Background: Inhaling of gastric contents in lower respiratory tract and larynx results in developing of pulmonary aspiration. The acidity of aspirate contents and its volume determines severity of aspiration and is major cause of post-anesthetic mortality. Objective: To compare the effect of four drugs (ranitidine, IV ondansetron, metoclopramide, omeprazole and metoclopramide) in all possible four combinations, to decrease gastric fluid residual volume and gastric acidity in undergoing laparoscopic-cholecystectomy. Design: It was a clinical randomized trial. Study Settings: Trial was conducted at Department of Anesthesiology and ICU, Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore, for a period of 6 months from 01-07-2019 to 31-12-2019. Patients and Methods: A total of 308 patients from both the genders undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in this study. Four equal groups were made by random division of patients. Group A: ranitidine & ondansetron, group B: ranitidine & metoclopramide, group C: omeprazole & ondansetron and group D: omeprazole & metoclopramide. Pre-anesthetic medicine was given to all the patients two hours before surgery. For assessing volume of gastric fluid and its pH, an oro-gastric tube was passed. An informed written informed consent was taken from all the patients. Results: Mean age in this study was 36.40±9.15, 33.23±9.13, 36.82±9.37 and 36.57±9.49 years respectively for Group A,B,C and D. Aspirate had mean quantity of 12.56±5.60 ml/kg, 12.65±5.39 ml / kg, 13.68±5.76 ml/kg and 14.34±6.85 ml/kg and he aspirate mean pH was 2.56±0.55, 2.47±0.58, 2.51±0.57 and 2.45±0.58 respectively for group A,B,C and D. Among both the trial groups, this different was insignificant (p-value > 0.05) for both outcomes. Conclusion: All the drug combinations had no significant difference. However, comparatively less pH and volume of gastric fluid was shown by combination of ranitidine plus ondansetron. Therefore, this combination is recommended before general anesthesia for reducing gastric fluid aspirate in patients undergoing surgery. Keywords: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, Omeprazole, Ranitidine, Metoclopramide, Ondansetron, gastric fluid acidity, pH, gastric fluid volume

ABSTRACT Background: Elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy has very low risk for infectious complications, ranging the infection rate from 0.4% to 1.1%. Many surgeons still use routine antibiotic prophylaxis Aim: Evaluate the real impact of antibiotic prophylaxis in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomies in low risk patients. Method: Prospective, randomized and double-blind study. Were evaluated 100 patients that underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy divided in two groups: group A (n=50), patients that received prophylaxis using intravenous Cephazolin (2 g) during anesthetic induction and group B (n=50), patients that didn't receive any antibiotic prophylaxis. The outcome evaluated were infeccious complications at surgical site. The patients were reviewed seven and 30 days after surgery. Results: There was incidence of 2% in infection complications in group A and 2% in group B. There was no statistical significant difference of infectious complications (p=0,05) between the groups. The groups were homogeneous and comparable. Conclusion: The use of the antibiotic prophylaxis in laparoscopic cholecystectomy in low risk patients doesn't provide any significant benefit in the decrease of surgical wound infection.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a standard treatment for cholelithiasis. It is a safe and effective treatment in many cases. General anesthesia has a high incidence for PONV. But anti-emetic drugs can help in preventing PONV. Objectives: To compare the efficacy of ondansetron and metoclopramide in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: Department of Anaesthesia, Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore. Period: 6 months i.e. from 15-2-2017 to 15-8-2017. Material & Methods: The patients were divided into two groups. Ondansetron was given to group A patients within 15 minutes of induction, and metoclopramide to group B patients within 15 minutes of induction. Then patients were shifted to the ward after surgery and followed-up for 24 hours for assessment of PONV. All the data was entered and analyzed on SPSS version 20. Results: The mean age of patients in group A was 38.40±12.07 years and in group B was 42.63±11.77 years. The efficacy achieved in 53 were from group A and 39 were from group B Statistically significant difference was found between the study groups i.e. p-value=0.003. Conclusion: Ondansetron showed significantly better efficacy than metoclopramide in preventing PONV after laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia.

