BACKGROUND Successful extubation conventionally necessitates the passing of spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) and ventilator weaning parameters. We report successful extubation of patients with neuromuscular disease (NMD) and weakness who could not pass them. METHODS NMD-specific extubation criteria and a new extubation protocol were developed. Data were collected on 157 consecutive "unwean...

The postperfusion lung syndrome is an uncommon event after open-heart surgery. However, the timing of tracheal extubation after the operation remains controversy. A 58-year-old female patient underwent coronary artery bypass grafting. She developed postperfusion lung syndrome after the operation. In spite of stable cardiopulmonary condition, her arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) and partial pre...

The Department of Anaesthesia at SPMC Bikaner approved the trial and it was carried out during laparoscopic surgery OT with proper informed written permission. study a double-blind, randomised, prospective interventional trial. comprised 60 (ASA) Classes I II patients between ages 18 who were scheduled for elective cholecystectomy. Using computer-generated random number sequence, divided into t...

BACKGROUND Awake tracheal intubation may evoke reflex bronchoconstriction in asthmatics. Whether this effect is altered by the choice of the local anesthetic used or by pretreatment with a beta2-adrenoceptor agonist is unknown. Therefore, we assessed the effect of awake fiberoptic intubation after lidocaine or dyclonine inhalation with or without pretreatment with salbutamol on lung function in...

Current practice guidelines recommend administration of surfactant at or soon after birth in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. However, recent multicenter randomized controlled trials indicate that early use of continuous positive airway pressure with subsequent selective surfactant administration in extremely preterm infants results in lower rates of bronchopulmonary dysplasi...

Background: This study was conducted to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of I-gel over endotracheal tube with regards respiratory hemodynamic parameters in laproscopic surgeries. Methods: In this 60 adult patients either sex, ASA status I or II, aged 16 years, undergoing laparoscopic surgeries under general anesthesia were randomly studied. Group-A (I-gel) appropriate sized inserted, Grou...
