Comparative study of hemodynamic effects of intrathecal bupivacaine with butorphanol in cardiac and non-cardiac patients
Conclusion: We can safely consider spinal anesthesia with 10 mg bupivacaine and 25μg butorphanol in cardiac patients with mild to moderately reduced ejection fraction presenting for infraumbilical non-cardiac surgeries with the advantage of intraoperative hemodynamic stability and adequate postoperative analgesia.

Comparison and evaluation of single-use LMA supreme versus the reusable proseal LMA in paralyzed patients undergoing surgery with controlled ventilation
Conclusion: PLMA is better than SLMA as airway device to ventilate at higher airway pressure in paralyzed adult patients. On the basis of our study, we recommend Proseal over Supreme LMA. (Source: Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology)

Comparison of conventional C-MAC video laryngoscope guided intubation by anesthesia trainees with and without Frova endotracheal introducer: A randomized clinical trial
Conclusion: Frova introducer guided endotracheal intubation with C-MAC videolaryngoscope in patients with normal airways had a marginally prolonged intubation time with a significant reduction in the need of external laryngeal manoeuvres but with a comparable number of redirections and attempts. Further research is needed to generalize these findings to patients with difficult airways. (Source: Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology)

The COVID-19 hydroxychloroquine prophylaxis perception of Indian anesthesiologists: A survey-based original article
Conclusion: The evidence for the effectiveness of HCQ against COVID-19 in India is reportedly as strong and weak as other drugs that have been promoted. The survey highlights the reasons consumption of HCQ and represents the opinion of 247 practicing Indian anesthesiologists. It informs the benefits and side effects of HCQ, which can help others in reaching a balanced decision. (Source: Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology)

Should serial monitoring of procalcitonin be done routinely in critically ill patients of ICU: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Rupali Patnaik, Afzal Azim, Prabhaker MishraJournal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology 2020 36(4):458-464 Sepsis is a life-threatening condition with dysregulated host response to infection. It is a major determinant of mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU). Procalcitonin (PCT) is widely investigated for prognosis in patients with sepsis. Most of the studies have cited that elevated PCT concentrations and PCT non-clearance are associated with poor outcomes in patients with sepsis and some studies have cited as having no additional benefit. Most of the studies have evaluated single PCT measurement and correlated...

Chronic hip pain in adults: Current knowledge and future prospective
Vanita Ahuja, Deepak Thapa, Sofia Patial, Anjuman Chander, Anupam AhujaJournal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology 2020 36(4):450-457 Chronic hip pain is distressing to the patient as it not only impairs the daily activities of life but also affects the quality of life. Chronic hip pain is difficult to diagnose as patients often present with associated chronic lumbar spine and/or knee joint pain. Moreover, nonorthopaedic causes may also present as chronic hip pain. The accurate diagnosis of chronic hip pain starts with a detailed history of the patient and thorough knowledge of anatomy of the hip joint. Various physi...

Perioperative concerns in Pott & #39;s spine: A review
Geetanjali Tolia Chilkoti, Nidhi Jain, Medha Mohta, Ashok K SaxenaJournal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology 2020 36(4):443-449 Pott's disease is the most common granulomatous spine infection caused by tubercle bacilli and is a common site of osseous tuberculosis, accounting for 50–60% of cases. The delay in establishing diagnosis and management results in complications such as spinal cord compression and spinal deformity. The aim of this narrative review is to discuss the perioperative concerns in patients for spine surgery. The literature source for this review was obtained via P...
