Abstract
INTRODUCTION The data comparing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) in patients with BMI ≥ 60 kg/m2 is scarce. METHODS Prospectively collected data of patients with BMI ≥ 60 kg/m2 undergoing LSG or OAGB from January 2008 until June 2022 was analyzed retrospectively. Weight loss outcomes, impact on comorbidities, and complications were compared in both groups. RESULTS Fifty-six patients underwent LSG and 13 patients underwent OAGB. The median age and BMI were 37 (34-44) years and 63 (61.3-64.6) kg/m2 respectively. Both the groups had similar baseline demographic parameters. The percentage excess BMI loss (%EBMIL) was statistically similar in LSG and OAGB groups at 1 year (46.2% vs 46.1%), 3 years (52.9% vs 56.7%), and 5 years (51.1% vs 62.3%). The percentage excess BMI regain was lower (although statistically similar) following OAGB at 3 years (5.3% vs 0.1%) and 5 years (12.9% vs 4.4%). OAGB was found to correlate positively with weight loss and negatively with weight regain (p > 0.05). There was one 30-day mortality due to postoperative lower respiratory infection in the LSG group. CONCLUSION OAGB has a trend towards better weight loss outcomes as compared to LSG in patients with a BMI ≥ 60 kg/m2 with lesser complication rates and might be a preferred option. LSG also has acceptable weight loss and should be considered a standalone procedure if OAGB is not feasible technically.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite an 18%-30% prevalence, there is no consensus regarding pathogenesis of emergence delirium after anesthesia in children. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an optical neuroimaging modality that relies on blood oxygen level-dependent response, translating to a mean increase in oxyhemoglobin and a decrease in deoxyhemoglobin. We aimed to correlate the emergence delirium in the postoperative period with the changes in the frontal cortex utilizing fNIRS reading primarily and also with blood glucose, serum electrolytes, and preoperative anxiety scores. METHODS A total of 145 ASA I and II children aged 2-5 years, undergoing ocular examination under anesthesia, were recruited by recording the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Score after acquiring the Institute Ethics Committee approval and written informed parental consent. Induction and maintenance were done with O2, N2O, and Sevoflurane. The emergence delirium was assessed using the PAED score in the postoperative period. The frontal cortex fNIRS recordings were taken throughout anesthesia. RESULTS A total of 59 children (40.7%) had emergence delirium. The ED+ group had a significant activation left superior frontal cortex (t = 2.26E+00; p = .02) and right middle frontal cortex (t = 2.27E+00; p = .02) during induction, significant depression in the left middle frontal (t = -2.22E+00; p = .02), left superior frontal and bilateral medial (t = -3.01E+00; p = .003), right superior frontal and bilateral medial (t = -2.44E+00; p = .015), bilateral medial and superior (t = -3.03E+00; p = .003), and right middle frontal cortex (t = -2.90E+00; p = .004) during the combined phase of maintenance, and significant activation in cortical activity in the left superior frontal cortex (t = 2.01E+00; p = .0047) during the emergence in comparison with the ED- group. CONCLUSION There is significant difference in the change in oxyhemoglobin concentration during induction, maintenance, and emergence in specific frontal brain regions between children with and without emergence delirium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately 16%-62% of patients undergoing non cardiac surgeries develop postoperative cognitive dysfunction. We compared the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction in older adults aged 60-80 years who underwent open abdominal surgeries under general anaesthesia using isoflurane or desflurane and correlated it with the serum concentration of interleukin 1, interleukin 6, tumour necrosis factor alpha, amyloid β and S100 on postoperative day 3. METHOD Forty American Association of Anesthesiologists Physical Classification I or II patients were included after acquiring institutional ethics committee approval, registering in the Clinical Trials Registry - India, and informed written consent. They underwent open abdominal surgery under general anaesthesia and epidurals between 2017 and 2019. Patients with substance abuse or any disorder affecting cognition were excluded. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction was assessed by Stroop test, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Trail making test - B, Porteus Maze test, PGI memory scale, mini-mental state examination, and Bender Gestalt test the day before surgery and on the third postoperative day along with blood samples. RESULTS Thirty-seven percent of the patients developed postoperative cognitive dysfunction. The risk was similar to isoflurane in comparison with desflurane (risk ratio: 0.65, 95% confidence interval: 0.30, 1.40). A significant percentage increase in reaction time for Porteus Maze test and Trail making test - B was noted with isoflurane (6.69 (4.20-8.94) and 8.01 (2.08-12.5), respectively) in comparison with desflurane group (13.01 (9.09-17.33), p = 0.003 and 11.62 (7.5-17.5), p = 0.017, respectively). CONCLUSION Isoflurane and desflurane had a similar impact on the elderly for developing postoperative cognitive dysfunction and no correlation with any of the biomarkers used in the study on postoperative day 3.

