BACKGROUND: Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) placement is now considered a common airway management practice. Although there are many studies which focus on various airway techniques, research regarding difficult LMA placement is limited, particularly for anesthesiologist trainees OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) placement after induction with propofol or thiopentone in one hundred day case urological patients. METHODS: An analytical, non interventional, cross sectional comparative study. Patients were divided into Group A (Propofol Group n=50) received propofol (2.5mg/kg) and Group B (Thiopentone group n=50) received thiopentone sodium (4-6 mg/kg) IV. Management of anaesthesia was identical in both groups. Standard monitoring was including NIBP, pulse oxymetery and ECG was done. Co-induction with done with midazolam 0.1 mg/kg body weight. LMA was inserted after adequate level of anaesthesia and then assessed. The presence of gaging, coughing, laryngospasm and movement were noted , recorded by a colleague anaesthetist who entered the induction room during the two minutes assisted ventilation phase and was not aware of the type of induction agent. Statistical analysis was done by using SPSS version 10. The mean and standard deviation was calculated for age. Frequency of subjects was calculated for gender Lund and stovner assessment scheme. The p value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: Thiopentone was associated with an adverse response in 76% of patients, compared with propofol in 26% (p<0.01). Head movement, Laryngospasm, inadequate jaw relaxation were more common using thiopentone (p<0.05). The quality of anaesthesia according to patients was significantly higher in the propofol group (Group A, 80%) than in thiopentone group (Group B, 30%). CONCLUSION: Adverse responses in Group A were less than Group B. Propofol, therefore is superior to thiopentone as an induction agent for laryngeal mask airway.

Insertion Condition

Background: Successful insertion of Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) requires sufficient depth of anesthesia and depression of airway reflexes to avoid gagging, coughing and laryngeal spasm. The LMA is popular because it is easy to insert and it provides a secure airway for the patients who breathe spontaneously. Indeed, the intravent LMA instruction manual specifically recommends propofol for induction of anesthesia during LMA insertion. As a matter of fact Propofol and LMA insertion has become synonymous. However, there are some problems related to the use of propofol, for example, relatively high cost. This observational study was conducted to compare efficacy and safety of propofol and thiopentone -midazolam in smooth insertion of LMA and the hemodynamic changes over time in both groups. Methods: The study was done in the Department of Anesthesiology, Chittagong Medical College from July, 2012 to December, 2013. All the patients scheduled for elective surgical procedures under general anesthesia fulfilling the inclusion criteria, were the study population. Data was analyzed by computer based software SPSS-21. Results: Overall LMA insertion condition was improved better by the use of midazolam with thiopentone sodium (Group B) than propofol (Group A). The drug regime used in group A (Propofol) was expensive than group B (midazolam with thiopentone sodium) with indifferent hemodynamic stability in both groups. Mean ages of patients were 32.43 years ± SD- 10.67 years in group A and 33.5 years ± SD- 10.63 years in group B. Conclusion: In the perspective of our study, for smooth insertion of LMA midazolam-thiopentone sodium regime is cheaper and can be effectively and safely used over propofol regime.

Background: In case of general anesthesia, airway maintenance along with least complications is the most important goal of team of anesthesiologists. In case of clinical practice, the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) devices have superiority in managing supraglottic airway. Recently i-gel airway has been introduced as supraglottic airway equipment (disposable). Aim: To make comparison between laryngeal mask and I-gel with respect to postoperative complication of sore throat in case of patients who were given general anesthesia. Study design: Randomized trial Setting: Anesthesia Department Study duration: 6 after synopsis approval in total 6months of duration Methods: Candidates were divided randomly divided into two groups. In case of members of group A, patients were given i-gel where as members of group B, disposable LMA was given. General anesthesia was administered according to the standardized protocols. A day after operation, candidates were check post operatively for 24 hours, for sore throat and information was documented on Performa. Results: The candidates mean age was 44.23±15.11years in case of i-gel group members whereas 46.10±15.56 years in case of LMA group. In case of i-gel group, there were about twenty five males members and thirty five were females members . In case of LMA group members, there were about twenty six males and thirty four female members . In present case research, sore throat postoperatively was seen in case of 17(14.2%) cases, i.e. 4 (6.7%) in i-gel group while 13(21.7%) in case of LMA group. The significant difference was witnessed between members of both groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Thus i-gel is better than LMA for general anesthesia as it has fewer chances of side effects like postoperative sore throat.

