Background:, Despite recent advances in surgery and anaesthesia which significantly improve safety, many health facilities in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) remain chronically under-resourced with inability to cope effectively with serious obstetric complications (Knight et al., PLoS One...
Introduction: Emergence agitation is a common problem that can occur after administrationrnof general anesthesia and during recovery time especially in pediatric patients, which canrnresult in life threatening events if not managed adequately and timely. The use of modernrninhalational anesthetic...
Background: Intravenous fluid therapy is an integrated and lifesaving part of the treatmentrnof patients undergoing surgery. It continues to be heavily relied upon in the modern managementrnof general surgical patients, with nearly universal use in the perioperative period.rnObjective: The...
Background: Spinal anesthesia is widely used as a safe anesthesia technique for both electivernand emergency surgeries. Shivering is a frequent complication, distressing for the patientsrnundergoing surgery under both regional and general anesthesia. Regional anesthesia has beenrnknown to be...
Background: Dexamethasone is a powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-emetic agent that has been found to decrease opioid use and pain intensity. Effective postoperative pain control is an essential component of the care to the surgical patient. This study has been designed to investigate whether...
Background: Caudal epidural analgesia is one of the most popular and commonly performedrnregional blocks in pediatric anesthesia. It is a reliable and safe technique that can be used withrngeneral anesthesia for intra- and postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing lower abdominalrnand lower...
Background: Day of surgery cancelation is elective surgical procedure that is not performed on thernplanned day of surgery despite being on the finalized operating room schedule, for any reason. Dayrnof Surgery cancellation is a well-recognized quality problem and reflects inefficiency in...
Background: Despite limited duration of action, different additives are used to improve effectiveness of caudal block with some associated side effects. Combining rectal diclofenac and paracetamol to caudal block also enhance effectiveness of analgesia with devoid of side effects.rnObjective: To...

Background: Spinal anesthesia with local anesthetic agents, especially bupivacaine, has side effects such as hypotension, respiratory depression, vomiting and shivering .Its side effects are dose dependent, therefore different approaches have been attempted in order to avoid spinal-induced...
Background: Spinal anaesthesia is a commonly used regional technique for lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries. Bupivacaine is the most commonly employed local anaesthetic for sub arachnoid block. Perioperative hemodynamic status and post-operative pain relief are important issues with...
Introduction: Postoperative admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) is commonly planned and regarded as an important component to a safe and effective pathway for prevention, early recognition and timely management of life-threatening complications occurring in the immediate postop period.(1)...
Background: By prolonging the duration of spinal anesthesia sensory block co-administration of adjuvant has the potential to improve efficacy of regional blocks. However this technique has its own complications. Hence, drugs having minimal side effects and prolonged analgesia is always looked for....
Back ground: Caesarean delivery (CD) has been one of the most frequently performed major surgical interventions, and causes severe postoperative pain. Abdominal field blocks like TAP block are mostly preferred as post-operative analgesia for this operation. Using different adjuvants like...
Background: Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation are essential components of general anesthesia. But it is always associated with side effects called reflex cardiovascular responses. Many methods have been identified to attenuate these responses like intravenous lidocaine, deep inhalational...
