Esmolol hypotension maintains tissue perfusion during myomectomy judged by Masimo monitoring of regional cerebral oxygen saturation and pleth variability index
ConclusionEsmolol HA allowed better control of IO bleeding, blood transfusion and FT. Masimo continuous monitoring of rSO2 assured preserved cerebral perfusion. Masimo measured PVI could non-invasively monitor tissue perfusion. (Source: Egyptian Journal of Anaesthesia)

Red herring: Acute back pain after combined spinal epidural for labor analgesia
Publication date: April 2018Source: Egyptian Journal of Anaesthesia, Volume 34, Issue 2Author(s): Yoong Chuan Tay, Kian Hian TanAbstractSymphysis pubis diastases complicate 1:300 to 1:30,000 pregnancies. Peripartum pain in chronological sequence with labor epidural analgesia often attracts instinctive causation and distress. Predisposing risk factors include macrosomia, short second stage of labor, forceps use, multiparity, small pelvis, intense uterine contractions, previous pelvic ring pathology and trauma. A gestational diabetic primigravid parturient presents with acute post-partum back pain after an uneventful analges...

Effect of perioperative dexmedetomidine infusion on blood glucose levels in non-diabetic morbid obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery
ConclusionsDuring the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, dexmedetomidine premedication has effectively regulated the neuroendocrine stress response of general anesthesia as analyzed by perioperative blood sugar variation. Also, it maintained the hemodynamic stability. (Source: Egyptian Journal of Anaesthesia)
