Ultrasound-guided hydro resuscitation in patients during the transoperative at the naval medical center

Purpose: To determine the relationship of collapsibility of the jugular vein as a predictor of fluid response in patients during the transoperative period at the Naval Medical Center. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 75 patients who underwent surgery at the Naval Medical Center. The internal jugular vein distensibility was measured by ultrasonography. Correlations, logistic regression analysis, ANOVA or Kruskall-Wallis and chi-square tests were used to determine differences (P ≤ 0.05) between initial compliance and final compliance during the transoperative period.

Return from migration, land game, stakeholder conflicts and development challenge in zoukougbeu in western ivory coast

Comparison of sensory and motor peripheral nerve blockades with 1.33% liposomal bupivacaine, 1% ropivacaine and 2% lidocaine with dexamethasone

Introduction: Main goal of nerve blockade is to provide analgesia that will outlast duration of pain as long as possible. Deficiency of currently available local aneasthetics is relatively short duration of action. The aim of this study was to compare sensory and motor blockade after perineural application of liposomal bupivacaine, ropivacaine or lidocaine with addition of dexamethasone during peripheral nerve blockade in Wistar rats. Materials and methods: A rat sciatic nerve block model was used.