Abstract
Introduction Predicting which patients with acute circulatory failure will respond to the fluid by an increase in cardiac output is a daily challenge. End-expiratory occlusion test (EEOT) and mini-fluid challenge (MFC) can be used for assessing fluid responsiveness in patients with spontaneous breathing activity, cardiac arrhythmias, low-tidal volume and/or low lung compliance. Methods The objective of the study is to evaluate the value of EEOT and MFC-induced rise in left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) velocity time integral (VTI) in predicting fluid responsiveness in acute circulatory failure in comparison to the passive leg-raising (PLR) test. Hundred critically ill ventilated and sedated patients with acute circulatory failure were studied. LVOT VTI was measured by transthoracic echocardiography before and after EEOT (interrupting the ventilator at end-expiration over 15 s), and before and after MFC (100 ml of Ringer lactate was infused over 1 min). The variation of LVOT VTI after EEOT and the MFC was calculated from the baseline. Sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver-operating characteristic (AUROC) curve of LVOT VTI after EEOT and MFC to predict fluid responsiveness were determined. Results After PLR, stroke volume (SV) increased by ≥12% in 49 patients, who were defined as responders and 34 patients in whom the increase in SV <12% were defined as nonresponders. A cutoff of 9.1% Change in VTI after MFC (ΔVTIMFC) predicted fluid responsiveness with an AUROC of 0.96 (P < 0.001) with sensitivity and specificity of 91.5% and 88.9%, respectively. Change in VTI after EEOT (ΔVTIEEOT) >4.3% predicted fluid responsiveness with sensitivity and specificity 89.4% and 88.9%, respectively, with an AUROC of 0.97 (P < 0.001), but in 17 patients, EEOT was not possible because triggering of the ventilator by the patient's inspiratory effort. Conclusion In conclusion, in mechanically ventilated patients with acute circulatory failure Δ VTIMFC and Δ VTI EEOT accurately predicts fluid responsiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic steroid intake has been associated with attenuation of neuromuscular block. Despite some promising animal and adult studies, the effect of a single dose of intravenous dexamethasone on neuromuscular blockers is not well established. Thus, the present study aimed to demonstrate the effect of dexamethasone given at the time of induction for the prevention of PONV on the action of neuromuscular blockers in children undergoing elective surgery. METHOD After obtaining approval from the Institute Ethics Committee and written informed parental consent, 100 ASA I and II children aged 4-15 years undergoing elective surgery randomized to receive either: 0.15 mg/kg (maximum of 5 mg) of dexamethasone diluted to a total volume of 2 ml with 0.9% saline (n = 50) or 2 ml of 0.9% saline (n = 50) at the time of induction. The time interval between application of atracurium and maximum T1 depression, 25% twitch height recovery of T1, amid 25% and 75% twitch height recovery of T1, amid the 25% twitch height recovery of T1 and recovery of the neuromuscular block to a TOF ratio of 0.9, and in between the initiation of atracurium injection till the recovery of the neuromuscular block to a TOF ratio of 0.9 was defined as onset time, clinical duration, recovery index, recovery time, and total recovery period, respectively, and recorded. RESULTS The onset time and recovery index time were lower (1.96 ± 0.39, 8.04 ± 2.14, respectively) with dexamethasone in comparison with saline (2.01 ± 0.51, 8.9 ± 3.4, respectively) but not statistically significant. The clinical duration, recovery time, and total recovery period were similar. CONCLUSION Application of a single bolus dose (0.15 mg/kg) of dexamethasone during induction does not attenuate atracurium-induced neuromuscular blockade in children.

Abstract
Cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) is a useful therapeutic option for patients with ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) refractory to anti-arrhythmic agents and/or catheter ablation. However, the experience is mostly limited to non-structural heart disease in paediatric patients. The advent of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) with its reduced morbidity has encouraged the use of VATS CSD in patients with structural heart disease. In this series, we report the surgical and cardiac outcomes of VATS-guided CSD in four patients who presented with electrical storm in the setting of different structural cardiomyopathies. Four patients underwent VATS-guided CSD at our centre during the period 2019-2021 after failure of conventional medical and/or ablative treatment for the management of refractory VAs. All four patients presented with electrical storm with different cardiomyopathies including ischaemic (post-acute myocardial infarction) and non-ischaemic aetiologies (sarcoidosis, non-specific right ventricular cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy). A combined total of 349 implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shocks were registered in the 4 weeks preceding the procedure with mean shocks of 87 per patient. All four patients successfully underwent CSD through the VATS approach with no operative mortality or any major surgical morbidity. All patients had resolution of electrical storms with 75% of patients remaining free of ICD shocks at a mean follow-up of 14.87 months. One patient who remained free of ICD shocks and recurrent VAs died at 23 months after the procedure due to progressive heart failure and complications. VATS CSD is a safe and effective complementary therapeutic modality in patients with life-threatening refractory VAs and electrical storms irrespective of the underlying substrate.

Abstract
Background and aims Regional anaesthesia has been advocated as a preferred modality during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19) pandemic, but pursuing regional anaesthesia during COVID-19 is challenging. Our cross-sectional survey aimed to analyze the challenges in conducting regional anaesthesia and the alterations in practices imposed by the COVID‑19 pandemic across the nation. Material and methods The questionnaire was validated by seven experts. Following ethical approval and trial registration, this Google Forms-based survey was circulated to anaesthesiologists across the country via emails over 3 months (April 2021 to June 2021). Weekly reminders were sent to the non-responders till the desired sample size was attained, after which the survey was closed and responses were analyzed. Results Five hundred and thirty-two of 1100 anaesthesiologists completed the survey (48.3% response rate). Among the 532 respondents, 65.8% reported an increase in the use of regional anaesthesia due to the pandemic, with 77.4% reporting a change in practice. Almost 90% of the respondents used a dedicated operation theatre for all infected patients. Most respondents (75%) used disposable plastic drapes (75%) and full personal protective equipment (PPE) for COVID-19-positive patients during the procedure. However, using PPE resulted in poor vision due to fogging and multiple attempts and increased performance duration. Most respondents (74.4%) used gloves to maintain ultrasound probe sterility, while many other respondents (65.7%) used a sterile camera cover for the same. Many respondents ordered inflammatory markers during preoperative evaluation. Conclusion The present survey revealed that there was increased utilization of regional anaesthesia with increased utilization of PPE, sterility routines, and ordering of investigations. The use of PPE led to many challenges while performing regional anaesthesia. However, many deviations were identified from the accepted recommendations, and one needs to be aware of proper practices to achieve optimal patient outcomes and provider safety.

