sitting position. Our aim is to compare the incidence of PDPH between sitting and lateral decubitus position among patients scheduled for LSCS. Methods: This is a kind of comparative study done on 200 pregnant women scheduled for elective lower segment caesarean section at our tertiary care centre named NRI Institute of Medical Sciences, Chinakakani Andhra Pradesh, India. Patients were randomized into two groups as per the position used for spinal anaesthesia. Group S(sitting) included 100 patients and group D (lateral decubitus) included 100 patients. Results: There is no significant difference in the mean age, mean BMI and ASA grade of patients in both groups. The incidence of post-dural puncture headache was more common in sitting group patients on a postoperative day 1 compared to lateral decubitus group patients. The intensity of headache was more in sitting group patients from days 1 to 3 postoperatively. There is no significant difference in postoperative nausea and vomiting between two groups. Conclusion: The incidence of post-dural puncture headache is more common among patients in the sitting group compared to patients kept in lateral decubitus position. Also, the intensity of headache is more in the sitting group among pregnant women who were scheduled for elective lower segment caesarean section.
Introduction: Emergence delirium is a state of aggressive delirium that can occur temporarily in the process of emerging from anaesthesia, and occurs most often during the early stages of emergence1. Newer volatile agents like sevourane and desurane are said to have a 20-80% increased incidence of adverse emergence effects when compared to halothane and isourane. This study was undertaken with the Aims And Objectives: aim of prospectively comparing the incidence of emergence agitation between sevourane and desurane in pediatric patients. To compare the pain intensity at 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours. To compare the time for tracheal extubation after discontinuing volatile agents in both groups. This prospective randomized control study study was c Materials And Methods: arried out in 60 pediatric patients between the age group 3-12 years undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia. Patients were randomized into the following 2 groups: GROUP S - Anaesthesia was maintained with oxygen, nitrous oxide and sevourane (MAC 1). GROUP D - Anaesthesia was maintained with oxygen, nitrous oxide and desurane (MAC 1). Comparison between Age, gender, ASA, weights, D Results: uration of Inhalation Exposure(mins), Time for Extubation after discontinuing volatile(mins), PAED Score with Groups by Mann- Whitney U test, VAS Score with Groups by Unpaired ttest with Groups shows no statistical signicant association. Des Conclusion: urane has faster recovery from anaesthesia when compared to sevourane in pediatric patients. Incidence of emergence agitation is comparable between both the groups although sevourane has a slightly higher incidence of EA than desurane in our study.
