In a 12-week double-blind randomised study the efficacy of atenolol and a new longer-acting formulation of trimazosin were compared when given once daily in patients with mild to moderate hypertension. Two parallel groups, each consisting of 18 patients, were studied. At randomisation the two groups were well matched for age and sex distribution. They were also well matched for blood pressure, pulse rate and body weight; these latter measurements were recorded at regular intervals during the 12 weeks of study. Atenolol produced substantial reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and in heart rate, during 12 weeks of treatment. This therapeutic effect was maintained until the next dose after 24 hours. Trimazosin, by comparison, failed to reduce either systolic or diastolic pressure, or to alter heart rate. Side effects were minor with both agents and compliance with treatment was good. Atenolol caused significant elevation of plasma concentration of triglyceride, with reduction in high density lipoprotein concentration when compared with trimazosin. In conclusion, atenolol was confirmed as an effective agent for the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension. By comparison trimazosin in the longer-acting formulation was ineffective in this study. However, trimazosin may still find a place in treatment if used at higher dose.

Significant Difference

Background The operating room can be a frightening environment for paediatric patients. This study investigated whether music medicine can mitigate preoperative anxiety in children. Materials and methods One hundred and fifty children undergoing general anaesthesia were randomised to listen to music of the child’s choice, lullaby music or no music before induction. Heart rates were measured in the waiting room, upon first entry into the operating room and just prior to induction. Results There was no significant difference in average heart rate change from the waiting room to induction in the patient choice, lullaby and control groups. Older age was associated with higher heart rate changes between baseline and entering the operating room. Pharmacologic sedation showed a significant beneficial effect on heart rate change at induction. Conclusion Use of music medicine in the operating room does not show efficacy to reduce anxiety in children based on heart rate changes.

Background: laminectomy surgeries are usually performed in cases of spinal canal stenosis, disc prolapse etc. It has been reported that the use of regional anesthesia techniques in combination to general anaesthesia has shown better heamodynamic stability intraoperatively, better pain scores and reduced intraoperative blood loss. The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of fusion technique of combining epidural and general anaesthesia in patients undergoing lumbar laminectomies. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of combined epidural general anesthesia for lumbar laminectomy surgeries with epidural ropivacaine. Materials and Methods: A prospective randomised study was conducted in 100 patients who are scheduled for lumbar laminectomy surgeries belonging to ASA Class I and II age between 40-60 years were randomly allocated into two groups (Group E and Group F) of 50 each. Group E: 12ml of 0.5% Ropivacaine and 50µg fentanyl epidurally. Group F:12ml of Normal Saline and 50µg fentanyl epidurally. The parameters recorded were intraoperative analgesia by heart rate and blood pressure, Rescue analgesia, Blood loss. Results: Intraoperatively requirement of general anesthetics, Heart rate, MBP, Blood loss, is lesser in Group E when compared with Group F. It was observed that longer time to rescue analgesia in group E than in group F. Conclusion: combined epidural general anesthesia with local anesthetic (ropivacaine) with narcotic (fentanyl) is a better technique for anesthetic management of patients posted for lumbar laminectomy. Thus from our study we conclude that combined epidural general anesthesia technique with epidural ropivacaine is a better alternative to general anesthesia providing stable hemodynamics, reducing dose of general anesthetics, less blood loss.

Heart Rate Feedback

Background: Assessment of heart rate (HR) is essential during newborn resuscitation, and comparison of dry-electrode ECG technology to standard monitoring by 3-lead ECG and Pulse Oximetry (PO) is lacking. Methods: NeoBeat, ECG, and PO were applied to newborns resuscitated at birth. Resuscitations were video recorded, and HR was registered every second. Results: Device placement time from birth was median (quartiles) 6 (4, 18) seconds for NeoBeat versus 138 (97, 181) seconds for ECG and 152 (103, 216) seconds for PO. Time to first HR presentation from birth was 22 (13, 45) seconds for NeoBeat versus 171 (129, 239) seconds for ECG and 270 (185, 357) seconds for PO. Proportion of time with HR feedback from NeoBeat during resuscitation from birth was 85 (69, 93)%, from arrival at the resuscitation table 98 (85, 100)%, and during positive pressure ventilation 100 (95, 100)%. For ECG, these proportions were, 25 (0, 43)%, 28 (0, 56)%, and 33 (0, 66)% and for PO, 0 (0, 16)%, 0 (0, 16)%, and 0 (0, 18)%. All p < 0.0001. Conclusions: NeoBeat was faster to place, presented HR more rapidly, and provided feedback on HR for a larger proportion of time during ongoing resuscitation compared to 3-lead ECG and PO.