This study was conducted in the Department of Anesthesiology, Holy Family Hospital Rawalpindi from 5 October 2011 to 5 April 2012 after approval of hospital ethics committee. Three hundred and eighteen patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected in the study by non-probability consecutive sampling after taking informed written consent. Patients between the ages of 20 to 40 years were included, belonging to ASA class I and II, requiring General Anesthesia with Laryngeal Mask Airway for different surgical procedures. They were divided into two equal groups by computer generated random numbers. Group A comprised of one hundred and fifty eight patients in whom intravenous propofol was given for induction of anesthesia and Laryngeal mask insertion. Group B comprised of one hundred and fifty eight patients in whom inhalational induction with sevoflurane was done for Laryngeal mask insertion. Conduct of anesthesia was maintained similar in both groups. Cough and gag reflexes were observed in both groups at the time of Laryngeal mask insertion. Drug under study was said to be effective, if it is associated with no cough and gag reflex during Laryngeal mask insertion. All the data was analyzed by SPSS version 15. It was observed that 6.3% patients of group A (propofol) had positive cough reflex as compare to 13.2%% patients of group B (sevoflurane). The difference was statistically significant (p=0.038). While the incidence of gag reflex in group A was 8.2% and group B was 14.5%. But the difference was not found to be statistically significant (p=0.077). Propofol is more effective than sevoflurane for smooth LMA insertion during elective surgeries.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jcmc.v5i1.12562

Objectives: Role of niacin in decreasing cardiovascular accidents by lowering the levels of Apo-B in hyperlipidemic patients. Background: In hyperlipidemia, there are high levels of atherogenic lipoproteins leading to higher risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events. Patients with dyslipidemia use statins as a mainstay of therapy over last many decades. Recent studies show that apolipoproteins play a major role in formation of atheromatous plaque, thus there is an urgent need to study the effects of lipid lowering medication on apolipoprotiens levels. Study Design: Cross sectional analytical study. Setting: Sheikh Zayed Hospital Lahore (Department of Biochemistry and Chemical Pathology). Period: 12 weeks from July to Sep 2014. Materials and Methods: Recently diagnosed hyperlipidemic patients (n=44) were selected for the study purpose and divided into two equal groups; A and B. Each group was given different medication. Group A took only statin while group B took a combination of statin and niacin. Blood samples were taken at the start of medication and then after completion of 12 week time period. Results: At the start of the treatment there was no significant difference in the Apo B cholesterol level between the two groups (p value 0.972). However, after the end of 12 week duration, there was a significant reduction in the Apo level of group B taking statin and niacin as compared to group A taking statin alone (p value 0.003). Conclusions: Niacin has cardio-protective role when used in combination with niacin.

System Objective

Background Laryngeal mask airway insertion causes less changes of haemodynamic parameters. As haemodynamic changes during laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation as result of intense stimulation of sympathetic nerves system. Objective To find out the effective airway management by LMA during controlled ventilation, to avoid laryngoscopic and intubation induced haemodynamic changes and to avoid laryngospasm and bronchospasm. Method A total number of 100 patients ASA grade I & II were selected randomly as per inclusion and exclusion criteria in two groups. Fifty in each group. In group A used LMA and in group B used ETT during general anaesthesia in intermediate duration of gynaecological operation. Pulse,NIBP,SpO2 were recorded in perioperatively. Result Pulse, blood pressure were significant between the two groups (p<0.00) but in SpO2 was insignificant except in 2 min of intraoperative which was significant. (p<0.013). Conclusion LMA insertion causes less changes of haemodynamic parameters when compared with that of ET intubation. Our finding suggests that LMA can be safe and beneficial alternative to ETT.
