Comparison of lateral and cephalad direction of bevel on the path taken by tracheal tube during nasotracheal intubation: A randomized trial Open
Background and Aims: There are two anatomical pathways in the nasal cavity through which the endotracheal tube may pass during nasotracheal intubation: the lower pathway and upper pathway. The upper pathway lies above the inferior turbinat…

Comparison of two concentrations (0.125% and 0.25%) of bupivacaine for ultrasound guided sacral erector spinae block in paediatric patients undergoing hypospadias repair: A double blind randomised trial Open
Background and Aims: The volume and concentration of local anaesthetic are particularly importance for the success of a block in providing analgesia. To improve safety, the goal should be the minimum dose of local anaesthetic capable of pr…

An innovative technique for best use of Macintosh laryngoscope converted into videolaryngoscope Open
Videolaryngoscopes (VLS) improve the visualisation of the larynx, making intubation easier. However, cost constraints limit their use particularly in resource limited settings where access to VLS is needed.1 Macintosh laryngoscope converte…

Comparison of ultrasound-guided sacral erector spinae plane block and caudal epidural block for analgesia in paediatric patients undergoing hypospadias repair: A double-blind, randomised controlled trial Open
Background and Aims: Caudal block is more frequently used in children for postoperative analgesia. However, its disadvantage is its short duration. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) at the sacral level can potentially block the pudendal ne…

Comparison of oropharyngeal leak pressure of LMA Protector and LMA ProSeal in anaesthetised paralysed patients – A randomised controlled trial Open
Background and Aims: In the present study, we hypothesised that the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) Protector would provide higher oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) than LMA ProSeal. Thus, we planned this study to compare the clinical performa…

Efficacy of Variable Doses of Prophylactic Intravenous Ondansetron in Attenuating Spinal Induced Hypotension in Parturients Undergoing Caesarean Delivery: A Randomised Control Trial Open
Introduction Spinal anaesthesia is frequently associated with adverse effects like maternal hypotension and bradycardia. This effect is due to a decrease in systemic vascular resistance, a decrease in central venous pressure or Bezold-Jari…
