conclusions an intraoperative dex infusion maintains blood glucose levels at a constant level relative to baseline in diabetic patients within 24 hours postoperatively. the frequency of hyperglycemia was low in group a in the perioperative period compared with that in the control group (group b). methods twenty diabetic patients were randomly allocated to two groups (n = 10). group a patients w...

Introduction/Objective. Despite frequent side effects such as hypotension, spinal anesthesia (SA) is still one of the best anesthetic methods for elective cesarean section (CS). Intermittent, oscillometric, noninvasive blood pressure monitoring (NIBP) frequently leads to missed hypotensive episodes. The objective was compare continuous non-invasive arterial (CNAP) with NIBP in terms efficiency ...

BACKGROUND Salvinorin A (SA), the main active component of Salvia Divinorum, is a non-nitrogenous kappa opioid receptor (KOR) agonist. It has been shown to reduce acute pain and to exert potent antinflammatory effects. This study assesses the effects and the mode of action of SA on formalin-induced persistent pain in mice. Specifically, the SA effects on long-term behavioural dysfuctions and ch...

[Purpose] This study investigated the effect of push-up exercise with hip adduction on the COP deviation and SA and L1 spinal muscle activation. [Subjects] Twelve males aged 20-30 years were recruited. [Methods] We measured the COP deviation and SA and L1 spinal muscle activities during push-up exercise with and without hip adduction [Results] The COP deviation significantly decreased and the S...

Background: Pregnancy causes a small increase in risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), but a large increase in concern upon presentation during cesarean section with symptoms of pulmonary embolism (PE). Pulmonary embolism clinical manifestations during spinal anesthesia could be misleading. We have presented 2 interesting cases of pregnant women underwent spinal anesthesia for cesarean section ...

The influence of body-mass index (BMI) on spinal anesthesia is still controversial, with discrepant results reported in previous studies. To compare spinal anesthesia in obese and non-obese subjects, the anesthesia profiles in patients who underwent spinal anesthesia using intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine were compared. A total of 209 patients undergoing elective total knee replacement arthro...

THE EFFECT OF EPHEDRINE AND PLACEBO ON HEMODYNAMIC CHANGES ITS COMPLICATIONS IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING PERCUTANEOUS NEPHROLITHOTOMY WITH SPINAL ANESTHESIA

Introduction: there is no consensus on the ideal anesthesia for hemorrhoidectomy in ambulatory facilities. spinal anesthesia and venous propofol associated with local perianal block (combined anesthesia) are frequently used, and their direct costs may be crucial for the anesthesia type selection. the objective of this study was to compare the direct costs of anesthesia-related materials in hemo...

OBJECTIVE: to determine the more effective dose of intramuscular (IM) Phenylephrine in preventing hypotension due spinal anesthesia (SA) administered for cesarean section. METHODS: The study was conducted from January1, 2020 July 31, 2020, at Rehman Medical Institute, Peshawar, Pakistan. Sixty participants American Society Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status 1 and 2, scheduled elective sect...
