Background: Acute postoperative pain is a significant cause of morbidities. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of intraoperative blood pressure during laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia on postoperative pain in patients without underlying disorders. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 72 patients undergoing general anesthesia for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly assigned into two groups: Group A with higher than baseline preoperative blood pressure (MAP allowed to increase up to 20% higher than baseline MAP by inducing pneumoperitoneum) and group B with normal to low blood pressure (MAP deliberately controlled at a tight limit from normal baseline MAP values to 20% less than baseline by titrating TNG infusion). The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) after 2, 8, 12, and 24 hours of surgery, and the total dose of meperidine used to manage postoperative pain were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results: The pain scores in group A were significantly lower than group B (P = 0.001). The postoperative analgesia request time was different between the two groups (P = 0.53). During the first 24 hours, the total meperidine consumption dose in group A was significantly lower than in group B (P = 0.001). Conclusions: High intraoperative blood pressure may affect the postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and lead to less postoperative pain score and analgesic requirements.

Background: The physiological consequences of post-operative pain including Stress response to surgery, Respiratory complications, cardiovascular complications, Thromboembolic complications, Gastrointestinal complications, Musculoskeletal complications and Psychological complications, all of which could delay or impair postoperative recovery and increase the economic cost of surgery as a result of the longer period of hospitalization. Inadequate post-operative pain control may also lead to the development of chronic pain after surgery .Aim of This study: is to evaluate the preemptive analgesic effect of intravenous ketamine in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients and Methods: double blinded randomized clinical trial conducted at Al-Yarmouk teaching hospital, over a period of one year from March 2013 to March 2014 on a total of 120 adult patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, Patients were divided in to three groups of 40 patients each, the study drug administered intravenously during induction. Groups A and B received ketamine in a dose of 1 and 0.5 mg/kg, respectively, whereas group C received isotonic saline. The degree of pain at rest and deep breathing postoperatively were estimated using VAS, time of first analgesic dose, total opioid consumption, nausea, vomiting and hallucination were recorded for 24 h postoperatively. Results: postoperative pain scores were significantly low in group A when compared with the other groups at most times in the first 24 hours. Highest pain score was in group C at 0 h. Postoperative analgesic consumption was minimum in group A then group B and highest in group C. There was little significant difference in the pain scores between groups B and C. Group A had a significantly higher blood MAP than group B at 0, 0.5 and 1 h. 7.5% incidence of hallucinations were in group A. Conclusion: According to this study we conclude that preemptive ketamine in a dose of 1 mg/kg has a definitive role in reducing postoperative pain and analgesic requirement in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A low dose of 0.5 mg/kg had little significant in preemptive analgesic effect and in reducing analgesic requirement.

Introduction: Non-pharmacological interventions are considered as successful adjuncts to manage pain. We are studying the comparative effects of listening to prayer recitation and music therapy intraoperatively as non-pharmacological interventions on postoperative pain and intraoperative haemodynamics. Materials and Methods: Seventy two muslim patients with acute appendicitis requiring open, emergency appendicectomies under general anaesthesia were recruited and randomised into three groups: Group A: patients who listened to prayer recitation, Group B: patients who listened to music, Group C: control group - patients who did not listen to any prayer or music. Intraoperative blood pressure, heart rate and postoperative pain scores were monitored. Results: The demographic data, pre- and post-headphones application haemodynamics were compared. There were significantly lower heart rates at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 minutes for Group A and at 50 and 60 minutes for Group B patients when compared to Group C. Significant reduction in postoperative pain scores were seen in Group A patients at 30 minutes and 8 hours as compared to Group C patients. No significant differences in pain scores were seen between Group B and C patients. No significant differences in additional analgesic requirements postoperatively were seen in all three groups. Conclusion: Listening to prayer recitation or music intraoperatively significantly lowered intraoperative heart rates, however only prayer recitation significantly reduced postoperative pain scores as compared to the control group.

