Recently, reports have indicated that gabapentin may have a place in the treatment of postoperative pain. In this study, we sought to determine whether preemptive use of gabapentin reduced postoperative pain and morphine demand following thyroidectomy.MethodsIn this prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial, we gave gabapentin 1200 mg or placebo two hours prior to induction of anesthesia to patients undergoing elective thyroidectomy. Post-thyroidectomy pain was assessed on a visual analogue scale at rest and during swallowing in the first 24 hr postoperatively. All patients received morphine 3 mg iv every five minutes until visual analogue scale scores were 4 or less at rest, and 6 or less with swallowing. Total morphine consumption for each patient was recorded from zero to 24 hr postoperatively.ResultsThirty-seven patients in the gabapentin group and 35 patients in the placebo group completed the study. Overall, pain scores at rest and during swallowing in the gabapentin group were significantly lower when compared with the placebo group. Total postoperative morphine consumption in the gabapentin group was 15.2 ± 7.6 mg (mean ± SD)vs 29.5 ± 9.9 mg in the placebo group (P < 0.001). No significant differences in side effects were observed between groups.ConclusionsPreoperative gabapentin decreased pain scores and postoperative morphine consumption in patients following thyroid surgery.RésuméObjectifLa gabapentine possÈde des propriétés antihyperalgésiques et antiallodyniques.

Background : Tracheal intubation in children can be achieved by deep inhalational anaesthesia or an intravenous anaesthetic and a muscle relaxant, suxamethonium being widely used despite several side‐effects. Studies have shown that oral intubation can be facilitated safely and effectively in children after induction of anaesthesia with propofol and alfentanil without a muscle relaxant. Remifentanil is a new, ultra‐short acting, selective mu‐receptor agonist that is 20–30 times more potent than alfentanil. This clinical study was designed to assess whether combination of propofol and remifentanil could be used without a muscle relaxant to facilitate tracheal intubation in children.

V. Rajeeva; Neerja Bhardwaj; Yatindra Kumar Batra; L. K. Dhaliwal

PurposeTo compare the efficacy of ondansetron-dexamethasone combination with ondansetron alone for prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).MethodsThis double blind, randomized study was carried out in 51 female patients, aged 20–40 yr, ASA-1 physical status undergoing gynecological diagnostic laparoscopy. Group 1 (n = 26) received 4mg ondansetroniv and group 2 (n = 25) received a combination of 4 mg ondansetron and 8 mg dexamethasoneiv soon after induction of anesthesia. Postoperatively patients were assessed hourly for four hours and then at 24 hr for nausea, vomiting, pain and post anesthetic discharge score. Vomiting occurring up to two hours was considered early vomiting and from 2–24 hr as delayed vomiting.ResultsThe postoperative nausea score was lower in patients receiving a combination of ondansetron and dexamethasone (3.76) than ondansetron alone (4.38) at 0 hr (P < 0.01), 2 hr (P < 0.05) and 24 hr (P < 0.01). In group 1, 38.5% of patients had a nausea score of ≥ 5 (major nausea) compared with only 12% of patients in group 2 (P < 0.025). The overall incidence of vomiting was greater in group 1 (35%) than in group 2 (8%) (P < 0.05). The combination group showed better control of delayed vomiting compared with the ondansetron group (4%vs 35%)(P< 0.0l).ConclusionThe combination of ondansetron and dexamethasone provides adequate control of PONV with delayed PONV being better controlled than early PONVRésuméObjectifComparer l’efficacité d’une combinaison d’ondansétron et de dexaméthasone avec l’ondansétron employé seul pour la prévention de nausées et de vomissements postopératoires (NVPO).MéthodeLa présente étude, randomisée et en double aveugle, a été réalisée auprès de 51 patientes, âgées de 20 à 40 ans, d’état physique ASA I qui devaient subir une laparoscopie gynécologique. Le groupe I (n = 26) a reçu 4mg d’ondansétroniv et le groupe 2 (n = 25), une combinaison de 4 mg d’ondansétron et de 8 mg de dexaméthasoneiv peu après l’induction de l’anesthésie. À la suite de l’intervention, on a évalué les nausées, les vomissements, l’échelle de douleur et de congé à chaque heure, pendant quatre heures, et à 24 h. Les vomissements se produisant jusqu’à deux heures après l’intervention étaient considérés comme des vomissements précoces et ceux qui survenaient entre 2 et 24 h, comme des vomissements tardifs.RésultatsLe score des nausées postopératoires était plus bas chez les patientes qui avaient reçu une combinaison d’ondansétron et de dexaméthasone (3,76) plutôt que de l’ondansétron seulement (4,38) à 0 h (P < 0,01), à 2 h (P < 0,05) et à 24 h (P < 0,01). Dans le groupe 1, 38,5 % des patientes ont présenté un score de nausées 5 (nausées importantes) comparativement à 12 % seulement des patientes dans le groupe 2 (P < 0,025). Lincidence totale de vomissements était plus grande dans le groupe 1 (35 %) que dans le groupe 2 (8 %) (P < 0,05). Le groupe ayant reçu une combinaison de médicaments, comparé au groupe qui a reçu de l’ondansétron, a présenté un meilleur contrôle des vomissements tardifs (4 %vs 35 %) (P < 0,01).ConclusionLa combinaison d’ondansétron et de dexaméthasone fournit un bon contrôle des NVPO, meilleur pour les NVPO précoces que pour les NVPO tardifs.

