RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Administration of an optimal dose of anesthetic agent to ensure adequate depth of hypnosis with the lowest risk of adverse effects to the fetus is highly important in cesarean section. Sodium thiopental (STP) is still the first choice for induction of anesthesia in some countries for this obstetric surgery. We aimed to compare two doses of STP with regarding the depth of anesthesia and the condition of newborn infants. METHODS: In this clinical trial, parturient undergoing elective Caesarian section were randomized into two groups receiving either low-dose (5 mg/kg) or high-dose (7 mg/kg) STP. Muscle relaxation was provided with succinylcholine 2 mg/kg and anesthesia was maintained with O2/N2O and sevoflurane. The depth of anesthesia was evaluated using isolated forearm technique (IFT) and bispectral index (BIS) in various phases. Additionally, infants were assessed using Apgar score and neurobehavioral test. RESULTS: Forty parturient were evaluated in each group. BIS was significantly lower in high-dose group at skin incision to delivery and subcutaneous and skin closure. Also, significant differences were noticed in IFT over induction to incision and incision to delivery. Apgar score was significantly lower in high-dose group at 1 min after delivery. Newborn infants in low-dose group had significantly better outcomes in all three domains of the neurobehavioral test. CONCLUSION: 7 mg/kg STP is superior to 5 mg/kg in creating deeper hypnosis for mothers. However, it negatively impacts Apgar score and neurobehavioral test of neonates. STP seems to has dropped behind as an acceptable anesthetic in Cesarean section. TRIAL REGISTRATION: IRCT No: 2016082819470 N45 , 13/03/2019.

BACKGROUND: Emergence agitation (EA) in children is one of the most common complications following anaesthesia. We aimed to compare the effect of ketamine, ketamine-midazolam and ketamine-propofol on EA after tonsillectomy. METHODS: This study was a randomised, double-blind clinical trial conducted on 162 children undergoing adenotonsillectomy surgery. The participants were randomly divided into three groups of receiving ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) (N = 54), ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) + propofol (1 mg/kg) (N = 54) and ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) + midazolam (0.01 mg/kg) (N = 54) 10 min before the end of the operation. At the time of the patients' entry into the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU) and at intervals of 5 min, 10 min and 20 min after that, consciousness, mobility, breathing, circulation and SpO2 were recorded. Modified Aldrete recovery score (MARS), the objective pain score (OPS) and Richmond agitation-sedation scale (RASS) were also evaluated. RESULTS: At the time of entrance to the PACU and 5 min later, the ketamine-midazolam and ketamine-propofol groups had lower RASS scores than the ketamine group (P < 0.001); after 10 min and 20 min, the ketamine-propofol group showed the lowest RASS score (P < 0.001). Ketamine-propofol group had a significantly lower MARS score at all-time points (P < 0.001). Recovery time was the longest for the ketamine-propofol group (P = 0.008). CONCLUSION: The ketamine-midazolam group had lower RASS, greater haemodynamic stability and MARS values without delayed awakening.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Nausea and vomiting after surgery are the most common complications. Therefore, we performed this study to compare the effect of ondansetron and haloperidol on nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this randomized clinical trial, 60 patients candidates for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were allocated to haloperidol (0.05 mg/kg, n = 30) and ondansetron (0.15 mg/kg, n = 30) groups. An Ocular Analog Scale was used to assess postoperative nausea and vomiting. Every 15 minutes in the recovery room, heart rate and blood pressure were measured up to 6 hours after surgery. In addition, patient satisfaction was assessed postoperatively. RESULTS: Haloperidol and ondansetron have the same effect on postoperative nausea and vomiting in the recovery room and ward. It was found that the trend of Visual Analog Scale variable changes in the recovery room was similar in the haloperidol and ondansetron group ( P = 0.58); it was also true for the ward ( P = 0.79). Comparing the length of stay in a recovery room in the 2 groups was not statistically significant ( P = 0.19). In addition, the 2 groups did not differ in satisfaction postoperatively ( P = 0.82). CONCLUSION: Haloperidol and ondansetron had an equal effect on reducing nausea and vomiting in the recovery room and ward after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patient satisfaction and length of stay in the recovery room did not differ between groups.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of labetalol and lidocaine in tympanoplasty surgery, specifically evaluating their impact on hemodynamic changes and perioperative outcomes. METHODS: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 64 patients scheduled for tympanoplasty. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either 0.5-2â¯mg/min labetalol or 1.5â¯mg/kg/h lidocaine 1% to achieve controlled hypotension during surgery. The efficacy of the drugs was assessed by comparing the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), surgeon's satisfaction, time to target MAP, bleeding volume, postoperative pain scores, the need for analgesic medication in recovery, sedation, and other additional parameters. RESULTS: The hemodynamic parameters showed a similar trend over time in both the labetalol and lidocaine groups. The median bleeding volume in the labetalol group (10 cc) was lower than that in the lidocaine group (30 cc), although this difference was not statistically significant (pâ¯=â¯0.11). Similarly, surgeon's satisfaction level, pain intensity, and sedation level in the recovery room did not show statistically significant differences between the two groups (pâ¯>â¯0.05). The duration of surgery, recovery stay, and extubation time also did not significantly differ between the groups. Both medications took approximately the same time (20â¯min) to reach the target MAP and exhibited comparable hemodynamic responses (pâ¯>â¯0.05). CONCLUSION: Both labetalol and lidocaine effectively achieved controlled hypotension during tympanoplasty surgery, thereby improving surgical conditions. The choice of medication should be based on individual patient characteristics and the anesthesiologist's judgment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II.

