INTRODUCTION: Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed surgery in the elderly patients. Regional anesthesia is safe, reliable, provide adequate akinesia and analgesia of the eye, a good postoperative pain relief and a shorter hospital stay. The various regional anesthetic techniques used in ophthalmic surgeries are peribulbar block, retrobulbar block, sub tenon's block, subconjunctival block and topical corneo-conjunctival anesthesia. Due to its safer approach, the peribulbar block is most commonly. Addition of an opioid like fentanyl to the anesthetic preparation will provide a faster onset of lid and globe akinesia, faster onset of sensory blockade, increase the duration of analgesia and reduce the need for rescue analgesia postoperatively. AIM OF THE STUDY: To evaluate the effect of addition of fentanyl to the local anesthetic mixture in peribulbar block in cataract surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was done in the Department of Anesthesiology in collaboration with the Department of Ophthalmology in Kanyakumari Government Medical College from January 2019 to December 2019. Patient posted for cataract surgery were allocated into two groups by randomization (30 each). Group S – 4ml of 2% lignocaine with adrenaline premixed with hyaluronidase + 1ml of 0.5% Bupivacaine + 0.5ml normal saline. Group F – 4ml of 2% lignocaine with adrenaline premixed with hyaluronidase + 1ml of 0.5% Bupivacaine + 25 mcg Fentanyl (0.5 ml). The Parameters related to the study such as Onset of lid akinesia, Onset of globe akinesia, Onset of sensory blockade, Duration of analgesia by VAS score, Level of sedation by Ramsay sedation score, vital parameters – SpO , pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and any 2 Complications were recorded. RESULTS: We found that the demographic parameters were comparable and statistically insignicant. The preoperative hemodynamic parameters like the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, SpO2, respiratory rate were statistically insignicant and comparable. The mean onset of lid akinesia was 5.8 ± 1.76 mins and 3.13 ± 1.25 mins in Group S and Group F respectively. The mean onset of globe akinesia was found to be 7.46 ± 2.22 mins and 4.2 ± 1.60 mins in Group S and Group F respectively. The mean onset of sensory blockade was 6.8 ± 1.24 mins and 4.93 ± 1.63 mins in Group S and Groups F respectively. Thus the onset of globe and lid akinesia and the onset of sensory blockade was faster in Group F compared to Group S. The mean VAS scores were statistically signicant (P<0.001) between both the groups at 1 hour, 1.5 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour, 6 hour postoperatively and it was found that Group F has a lower VAS score when compared with Group S. The VAS score at 8 hour and 10 hours postoperatively were statistically insignicant (p>0.05) in both the groups. The mean duration of analgesia was 4.56 ± 1.65 hours in Group S and 7.63 ± 2.55 hours in Group F and was found to be statistically signicant(P<0.001). CONCLUSION: Based on this study, we can conclude that there is a faster onset in the lid akinesia, globe akinesia, in the onset of sensory blockade and a substantial increase in the duration of analgesia when fentanyl is used as an additive along with the local anesthetic mixture in peribulbar block for cataract surgery

Background:Music therapy is based on ancient cross-cultural beliefs that music can have a “healing” effect on mind and body. Research determined that listening to music can increase comfort and relaxation, relieve pain, lower distress, reduce anxiety, improve positive emotions and mood, and decrease psychological symptoms. Music therapy has been used greatly in various medical procedures to reduce associated anxiety and pain. Patients have a high level of anxiety when they are in the hospital, this is the case of patients with rheumatic diseases who consult regularly to have intravenous infusion of biological therapies.Objectives:The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of music therapy on pain, anxiety, and vital signs among patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases during intravenous infusion of biological drugs.Methods:Fifty patients were divided into two groups: The experimental group G1 (n=25) received drug infusion while lestening to soft music (30 minutes); and the control group G2 (n=25) received only drug infusion. Measures include pain, anxiety, vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate). The pain was measured using visual analogic scale (VAS). The state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) was used for measuring anxiety, low anxiety ranges from 20 to 39, the moderate anxiety ranges from 40 to 59, and high anxiety ranges from 60 to 80. Vital signs (systolic blood pressure [SBP], diastolic blood pressure [DBP], heart rate [HR], and respiratory rate [RR]) were measured before, during and immediately after the infusion.Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) was used for analysis.Results:The mean age in G1 was 44.45 years (26-72) with a sex ratio (M/F) of 0.8. Including the 25 patients, 12 had rheumatoid arthritis, 10 had ankylosing spondylitis and 3 had psoriatic arthritis. The mean disease duration was 8 years. In G2, the mean age was 46 years (25-70) with a sex ratio (M/F) of 0.75, 12 had rheumatoid arthritis, 11 had ankylosing spondylitis and 2 had psoriatic arthritis. The mean disease duration was 7.5 years. The biological drugs used were: Infliximab in 30 cases, Tocilizumab in 12 cases and Rituximab in 8 cases.Before the infusion, the patients of experimental group had a mean VAS of 5/10±3, a mean STAI of 50.62±6.01, a mean SBP of 13.6 cmHg±1.4, a mean DBP of 8.6 cmHg±1, a mean HR of 85±10 and a mean RR of 18±3. While in control group the mean VAS was 5.5±2, the mean STAI was 50.89±5.5, the mean SBP was 13.4±1.2, the mean DBP was 8.8±1.1, the mean HR was 82±8 and the mean RR was 19±2.During the infusion and after music intervention in G1, the mean STAI became 38.35±5 in G1 versus 46.7±5.2 in G2 (p value=0.022), the mean SBP became 12.1±0.5 in G1 versus 13±1 in G2 (p=0.035), the mean DBP became 8.1±0.8 in G1 versus 8.4±0.9 in G2 (p=0.4), the mean HR became 76±9 in G1 versus 78±7 in G2 (p=0.04) and the mean RR became 17.3±2.1 in G1 versus 18.2±1.7 in G2 (p=0.39).This study found a statistically significant decrease in anxiety, systolic blood pressure and heart rate in patients receiving music interventions during biological therapies infusion, but no significant difference were identified in diastolic blood pressure and respiratory rate.Conclusion:The findings provide further evidence to support the use of music therapy to reduce anxiety, and lower systolic blood pressure and heart rate in patients with rheumatic disease during biological therapies infusion.References:[1] Lin, C., Hwang, S., Jiang, P., & Hsiung, N.