Koj Jarbo; Yatindra Kumar Batra; Nidhi Panda

PurposeAdjuncts to local anesthetics for brachial plexus block may enhance the quality and duration of analgesia. Midazolam, a water-soluble benzodiazepine, is known to produce antinociception and enhance the effect of local anesthetics when given epidurally or intrathecally. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of midazolam added to brachial plexus anesthesia.MethodsA prospective, randomized, double blind study was conducted on 40 ASA I or II adult patients undergoing upper limb surgeries under supraclavicular brachial plexus block. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in Group B (n = 20) were administered 30 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine and Group BM (n = 20) were given 30 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine with midazolam 50 μg·kg-1. Hemodynamic variables (i.e., heart rate, noninvasive blood pressure), pain scores and rescue analgesic requirements were recorded for 24 hr postoperatively.ResultsThe onset of sensory and motor block was significantly faster in Group BM compared to Group B (P < 0.05). Pain scores were significantly higher in Group B compared to Group BM from two hours to 24 hr postoperatively (P < 0.05). Rescue analgesic requirements were significantly less in Group BM compared to Group B (P < 0.05). Hemodynamics and sedation scores did not differ between groups in the postoperative period.ConclusionMidazolam (50 μg·kg-1) in combination with 30 mL of bupivacaine (0.5%) hastened onset of sensory and motor block, and improved postoperative analgesia when used in brachial plexus block, without producing any adverse events. Objectif : Un ajout aux anesthésiques locaux pour le bloc du plexus brachial peut améliorer la qualité et la durée de ľanalgésie. Le midazolam, une benzodiazépine hydrosoluble, administré par voie péridurale ou intrathécale, produit de ľantinociception et améliore ľeffet des anesthésiques locaux. Nous avons évalué ľeffet du midazolam ajouté à ľanesthésie du plexus brachial.RésuméMéthodeUne étude prospective, randomisée et à double insu a été menée auprès de 40 adultes ďétat physique ASA I ou II devant être opérés aux membres supérieurs sous anesthésie supraclaviculaire du plexus brachial. Les patients ont été répartis aléatoirement en deux groupes. Ceux du groupe B (n = 20) ont reçu 30 mL de bupivacaïne à 0,5 % et ceux du groupe BM (n = 20) ont eu 30 mL de bupivacaïne à 0,5 % avec 50 μg·kg-1 de midazolam. Les variables hémodynamiques, les scores de douleur et les demandes ďanalgésiques de secours ont été notés pendant 24 h après ľopération.RésultatsLe délai ďinstallation du bloc sensitif et moteur a été significativement plus court chez les patients du groupe BM, comparé au groupe B (P < 0,05). De 2 h à 24 h après ľopération, les douleurs ont été plus importantes dans le groupe B (P <0,05) et les demandes ďanalgésiques de secours ont été moindres dans le groupe BM (P < 0,05). Après ľopération, ľhémodynamique et les scores de sédation ne différaient pas ďun groupe à ľautre.ConclusionLe midazolam (50 µg·kg-1) combiné à 30 mL de bupivacaïne (0,5 %) a accéléré ľinstallation du bloc sensitif et moteur et amélioré ľanalgésie postopératoire sans produire ďeffets indésirables lors du bloc du plexus brachial.

Paediatric perioperative cardiac arrest and its mortality: database of a 60-month period from a tertiary care paediatric centre.

