To Evaluate the Efficacy of Low Dose Ketamine in Attenuating Haemodynamic Stress Response Induced by Pneumoperitoneum in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Under General Anaesthesia: A Prospective Study
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anesthesia and Analgesia - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Pneumoperitoneum required for laparoscopy causes cardiovascular and pulmonary stress responses. Various pharmacological interventions have been used to attenuate those sympathetic response. N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA) receptor antagonists like ketamine have received great attention. We used low dose of ketamine 0.3mg/kg for attenuation of pressor response. Method: Patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were divided in group K (ketamine0.3 mg/kg)and group N(normal saline).Ten minutes before creation of pneumoperitoneum, the (group K) received ketamine 0.3 mg/kg diluted in normal saline intravenously whereas group N received same amount of normal saline. Hemodynamicparameters were monitored and results observed. Results: Heart Rate,Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood Pressure, Mean Arterial Pressure were significantly attenuated in group K (p<0.001) as compared to group N. Conclusion: Low dose ketamine attenuates hemodynamic response in pneumoperitonium in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Effect of Intravenous Esomeprazole Sodium and Intravenous Pantoprazole on Gastric pH in Adults Undergoing Elective General Anaesthesia
Background: General anesthesia predisposes a patient to regurgitation and aspiration of gastric substances into otherwise healthy lungs leading to fatal acid aspiration syndrome. Historically, this syndrome most commonly...
Use of Low Dose Suxamethonium to Facilitate Laryngeal Mask Insertion Under Etomidate Anesthesia
Context: Endotracheal intubation is a routine since the discovery of general anesthesia. Passage of endotracheal tube is not without morbidity, dental damage and sore throat being the commonest and serious complications....
Comparison of Proseal Laryngeal Mask Airway Versus Endotracheal Tube in Anaesthetized Adult Patients
Endotracheal tube (ETT) is always considered as a standard device to keep an airway patent during surgery. Airway management of patients has also progressed form endotracheal tube to lesser invasive laryngeal mask airway...
C-MAC Video Laryngoscope versus Macintosh Laryngoscope for Intubation in Elective Surgery: A Clinical Trial
Background: CMAC is a video laryngoscope with the unique advantage of having a blade design very similar to the most commonly used Macintosh laryngoscope. We conducted this study to compare the efficacy of intubation wit...
