Objective: To study the change in O2 saturation during induction of anaesthesia in children. A comparison between Halothane and Isoflurane. Study design: Prospective comparative study. Place and duration of study: Department of anaesthesia Services Hospital Lahore. Patient and methods: This study was conducted in 2004 on 70 children irrespective of sex age range 1-10 year. Results: A total 70 children were studied 35 in each group. The result showed that halothane is a better inhalational induction agent then isoflurane. Conclusion: Halothane is better than isoflurane for inhalational induction in children.

Induction Of Anaesthesia

Background: Induction of anaesthesia and endotracheal intubation are associated with adverse haemodynamic effects which are detrimental in hypertensive patients. Although etomidate is found to be a cardio stable induction agent, its advantages in hypertensive patients are not yet investigated. Aim of the present study is to compare the haemodynamic parameters following induction of anaesthesia with etomidate and propofol in normotensive and hypertensive patients. Methods: In a prospective comparative study, 120 patients aged 18 to 60 years, of both sex and ASA status I & II posted for elective surgery under general anaesthesia were divided into 4 groups of 30 each. Anaesthesia was induced with either propofol or etomidate. Heart rate(HR), Systolic Blood Pressure(SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure(DBP), Mean Arterial Pressure(MAP) and SpO2 were noted down at baseline, pre-induction, after induction, at laryngoscopy and 1, 3 & 5 minutes post intubation. Results: There was a significant fall in HR after induction with propofol which was more in the hypertensive group. After intubation, a rise in HR was observed in all 4 groups which returned to baseline by 5 minutes. A fall in MAP, SBP and DBP were observed in all the groups following induction, which shooted up after intubation. The fall in MAP with propofol was significantly higher when compared to etomidate which offered stable haemodynamic conditions. Conclusion: The present study suggests that induction of anaesthesia with etomidate is associated with better stability of MAP in normotensive as well as hypertensive patients when compared with propofol. However, HR is better maintained with propofol. Thus there is no clear evidence supporting induction by etomidate in hypertensive patients.

The present study examines the level of aspiration of students belonging to different streams of education and its impact on academic performance. The sample of the study consisted of 717 students (358 males and 358 females). The age range of the sample was 18 to 19 years. Tool used for measuring level of aspiration was Level of Aspiration Measure developed by Dr. Mahesh Bhargava and Prof. M A Shah. Goal Discrepancy Score is the difference between aspiration and the achievement on the same trial. The percentiles of marks obtained in the last qualifying exam were treated as an indicator of academic performance. For inferential purpose the data was treated with ANOVA and Scheffe’s test of Multiple Comparison. The findings of the study revealed that no significant difference exists between Academic Performance of students with high and low achievers belonging to Engineering and Management streams of education; however there exists significant differences between academic performances of students with high and low Level of Aspiration belonging to Law fraternity; with students showing low Level of Aspiration performing better than students with high Level of Aspiration. There exists no significant difference between academic performance of boys and girls with respect to Level of Aspiration in engineering stream. However, there exists significant difference between academic performance of boys and girls with respect to Level of Aspiration in Management and Legal streams of education. In both the streams girls outshine boys.

Aim: To ascertain whether the A-B gap improvement of tragal perichondrial grafting is better than TF grafting in CSOM patients undergoing type 1 tympanoplasty by underlay technique. Methodology: A prospective comparative study was done in CSOM patients presenting to a tertiary health care establishment. 60 patients underwent type 1 tympanoplasty, using TF graft in 30 and tragal perichondrial graft in 30 patients. Both groups of patients were compared in terms of A-B gap improvement following surgery. Results: A-B gap improvement of all the 60 patients were analysed. 8(26.67%) patients had A-B gap improvement </= 15dB in both the tragal perichondrium and TF graft group. Rest 22(73.33%) patients had A-B gap improvement of 16-25dB in either group. In cartilage group, 14 out of 15 patients i.e, 93.33%, while in Fascia group, 10 out of 12 pateints i.e, 83.33% patients who had perforation involving anterior quadrant had A-B gap closure between 16-25dB post- operatively. Therefore, cartilage graft showed better A-B gap closure than fascia graft in anterior quadrant. When both the quadrants were taken into consideration, 11 out 17 i.e, 65% patients in fascia group while 8 out of 13 i.e, 61% patients in cartilage group showed AB gap closure between 16-25dB. Therefore, fascia graft showed better result. Conclusions: This study showed that A-B gap improvement is similar in CSOM patients undergoing type 1 tympanoplasty using either TF or tragal perichondrial graft. Either of these can be good for improving the hearing in CSOM patients but tragal cartilage with perichodrium showed better results with perforation involving anterior quadrants.

Background: This study was undertaken to evaluate and compare the efficacies of two different regimen for induction of labour in IUFD in an effort to find a better management of woman with IUFD.Methods: It was a hospital based prospective comparative study taken up in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Assam Medical College and Hospital (AMCH), Dibrugarh for a period of 1 year. A total number of 90 cases were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups. The two groups were induced using regimen recommended by the RCOG. Group A was induced with Mifepristone - Misoprostol Combined Regimen while Group B was induced with only Misoprostol.Results: Both the groups were found to be comparable with respect to mean Pre – induction Bishops score. The mean Induction to Onset of Labour Interval and Induction to Delivery Interval were significantly less in Group A as compared to Group B. Mean dose of Misoprostol required was less in Group A compared to Group B. In terms of side effects tolerance to Group A was better than Group B.Conclusions: It was observed in the study that both the regimen were equally safe, easy to administer and affordable but the Combination Regimen had a slight edge over misoprostol alone regimen in terms of tolerance, fewer side effects and efficacy with regard to early onset of labour, shorter Induction to Delivery Interval and relatively less dose of misoprostol than misoprostol alone regimen.
