Intubation in patients with restricted spine mobility - A clinical study
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Tracheal intubation is necessary in patients with confirmed or suspected cervical spine instability. Patients are at risk in the laryngoscopic procedures following intubation. The severity of neurological sequel can be reduced when cervical injury is recognised early. The main aim in these patients is reduction of the movement of cervical spine during intubation. A prospective study was done in AJ Institute of Medical Sciences in this regard, taking into consideration the ease of intubation with simulated neck immobilisation using hard cervical collar. The demographic characteristics, clinical parameters, time taken for intubation, complications and the sequlae were evaluated and described.

Comparison between ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block and conventional ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block as post-operative analgesia for unilateral open inguinal hernioplasty under spinal anaesthesia
Background: Open inguinal hernioplasty is commonly performed under spinal anesthesia. Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block or ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric (IHN) block are used for postoperative pain relief in these pa...
The efficacy of 0.75% ropivacaine by epidural neuroaxial blockade for lower abdominal surgeries
The feasibility of injecting a local anaesthetic by the epidural route was first demonstrated by the French Urologist Cathelin in 1901. However, for many years caudal rather than lumber epidural blockade was the preferre...

A study of transient hearing loss after spinal anesthesia
Background: Transient sensorineural hearing loss in the low frequencies can be observed after spinal anesthesia. Reported incidence rates of hearing loss after spinal anesthesia range between 0.2% and 8%. This rate can e...
