BACKGROUND Patients sometimes complain of soreness of throat following tracheal extubation. Different analgesic and anaesthetic formulations have been employed to treat and prevent it. We attempted to study the effect of intravenous Paracetamol premedication in preventing it. MATERIALS AND METHODS With permission from Institutional Ethics Committee and written informed consent from patients, this single blind study was conducted on 80 ASA adult subjects of both sexes of ASA Grades I and II who needed general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation. The patients were randomly divided into two groups of 40 each. Group P patients were given intravenous Paracetamol infusion as premedication while the Group C were studied as the control group. Standard identical anaesthetic techniques were employed for both the groups. Following recovery from anaesthesia, the patients were checked for sore throat and the severity of it at 0,2,6 and 24 hours using verbal rating scale and the data was statistically analysed.
BACKGROUND Most common fracture in elderly patients is distal radius fracture. The most common method of management is closed reduction and immobilisation. The aim of the study is to compare the analgesic effects of haematoma block and general anaesthesia for closed reduction of distal fracture of radius.
Cholecystectomy employing combined spinal epidural technique with lignocaine and /or bupivacaine as the local anaesthetic agent has been reported. Here we report a patient with cardiac as well as pulmonary disorders who underwent open cholecystectomy under combined spinal epidural technique with Ropivacaine as sole local anaesthetic agent.
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.