Neerja Bharti; Yatindra Kumar Batra; Hervinder Kaur

Background and objective The analysis of perioperative cardiac arrest and mortality remains a potentially valuable method to improve clinical outcome. This survey evaluated the incidence and causes of perioperative cardiac arrests and mortality in a paediatric surgical population over 5 years. Methods All cardiac arrests that occurred between April 2003 and March 2008, during administration of anaesthesia at the paediatric centre of our institute, were recorded from an anaesthesia database and postsurgical ICU census register. All surgery performed under anaesthesia was included whether emergency or elective. All surgical procedures were covered except eye surgery, cardiac surgery and the procedures performed at remote locations. Data collected included patient characteristics, surgical procedures, preoperative physical status and anaesthesia-provider information, immediate cause of cardiac arrest, antecedent events, management and outcome. All cardiac arrests were grouped according to the cause of arrest into one of four groups: totally anaesthesia related, partially anaesthesia related, surgery related or child condition related. Results There were a total of 27 cardiac arrests out of 12 158 procedures. Major risk factors for cardiac arrests were children under 1 year of age (P < 0.05), ASA physical status (ASA-PS) III or more (P < 0.001) and emergency surgery (P < 0.01). There were nine cardiac arrests attributed to anaesthesia, three totally and six partially related to anaesthesia. The main causes of anaesthesia-related cardiac arrest were respiratory events (56%), followed by cardiac events (33%). Anaesthesia-related mortality was 1.2/10 000 anaesthetics in patients with ASA-PS I–II and 7.7/10 000 anaesthetics in patients with ASA-PS III–V with a survival rate of 56%. Conclusion Major risk factors for cardiac arrests were age under 1 year, poor physical status and emergency surgery. Respiratory and cardiovascular-related events accounted for most of all anaesthesia-related cardiac arrests. High ASA-PS was the leading cause of perioperative mortality.

Effect of coagulating and cutting current on a demand pacemaker during transurethral resection of the prostate. a case report

Yatindra Kumar Batra; I. M. Bali

SummaryElectromagnetic interference from diathermy apparatus can be a real hazard in a patient with a demand pacemaker. A case is reported in which the cutting current of transurethral electrocaut ery deactivated an implanted pacemaker, while coagulating current did not alter pacemaker activity. Therefore frequent short bursts of cutting current were used for successful resection of the prostate. This case emphasizes the need for vigilant care of patients with demand pacemakers requiring transurethral resection.RésuméĽusage ďun électrocautère chez un malade porteur ďun pacemaker sentinelle, crée de ľinterférence électro-magnétique et peut s’avérer désastreux pour le malade. Les auteurs rapportent le cas ďun malade porteur ďun pacemaker de ce genre et soumis à une résection transurétrale de la prostate. Lorsque le bistouri électrique était utilisé pour couper, iI inhibait le pacemaker, alors que son usage pour coaguler ne causait pas de problème. Le patient a quand même pu être opéré sans incident en limitant ľusage du bistouri à de brefs instants à la fois sous monitoring attentif de ľECG. Ce cas illustre le besoin ďune vigilance de tous les instants lorsque des malades porteurs ďun pacemaker sentinelle sont soumis à une résection transurétrale de la prostate.

Anatomic consideration of caudal epidural space: A cadaver study

Anjali Aggarwal; Harjeet Kaur; Yatindra Kumar Batra; Aditya Aggarwal; Subramanyam Rajeev; Daisy Sahni

The knowledge of sacral hiatus anatomy is imperative in clinical situations requiring caudal epidural block for various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of the lumbosacral spine to avoid failure and dural injury. In this study, a detailed anatomic study of the sacral region was carried out on 49 male adult Indian cadavers. Dorsal surface of sacral region was dissected to study sacral cornua, sacral hiatus, and the dimensions of triangle formed by the right and left posterosuperior iliac spines with apex of the hiatus. Midsagittal sections were subjected for various anatomical measurements. The angle of needle insertion and the depth of caudal space were noted. Cornu was not palpable bilaterally in 7 (14.3%) and palpable unilaterally in 12 (24.5%) specimens. Mean (standard deviation) distance between apex of hiatus and coccyx tip was 57.5 (8.7) mm and length of sacrococcygeal ligament was 34.2 (7.4) mm. The dimensions of the triangle were found to be interchangeable in 25 cadavers. Once the needle is introduced into the canal after penetrating the sacrococcygeal ligament, it should not be advanced >5 mm to prevent dural puncture. The level of maximum curvature of sacrum was S3 in 34 (69.4%) of cases. The dural sac was found to terminate at S2 in 41 (83.6%). The mean (SD) angle of depression of the needle was 65.7 (5.5) (range 58–78). The measurements described for the identification of the sacral hiatus, optimal angle of depression, and depth of the needle may improve the safety and reliability of a caudal epidural block. Clin. Anat. 22:730–737, 2009.
