Comparison Of Spinal Anesthesia Dosage Based On Height And Weight Versus Height Alone In Patients Undergoing Elective Cesarean Section, Khalid Maudood Siddiqui, Muhammad Asghar Ali, Hameed Ullah
Department of Anaesthesia
Background: Spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine, typically used for elective and emergency cesarean section, is associated with a significant incidence of hypotension resulting from sympathetic blockade. A variety of dosing regimens have been used to administer spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. The objective of this study was to compare the incidence of hypotension following two different fixed dosing regimens.Methods: This was a randomized double-blind clinical trial with a two-sided design, 5% significance level and 80% power. After approval of the hospital ethics review committee, 60 patients were divided randomly into two groups. In one group, the local anesthetic dose was adjusted …
Effects Of Bupivacaine Infiltration On Postoperative Tramadol Consumption In Elective Day Care Unilateral Inguinal Hernia Repair, Rehan Muhammad Qureshi, Fauzia Anis Khan
Effects Of Bupivacaine Infiltration On Postoperative Tramadol Consumption In Elective Day Care Unilateral Inguinal Hernia Repair, Rehan Muhammad Qureshi, Fauzia Anis Khan
Department of Anaesthesia
Objective: To determine the difference in analgesic requirement in terms of mean postoperative narcotic consumption and mean postoperative pain score in patients undergoing unilateral inguinal hernia repair with or without bupivacaine infiltration as day-care patients.Methods: The randomised controlled trial was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, from June to December 2011, and comprised patients who were randomly divided into groups A and B. Tramadol 1.5 mgkg-1 was used as intraoperative analgesia. At the time of closure of surgical incision, 20ml of bupivacaine 0.25% plain was infiltrated in the subcutaneous tissue sub-facially and in the deeper layers along the incision …

Background: Disability after burn injury is not assessed in the context of Pakistan. This study assesses disability among adult burn injury patients presenting to a burn unit in Karachi, Pakistan.
Methods: This longitudinal study was conducted at a burn centre is Karachi, Pakistan. Adult patients(>18 years) who were discharge after 24-hour admission were enrolled from August 2014–March 2015. Baseline assessment before discharge and follow-up at 2,6 and 12 weeks after discharge via telephone was done using 12-item WHODAS 2.0 (5 -point likert-scale; 1 = none; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = severe; and 5 = extreme) related …
Frequency, Indications And Complications Of Pulmonary Artery Catheter Insertion In Adult Open-Heart Surgery Patients Of A Tertiary Care Hospital, Syed Shabbir Ahmed, Mohammad Irfan Akhtar, Rehana Kamal
Frequency, Indications And Complications Of Pulmonary Artery Catheter Insertion In Adult Open-Heart Surgery Patients Of A Tertiary Care Hospital, Syed Shabbir Ahmed, Mohammad Irfan Akhtar, Rehana Kamal
Department of Anaesthesia
Background: Patients presenting for cardiac surgery have unstable cardiovascular disease and haemodynamics with multiple coexisting diseases. Optimal monitoring in the perioperative period is very important for best perioperative outcome. The introduction of the flow-directed pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) into clinical practice is one of the most important and popular advances in the field of cardiac anaesthesia. The objective of the study was to determine the frequency, indications and complications of pulmonary artery catheter insertion in adult open-heart surgery patients.Methods: A Prospective observational study was conducted at cardiac operating rooms and Cardiac Intensive care unit (CICU) of Aga Khan University Hospital …
Incidence, Outcome And Risk Factors For Sepsis- A Two Year Retrospective Study At Surgical Intensive Care Unit Of A Teaching Hospital In Pakistan, Ali Asghar, Madiha Hashmi, Saima Rashid, Fazal Hameed Khan
Incidence, Outcome And Risk Factors For Sepsis- A Two Year Retrospective Study At Surgical Intensive Care Unit Of A Teaching Hospital In Pakistan, Ali Asghar, Madiha Hashmi, Saima Rashid, Fazal Hameed Khan
Department of Anaesthesia
Background: Sepsis is amongst the leading causes of admission to the intensive care units and is associated with a high mortality. However, data from developing countries is scarse. Aim of conducting this study was to determine the incidence, outcome and risk factors for sepsis on admission to surgical intensive care unit (SICU) of a teaching hospital in Pakistan.
Methods: Two year retrospective observational study included all consecutive adult admissions to the surgical intensive care unit (SICU) of a University Hospital, from January 2012 to December 2013.
Results: Two hundred and twenty-nine patients met the inclusion criteria. Average age of the …
Fast Track Extubation In Adult Patients On Pump Open Heart Surgery At A Tertiary Care Hospital, Mohammad Irfan Akhtar, Hasanat Sharif, Mohammad Hamid, Khalid Samad, Fazal Hameed Khan
Fast Track Extubation In Adult Patients On Pump Open Heart Surgery At A Tertiary Care Hospital, Mohammad Irfan Akhtar, Hasanat Sharif, Mohammad Hamid, Khalid Samad, Fazal Hameed Khan
Department of Anaesthesia
Background: Fast-track cardiac surgery programs have been established as the standard of cardiac surgical care. Studies have shown that early extubation in elective cardiac surgery patients, including coronary and non-coronary open-heart surgery patients does not increase perioperative morbidity and mortality. The objective of this observational study was to determine the success and failure profile of fast track extubation (FTE) practice in adult open-heart surgical patients.
Methods: The study was conducted at cardiac operating room and Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) of a tertiary care hospital for a period of nine months, i.e., from Oct 2014 to June-2015. All on pump …