Abstract
Background Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction due to dysregulated host response to infection. Timely identification is important for risk reduction and better outcomes in critically ill patients. Nucleosomes and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase1 (TIMP1) are the biomarkers whose validity and utility in predicting organ dysfunction and mortality in sepsis have been proven. However, which biomarker among these two has better predictive value in elucidating disease severity, organ dysfunction, and mortality in sepsis is yet to be answered, and further studies are needed. Methods Eighty patients with sepsis/septic shock, aged between 18 and 75 years admitted in intensive care unit (ICU) were recruited in this prospective observational trial. Quantification of serum nucleosomes and TIMP1 was done using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) within 24 hours of diagnosis of sepsis/septic shock. The primary outcome was to compare the predictability of nucleosomes and TIMP1 in estimating sepsis mortality. Results The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) for TIMP1 and nucleosomes to discriminate between survivors and non-survivors were 0.70 [95% Confidence interval (CI), 0.58-0.81] and 0.68 (0.56-0.80), respectively. Although independent, TIMP1 and nucleosomes have statistically significant capacity to discriminate between survivors and non-survivors (p = 0.002 and p = 0.004, respectively), superiority of one biomarker over the other in discriminating between survivors and non-survivors was not observed. Conclusion The median values of each biomarker showed statistically significant differences between survivors and non-survivors, superiority of one biomarker over other in predicting mortality was not observed. However, this was an observational study and larger studies are needed in the future to validate the findings of this study.

Abstract
The risk of complications after bariatric surgery is high in morbidly obese patients suffering from liver cirrhosis along with moderate to severe portal hypertension. Esophageal varices are even considered as a contraindication for bariatric surgery by many surgeons. We report the case of a 40-year-old gentleman with a body mass index of 65.3 kg/m2 , with multiple comorbidities including type 2 diabetes mellitus, severe obstructive sleep apnea. On evaluation, he had Child-Pugh A liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension along with grade III esophageal varices and splenomegaly. After adequate optimization, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy was performed. The patient is doing well at a follow up of 12 months with an adequate weight loss and resolution of comorbidities. Sleeve gastrectomy can be performed in a morbidly obese Child-Pugh A cirrhotic patient with portal hypertension and esophageal varices with proper counseling regarding more than usual risk for morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Experimental work comparing 3-Dimensional (3D) and 4K ultra-high-definition endovision system (4K) indicates that the latter with double the resolution of standard 2D high-definition systems may provide additional visual cues to compensate for the lack of stereoscopic vision. There is paucity of studies comparing 3D and 4K system in clinical settings. This randomized study compares 3D and 4K systems in three laparoscopic procedures of increasing complexity. METHODS 139 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (60 patients), transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair (49 patients) and laparoscopic Heller's cardiomyotomy with anti- reflux procedure (30 patients) between May 2018 and February 2020 were randomized to undergo surgery using either 3D or 4K systems. Primary objective was to measure total operative time. Secondary objectives were to compare workload perceived by surgeons using SURG-TLX and surgeon satisfaction score. Timings of key surgical steps and peri-operative course of the patients was also recorded. Data were analyzed using Stata Corp. 2015. RESULTS Patients undergoing surgery with 3D and 4K systems were comparable in their clinical and demographic profiles. The mean total operative time in 3D and 4K groups was comparable in cholecystectomy (52.7 vs 56.2, p = 0.50), TAPP (63.8 vs 69.6, p = 0.25) and Heller's cardiomyotomy (124.7 vs 143.3, p = 0.14) with faster hiatal dissection in 3D group (8 min, p = 0.02). Operative time was better in patients undergoing Heller's myotomy with Angle of His accentuation with 3D by 28 min (p = 0.03). Total workload was similar in 3D and 4K groups in all the procedures but mental & physical demand was lower in 3D group in Heller's cardiomyotomy (p = 0.03, p = 0.01), Surgeon satisfaction score was comparable in all three procedures. CONCLUSION Overall, 3D HD and 4K systems are comparable in performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, TAPP and Heller's Cardiomyotomy. Hiatal dissection time, mental and physical task load was better with 3D in Heller's Cardiomyotomy.

Abstract
Background: Selective spinal anesthesia has been safely applied for short-duration outpatient gynecological laparoscopic procedure. However, this anesthesia technique is often inadequate and not tolerated by awake patients due to pneumoperitoneum and visceral manipulation. Aims: We aimed to conduct a study to compare spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine, fentanyl, and i.v. sedation with i.v. sedation and laparoscopic port-site infiltration with local anaesthetic in outpatient laparoscopic tubal ligation procedures. Settings and Design: 100 female patients posted for elective surgeries were recruited for a prospective single blind randomised control trial in a tertiary care center in two groups. Materials and Methods: In Group S, patients receive intrathecal 3 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% plus 20 microgram fentanyl along with intravenous (i.v.) fentanyl at 1μg.kg-1.h-1 and in Group C i.v. fentanyl at 1μg.kg-1.h-1 along with laparoscopic port site infiltration with 0.5% bupivacaine. Postoperatively, overall patient satisfaction, visual analog score (VAS) score, duration of motor blockade, sensory blockade, and time to attain discharge criteria and any adverse. Statistical Analysis: Continuous variables between the groups were compared by the independent t-test and Wilcoxon rank sum. Chi-square and Fisher exact test used for the categorical value. Results: Overall VAS was significantly lower and patient satisfaction was higher in Group S than Group C. Time to oral intake was significantly prolonged in Group C 126.33 (±29.54) compared to group S 110.81 (±29.54). The requirement of total rescue analgesia (fentanyl) was significantly higher in Group C 2.0 (±0.6) μg.kg-1 compared to group S 0.79 (±0.53) μg.kg-1. Incidence of postoperative nausea vomiting (PONV) was significantly greater in Group C while incidence of pruritus was significantly greater in Group S. Conclusion: Low-dose intrathecal anesthesia with 3 mg bupivacaine and 20 μg fentanyl provided better analgesia, patient satisfaction and with less opioids consumption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of bariatric surgery on atherosclerosis is a relatively less studied subject. Obesity has been identified as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), a surrogate marker for atherosclerosis and risk of CVD, has been found to be associated with obesity. Recent literature has shown that there is significant reduction in CIMT following bariatric surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of bariatric surgery on CIMT and risk of CVD in an Indian population. METHODS This is a prospective study conducted in a tertiary referral centre in India. Patients undergoing bariatric surgery from December 2017 to September 2019 were included. CIMT measurements and American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA)-pooled cohort CVD risk scores were done before and at 6 months and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS Fifty-four patients were enrolled, of which 70% were females. Mean age was 40.8 ± 10.7 years. Mean pre-operative weight and mean BMI were 115.2 ± 21.9 kg and 45.9 ± 6.5 kg/m2, respectively. Patients who completed 12-month follow-up were considered for analysis of outcomes. There was significant reduction in BMI to 33.1 ± 5.7 kg/m2 at 12 months after surgery (p < 0.0001). Mean CIMT reduced significantly from 0.58 ± 0.08 mm at baseline to 0.52 ± 0.10 mm at 12 months. Lipid profile, fasting blood sugar and HbA1C also improved, which resulted in reduction of lifetime and 10-year CVD risk from 42.3 to 26% and 4 to 1.5%, respectively, at 12 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery results in significant reduction in CIMT and CVD risk in patients with morbid obesity.

