Background: Post-operative pain relief after caeserean section is challenging to both anesthetista and obstetricians. Injection buprenorphine can be used intrathecally for post operative analgesia. Aim: the aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of two different doses(30ug and 60ug) of buprenorphine intrathecally with hyperbaric bupivacaine for post operative pain relief in caserean section. Methods and Materials: A prospective randomised controlled study was done on 60 subjects undergoing elective casarean section where in two groups were made, Group A (n=30) and Group B (n=30) who received inj bupivacaine 0.5% hyperbaric 2ml plus inj buprenorphine 30ug and inj bupivacaine 0.5% hyperbric plus inj buprinorphine 60ug intrathecally respectively. Following parameters were observed, onset and duration of sensory block, postopertive pain measured on VAS(visual analogue scale),rescue analgesia requirement, maternal side effects. Results: Unpaired t test and Chi square test were used for statistical analysis. Duration of analgesia was longer significantly in group A compared to group B. rescue analgesia requirement and VAS were significantly lower in group A as compared to group B.No major side effects were seen. Conclusion: Increasing the dosage of buprenorphine intrathecally increased the duration and quality of post operative analgesia. with no major adverse effects.

BACKGROUND: Recent clinical studies have demonstrated that children experience a similar severity of post operative pain as adults and that even preterm infants demonstrate alterations in heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation in response to pain. OBJECTIVE: To study the advantage of tramadol wound infiltration over bupivacaine on post operative pain relief in children following inguinal herniotomy and orchiodopexy METHODS: In this prospective single blinded randomized controlled study, 705 children aged between 1–7 years undergoing elective repair of unilateral inguinal hernia and orchiodopexy were randomly divided into 3 groups of 25 each. Group A (Tramadol) à wound infiltration with 2mg/Kg Tramadol in 0.2ml/Kg saline, Group B (Bupivacaine) à wound infiltration with 0.2ml/Kg of 0.25% of Bupivacaine and Group C (Tramadol i/m) à 2mg/Kg tramadol intra muscularly 20 minutes before the end of surgery. Children were assessed post-anesthesia for pain score and discharged from Post Anesthesia Care Unit when they achieved a score of 10. RESULTS: Group A had lower pain scores than group B and C for the first 24 hours in the postoperative period. The other two parameters pulse rate and respiratory rate were also lower in group A. Moreover use of rescue analgesia was significantly lower in group A. CONCLUSION: Wound infiltration with tramadol is a good choice for post operative analgesia in children undergoing inguinal herniotomy and orchidopexy. JMS 2011;14(2):52-55

Setting: This study was conducted in Emergency department (ED)of Combined Military Hospital, Lahore. Period: From 1st April 2008 to 31 July 2009. Patients and Method: A Total of 100 patients presentingin emergency department with a clinical diagnosis of renal and Ureteric colic were studied. They were randomly divided in to equal andcomparable groups, Group A & B. Severity of pain was assessed using a Visual Analogue scale (VAS). Group A was treated with IntravenousNelbuphine 10mg and group B was given intramuscular Diclofenac Sodium 75mg. Assessment of Pain relief, both onset and complete responsewas assessed in both groups. In addition to the pain relief, side effects like Nausea, vomiting, respiratory depression, drowsiness and injectionsite pain were also assessed. Results: Nelbuphine was found significantly superior (p=0.05) to Diclofenac, both for time of onset of pain reliefand complete pain relief. Moreover less patients required rescue analgesia in Group A (p=0.05). Only one patient treated with Group A hadrespiratory depression which was statistically insignificant (p=0.05). There was a 3.5% increase in Nausea and vomiting in Nelbuphine treatedpatients. Conclusion: Nelbuphine is a safe and rapid acting Opioid with few side effects. It should be preferred over Diclofenac sodium intreatment of Acute Renal pain.

Adequate post operative analgesia in children provides satisfactory psychological objective of this study was to compare the post operative analgesia requirement and child satisfaction between two groups, general anaesthesia(GA) alone and GA in combination with penile nerve block. This prospective randomized study was conducted in 50 children aged 6 to 14 years, who underwent circumcision. The boys were randomly allocated into two groups. Group A (n = 25) received GA with Single shot ketamin 2mg/kg IV plus midazolam 0.1 mg/kg and dorsal penile nerve block at the base of penis prior to circumcision with and Group B (n = 25) received GA with ketamine 2mg/kg IV plus midazolam 0.1 mg/kg plus halothane by laryngeal mask. Severity of pain was assessed quantitatively by children’s hospital eastern Ontario pain scale (CHEOPS). The pain intensity was assessed at one hour A1 in group A and B1 for group B and at two hour A2 for group A and B2 for group B during postoperatively period for two hours. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS method. The post operative analgesia was satisfactory with CHEOPS score 6 or <6 in group A 1. In group A 2 twenty two out of twenty five cases had CHEOPS score <6.Where as in group B1 and B2 it was > 6 .Which was statistically 100% significant. In conclu­sion, combined penile nerve block in combination with intravenous ketamine plus midazolam is the satisfactory method of Post operative pain management in children undergoing circumcision.

