Comparison Of Spontaneous With Controlled Mode Of Ventilation In Tonsillectomy, F A. Khan, G A. Memon Mar 2001

Comparison Of Spontaneous With Controlled Mode Of Ventilation In Tonsillectomy, F A. Khan, G A. Memon

Department of Anaesthesia

Methods: This randomized study compares spontaneous versus controlled ventilation in 60 ASA I and II patients undergoing tonsillectomy as regards haemodynamic stability, recovery characteristics, intra- and immediate postoperative complications and surgical impressions.Results: The patients in the balanced anaesthesia (B) group showed less haemodynamic variability compared to baseline after tracheal intubation, mouth gag application and removal and incision. Two patients had dysrhythmias in the B group compared to six in the spontaneous breathing (S) group. Six patients in the S group had a rise in endtidal carbon dioxide concentration above 7.8 kPa (60 mmHg). Recovery scores were higher in the B …

Anatomical Variations Of Internal Jugular Vein As Seen By "Site Rite Ii" Ultrasound Machine--An Initial Experience In Pakistani Population, Hameedullah, M. A. Rauf, Fazal Hameed Khan

Department of Anaesthesia

Objective: To determine the anatomical variations of the internal jugular vein (IJV) in Pakistani adult population with the help of Site Rite II ultrasound machine.
Material and Method: The right IJV relation to the carotid artery was visualized at four different landmarks (angle of the mandible, thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage, and the supraclavicular area). Size of IJV in comparison to carotid artery was also seen.
Results:
In 49 cases the IJV was found in aberrant relation to carotid artery at the angle of the mandible (p value
Conclusion:Care should be taken while cannulating IJV at the angle of the …