Background Blood pressure (BP) monitoring with arterial waveform display requires an arterial cannula. We evaluated a new noninvasive device, Vasotrac (Medwave, Arden Hills, MN) that provides BP measurements approximately every 12-15 beats and displays pulse rate and a calibrated arterial waveform for each BP measurement. Methods Surgical and critically ill patients (n = 80) served as subjects for the study. BPs, pulse waveforms, and pulse rates measured via a radial artery catheter were compared with those obtained by the Vasotrac from the opposite radial artery. Data were analyzed to determine agreement between the two systems of measurement. Results Blood pressure measured noninvasively by the Vasotrac demonstrated excellent correlation (P&lt;0.01) with BP measured via a radial arterial catheter (systolic r2 = 0.93; diastolic r2 = 0.89; mean r2 = 0.95). Differences in BP measured by the Vasotrac versus the radial arterial catheter were small. The mean+/-SD bias and precision were as follows: systolic BP 0.02+/-5.4 mm Hg and 3.9+/-3.7 mm Hg; diastolic BP -0.39+/-3.9 mm Hg and 2.7+/-2.8 mm Hg; mean BP -0.21+/-3.0 mm Hg and 2.1+/-2.2 mm Hg compared with radial artery measurements. The Vasotrac pulse rates were almost identical to those measured directly (r2 = 0.95). The Vasotrac BP waveform resembled those directly obtained radial artery pulsatile waveforms. Conclusions In surgical and critically ill patients, the Vasotrac measured BP, pulse rate, and displayed radial artery waveform, which was similar to direct radial arterial measurements. It should be a suitable device to measure BP frequently in a noninvasive fashion.

Consistent vital sign monitoring is critically important for early detection of clinical deterioration of patients in hospital settings. Mostly, nurses routinely measure and document the primary vital signs of all patients 2‐3 times daily to assess their condition. To reduce nurse workload and thereby improve quality of patient care, a smart vital sign monitor named “Vital‐SCOPE” for simultaneous measurement of vital signs was developed. Vital-SCOPE consists of multiple sensors, including a reflective photo sensor, thermopile, and medical radar, to be used in simultaneous pulse rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature monitoring within 10 s. It was tested in laboratory and hospital settings. Bland-Altman and Pearson’s correlation analyses were used to compare the Vital-SCOPE results to those of reference measurements. The mean difference of the respiratory rate between respiratory effort belt and Vital-SCOPE was 0.47 breaths per minute with the 95% limit of agreement ranging from −7.4 to 6.5 breaths per minute. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient was 0.63 (P<0.05). Moreover, the mean difference of the pulse rate between electrocardiogram and Vital-SCOPE was 3.4 beats per minute with the 95% limit of agreement ranging from −13 to 5.8 beats per minute; the Pearson’s correlation coefficient was 0.91 (P<0.01), indicating strong linear relationship.

