Tetrology of Fallot's (TOF) is the most common cause of cyanotic congenital heart disease, and accounts for 10% of all congenital heart diseases. Right to left shunting and hyperviscosity of blood predisposes these patients to brain abscess. Perioperative management of these patients with uncorrected TOF for noncardiac surgery is a challenge for the anesthesiologists owing to the long-term effects of hypoxia and decreased pulmonary blood flow, resulting in considerable modification of the physiology and neurological complications. We are hereby reporting the anaesthetic management of an 8 year old child with uncorrected TOF presenting with multiple brain abscesses who underwent craniotomy with uneventful recovery.
Regional anesthesia is the preferred technique for most of lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries as it allows the patient to remain awake and minimize the problems associated with airway management. Hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5%, although extensively used for spinal anesthesia, has a limitation of short duration. The addition of fentanyl, a synthetic lipophilic opioid, is known to prolong postoperative analgesia.
We aimed to study the effect of the addition of different doses of fentanyl to hyperbaric bupivacaine about hemodynamic changes, the extent of sensory and motor block, duration of analgesia, and complications that occur during the procedure.
This study was a prospective, comparative, randomized, and double-blind study.
Patients were randomly allocated to three groups of 30 each. Group I (n [number of patients] = 30) received bupivacaine 0.5% heavy 2.0 mL diluted up to 2.5 mL with normal saline. Group II (
= 30) received bupivacaine 0.5% heavy 2.0 mL and fentanyl 20 μg diluted up to 2.5 mL oup I. None of the patients in Groups I and II had any complications such as hypotension, nausea, vomiting, bradycardia, and pruritus. CP21 However, the incidence of hypotension, nausea, and pruritus was more in Group III. 2 mg intrathecal bupivacaine with 20 μg fentanyl provides reliable and satisfactory sensory and motor block without increasing the incidence of side effects.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been used as a treatment modality for diabetic wound ulcers recently. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of HBOT in the management of diabetic ulcer using Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool.
A total of 50 patients with diabetic ulcer were included in this prospective, randomized, controlled study. Patients were randomly divided into two equal-sized (
= 25) study groups. Patients in Group CT received only conventional therapy and in Group HT received HBOT along with conventional therapy. Wound ulcers were analyzed on 0, 10
, 20
, and 30
sessions using Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool. Statistical analysis was performed using Microsoft (MS) Office Excel Software with the Chi-square test (level of significance,
= 0.05).
The healing recovery rate as changes in the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool from the 0
to 10
session in Group CT 0.88 ± 1.09 as compared to Group HT 9.96 ± 2.73 improved significantly with
= 0.0001. The grading score recorded from the 10
to 20
session in Group CT 3.73 ± 2.55 as compared to Group HT 10.40 ± 2.47 improved statistically significant,
= 0.0001. The grading score recorded from 20th to 30th session in Group CT 6.16 ± 2.01 as compared to Group HT 6.46 ± 2.19,
= 0.646 was not significant.
HBOT has a definitive adjunctive treatment option in healing diabetic ulcers and improving quality of life.

Awake patients complain of burning sensation following nasal application of lignocaine jelly.
The aim of the study was to assess hemodynamic changes, ease of insertion, number of attempts taken, and time required for insertion of Ryle's tube following nasal application of 2% lignocaine jelly versus lubricant gel in patients undergoing surgeries under general anesthesia.
This was a prospective, randomized, open-label study conducted in a tertiary care institute.
Eighty patients undergoing surgeries under general anesthesia who required insertion of a Ryle's tube were included. In Group A, 2% lignocaine jelly was used, whereas in Group B, lubricant gel was used prior to Ryle's tube insertion, after induction of anesthesia. Hypertension and/or tachycardia were managed by increasing sevoflurane by 0.5%-1%, followed by propofol bolus of 0.5 mg.kg
.
Chi-square test and Independent samples t test.
Both heart rate and mean arterial pressure were significantly higher at 1 min after nasal application of lignocaine jelly and 1 and 5 min after Ryle's tube insertion in Group A compared to Group B. Ease of insertion of Ryle's tube, number of attempts, and time taken for insertion were comparable in both groups. Significantly higher number of patients in Group A required sevoflurane to be increased and needed propofol boluses.
Use of lubricant gel for aiding insertion of Ryle's tube in patients under general anesthesia was associated with attenuated heart rate and blood pressure responses without affecting the ease, number of attempts, or time taken for successful insertion of the Ryle's tube.

With increasing knee replacement surgeries, there has been a constant search for effective pain control modality.
We compared the analgesic effect of femoral nerve block (FNB) alone with combined femoral and sciatic nerve block (SNB) for postoperative pain management after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
This was a prospective observational study.
A total of 150 adult patients of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status class I and II scheduled for elective TKA under spinal anesthesia with 3.4-mL bupivacaine 0.5% and 20-μg fentanyl were randomly allocated to two groups. Group F patients received a single shot FNB with 20 ml 0.375% ropivacaine and Group FS patients received combined FNB with 20 mL of 0.375% ropivacaine and SNB with 40 ml of 0.375% ropivacaine at the end of surgery. The primary outcome was the change in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) scores between Groups F and FS at 6, 12, 18, 24, and 48 h later. The secondary outcome was total doses of opioid required in both groups.
The demographic data were comparable in both groups.