Abstract
Background Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) has become the gold standard to provide postoperative analgesia in breast surgery. Recently, ultrasound-guided (USG) pectoralis (PECS) block and serratus anterior plane (SAP) block have been described as an alternative to TPVB. The objectives were to compare TPVB, PECS, and SAP block in terms of analgesic efficacy and the spread of local anesthetic by ultrasound imaging, correlating it with the sensory blockade. Materials and Methods Prospective randomized interventional study conducted in 45 ASA grades I-II patients scheduled for the elective breast surgery. Patients were randomly allocated into three groups, i.e., Gr.1 (USG -TPVB) (ropivacaine 0.375% 20 ml), Gr.2 (USG-PECS II) block (ropivacaine 0.375% 30 ml), and Gr.3 (USG-SAP) (ropivacaine 0.375% 30 ml). Spread of the local anesthetics was seen with ultrasound imaging. Onset of sensory blockade, postoperative fentanyl consumption, and pain scores was measured. Results TPVB and SAP group had comparatively higher spread and sensory block compared to PECS group. Postoperative fentanyl requirement (mean ± SD) was 428.33 ± 243.1 μg, 644.67 ± 260.15 μg, and 415 ± 182.44 μg in the TPVB group, PECS II group, and SAP group, respectively. SAP group had significantly lesser requirement than PECS II group (P = 0.028) but similar requirement as in TPVB group (P = 1.0). Pain scores were not significantly different among the group in the postoperative period. Conclusion TPVB and SAP group result in a greater spread of the drug and provide equivalent analgesia and are superior to the PECS II block in providing analgesia for breast surgeries. SAP block is easier to perform than TPVB with lesser chances of complications and results in faster onset.

Abstract
PURPOSE Encouraged by the excellent outcomes of one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) reported by many authors, we added this procedure to our bariatric armamentarium in 2015. Here we present our initial experience of 68 cases and findings from routine upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at 1 year. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database of a single surgical unit in a tertiary referral centre. Patients undergoing OAGB from January 2015 to May 2019 were included. A fixed biliopancreatic (BP) limb length of 200 cm was used in all patients. Surveillance endoscopy was done at 1-year follow-up. RESULTS Sixty-eight patients, of whom 67.6% were females, were analysed. Mean age was 40.8 ± 1 years. Mean preoperative weight and body mass index (BMI) were 131 ± 24.7 kg and 51 ± 7 kg/m2, respectively. Median follow-up was 23 months (range 9-55 months), with 88% follow-up at 6 months and 1 year. At 1 year, mean total weight loss (TWL) and excess weight loss (EWL) were 35% and 71%, respectively. Endoscopy at 1 year revealed a 9.5% rate of marginal ulcers, majority of which healed with conservative treatment. Eighty-eight percent patients had complete remission of diabetes, and 94% had complete remission of hypertension. There was no 30-day mortality. CONCLUSION OAGB is a safe and effective bariatric procedure with excellent short-term outcomes in terms of weight loss, resolution of obesity-related co-morbidities and complications. Routine surveillance endoscopy at 1 year may detect asymptomatic marginal ulcers and, thus, prevent ulcer-related complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lumbar radicular pain (LRP) results from inflammation and irritation of lumbar spinal nerves and the dorsal root ganglion (DRG). METHODS Our study is a prospective, triple-blind, randomized, activecontrol trial (CTRI/2016/02/006666) comparing transforaminal epidural local anesthetic (LA) injection and pulsed radiofrequency treatment of DRG in patients with chronic LRP. Patients with LRP after failed conservative management for >3 months received selective diagnostic nerve root block with 1 mL 2% lidocaine. Fifty patients showing positive responses were divided into groups of 25 each. The LA group received transforaminal epidural injection of 1 mL 0.5% bupivacaine. The lumbar pulsed radiofrequency (LPRF) group received transforaminal epidural injection of 1 mL 0.5% bupivacaine with 3 cycles of pulsed radiofrequency of the DRG for 180 seconds RESULTS: Both groups were compared by observing pain intensity on a 0- to 100-point VAS and improvement in functional status by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI version 2.0) at 2 weeks and 1, 2, 3, and 6 months. All baseline variables were comparable between the 2 groups. Statistically significant reduction in both outcomes was seen in the LPRF group compared to the LA group from 2 weeks to 6 months. One hundred percent of patients in the LPRF group had a ≥20- point decrease in VAS and significant percentage reduction in ODI at all time intervals up to 6 months, whereas it was seen in 80% and 28% of patients in the LA group at 3 and 6 months, respectively. No complications were seen in any patients CONCLUSION: Pulsed radiofrequency of the DRG applied for longer duration results in long-term pain relief and improvement in the functional quality of life in patients with chronic LRP.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to compare the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided single-shot caudal block with ultrasound-guided single-shot paravertebral block in children undergoing renal surgeries. DESIGN Randomised, interventional, blinded clinical trial. SETTING Operating rooms of All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India. PATIENTS 50 children aged 2-10 years, of ASA status I/II, posted for elective renal surgeries. INTERVENTIONS The children were randomised into two groups (Group C-caudal block, Group P-paravertebral block). After induction of general anesthesia, single-shot caudal or paravertebral block was performed under ultrasound guidance, with 0.2% ropivacaine with 1:200000 adrenaline. MEASUREMENTS Time to first rescue analgesia, time to perform blocks, intraoperative and post-operative hemodynamics, post-operative FLACC scores, incidence of complications, parental satisfaction scores were recorded. MAIN RESULTS Children in Group P had significantly longer duration of analgesia (p < 0.0004) than Group C. Post-operative FLACC scores (p < 0.005) and analgesic requirements (p < 0.0004) were lower in Group P. The mean fentanyl requirement over 24 h in group P was 0.56 ± 0.82 μg/kg, compared to 1.8 ± 1.2 μg/kg in group C. Parents in Group P reported greater satisfaction (p < 0.02). No complications were seen in either of the groups. CONCLUSION This study showed superior analgesia and parental satisfaction with single-shot paravertebral block in comparison to single-shot caudal block for renal surgeries in children. However, the block performance in children requires adequate expertise and practice.