Background: The effectiveness of continuous wound infiltration (CWI) as a postoperative pain-control technique has been shown in many surgical procedures. This study investigates the effect of CWI of local anesthetic on postoperative pain control in intertrochanteric fracture patients undergoing hip nailing surgery. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 48 patients who were scheduled for hip nailing surgery were randomly assigned to receive (n = 24) or not receive (n = 24) bupivacaine infusion through a catheter inside the surgical wound, postoperatively. Pain intensity (NRS), required dose of morphine, and drug-related complications within 24 hours of the intervention were assessed and compared. Results: Pain intensity was significantly lower in the bupivacaine group both during the recovery room stay and in the ward in the first 24 hours after the procedure (P < 0.001). In the recovery room, the control group patients had a higher morphine consumption compared to the bupivacaine group (P < 0.001) and requested it earlier than the bupivacaine group (60 (45-60) vs. 360 (195-480) minutes) (P < 0.001). In the ward, all control group patients used the PCA morphine pump, while only 54% of the bupivacaine group self-administered morphine through the pump, with a significantly lower total morphine consumption (1 (0-2) vs. 10 (5-14) mg, P < 0.001). None of the patients in the bupivacaine group required additional morphine, while 37.5% of the control requested additional morphine (P=0.002). Altogether, the control group had a higher total morphine consumption compared to the bupivacaine group in the first 24 hours (10.5 (6-15.5) vs. 1 (0-2) mg, P < 0.001). Conclusion: CWI of bupivacaine helps better pain reduction during the early postoperative hours while it reduces opioid consumption, minimizes nausea and vomiting, and improves patient satisfaction.

Background: Several adjuvants, added to local anesthetics, were suggested to induce an ideal regional block with high-quality analgesia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the particular blocking properties of low-dose bupivacaine in combination with meperidine and fentanyl in spinal anesthesia during Cesarean sections. Methods: A randomized, double-blind clinical trial was conducted at Hafez Hospital affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (Shiraz, Iran) from February 2015 to February 2016. A total of 120 pregnant women, who underwent spinal anesthesia during elective Cesarean section were enrolled in the study. Based on block-wise randomization, the patients were randomly assigned to three groups, namely "B" group received 2 mL bupivacaine 0.5% (10 mg), "BM" group received 8 mg bupivacaine and 10 mg meperidine, and "BF" group received 8 mg bupivacaine and 15 µg fentanyl intrathecally. The block onset, the duration of analgesia, and the time of discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) were all assessed. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 21, and P<0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The mean duration of motor blocks in the B group (150 min) were significantly higher than the BM (102 min) and BF (105 min) groups (P<0.0001). In both the BM and BF groups, the duration of sensory and motor blocks was the same. The length of stay in the PACU was significantly longer in the B group (P<0.001) than the BM and BF groups. When meperidine or fentanyl was added to bupivacaine, the duration of the analgesia lengthened (P<0.001). Conclusion: Intrathecal low-dose spinal anesthesia induced by bupivacaine (8 mg) in combination with meperidine and/or fentanyl for Cesarean section increased maternal hemodynamic stability, while ensuring effective anesthetic conditions, extending effective analgesia, and reducing the length of stay in PACU.Trial Registration Number: IRCT2015013119470N14.
