Background: Government of Nepal has been conducting Cesarean section under “Safe Motherhood” program all over country. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intrathecal morphine for post cesarean analgesia under spinal anesthesia.  Methods: A total of 300 parturients posted for Cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were divided into two groups of 150 each in this prospective randomized case-control study. Morphine group received 0.15 mg of intrathecal morphine mixed in 12 mg of 0.5% bupivacaine heavy while control group received 12 mg of 0.5% bupivacaine heavy alone, after proper preparation of spinal anesthesia. The parturients were assessed for first request of analgesic as per Visual Analog Scale, frequency of analgesics required within 24 hr, nausea, vomiting, pruritus, sedation and respiratory depression.Results: Postoperative analgesia was significantly greater in morphine group as compare to control group (12.1 ± 7.6 vs 3.7 ± 2.9 hr). Frequency of analgesics requirements was also significantly lower in morphine group (1.7 ± 2.0 vs 3.4 ± 8.1). Visual Analog Scale was below 4 at most of time in morphine group. The incidence of nausea, vomiting and pruritus were more in morphine group as compare to control group but without any respiratory depression. There was no significant difference in APGAR score among fetus.  Conclusion: Mixing low dose of intrathecal morphine in standard dose of spinal anesthesia effectively prolongs the duration of post cesarean analgesia and decreases the frequency of analgesics requirement without any major complication in parturients or fetus.Journal of Society of Anesthesiologists 2014 1(1): 13-17

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of inhalation of eucalyptus oil and its constituents on anxiety in patients before selective nerve root block (SNRB). This study was a randomized controlled trial carried out in 62 patients before SNRB. The patients were randomized to inhale limonene, 1,8-cineole, or eucalyptus oil, each at concentrations of 1% vol/vol in almond oil or almond oil (control). Anxiety-visual analog scale (A-VAS), state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI), profile of mood states (POMS), pain-visual analog scale (P-VAS), blood pressure, and pulse rate were measured before and after inhalation prior to SNRB. Measures of anxiety, including A-VAS (P<0.001), STAI (P=0.005), and POMS (P<0.001), were significantly lower in 1,8-cineole than in the control group and significantly greater in 1,8-cineole than in the eucalyptus group in A-VAS. P-VAS was significantly lower after than before inhalation of limonene, 1,8-cineole, and eucalyptus, despite having no significant difference in the four groups compared with control group. 1,8-Cineole, a major constituent of eucalyptus, was effective in decreasing anxiety before SNRB. The present findings suggest that inhalation of 1,8-cineole may be used to relieve anxiety before, during, and after various operations, in addition to SNRB.

Objectives. To evaluate the effectiveness of intradermal buffered lidocaine as analgesia before intravenous line (IV) placement in children. Methods. This was a randomized clinical trial undertaken in the emergency department (ED) of a regional children's hospital. Participants were children 8 to 15 years old, seen in the ED and in need of IV lines. They were enrolled by three ED nurses. Participants were randomized to receive either intradermal buffered lidocaine or no analgesia. Before placement of the IV line, patients recorded the amount of pain they were in (baseline pain) on a visual analog pain scale. The primary outcome measure was amount of pain caused by the initial IV attempt, even if that attempt was unsuccessful. This was recorded by the participant on a visual analog scale. Demographic characteristics, the number of attempts to successful placement, and the time required to place the IV line were also recorded. Differences in pain of initial IV attempt and time to place the IV line were evaluated with the Mann-Whitney U test. Differences in success of IV line placement were evaluated with the χ2 test. Results. Fifty-nine patients completed the study. Thirty received buffered lidocaine, and 29 received no analgesia before IV line placement. There was no significant difference between the two groups with regard to baseline pain or demographic characteristics. The median level of pain of the initial IV attempt as measured by the visual analog scale was 2.3 in the buffered-lidocaine group and 4.4 in the no-lidocaine group. Thirty-three percent of patients in the lidocaine group and 28% percent in the no-lidocaine group required more than one IV attempt. The median time to IV line placement was 10 minutes in the lidocaine group and 6 minutes in the no-lidocaine group. Conclusions. Use of intradermal buffered lidocaine is an effective way to diminish the pain of IV line placement in children 8 to 15 years of age. There was no difference in IV success rate in this study; however, larger numbers of patients would be required to detect statistically significant differences. We recommend the routine use of intradermal buffered lidocaine for analgesia before IV line placement in older children in all but emergent situations.

Background A comparison of the two methods of corticosteroid (triamcinolone) use in reducing supratip edema (pollybeak deformity) after rhinoplasty. Methods Ninety patients who were candidates for rhinoplasty were randomly divided into three groups. Group A received no treatment, group B received 8 mg/mL of triamcinolone, and group C received 16 mg/mL of triamcinolone. Their effects on dorsal edema were evaluated by using the patients' and surgeons' visual analog scale scores. Also, dorsal edema was measured by using photo editing software. Results There was no significant difference in the patients' characteristics in the study groups. The surgeons' visual analog scale scores were significantly better in those patients who received triamcinolone injection than in the control group (p = 0.02). However, none of the other assessment methods showed significant differences among the study groups. There was no significant difference between the two evaluated concentrations. Conclusion Triamcinolone injection had positive temporary effects on reducing supratip edema without any important complications.

