This study aims to compare relative efficacy of three different doses of intrathecal bupivacaine in combined spinal epidural anaesthesia (CSEA) for caesarean delivery. ⋯ The intermediate dose of bupivacaine (5.5 mg) provided safe and effective anaesthesia for caesarean delivery with an additional advantage of lesser episodes of hypotension and partial motor blockade in CSEA.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the intraoral high tuberocity maxillary nerve block technique in zygoma and arch fracture reduction and fixation. ⋯ The maxillary nerve block is a good alternative option in selective cases of zygomatic bone fracture reduction.

The radical surgical procedures are associated with perioperative blood loss. This study was aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid in reducing perioperative blood loss in patients undergoing radical surgery. ⋯ The prophylactic administration of tranexamic acid has effectively reduced theblood loss and transfusion needs during radical surgery without any adverse effects or complication of thrombosis.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of two different volume of crystalloid given intraoperatively on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). ⋯ From the current study it was concluded that patients who received larger volume of crystalloid intraoperatively have lesser incidence of PONV.

Ultrasound-guided sciatic nerve block, in combination with femoral nerve and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve blocks, is frequently used to induce anesthesia for lower limb surgery. The anterior approach to the sciatic nerve is performed in the supine position and repositioning of the patient between injections is avoidable. We compared the relative utility and efficiency of anterior versus transgluteal sciatic nerve blocks in conjunction with femoral nerve and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve blockade. ⋯ Ultrasound-guided anterior blockade of the sciatic nerve has advantages over the transgluteal approach - it provides efficient anesthesia and results in excellent patient satisfaction.