Abstract
Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare time to intubation and glottic visualization between Macintosh, McCoy, and Glidescope video laryngoscope (GVL) in morbidly obese patients. Methodology: Forty-five American Society of Anesthesiologists I–III morbidly obese patients were randomized into three groups of 15 each and time to intubation, Cormack–Lehane grading, and Intubation Difficulty Score (IDS) were compared. Results: GVL took more time to intubate (TTI) compared to Macintosh and McCoy laryngoscope (P = 0.0001). Overall IDS were similar between the groups. Conclusion: To conclude, GVL takes longer TTI with no added advantage in IDS and hemodynamic response to intubation in morbidly obese patients. McCoy is only as effective as Macintosh and hence Macintosh laryngoscope should be laryngoscope of choice due to its widespread availability and familiarity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Few studies have addressed the mid to long term impact of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) on weight loss and obesity associated co-morbidities, particularly in Indian population. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of LSG in morbid obesity over 3-7 years follow up. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data of all patients who underwent LSG between January 2008 and March 2015 and completed their at least 1 year follow up till March 2016 was retrospectively reviewed using a prospectively collected database. RESULTS 424 patients undergoing primary LSG were included. The mean age (±2SD) was 39.8 ± 22.5 years and the mean Body Mass Index (BMI) (±2SD) was 46.67 ± 15.8 kg/m2. 124 patients (29.2%) were super-obese (BMI >50 kg/m2). The percentage follow-up at 1 year, 3 years, 5 years and 7 years was 78.3%, 66.7%, 42.3% and 38.4% respectively. The mean percentage Excess weight Loss (%EWL) (±2SD) at 1year, 3years, 5years, and 7years was 71.8 (±50.5%), 64.95% (±41.8%), 61.7% (±46.2%) and 57.15% (±50.2%) respectively. The preoperative BMI significantly correlated with %EWL at 5 year (r2 = 0.107, p = 0.018). The overall complication rate was 5.8%. Early complications included staple line leak (1.2%), bleeding (1.2%), deep venous thrombosis (0.4%) and 30-day mortality (0.21%). Late complications included stricture formation (0.21%) and new onset Gastro-esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) (2.8%).At 5 years, 83.3% of diabetic patients showed remission while rest showed improvement in glycemic control with decrease in dosage. 69.3% patients showed improvement in hypertension, 100% patients showed improvement in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, 75% patients showed improvement in hypothyroidism after surgery. GERD resolved in 62.8% patients while worsened in 11.4% patients. CONCLUSIONS LSG has durable weight loss at 5 year with %EWL of 61% and significant resolution of obesity associated co-morbidities.

Abstract
Background: Clonidine improves quality and prolongs the duration of analgesia in ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block when given along with local anesthetic and as well as premedication. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of oral and regional clonidine for postoperative analgesia in pediatric population after ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric block. Materials and Methods: Sixty children aged between 1 and 8 years scheduled for elective hernia surgery were randomly allocated to three groups. Group I received oral midazolam and regional bupivacaine, Group II received oral midazolam with oral clonidine and regional bupivacaine, and Group III received oral midazolam and regional clonidine with bupivacaine. Preoperative sedation and separation score and postoperative duration and quality of analgesia, analgesic need, sedation score, and side effects of clonidine were assessed up to 6 h, postoperatively. Results: Duration of analgesia was prolonged in Group II (2.83 ± 2.01 h) and Group III (4.43 ± 2.29 h) compared to Group I (3.98 ± 2.58 h), but the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.161). Analgesic requirement was comparable between all the groups intraoperatively (P = 0.708) and postoperatively (P = 0.644). Group II had better parental separation (P < 0.001) and sedation score (P < 0.001) compared to Group I and III. Postoperatively, patients of Group II and III were more sedated compared to Group I up to 120 min. Adverse effects of clonidine were equally distributed in all the groups. Conclusion: Both oral and regional clonidine was equally efficacious in prolongation of duration and quality of analgesia. Oral clonidine produces better preoperative sedation and parenteral separation which is an added advantage in pediatric population.