Objectives: The aim of our study which is to compare total intravenousanesthesia with target controlled infusion using the drugs Propofol and remifenatnil with thetechniques of volatile induction maintenance anesthesia using sevoflurane and sufentanil inpatients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure, at a tertiary care hospital inKarachi, Pakistan. Study Design: The type of study is a randomized control trial, conductedfor a period of 8 months Period: from June 2015 to January 2016 Setting: at a tertiary carehospital in Karachi Pakistan. Method: The patient population consisted of n=100 patientsbelonging to the ASA class I and II and undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure atour institute. The patients were divided into two groups group A consisted of all those patientswho underwent total intravenous anesthesia and group B consisted of patients who underwentvolatile induction maintenance anesthesia. Appropriate blinding measures were taken for thosewho were involved in the post-operative care of the patients, and the patients themselves. Duringthe procedure routine monitoring was done, data was recorded in a pre-designed proforma.Patients were analyzed in the post-operative period for side effects and pain levels. Statisticalanalysis was done using SPSS version 23, a p value of less than 0.05 was considered to bestatistically significant. Results: The patient population consisted of n= 100 patients dividedinto two groups. No statistically significant difference was found between the demographicvariables of the patients of both groups (age, weight, baseline values of blood pressure, heartrate, time duration of surgery and anesthesia). The time for the loss of corneal reflex was longerin the group A (109 +/- 90) as compared to group B (45 +/- 10) having a p value of less than0.001. However the time for opening of the eyes and the duration of post anesthesia care unitwas shorter in group A (420 +/- 130 seconds for eye opening and 45 +/- 15 min for PACU) andin group B (484 +/- 116 seconds for eye opening and 53 +/- 25 mins for PACU) having p valuesof 0.006 (eye opening) and 0.017 (PACU) respectively. In group A n= 44 (88%) of the patientsrequired rescue analgesia, and in group B n= 36 (72%) of the patients required it, having a pvalue of 0.013 respectively. The need for the use of ephedrine and atropine in the pre and portoperative period was similar in both the groups. Conclusion: According to the results of ourstudy we found that each method of anesthesia has its own advantages and disadvantagesand the anesthetist present should weigh the risks and benefits for each patient individually,and use the most beneficial method of administration of anesthesia in the patient undergoinglaparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure, accordingly.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the 'gold standard' for benign diseases of gallbladder. It has rapidly gained popularity and it is one of the commonly performed operations in Nepal. The need for antibiotic prophylaxis when performing an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy may not be as important as it is thought in low risk group. Despite, low postoperative infection rate in laparoscopic cholecystectomy in low risk group, the same criteria of antibiotic prophylaxis previously applied to conventional surgery are routinely used for laparoscopic surgery, even though its actual need has not been ascertained. Aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy with respect to postoperative Surgical Site Infection (SSI) in low risk group. Study was carried out in The Department of Surgery, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal from May 2005 to June 2006 (14 months).This was a prospective randomized study done on 104 consecutive patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients were randomized into case group (group A) and control group (group B) with 52 patients in each group. Two and four patients from Group A and Group B respectively were excluded. In Group A, 50 patients received one gram ceftriaxone intravenously 30 minutes prior to induction of anesthesia and in Group B, all 48 patients received 10 milliliters (ml) of isotonic sodium chloride solution intravenously 30 minutes before induction. In both groups, age, sex, ultrasonogram findings, duration of surgery, American society of anesthesiologists patient classification score, antibiotic administration, bile spillage during surgery, length of postoperative hospital stay and postoperative SSI were recorded. Patients were advised to follow up in Surgical Out-patient Clinic if there was any evidence of SSI within 30 days. SSI was reported and classified as, superficial incisional, deep incisional or space / organ SSI. There were a total of 98 patients included in the study; 50 in Group A and 48 in Group B. In group A, three (6%) patients and in Group B, also three (6.3%) patients had superficial incisional SSI. None of them had deep or organ / space SSI. Comparison of data showed no statistically significant difference between two groups (P- 1.00). DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jcmsn.v7i1.5962 JCMSN 2011; 7(1): 12-18

Introduction: Since the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) was reportedin 1990, it has widespread acceptance as a standard procedure using four trocars. The fourth(lateral) trocar is used to grasp the fundus of the gall bladder to expose calot`s triangle. Withincreasing surgeon experience, LC has undergone many refinements including reductionin port number and size. Three port LC has been reported to be safe and feasible in manyclinical trials. Objectives: To compare the operative time and of three ports versus four portlaparoscopic cholecystectomy. Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trials. Setting: SurgicalDepartments, Allied & Civil Hospitals Faisalabad. Period: 15-09-2010 to 15-03-2011. Materialand Methods: 132 Patients who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy wererandomized to undergo either the 4-port. (Group A) or the 3-port LC (group B).66 patients ineach group. Results: Mean Operative time was 25.14±4.19 minutes in group A and 25.35±4.34in group B. (p value-0.774). Mean VAS score at 12th postoperative hour was 5.37±0.993 ingroup A and 4.52±0.986 in group B. (p value <0.0001). Conclusion: Three port Laparoscopiccholecystectomy did not affect, operative time. However it resulted in less early postoperativepain in three port LC.

