Abstract

Objective: To assist in the administration of spinal anesthesia for patients undergoing femur fracture procedures, we conducted comparison research to compare the analgesic efficiency of intravenous fentanyl against ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block (FNB). Material and Methods: A group of 112 patients ranging in age from 18 to 70 years old who had ASA Physical Status I and II and were having femur fracture procedures under spinal anaesthesia participated in the randomised, prospective, interventional trial. These individuals were divided into two groups through a random assignment process. Group FENT (n = 56) received Intravenous fentanyl 1 microgram/kilogram (µg/kg) and five minutes before positioning for spinal anaesthetic, group FNB (n = 56) received ultrasound-guided FNB with 20 millilitres (ml), 1.5% lignocaine and adrenaline (1:200,000). Results: Comparison of pain scores during positioning using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) revealed that Group FENT had a score of 1.95 ± 0.585, whereas Group FNB had a score of 0.61 ± 0.562 (p-value 0.001). The FNB group demonstrated superior patient positioning quality. Patient satisfaction was similar in both groups, and no significant side effects were observed. Conclusion: FNB offers enhanced analgesia, improved patient positioning, higher patient satisfaction, reduced reliance on additional analgesia, and fewer side effects compared to intravenous fentanyl for spinal anesthesia.

Abstract

Introduction: This randomized comparative study was planned to compare intracuff alkalinized lignocaine versus dexamethasone in preventing postoperative laryngotracheal morbidity. During general anesthesia patients were intubated with cuffed endotracheal tubes to provide effective positive pressure ventilation as well to prevent risk of aspiration. The cuffs of endotracheal tubes were inflated with air. This air in these cuffed endotracheal tubes can cause significant laryngotracheal morbidity. So, we planned this study to find a better substitute other than air to prevent postoperative laryngotracheal morbidity. Material and methods: Total 56 cases were taken. In group A, the cuff of the endotracheal tube was filled with 2% lignocaine 2 ml (40 mg) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3 8.4%) 1 ml (total 3 ml volume). In Group B, the cuff of the endotracheal tube was filled with dexamethasone (8 mg) 2 ml with 1 ml NS (total 3 ml volume). Results: The incidence of sore throat and hoarseness was less in the alkalinized lignocaine group. (p value > 0.05). While the incidence of coughing was roughly similar in both groups and at different time intervals (P value >0.05). Conclusion: Intracuff alkalinized Lignocaine in comparison to intracuff dexamethasone causes less incidence of sore throat and hoarseness in post operative period thus improved patient comfort levels and better recovery profile.