Abstract
Context: Dexmedetomidine is being increasingly used in nerve blocks. However, there are only a few dose determination studies. Aims: To compare two doses of dexmedetomidine, in femoral nerve block, for postoperative analgesia after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Settings and Design: A prospective, randomized, controlled trial was conducted in the Department of Anesthesia at AIIMS, a Tertiary Care Hospital. Materials and Methods: Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists I–II patients undergoing TKA under subarachnoid block were randomized to three Groups A, B, and C. Control Group A received 20 ml (0.25%) of bupivacaine in femoral nerve block. Groups B and C received 1 and 2 μg/kg dexmedetomidine along with bupivacaine for the block, respectively. Outcomes measured were analgesic efficacy measured in terms of visual analog scale (VAS) score at rest and passive motion, duration of postoperative analgesia, and postoperative morphine consumption. Adverse effects of dexmedetomidine were also studied. Statistical Analysis Used: All qualitative data were analyzed using Chi-square test and VAS scores using Kruskal–Wallis test. Comparison of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) morphine consumption and time to first use of PCA were done using ANOVA followed by Least Significant Difference test. A P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The VAS score at rest was significantly lower in Group C compared to Groups A and B (P < 0.05). There was no difference in VAS score at motion between Groups B and C. The mean duration of analgesia was significantly longer in Group C (6.66 h) compared to Groups A (4.55 h) and B (5.70 h). Postoperative mean morphine consumption was significantly lower in Group C (22.85 mg) compared to Group A (32.15 mg) but was comparable to Group B (27.05 mg). There was no significant difference in adverse effects between the groups. Conclusion: The use of dexmedetomidine at 2 μg/kg dose in femoral nerve block is superior to 1 μg/kg for providing analgesia after TKA, although its role in facilitating early ambulation needs further evaluation.

Abstract
Obstructing lesions of the central airways present with a variety of symptoms and are often associated with pneumonia or asthma-like states. Anesthesia to these patients often presents challenges right from the preoperative stabilization of underlying lung condition, mask ventilation in the supine position to maintaining oxygenation and ventilation in the intraoperative and postoperative period. We present here a case of a young woman with a central bronchial tumor with significant airway obstruction with potential for major bleeding and subsequent anesthetic management without lung sacrificing measures and cardiopulmonary bypass assistance.

Abstract
Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (FICB) has been widely used as a postoperative analgesic adjunct to opioids for total hip arthroplasty (THA), either by the conventional infrainguinal approach or the modified proximal suprainguinal approach irrespective of any specific advantage of one over the other. This study was conducted to compare the analgesic efficacy of the two techniques of FICB for postoperative analgesia. The 40 patients scheduled for THA were recruited for Intervention (s) and randomized to receive FICB either by suprainguinal approach (group S) or infrainguinal approach (group I) for postoperative analgesia with 40 ml of 0.2% bupivacaine, in addition to postoperative patient controlled analgesia (PCA) with morphine. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and PCA morphine consumption was used to assess the postoperative pain at 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours. The primary outcome was cumulative PCA morphine consumption in 24 hours. The pain intensity as measured by VAS scores showed significant reduction of intensity at 6 hours post block in group S as compared to group I (median [IQR]; 2[0-3]; 3[2.25-3]; p = 0.001) but, there was no significant difference in VAS at 12 and 24 hours. Postoperatively, there was significant difference in time to first PCA morphine demand (356.28 ± 33.32 vs 291.48 ± 37.17, p = < 0.001, respectively) in-group S vs. group I. The postoperative morphine consumption was also significantly less in group S compared to group I at 6, 12 and 24 hours and the cumulative morphine consumption in 24 hours (6.95 ± 2.14 vs 10.50 ± 2.24, p = < 0.001 respectively) was also less. In conclusion, in THA, suprainguinal approach of FICB has a superior postoperative analgesic efficacy compared to infrainguinal approach of FICB along with significantly less morphine consumption in first 24 hours.

Abstract
CONTEXT Ultrasound-guided internal jugular vein (IJV) cannulation is known for increasing success rate and decreasing rate of complications. The ultrasound image can be used as a real time image during cannulation or to prelocate the IJV before attempting cannulation. AIMS This study compares both the ultrasound-guided technique with the classical anatomical landmark technique (central approach) for right IJV cannulation in terms of success rate, complications, and time for cannulation. SETTINGS AND DESIGN A prospective, randomized, observational study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred twenty patients requiring IJV cannulation were included in this study and were randomly allocated in three groups. Number of attempts, success rate, venous access time, catheterization time, and complications were observed in each group. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED Statistical analysis was performed using STATA-9 software. Demographic data were compared using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Nonparametric data were compared using the Kruskall-Wallis test, and multiple comparisons were done applying The Mann-Whitney test for individual pairs of groups. Nominal data were compared by applying the Chi-square test and Fisher exact test. RESULTS Successful cannulation (≤3 attempt) was achieved in 90.83% of patients without any statistical significant difference between the groups. Venous access time and catheterization time was found to be significantly less in both the ultrasound groups than the anatomical land mark group. Number of attempts and success in first attempt was similar between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Both the ultrasound techniques are found to be better than the anatomical landmark technique. Further, ultrasound-guided prelocation was found to be as effective as ultrasound guided real-time imaging technique for right IJV cannulation.