Background: Achieving satisfactory post-operative analgesia with neuraxial administration of narcotics has been the subject of much research. The use of epidural opioids had become an increasingly popular technique for management of acute post-operative pain in recent times. This study evaluates post-operative analgesic benefits in patients administered epidural butorphanol, nalbuphine, and fentanyl as adjuvants with local anesthetics postoperatively for surgery under epidural anesthesia.Methods: A total of 75 patients belonging to age groups 18-60 years who were scheduled for surgeries of lower abdomen were randomly divided into groups of 25 each. Epidural technique was adopted for surgery of the lower abdomen for all patients with 0.5% bupivacaine. In the post-operative period, the study drug was given through epidural catheter. Group A received butorphanol 2 mg, Group B received fentanyl 100 μg, and Group C received nalbuphine 10 mg with 0.125% bupivacaine diluted to 10 ml in normal saline each. Onset, duration, quality of analgesia, hemodynamic changes, and side effects – such as sedation, pruritus, nausea, vomiting, respiratory depression, and urinary retention - were recorded and compared.Results: The demographic data were comparable in all three groups. The onset of sensory block was significantly earlier in Group B (fentanyl) than other two groups. Duration was significantly longer in Group A (butorphanol). No serious cardiorespiratory side effects were noted in any of groups.Conclusion: Fentanyl produces the faster onset of analgesia with adverse effects like pruritus. Butorphanol administered epidurally has the advantage of longer duration of analgesia than fentanyl or epidural nalbuphine with side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and sedation.Keywords: Epidural analgesia, Butorphanol, Fentanyl, Nalbuphine.

1. The effects of timolol alone and in combination with a fixed dose of hydrochlorothiazide and amiloride have been studied in a double-blind, controlled study in fifty-four patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension. 2. After a 4 weeks placebo period patients were randomly assigned to enter groups receiving timolol alone (group A), hydrochlorothiazide + amiloride (group B) or timolol + hydrochlorothiazide + amiloride (group C). Each treatment was carried out for 6 weeks. 3. The use of timolol (10 mg), hydrochlorothiazide (25 mg) and amiloride (2·5 mg) in a combination tablet given twice daily gave better control of blood pressure in patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension than did equivalent dosages of timolol alone or of hydrochlorothiazide and amiloride. 4. Clinical and laboratory side effects were minimal.

Background: Standard four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard in the treatment of gall stones. Modified epigastric port laparoscopic cholecystectomy may be considered an alternative, as this procedure maintains the advantages of four ports and does not require any special set of instruments. In this study we aimed to see whether this procedure is comparable to the standard four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy based on the primary objectives of postoperative pain score, degree of ambulation, time to return to normal activities.Methods: Consecutive patients due to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy, meeting all the predefined criteria were recruited into the study. The group A was assigned to receive intervention in the form of modified epigastric port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The group B was assigned to receive intervention in the form of standard four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients in group A were compared with patients in group B based on multiple pre-defined parameters.Results: Pain scores were significantly better in group A. Degree of ambulation at was significantly better in group A. In respect to the time to resumption of normal activities there was no significant difference between the two groups. When comparing the quality life at 1 month following surgery with SF-36 health survey, the patients in group A did better than patients in group B with respect to the six scales. Conclusions: Modified epigastric port laparoscopic cholecystectomy appears to be significantly better than the standard four port cholecystectomy in terms of postoperative recovery.

