SUMMARY:Postoperative nausea and vomiting are the common morbidity after general anaesthesia and surgery 1

Abstract

Background Antibiotic resistant bacterial nosocomial infections are a leading problem in intensive care units (ICU). Objective 12(20.33%) in 2010, 2(20%) in 2011 and 13(25%) in 2012. only collistin sensitive organism identified was 28(23.14%).

Introduction:Anaesthesia may influence intraoperative bleeding in several ways both physiologically and pharmacologically. Elective hypotension is used to reduce operative blood loss especially in those operations like spine surgery 1 , middle ear surgery, cerebro-vascular surgery where even a small quantity of blood can obscure the operative field and make difficulties for the surgeon for a good proper surgery and prolong duration of operation 1 . Laryngoscopic stimulation of oropharyngeal structure may be an important factor in the haemodynamic stress response associated with tracheal intubation. 2 Original ArticleUse of labetalol and glyceryl trinitrate for induced hypotension in spine surgery-A comparative study

Background: Post operative pain is an acute type of pain. There is convincing evidence that unrelieved post operative pain may result in harmful physiological and psychological effects with significant morbidity and even mortality. Complete and effective pain management is an essential for the patient who recovers from surgery. For this reason we used easy available drugs opioid, NSAID and its combination for better post operative analgesia with the aim of avoiding expensive patient controlled analgesia technique, infusion or intramuscular painful roout of administration. Methods: 120 patients ASA grade-I and II were selected for post operative pain releive in upper and lower abdominal surgery. All patients divided into three groups and each group are equal in number and same type of surgery. Among the three groups, two groups received small intermittent intravenous pethidine and diclofenac pre and post operatively and other groups received intra muscular pethidine with diclofenac pre and post operatively (controlled group). All vital parameter and pain score both VAS and VRS were recorded in perioperative period up to 24 hours postoperatively. Result: Good level of anaesthesia was achieved in all groups (VAS>30mm) of upper and lower abdominal surgery except early post operative period. In early post operative period significant difference of VAS in group II and III (P<.01) was found with group I. But after half an hour and one hour significant difference of VAS in group II and III (P<0.02, P<0.001) was found with group I. Over all excellent analgesia was possible in group II VAS, VRS always more than 30mm and all vital sign were stable. Conclusion: Small intravenous intermittent dose of pethidine in combination with diclofenac sodium effectively controlled post-operative pain.