Abstract
Symbiotically essential genes have been identified in Rhizobium meliloti that are structurally and functionally related to chromosomal virulence (chv) genes of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Homologous sequences also exist in the genomes of other fast-growing rhizobia including Rhizobium trifolii, Rhizobium leguminosarum, and Rhizobium phaseoli. In Agrobacterium, the chvA and chvB loci are known to be essential for oncogenic transformation of dicotyledonous plants and for attachment to plant cells [Douglas, C. J., Staneloni, R. J., Rubin, R. A. & Nester, E. W. (1985) J. Bacteriol. 64, 102-106], and the chvB locus has been implicated in the production of (1-->2)-beta-glucan, a unique exopolysaccharide component [Puvanesarajah, V., Schell, F. M., Stacey, G., Douglas, C. J. & Nester, E. W. (1985) J. Bacteriol. 164, 102-106]. Site-directed transposon insertion mutants in the chvA and chvB-equivalent regions of R. meliloti are symbiotically defective. Mutants in the chvB-equivalent region have been examined in detail and have been found to induce the formation of nodule-like structures on alfalfa that are devoid of bacteroids, lack infection threads, and cannot fix nitrogen. Such mutants fluoresce normally in the presence of Calcofluor, a histochemical stain for beta-linked polysaccharides, and produce normal amounts of total exopolysaccharide. The Rhizobium loci have been designated ndv because of their requirement for nodule development.

Abstract
Iatrogenic flail chest following resection of part of the chest wall in postoperative patients is a challenging scenario for the anesthetist. It can lead to long term morbidity and even death, if adequate management is not instituted. We describe the management of postoperative flail chest, following resection of upper two-third of the sternum along with costal cartilages for a malignant thymoma invading the sternum in an adult male with the use of continuous epidural analgesia and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), which provided pneumatic stabilization and an excellent recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is to study the effect of adding various doses of fentanyl to 2.2 mL of bupivacaine (0.5% hyperbaric), for spinal anesthetic in non-obstetric population undergoing superficial lower abdominal surgery (hernia repair). METHODS A population of 60 patients belonging to ASA classes I and II, scheduled for elective inguinal hernia repair, were randomized to receive a spinal anesthetic with 2.2 mL of bupivacaine (0.5% hyperbaric) and saline (control group), or fentanyl 10, 20, 30, or 40 microg. The volume of injected drug was kept constant at 3 mL by adding preservative-free saline for blinding purposes. Subarachnoid block characteristics, drug-related side effects, and postoperative analgesia requirements were assessed and recorded. RESULTS Significant improvement in quality and duration of analgesia occurred in treatment groups (receiving fentanyl and bupivacaine) compared with the control group (saline and bupivacaine) (P < .05). However, no improvement in analgesia occurred when the dose of fentanyl added was increased from 10 to 20, 30, or 40 microg. CONCLUSIONS The data suggest that in a non-obstetric population receiving spinal anesthetic for superficial lower abdominal surgery (hernia repair), addition of 10 microg fentanyl to bupivacaine 0.5% (hyperbaric) significantly improves the quality and duration of analgesia. No further advantage occurs if the dose of fentanyl is increased up to 40 mug.

Abstract
Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is associated with renal failure, diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy and vasculopathy. We report the first successful simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant in India in a young diabetic with renal failure. The dual transplant has cured his diabetes and renal failure and has had a beneficial effect on his neuropathy, retinopathy and quality of life. Obstacles to dual transplant in India include a lack of suitable recipients and a cadaver donor programme that is still in its infancy.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To study the role of magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) on analgesic requirement, pain, discomfort, and sleep during perioperative period. DESIGN prospective, double-blinded, randomized study. SETTINGS Operating room and recovery ward at a university teaching hospital. PATIENTS 50 ASA physical status I and II patients scheduled for elective open cholecystectomy with general anesthesia. INTERVENTIONS patients were randomly allocated to receive MgSO4 or saline intravenously (i.v.). Patients in the magnesium group received 50% MgSO4 (50 mg kg(-1)) in 100 mL saline and those in the control group received an equal volume of saline i.v. during the preoperative period followed by 50 mL hr(-1) infusion of either MgSO4 (15 mg kg(-1) hr(-1)) or saline until the end of surgery. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Morphine requirement, pain during rest and on coughing, discomfort, and insomnia were assessed during the postoperative period for 24 hours. Intravenous morphine 40 microg kg(-1) increments were given to all patients in the postoperative period for analgesia. Patients in the magnesium and control groups had similar morphine requirement during the first 24 hours postoperatively (p = 0.07). Patients in the magnesium group experienced less discomfort during the first hour after the operation. They also had better sleep quality during the first postoperative night than did the control group patients (p < 0.05). The frequency of side effects was similar in the two groups. CONCLUSION Administration of intraoperative MgSO4 as an adjuvant analgesic in patients undergoing open cholecystectomy resulted in better pain relief and comfort in the first postoperative hour, but it did not significantly decrease the postoperative morphine requirement. Magnesium sulphate resulted in better sleep quality during the postoperative period, without any significant adverse effects. The role of MgSO4 as an adjuvant analgesic in open cholecystectomy needs to be studied further.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The anaesthetic potency of volatile anaesthetic agents is measured by the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) required to suppress response in 50% of subjects. We studied the effect of epidural morphine on MAC of isoflurane in humans. SETTINGS AND DESIGN A prospective single-blind study designed to study the effect of epidural morphine on MAC of isoflurane. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Forty-eight patients were randomly divided into two groups - Group I patients received 3 mg morphine in 10 ml saline, and Group II patients received 10 ml saline epidurally. Anaesthesia was induced with isoflurane in oxygen and nitrous oxide. Later nitrous oxide was discontinued and MAC of isoflurane determined using modified Dixon's method of sequential sampling. RESULTS Epidural morphine resulted in a significant reduction in MAC of isoflurane, 0.98 vs. 1.14 in control group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Epidural administration of 3 mg morphine in 10 ml saline decreased the MAC of isoflurane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although day care laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DCLC) has been shown to be safe in centres with adequate infrastructure for day care surgery, its feasibility and safety in developing countries has never been studied. Because of differences in the quality of health care delivery, western guidelines for day care surgery cannot be universally applied to developing countries. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients less than 65 years who were graded I and II on the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status score, irrespective of their educational status, living within 20 km, and willing to make their own arrangements for a return to hospital in case of problems were selected for DCLC. Follow up was done by patients calling the hospital the morning after surgery. RESULTS 50% of the eligibility criteria were new; 313/383 patients were suitable for DCLC. The commonest cause for rejection was that the patient lived out of the defined area (50%). Altogether 92% were discharged within eight hours of surgery. The reasons for failure to discharge were the presence of abdominal drains in four (2%), nausea and vomiting in nine (3%), and conversion to open surgery in five (2%). Ten patients (3%) were readmitted; of these only two (<1%) had complications needing re-exploration. Analysis of results showed that the inclusion and discharge criteria were valid and that the readmission and complication rates as well as the ease and accuracy of follow up were comparable to published data. DCLC reduced waiting times and increased patient turnover and may have a positive impact on resident training. CONCLUSIONS DCLC is safe, feasible, and has potential benefits for health care delivery in developing countries. Each surgical service needs to develop their own guidelines based on local patient demography.

