Table Tilt Versus Pelvic Tilt Position for Intrauterine Resuscitation during Spinal Anaesthesia for Caesarian Section.
This study was undertaken to compare the effects on intrauterine resuscitation by table tilt versus pelvic tilt position after spinal anaesthesia for Caesarian Section. PATIENTS #ENTITYSTARTX00026; ⋯ Wedge placement caused increased incidence of hypotension and higher blockade after spinal anaesthesia as compared to left lateral table tilt position, there was no adverse effects on foetus and patients tolerated wedge better than left lateral table tilt position. Also surgery was easier to perform after wedge placement.

Intrathecal sufentanil versus fentanyl for lower limb surgeries - a randomized controlled trial.
To compare the efficacy and safety of intrathecal sufentanil or fentanyl as adjuvants to hyperbaric bupivacaine in patients undergoing major orthopaedic lower limb surgeries in terms of onset and duration of sensory block, motor block and post-operative pain relief. PATIENTS #ENTITYSTARTX00026; ⋯ Intrathecal sufentanil (5 μg) and fentanyl (25 μg), as adjuvants lead to an earlier onset and prolonged duration of sensory block. The duration of effective analgesia with intrathecal sufentanil and fentanyl as adjuvants to hyperbaric bupivacaine is longer than that of bupivacaine alone.
