Introduction: Induction of anaesthesia in paediatric age group is more challenging when compared to adults because of non availability of proper intravenous line, inhalational induction agents and non cooperation of the child.Inhalational Anaesthesia is the preferred technique of induction in the paediatric age group. Study objective was to find out induction time for halothane and sevoflurane in children aged between 2 years and 12 years Material and methods: A total of 79 paediatric patients in the age group between 2 years to 12 years undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia were selected they were randomised to two groups using closed envelope method. GROUP H: induction was done with Halothane and GROUP S: induction was done with Sevoflurane Results: Induction time and heart rate changes were observed. Induction time was 2mins and 8sec in halothane group and 1min and 17 sec in sevoflurane group was observed. Heart rate changes in halothane group was 116/ min and in sevoflurane group it was 130/min. Conclusion: We conclucled that sevoflurane is a faster induction agent than halothane and showed more heart rate changes at the time of induction. The Heart rate decrease was more with Halothane Group than Sevoflurane.
A 19year old primigravida with 12 weeks gestation was admitted in our hospital with bleeding per vagina (PV). She also complained of dyspnea, fatigue, chest pain. Her x-ray chest PA view showed evidence of pneumothorax. Emergency Inter costal drainage (ICD) was placed.. After 24 hours she was posted for dilatation and curettage. General Anaesthesia was administered using injection1 mg butorphanol , 100 mg propofol and 20 mg atracurium. Airway was secured with size 3 laryngeal mask airway (LMA). At the end of the procedure patient was reversed with neostigmine and glycopyrolate and shifted to MICU without any complication
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
