Methods: Hundred parturients who had given their consent and were scheduled for elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia, were divided into four groups—first group received 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacine fixed dose, the second group received 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacine in a dose adjusted to the height, the third received 0.75% hyperbaric bupivacine fixed dose, the fourth group received 0.75% hyperbaric bupivacine in a dose adjusted to height. The anesthesia onset time, haemodynamic changes, side effects and fetal outcome observed. Results: Spinal block provide excellent surgical anesthesia in all patients. Anesthesia onset time is longer in adjusted than fixed groups, in 0.5% (5 ± 0.816 vs. 3.84 ± 0.746) (P Conclusion: Adjusting dose of hyperbaric bupivacine (0.5% - 0.75%) to patient’s height, decreases the dose of bupivacine in use, it also provide adequate anesthesia for elective cesarean section with decrease the use of vasopressors, the incidence and severity of maternal hypotention also markedly reduced.展开更多

N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors have a role in nociception and inflammation. NMDA receptors are located in peripheral and the central nervous system.

Patients included in the study were of either gender belonging to American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) status 1 or 2 undergoing elective surgery requiring tracheal intubation. Patients will be recruited in the study divided into two equal groups;Patients in Group A: will receive nebulized magnesium sulfate in 3 ml (240 mg) over 15 min. While group B: will receive nebulized normal saline in 3 ml over 15 min, ending 5 min before the induction of anesthesia. SBP, DBP, HR, and blood glucose level will be measured at the following intervals;Baseline (before induction), after premedication (sedation), after induction, after ETT intubation, 3 min later, 6 min later. <b>Results:</b> Preoperative magnesium sulfate nebulization has a significant effect (p value < 0.001) on attenuating the stress response (SBP, DBP, HR, and SBG) to tracheal intubation at the following intervals;post ETT intubation, 3 min later, and 6 min later. <b>Conclusion:</b> Magnesium sulfate significantly reduces the stress response of intubation.展开更多

Spinal anesthesia, affects the process of temperature regulation. The aim of this study was to compare the prophylactic effect of intravenous (IV) meperidine with intrathecal (IT) meperidine on the prevention of shivering during spinal anesthesia in patients underwent knee arthroscopy. Aim of the Study: The aim of this work is to study the effect of meperidine either intravenous (IV) vs intrathecal (IT) on controlling postoperative shriving after knee arthroscopy. Materials and Methods: This study will be conducted in accordance with the principles of the ethics committee Benha University hospitals. Full written informed consent will be obtained from all patients before inclusion in the study, and a prospective randomized double-blinded study was conducted in adult patients undergoing knee arthroscopy under spinal anesthesia. Cases are divided into three equal groups (20 patients in each). Group IT: will receive spinal anesthesia (12.5 mg heavy bupivacaine) with intrathecal meperidine (25 mg). Group IV: will receive spinal anesthesia (12.5 mg heavy bupivacaine) with intravenous meperidine (25 mg). Group C: will receive spinal anesthesia (12.5 mg heavy bupivacaine) only postoperatively. Incidence and degree of shivering (SS), sedation score (RSS), pain score (VAS), hemodynamics, and PONV will be measured at the following intervals: 0 min (once arrived at PACU), 20 min later, 40 min later, 80 min later. Results: Shivering was observed in 0%, 0%, and 10.5% of patients in Groups IT, IV, and C, respectively. There was a significant difference between Group IT and IV compared to Group C (P Conclusion: We concluded that IT meperidine and IV meperidine comparably can decrease intensity and incidence of shivering compared to control group as well as decrease the requirement for additional doses of meperidine for shivering control without any hemodynamic side effect. And intrathecal meperidine showed better postoperative pain control and less postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).展开更多