Under treatment of postoperative pain has been the topic of several recent editorials. The prevention, recognition, and management of postoperative pain in adults, as well as in children, have been receiving a great deal of interest. The poor outcome obtained with current regimens is primarily due to the inadequacies of drug administration techniques rather than the qualities of opioids themselves. In this prospective study comparison of preemptive use of diclofenac, ketorolac and tramadol was done for postoperative pain in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. 60 patients were divided into three groups. Group A received injection Diclofenac (3mg/kg) 75mg maximum at a time. Group B received injection Ketorolac (30 mg). And group C patients received injection Tramadol (100 mg). All drugs were given intravenous half an hour before induction. Analgesic efficacy was measured in VAS scale. In addition pulse, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean blood pressure, total pethidine requirement and time of first pethidine requirement were recorded Patients received an increment of 10-20 mg of pethidine when pain score was 3-4. In this study, total pethidine consumption in group A is 56.5±5.14, in group B is 46.75±4.65 and in group C is 49±5.42. It shows that group B and group C have same analgesic effectiveness and which is better than group A. On the basis of present prospective clinical study postoperative pain can be managed by preemptive use of diclofenac, ketorolac and tramadol. The analgesic efficacy of ketorolac and tramadol is same and better than diclofenac. Key Words: Pre-emptive analgesia, Laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Background: Postoperative pain creates complications by increasing circulating level of catecholamines and systemic vascular resistance, thus putting the patients on increased risks of having stroke and myocardial infarction. In addition, it increases hospital stay, causing burden over economic as well as healthcare infrastructure. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of pain in the postoperative period while using Pregabalin as pre-medication among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Material and Methods: The randomized control trail was conducted at Department of Anesthesiology, Holy Family hospital, Rawalpindi from 1st Sept 2015 to 28th Feb 2016 over a period of 6 months. A total of 200 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided in group A and B by consecutive non-probability lottery method. Group A received 100 mg oral Pregabalin 1 hour before surgery and Group B were not given Pregabalin and were taken as controls. Post-operative pain was measured by visual analog scale (VAS) in terms of pain scores at 4 hours postoperatively after the arrival of patient in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). SPSS version 17.0 was used to analyze the data.Results: A total of 200 patients were included in the study. There were 100 patients in each group. Based on the visual analog pain scores, 9 patients were pain free in group A compared with none in group B. Similarly, there were 55 patients in group A, who reported a pain score of 1 whereas no patient in group B had a VAS score of 1. There were 29 patients in group A and only 3 patients in group B with VAS score of 2 (90.6% vs. 9.4%). For VAS score of 3, there were 6 patients in group A and 34 patients from group B (15% vs. 85%). For a VAS score of 4, there were 1 patient in group A and 61 patients in group B (1.6% vs. 98.4%). Two patients in group B experienced a VAS score of 5. All this data was significant with chi square p value of 0.0001.Conclusion: Oral Pregabalin administered prior to laparoscopic cholecystectomy was effective in reducing postoperative pain in the patients. Further studies are needed for post-operative evaluation of side effects, different dosing schedules at different time intervals for both rest and dynamic pain.

Background: Postoperative cognitive decline is a common complication observed frequently after general anesthesia in the immediate postoperative phase. We studied the effects of dexmedetomidine versus midazolam during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery on cognitive and memory function.  Methods: In this clinical trial, 42 elective on-pump CABG candidates under general anesthesia, aged between 40 and 65 years, were enrolled randomly in 2 groups. Group A received 0.05–0.1 mg/kg of midazolam and Group B received 1 µg/kg of dexmedetomidine. One day before surgery, all the participants underwent the Persian version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Persian version of the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS) test for a comparison of cognitive impairment and memory functions. Both groups were given fentanyl and propofol for the induction of anesthesia and muscle relaxants. The MMSE and WMS tests were repeated 5 and 30 days after surgery. Results: The mean±SD of age was 55.47±7.18 y in Group A and 55.39±6.08 y in Group B. Eighty percent of the participants were men in both groups. There were no significant differences between Group A and Group B in the MMSE and WMS before surgery (89.04±14.30 vs. 97.10±18.10, respectively;  P=0.059), but the WMS was significantly different 30 days after surgery (87.60±14.30 vs. 103.53±19.93, respectively; P=0.005). Group A showed high cognitive impairment and low WMS scores compared with Group B (P=0.005). Additionally, the MMSE results were not statistically different between the 2 groups postoperatively (24.80±3.18 vs. 23.55±4.18, respectively; P=0.394). Conclusion: Our results showed that dexmedetomidine might have a lower impact on cognitive function than might midazolam among patients undergoing CABG.   J Teh Univ Heart Ctr 2019;14(2):67-73   This paper should be cited as: Rajaei M, Tabari M, Soltani G, Alizadeh K, Nazari A, Noroozian M, Morovatdar N.

Objective: To study the effectiveness of prophylactic ephedrine to prevent hypotension caused by induction of anesthesia with propofol and sufentanil in elderly hypertensive patients. Methodology: 70 elderly ASA grade II-III hypertensive patients undergoing elective general anesthesia were randomized into two groups to receive either intravenous ephedrine,100 ug/kg in 5ml normal saline (Group B), or an equal volume of normal saline (Group A) before induction. Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) and Heart Rate (HR) were recorded at T0 (after entry to the operating room), T1 (1 min after induction), T2 (2 min after induction), T3 ( 3 min after induction), T4 (4 min after induction), T5 (when intubated), T6 (2 min after intubation), and T7 (at the start of the procedure), as well as the incidence of hypotension and bradycardia. Results: SBP, DBP and HR were not significantly different at T0 and were significantly different at T1 to T7 after anesthesia induction. There were statistically significant effect on hypotension and bradycardia between the two groups and group B have a lower risk of hypotension and bradycardia relative to group A. SBP and DBP decreased significantly after induction in both groups. HR decreased significantly in group A while increased in group B. Conclusion: Ephedrine pretreatment can minimize hypotension and bradycardia caused by propofol and sufentanil during the induction of general anesthesia in elderly patients with hypertension.

