A Comparative Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Intrathecal Bupivacaine Alone, Intrathecal Bupivacaine Plus Dexmedetomidine and Intrathecal Bupivacaine Plus Magnesium Sulphate for the Prevention of Post-Spinal Anaesthesia Shivering in Transurethr

Background: Preventing the post spinal shivering that occurs frequently in patients undergoing TURP would be beneficial. This trial aimed at evaluating the affect of intrathecal Mgso4 and dexmedetomidine in terms of incidence and intensity of shivering. Methods: This prospective randomized, double-blinded control study enrolled Seventy five patients randomized in three groups. All patients received standard spinal anaesthesia with 2.5ml of hyperbaric bupivacaine heavy 0.5% (12.5mg). Group A- received 0.5ml of normal saline, Group B- received 5μg dexmedetomidine in 0.5ml saline, and Group C- received 25mg MgSO4 in 0.5ml saline in addition to hyperbaric bupivacaine. The primary objectives of this study were incidence and intensity of shivering, while secondary objective were total dose of Pethidine required to control Shivering, Sedation score and Complications including Hypotension, bradycardia, Nausea, Vomiting. All data were summarized as mean ± SD for continuous variables, numbers and percentages for categorical variables. P <0.05 was accepted as statistically significant. Results: incidence of post spinal anaesthesia shivering was statistically significant in group A (56%) as compare to group B (12%) and group C (32%). The shivering grades of the groups A and C were statistically significant (P<0.001) and B was not significant (P>0.05). Nausea, vomiting, bradycardia and hypotension were comparable between the groups. All patients in group A, 22 patients in group B, and 21patients in group C had sedation score of 2. Three patients in group B and four in group C had a sedation score of 3. Conclusion: Intrathecal injection of dexmedetomidine and MgSO4 with bupivacaine were effective in reducing the incidence as well as intensity of post-SA shivering

Mortality predictors during the third wave of COVID-19 pandemic: A multicentric retrospective analysis from tertiary care centers of Western India

Background: The COVID-19 has a varied mode of presentation in different regions of the world. This multicentric study was planned to evaluate the survival outcomes in intensive care unit-admitted patients admitted during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic on the basis of clinicodemographic profile and vaccination status. Methodology: Data from 299 patients admitted to three tertiary care centers in Western India were collected and analyzed. Based on survival outcomes, all patients were divided into two groups: survivors and nonsurvivors. Univariate analysis of the demographic profile, comorbidities, vaccination status, and disease severity was performed, whereas multivariate analysis was performed to predict independent factors associated with mortality. Results: Among total 299 studied patients, 208 (69.5%) patients survived and 91 (30.4%) did not. The number of elderly patients and patients with comorbidities such as diabetes, tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and malignancy were more prevalent among nonsurvivors. Patients who did not receive a single dose of vaccine were higher in the nonsurvivor group (P = 0.037); however, no significant difference in survival outcome was found if patients had received the first or both doses of vaccine. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score at 24 h after admission and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score at admission were significantly higher in nonsurvivors compared to survivors (P < 0.0001). On multivariate analysis, APACHE II and SOFA scores were found to be independent predictors of outcome. Conclusions: Older age, presence of comorbidities, nonvaccination and higher disease severity scores affected mortality during the third wave of COVID-19
