Combined Spinal Epidural Anesthesia in a Parturient with Kyphoscoliosis, Chronic Hypertension and Transverse Lie
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anesthesia and Analgesia - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Kyphoscoliosis is associated with physical and functional problems which are challenging both to the anaesthesiologist and obstetrician. We present a parturient at 34 weeks of gestation having severe kyphoscoliosis and chronic hypertension with fetus in transverse lie. She underwent classical Caesarean section under combined spinal and epidural anaesthesia. Perioperative period was uneventful, but the neonate had multiple congenital anomalies.

Comparison of Clinical Performance of Supraglottic Airway Devices I– gel vs LMA-Proseal in Paediatric Elective Surgeries
Introduction: Newer supraglottic airway devices, LMA-Proseal & I-Gel [2,3] have gastric channel which reduces the risk of aspiration when the baby is placed in lateral for caudal epidural placement [5]. We designed a pro...

Background: MAC is most common method of titration of volatile anesthetics and BIS is used to measure the hypnotic effect of anesthetics. This study was undertaken to evaluate and compare the BIS value produced by differ...
To Compare The Haemodynamic Resopnses and Adequacy of Ventilation Between Laryngoscopic Endotracheal Intubation and Laryngeal Mask Airway Classic Insertion in Short Surgical Procedures Under General Anaesthesia with Muscle Relaxation
The haemodynamic response associated with laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation may be harmful to certain patients. The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) avoids the need for laryngoscopy and allows positive pressure ventilation...
Randomized Comparative Study of Proseal Laryngeal Mask Airway and Classic Laryngeal Mask Airway for Airway Management
Background: Laryngeal mask airways(LMA) have many advantages over endotracheal intubation in airways management, but has a risk of gastric insufflations, vomiting and aspiration. The aim of our study was to know how effe...