Intrathecal Clonidine

Background: Regional anesthesia techniques for gynecological procedures are on increasing trends due to their advantage of postoperative analgesia owing to intrathecal adjuvants. The present study was aimed to comparatively evaluate the clinical efficacy of clonidine with nalbuphine when co-administered intrathecally with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine for Lower abdominal surgeries in Gynecology. Methods: With institutional ethics committee clearance No. 193MC/EC/2018, randomized, double blind study was conducted. After obtaining informed written consent total of 84 patients scheduled for lower abdominal surgeries were randomly allocated into two groups: Group A (n=42) - Inj.  3.5 ml Bupivacaine 0.5% + 0.2 ml Clonidine(30µg) intrathecally.  Group B (n=42) - Inj.3.5 ml Bupivacaine 0.5%+0.2 ml Nalbuphine(2mg) intrathecally. The characteristics of sensory and motor block, hemodynamic data, side effects were recorded. Results: The onset of sensory block was earlier in Group B than Group A (3.08±0.52 min vs 4.00±0.54 min, p<0.001 ). The onset of motor block was also earlier in Group B than Group A (7.78±0.80 min vs 8.80±0.95min, p<0.001). The time to first rescue analgesia in patients receiving intrathecal clonidine was significantly delayed than patients receiving intrathecal nalbuphine (284.95 ± 12.93 min vs 211.52 ± 15.92 min, p<0.001). Introperative hemodynamic changes were comparable and none of the patient suffered from respiratory depression except very little cases of shivering which are not significant. Conclusions: Intrathecal clonidine as adjuvant to bupivacaine provided was clinically more effective than nalbuphine for prolonging the duration of analgesia for gynecological procedures.

Objectives: To compare the efficacy of tramadol and 0.25% bupivacaine versus 0.25% bupivacaine alone for brachial plexus block. Study Design: Randomized controlled study. Setting: Orthopedic department of Nishtar Medical University/Hospital Multan. Period: The study duration was Jan-2018 to Aug-2018. Material and Methods: 148 patients planned for with upper limb orthopedic procedures under BPB in the department of orthopedics department Nishtar Hospital Multan were included in this analysis. To Patients were randomly divided into two equal groups by lottery method. Group A patients were given solution with 38 ml 0.25% bupivacaine with 100 mg tramadol 2 ml and group B were given solution with 38 ml 0.25% bupivacaine and 2 ml 0.9 % normal saline. Time of onset of block and its duration and need for rescue analgesics were noted. Results: Time of onset of block was 14.56+1.01 minutes in group A versus 15.96+1.64 minutes in group B (p-value <0.001). Mean analgesia duration was 355.85+42.18 minutes in group A versus 310.47+38.79 minutes in group B (p-value <0.001). There were 51 (68.9%) patients in group A who required rescue analgesia and 68 (91.9%) patients in group B required rescue analgesia (p-value 0.004). Conclusion: We concluded that the addition of tramadol as adjunct to bupivacaine for BPB significantly shortens the duration of onset, prolongs the duration of analgesia and reduces the need for rescue analgesics.

Objective: Our aim is comparison of hemodynamic status and complications between two different doses of intramyometrial vasopressin during laparoscopic myomectomy. Methods: We did a retrospective analysis of hemodynamic status and its anesthetic concerns in patients who received two different doses of intramyometrial vasopressin. Eighty patients undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy under general anesthesia were divided into two groups of 40 patients in each group. In Group A (n=40), 10 units of intramyometrial vasopressin in 200 ml of normal saline were given and, in Group B, 20 units of intramyometrial vasopressin in 200 ml of NS were given intraoperatively by surgeon. Results: 20 units intramyometrial vasopressin used dogmatically by surgeons drops blood loss but it is connected with cardiovascular impediments. Hence, 10 units of intramyometrial vasopressin as compared to 20 units which are used by some surgeons are associated with similar blood loss and lesser side effects such as bradycardia, pulmonary edema, hypotension, blood loss, and increased airway pressure. Conclusion: Hence, anesthesiologists and gynecologists must take the precautions to escape and minimize the frequency of impediments with intramyometrial vasopressin by selecting the appropriate dosage of vasopressin.

Background: Abdominal hysterectomy is often a long duration procedure and warrants intense pain relief in the post-operative period. Dexmedetomidine when added to bupivacaine in subarachnoid block prolongs the duration of surgical anaesthesia, decreases blood loss and prolongs duration of post-operative pain relief. Aims and Objective: To compare two different doses dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to bupivacaine in sub-arachnoid block in abdominal hysterectomy surgeries. Materials and Methods: 60 patients of age group 30-60 years posted for elective abdominal hysterectomies under American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) physical classification I or II were randomly allocated into 2 groups of 30 each. Group A received 5 micrograms (μg) of dexmedetomidine along with 3.5 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine in sub-arachnoid block. Group B received 10 μg of dexmedetomidine along with 3.5 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine in sub-arachnoid block. Changes in blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, ephedrine consumption, blood loss, duration of sensory block, duration of motor block, duration of analgesia were compared between two groups. Results: There was no significant difference in change in heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, duration of sensory block, duration of motor block between two groups. Patients in group B had significant decrease in blood pressure, blood loss and significant increase in ephedrine consumption compared to Group A. The duration of analgesia was also prolonged in group B compared to Group A. Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine in dose of 10 μg is a better adjuvant to bupivacaine for abdominal hysterectomy surgeries.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.8(2) 2017 59-63