Objective: To compare mean pain using bupivacaine injection versus normal saline in port sites & intraperitoneal spray in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial. Setting: Department of Anesthesia, Shaikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore. Period: October 2, 2018 to April 2, 2019. Material & Methods: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients were allocated to obtain either bupivacaine 0.25% or regular saline (N / S) randomly by lottery method. In bupivacaine group-A, 15ml 8of 0.25% bupivacaine spray on gall bladder bed, dissection surface and in ports area after surgery. In normal saline group-B received 15 ml of normal saline in the same area and ports after surgery. Pain was measured on VAS as per operational definition. All the data was entered with SPSS v25.0 and analyzed. A t-test study was used to evaluate the mean pain for both groups at 24th hours. In order to address the effect modifiers, the data was stratified for age, gender, and BMI (obese, non-obese). The independent t-test sample after stratification was used taking p-value 0.05 as relevant. Results: A total of 60 patients were included for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In group-A, mean pain score was 3.33±0.81 and 4.37±1.16 in group-B, which is statistically significant with a p-value of 0.0002. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that bupivacaine spray at the surgical bed and in ports site in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy result in significant lowering of the intensity of postoperative abdominal and shoulder pain.

Introduction: Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) is one of the commonest causes of significant morbidity in the patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of PONV when propofol and thiopentone were used as induction agents during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: A prospective, randomised comparative study was conducted in operation theatre at a tertiary level referral hospital of Nepal. A sample size of 100 ASA I - II patients aged between 18 and 70 years were included and scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The study population were divided into two groups: Group A (Propofol), n = 50 and Group B (Thiopentone), n = 50. These patients were followed up for the first 24 hours postoperatively for any PONV at 0-6 hrs, 6-12 hrs, 12-24 hrs. Results: Out of the 100 patients, PONV was observed almost similar in both groups. i.e. group A (Propofol) n = 31, (62%) and group B (Thiopentone) n = 26 (52%) with no statistical significance (p value = 0.1998) within the first 24 hours postoperatively in both groups; and no significant difference was observed at the different time intervals viz. at 0-6 hrs (p value 0.262): Group A = 45%; Group B = 40%; 6-12 hrs (p value 0.781): Group A = 17.5%, Group B = 22.5%; 12-24 hrs (p value 1.000) Group A = 0%; Group B = 2.5% when using the Fisher exact test. The mean ages for development of PONV in these two groups were: Group A = 40 years and Group B = 38 years. The p-value was 0.5125 which showed no statistical significance. In our study 76% (n = 38) were females and 24% (n = 12) were males in Group A; while 70% (n = 35) were females and 30% (n = 15) males in Group B. However, there was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of PONV. Conclusions: The study showed that there was a high incidence of PONV during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of PONV when propofol or thiopentone was used.

Background: Post-operative adequate analgesia plays an important role in early mobilization, short hospital stay and patient satisfaction in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The use of opioids for providing postoperative analgesia has been marked by side effects like vomiting, nausea, sedation, respiratory distress, etc. hence, alternate drugs like paracetamol (PCM) and diclofenac are commonly used. In this study, we have compared the analgesic efficacy and any associated side effects of the two commonly used non-opioid NSAIDS namely paracetamol and diclofenac.Methods: We compared 50 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in ASA I and II. They were randomly divided into two groups, Group A and Group B. Group A was administered intravenous PCM and Group B was administered injection diclofenac sodium. Postoperatively, these patients were assessed for pain, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and presence of any side effects like nausea, vomiting or any respiratory discomfort.Results: The mean DBP, MAP and VAS score was significantly (p-value <0.05) in Group A as compared to Group B patients at 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours postoperatively. There was no statistically significant difference in mean SBP and O2 saturation in both groups. The mean pulse rate was lower in Group A as compared to Group B at 8, 12 and 24 hours.Conclusions: This study concluded that postoperative PCM infusion provided better analgesia for a prolonged period of time with minimal side effects.

Background: Gallstones and cholecystitis are very common pathologies in surgical practice. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the preferred procedure to remove the gallbladder (GB) worldwide. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the merits and demerits of placing drain after LC and to find out the clinico-pathologic conditions in which the placement of drain was justifiable.Methods: 100 patients who underwent LC were divided into 2 groups, group A (patients with drain) and group B (patients without drain). Interventional type, single-blind study was done. Complete history, evaluation and relevant data of both groups were done and analysed using descriptive statistics and Chi square test.Results: In group A, 44% were males and 56% females whereas in group B, 42% were males and 58% were females. There was a statistically significant difference (p value<0.05) between 2 groups in Visual analog scale (VAS) grading. Wound infection was seen in 14% in group A and 02% in group B; mean hospital stay in group A was 8.38±1.86 days and in group B was 4.68±1.25 days. Nausea and vomiting were noted in 46% among group A and 04 % among group B.Conclusions: Placement of drain after LC has nothing to offer, in contrast, it was associated with more pain. It would be reasonable to leave a drain if there was worry about an unsolved or potential bile leak only.