Abstract The aim of the study was to demonstrate if 2% lidocaine hydrochloride with 1 : 200,000 epinephrine could provide palatal anesthesia in maxillary tooth removal with a single buccal injection. The subjects included in the clinical study were those requiring extraction of the maxillary third molar of either side. For the purpose of comparison, the sample was randomly divided into 2 main groups: group 1 (study group) included 100 subjects who were to receive a single injection before extraction, and group 2 (control group) included 100 subjects who were to receive a single buccal injection and a single palatal injection before extraction. After 5 minutes the extraction was performed. All patients were observed for Faces Pain Scale during extraction and asked for the same on a 100-mm visual analog scale after extraction. According to visual analog scale and Faces Pain Scale scores, when maxillary third molar removal without palatal injection (study group) and with palatal injection (control group) were compared the difference was not statistically significant (P &gt; .05). Removal of maxillary third molars without palatal injection is possible by depositing 2 mL of 2% lidocaine hydrochloride with 1 : 200,000 epinephrine to the buccal vestibule of the tooth.

Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh cryptherapy terhadap nyeri luka episiotomi pada pasien post partum hari pertama di Ruang V/VI RS. Dustira Cimahi. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian quasi eksperimental dengan pendekatan two groups pretest and posttest design. Sebanyak 88 pasien dipilih sebagai responden yang terbagi dalam dua kelompok menggunakan accidental sampling. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji statistik analisis univariat (berupa distribusi frekuensi, persentase dan mean dari setiap variabel), analisis bivariat (paired t test, independent t test), dan analisis multivariat (uji ancova). Hasil: Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan rerata skor nyeri antara skor sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan intervensi cryotherapy pada kelompok intervensi (pretest 4,86±0,930 dan posttest 3,59±0,844). Pada kelompok kontrol juga terjadi penurunan skor nyeri setelah dilakukan relaksasi autogenik (pretest 4,86±0,930 dan posttest 4,82±1,040) namun peningkatan ini tidak signifikan. Terdapat perbedaan bermakna selisih skor nyeri kelompok intervensi dengan kelompok kontrol (p = 0,000). Tidak adanya pengaruh dominan yang signifikan (p > 0,005) dari masing-masing karakteristik responden (usia, skor cemas dan riwayat episiotomi sebelumnya) terhadap skala nyeri posttest kelompok intervensi. Secara umum hasil penelitian ini menemukan ada pengaruh cryotherapy terhadap tingkat nyeri luka episiotomy dibandingkan dengan relaksasi autogenik. Diskusi: Disarankan kepada pasien post partum yang mengalami luka nyeri episiotomy agar menggunakan tehni cryotherapy mulai hari pertama post partum, rutin dilakukan dua hari sekali (pagi dan sore) untuk mempercepat penurunan skala nyeri.   Kata Kunci: cryotherapy, nyeri luka episiotomi, post partum   ABSTRACT Introduction: Pain is the highest complaint felt by a patient with episiotomy injury causing a decrease in the mother's ability to perform bounding attachment to her baby. Safe and less side effect interventions that aimed to reduce pain of episiotomy wound become necessary. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of cryptherapy on the pain of episiotomy wound in first day postpartum patient in Room V / VI RS. Dustira Cimahi. Method: This research uses quasi experimental research method with approach of two groups pretest and posttest design. A total of 88 patients were selected as respondents who were divided into two groups using accidental sampling. Data were analyzed using univariate statistic test (frequency distribution, percentage and mean of each variable), bivariate analysis (paired t test, independent t test), and multivariate analysis (ancova test). Results: This study indicates that there is a difference in the mean score of pain between before and after cryotherapy intervention in the intervention group (pretest 4.86 ± 0.930 and posttest 3.59 ± 0.844). There is different in pain score after the autogenic relaxation in control group (pretest 4.86 ± 0.930 and posttest 4.82 ± 1.040) yet the increament is not statistically significant. There was a significant difference in intervention group pain score with control group (p = 0,000). There is no significant influence (p> 0.005) of each respondent characteristic (age, anxiety score and previous episiotomy history) on the posttest pain scale of the intervention group. In general, the results of this study found no effect of cryotherapy on the level of episiotomy wound pain compared with autogenic relaxation. Discussion: It is advisable for postpartum patients with episiotomy pain to use cryotherapy from the first day of post partum, routinely done every other day (morning and afternoon) to accelerate the decrease of pain scale. Keywords: cryotherapy, episiotomy wound pain, post partum