BACKGROUND With the growing stress on hospitals caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for home-based solutions has become a necessity to support these overwhelmed hospitals. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to compare two nonpharmacological respiratory treatment methods for home-isolated COVID-19 patients using a newly developed telemanagement health care system. METHODS In this single-blinded randomized clinical trial, 60 patients with stage 1 pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection were treated. Group A (n=30) received oxygen therapy with bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilation, and Group B (n=30) received osteopathic manipulative respiratory and physical therapy techniques. Arterial blood gases of PaO<sub>2</sub> and PaCO<sub>2</sub>, pH, vital signs (ie, temperature, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, heart rate, and blood pressure), and chest computed tomography scans were used for follow-up and for assessment of the course and duration of recovery. RESULTS Analysis of the results showed a significant difference between the two groups (<i>P</i>&lt;.05), with Group A showing shorter recovery periods than Group B (mean 14.9, SD 1.7 days, and mean 23.9, SD 2.3 days, respectively). Significant differences were also observed between baseline and final readings in all of the outcome measures in both groups (<i>P</i>&lt;.05). Regarding posttreatment satisfaction with our proposed telemanagement health care system, positive responses were given by most of the patients in both groups. CONCLUSIONS It was found that home-based oxygen therapy with BiPAP can be a more effective prophylactic treatment approach than osteopathic manipulative respiratory and physical therapy techniques, as it can impede exacerbation of early-stage COVID-19 pneumonia. Telemanagement health care systems are promising methods to help in the pandemic-related shortage of hospital beds, as they showed reasonable effectiveness and reliability in the monitoring and management of patients with early-stage COVID-19 pneumonia.

Objectives: To compare the diathermy incision with scalpel incision in patients undergoing midline elective laparotomy. Design of Study: A prospective, experimental comparative study. Place and Duration: Department of surgery, PNS Shifa Karachi, from March 2007 to June 2008. Patients and Methods: A total of 100 patients were included in the study, and equally divided into 2 groups. Group A received scalpel incision while in group B diathermy was employed to incise all layers. Peroperative parameters including, incision time and blood loss were calculated. Postoperatively, pain was assessed by visual analogue score and wound infection documented. Results: Both groups included fifty patients each out of the total 44 females and 56 were males, with similar gender preposition in both the groups. Mean age of patients in scalpel group was 48.78 (±14.47) while it was 44.92 (±15.87) in diathermy group. The mean incision related blood loss in Scalpel group was 1.53 (±0.20) ml/cm2 and in Diathermy group was 1.43 (±0.20) ml/cm2, showing significantly less bleeding in diathermy group (p-value= 0.014). Diathermy group, with incision related time of 6.20 sec/cm2 (±0.97 sec/cm2), was significantly quicker (p-value= 0.003) than scalpel incision, with incision time of 6.76 sec/cm2 (±0.84 sec/cm2). Postoperative pain scores, recorded daily over five days, showed insignificant difference between the two groups. Conclusions: Diathermy, employed for midline laparotomy, is quicker and hemostatic, compared to the scalpel. The two are, however, similar in terms of wound infection and postoperative pain.

Abstract Background We aimed to evaluate a modified endotracheal tube containing upper and lower balloons for anesthetic administration among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods Ninety patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly allocated to 3 equal groups: group A (conventional tracheal intubation without endotracheal anesthesia); B (conventional tracheal intubation with endotracheal anesthesia); and C (tracheal intubation using a modified catheter under study). Blood pressure, heart rate, angiotensin II level, blood glucose level, airway pressure before anesthesia (T1) were measured immediately after intubation (T2), 5 min after intubation (T3), and immediately after extubation (T4). The post-extubation pain experienced was evaluated using the Wong-Baker Face Pain scale. Adverse reactions within 30 min after extubation were recorded. Results Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, angiotensin II, and blood sugar level in group C at T2, T3 and T4, and heart rate at T2 and T4 were significantly lower than those in group A (P < 0.05); systolic blood pressure and blood sugar at T4, and angiotensin II levels at T2, T3, and T4 were significantly lower than those in group B (P < 0.05). Patients in group C reported the lowest post-extubation pain (P < 0.05 vs. Group A), and the lowest incidence of adverse events such as nausea, vomiting, and sore throat than that in groups A and B (P < 0.05). Conclusion The modified endotracheal anesthesia tube under study is effective in reducing cardiovascular and tracheal stress response, and increasing patient comfort, without inducing an increase in airway resistance. Trial registration The clinical trial was retrospectively registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry with the Registration Number ChiCTR1900020832 at January 20th 2019.

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.