Abstract
Cerebellopontine-angle meningioma is a rare intracranial neoplasm. It presents a difficult problem in pregnancy. A 27-year-old multigravida presented with headache, vomiting and visual disturbances at 30 weeks' gestation and cerebellopontine angle meningioma and hydrocephalus were diagnosed. A ventriculoperitoneal shunt was placed under general anesthesia to reduce the symptoms of raised intracranial pressure and to prevent the risk of cerebellar herniation. At 32 weeks a cesarean section was performed under general anesthesia and a healthy baby delivered. A smooth induction and maintenance of anesthesia along with lidocaine and mannitol were used to prevent a rise in intracranial pressure. The intraoperative and postoperative course was uneventful. Thus, immediate neurosurgical decompression improved the patient's condition, and allowed time for fetal maturity and uneventful delivery by cesarean section under general anesthesia.

Abstract
Studies of preemptive analgesia in humans have shown conflicting results. The study design, patient population and the duration of assessment of postoperative pain are important in the evaluation of preemptive analgesia. We carried out a prospective, randomized, double-blind controlled study in 80 patients of physical status ASA 1-3 undergoing upper abdominal and thoracic surgery. Patients received two epidural injections, one 20 minutes before induction and the other at the end of surgery. Study solution was either morphine (50 micrograms/kg), with or without 0.1% bupivacaine in 10 ml of normal saline, or normal saline alone. The study groups (Pre M, Pre MB) were given either morphine or morphine-bupivacaine before induction and saline at the end of surgery. The control groups (Post M, Post MB) were given saline before induction and morphine or morphine-bupivacaine at the end of surgery. Postoperative pain was assessed with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) during coughing and deep breathing at six-hourly intervals for five days. Epidural morphine was given if the VAS exceeded 4. Pre MB compared to Post MB had a significantly increased interval between the analgesic top-ups (P < 0.01) and decreased total postoperative morphine requirements (P < 0.0001) and number of top-ups (P < 0.001). Pre M and Post M were comparable. Pre MB compared to Pre M had significantly decreased total postoperative morphine requirements (P < 0.0001) and number of top-ups (P < 0.0001). Epidural morphine plus bupivacaine is effective as a preemptive analgesic. Morphine plus bupivacaine has better efficacy than morphine given alone before the induction of anaesthesia.

Abstract
Methylene blue is a commonly used dye in diagnostic procedures such as fistula detection, delineation of body tissues during surgery and for checking the patency of fallopian tubes. Many such dyes interfere with accurate measurement of oxygen saturation by a pulse oximeter. We report here a case in which methylene blue hot only interfered with pulse oximetery but also caused pulmonary edema in an ASA grade 1 patient.

Abstract
The incidence and degree of hypoxaemia during induction of balanced anaesthesia and endotracheal intubation were studied prospectively in 80 healthy adults undergoing elective surgery randomly divided into four equal groups of 20. Group 1 was preoxygenated for three minutes. The other three groups were not preoxygenated. Groups 1 and 2 were ventilated with 100% oxygen, while Groups 3 and 4 were ventilated with 50% and 33% oxygen respectively. Anaesthesia was induced with thiopentone 3-5 mg/kg and endotracheal intubation was done after ventilating for one minute with the chosen gas. Arterial desaturation was measured by pulse oximetry. In Groups 1-3 there was a significant increase and in Group 4 a significant decrease in saturation from the preinduction value. The arterial oxygen saturation was similar in Groups 1 and 2. Two patients in Group 3 and four in Group 4 had hypoxaemia. This incidence was not statistically significant. We conclude that ventilation with 100% oxygen for one minute prior to intubation and preoxygenation for three minutes are equally effective in preventing hypoxaemia during induction.

Abstract
A prospective study was carried out on the incidence of pulmonary complications in 728 patients who underwent major surgical procedures at a reputed hospital in New Delhi. These patients were preoperatively assessed on the basis of history, clinical examination and bedside pulmonary function tests including PEFR, VC, FVC and FEV1. On the basis of these criteria, 212 patients had significant preoperative pulmonary disease, while 516 had normal lung functions. Postoperative pulmonary complications developed in 7.69 per cent of the patients. They were more frequent in smokers (P < 0.001) and in those with preoperative pulmonary dysfunction (P < 0.001). Their incidence was greater following thoraco-abdominal and musculoskeletal and miscellaneous operations compared to lower abdominal surgery (P < 0.001). The incidence was also higher following exposure to general anaesthesia compared to regional anaesthesia (P < 0.05). Pneumonia and atelectasis were the most common postoperative pulmonary complications. It was observed that the recovery of pulmonary functions was delayed in patients who developed postoperative pulmonary complications.