Background: Some studies have reported the effect of nitroglycerin on the reduction of pain after surgery. Objectives: The primary goal of the current study was to evaluate the addition of nitroglycerin (as a nitric oxide donor) to morphine in patient-controlled analgesia. Besides, its effects on the reduction of pain and stability in hemodynamic indices after abdominal surgery are also investigated. Methods: The current study was performed on 60 patients as candidates for abdominal surgery. Morphine (0.75 mg/mL) and nitroglycerin plus morphine (morphine 0.5 mg/mL + TNG 15 μg/mL) infusions were used for control and case groups, respectively, with the same induction of anesthesia. The severity of postoperative pain, hemodynamic indices of systolic blood pressure, diastolic pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and nausea were measured after surgery (immediately, 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery). Results: The pain score decreased for both groups almost similarly. The mean systolic blood pressure was highly reduced in both groups. However, the mean diastolic blood pressure in the control group was considerably lower than that of the case group. Besides, the respiratory rate in the case group dramatically diminished and approached the normal value. Conclusions: Combined administration of nitroglycerin and morphine had no synergistic effects on reducing postoperative pain. However, it led to more stable hemodynamic indices and improved breathing, without any side effects.

The objective of the present study was to access the comparative study different variables between athletes and non athletes of Kashmir division. Physical fitness is a dynamic concept and is continuously growing in its importance to everyday life and health. Although being an attribute that has a genetic basis, it is also sensitive to changes in type and amount of physical activity, mortality and injury. The criterion measures selected for the study were, Explosive Leg strength, Speed, Agility, Resting pulse rate, Blood pressure (Systolic and dia-Systolic),Breath holding capacity. The Mean, Standard deviation and T value of Athletes and Non-Athletes was calculated. The results showed significant difference between Athletes and Non-Athletes (p<0.005) in case of Explosive Leg strength, Speed, Agility, Resting pulse rate and Blood pressure (Systolic), but no significant difference between Breathing capacity and Diastolic Blood pressure of Athletes and Non-Athletes was observed. It is therefore concluded that the athletes are at higher levels of their physical and physiological fitness levels which enhance their performance in sports and also in daily life activities.

Background: Changes in blood pressure during subjects’ exercise are individually different. The reasons of these differences are unknown. Aim of the study: The aim of this paper is to investigate the rate of changes in cardiovascular system at rest and at physical load which enhance systolic blood pressure (SBP) = 200 mmHg in people with different physical performance. Material and methods: The studies included 18 soccer players and 14 students who do not practice any sport, whose age, body mass, body height and BMI have been similar, and who at baseline were measured systolic blood pressure (SBPr), diastolic blood pressure (DBPr) and heart rate (HRr). Then, the subjects performed exercise on a cycloergometer with increasing intensity in which at the level of the systolic blood pressure = 200 mm Hg (SBP200) were measured DBP200 and HR200. In terms of resting and exercise time the size of the mean arterial pressure (MAPr, MAP200), pulse pressure (PPr, PP200) and rate-pressure product (DPr, DP200) were calculated. Moreover the power achieved in PWC170 test (W and W/kg) and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) (ml/min and ml/min/kg) were also calculated. Results: Soccer players have reached a higher power in PWC170 and higher VO2max and lower HR200 and DP200 (p<0,001), as well as lower values of HRr (p<0,01) than students however SBP, DBP, MAP and PP registered during rest and during exercise did not differ between the groups. Among the players power reached at PWC170 (W) correlate negatively with DP200 – (p<0,05) and VO2max (ml/min; ml/min/kg) also correlated negatively with HRr (p<0,05, p<0,01). Among students power reached at PWC170 (W, W/kg) and VO2max (ml/min, ml/min/kg) correlate negatively with HR200 and DP200. Moreover VO2max (ml/min/kg) correlate negatively with HRr. Conclusions: Studies have shown that, despite differences in physical performance of both groups, there were no significant changes in blood pressure at rest or modified during exercise. However, at extremely high increase in SBP improved economization in function of the heart and circulatory system independent of the size of physical performance of the subjects were observed.

Gender Variations

<p class="1Body">The issue of variations in physiological indicators of wellbeing based on gender serves as incentive for natural landscape environment interactions. This study examined gender variations in blood pressure, pulse rate and respiratory rate between contact with low-altitude urban (pretest) and mountain landscape environments (posttest). To attain the goal of this study, 38 respondents (16 males, 22 females) participated in the seven-day experimental study. Pretest and posttest measures of blood pressure, pulse rate and respiratory rate were elicited from both male and female respondents at the urban environment within the first three days and at the mountain landscape environment the following three days. Results show that both male and female systolic blood pressure increased at the mountain landscape environment while their diastolic blood pressure reduced marginally. There was no difference in gender response in terms of pulse rate. Conversely, male respondents experienced reduction of respiratory rate at the mountain landscape environment while female respondents experienced increase. Findings suggest that the only apparent difference in gender response is in their respiratory rate. The extent to which gender might be related to physiological wellbeing through contact with natural mountain landscape environment is revealed. Hence, a platform is set for policy makers and governments for the creative harnessing of mountain landscape environments.</p>
