Role of routine fluid replacement in children undergoing tonsillectomy

AbstractIt has been suggested that children undergoing tonsillectomy would benefit from an intravenous infusion, to counteract the period of pre-operativefasting combined with the blood loss at operation.A prospective study of 50 children undergoing tonsillectomy was undertaken. The children were randomly allocated into two groups, one to receive an infusion and a control group.There were no significant differences between the two groups, although the children with an infusion had a longer mean post-operative stay.There would seem to be no role for routine intravenous fluid replacement in children undergoing uncomplicated tonsillectomy.

Observations in neonatal sepsis revealed that the lgG concentrations in septic newborns is significantly lower than in non septic infants. This condition lead the author to investigate the role of fortification of lgG in infants with intrapartum infections. For this purpose a prospective study was carried out, 35 newborn infants with intrapartum infections were treated with lgG Cutter 0,6 mg per Kg BW per week and 35 other infants with similar criteria served as control group. The result of the trial showed that /gG administration could help in prevention of minor infections.

And Control

Background: Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α-2 adrenergic receptor agonist with several diverse actions like sedation, anxiolysis, sympatholysis, analgesia, and decreased intraoperative anesthetic requirements (narcotic, inhalational). Intravenous (IV) dexmedetomidine can be used as an adjuvant in labour analgesia in preeclampsia patients as onset is faster and duration of analgesia is longer. Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to determine the role of intravenous Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant in Labour analgesia in PIH.Subjects and Methods:This was a prospective study and was done in the department of Anaesthesia at Maheshwara Medical College. Our study included 60 full term pregnant women with preeclampsia, within 25 to 45 years age range. They were divided into two groups, as Test group and Control group of 30 patients each. Test group received IV Dexmedetomidine and Control group received IV Fentanyl.Results:Maximum number of cases 15/30 (50%) were in the age group 31-35 years, Majority were primigravida ie, 60% ( 36/60). Onset of analgesia was faster, duration of analgesia was longer and uterine contraction was greater with IV Dexmedetomidine as compared to IV fentanyl.Conclusion:From the present study we conclude that IV Dexmedetomidine can be used for labour analgesia in pregnant women with preecampsia and observed that onset and duration of analgesia are better and also it gives stable maternal parameters of maternal heart rate and mean blood pressure.
