Combining the skills of USG with thorough knowledge of regional anatomy can prove to be a boon to improving the quality of care being delivered to patients. Preoperative use of USG at different levels of the neck combined with the risk assessment methods can help to organize predictors of difficult airway and difficult laryngoscopy. Basic comprehension of USG physics, transducer selection, and probe orientation and a better understanding of airway anatomy contribute to the accuracy of ultrasound interpretation. In day-to-day practice, there is a potential for failed tracheal intubations followed by failure of gaining adequate access to the airway, thus posing challenges to anesthesiologists. Besides predicting difficult airway, USG provides an incentive to properly place an endotracheal tube (ETT) to an adequate depth, estimation of the size of ETT part...

Anaesthesia management of neonates is demanding even for experienced anaesthetists in terms of vascular access, airway management, relatively poor respiratory reservoir and transitional cardiac physiology. Neonate having cyanotic congenital heart disease with abnormal cardiac physiology demands further attention. In children with congenital heart disease, difficult intubation remains a possibility as they are more often associated with airway anomalies. NORA has its own set of anaesthesia challenges related to a lack of adequate anaesthesia equipment and monitoring devices, a limited and unfamiliar workspace, lack of trained support staff along with more medically complex patients. Recently there has been concern regarding the safety of anaesthetic agents in children < 3 years. So, techniques are being developed to promote immobilisation without using anaesthesia in short procedures. One such technique is the "feed and wrap" technique where feeding and swaddling induce natural sleep in infants. Here, we have used the "feed and wrap technique" in a 24-day-old neonate having supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous return with incidental stridor posted for contrastenhanced computed tomography angiography.

Optimal preload and electrolyte balance is important in maintaining this. There has been a debate on the choice of perioperative crystalloids in renal transplant surgeries over the past decades. Normal saline (0.9% saline) is more likely to cause hyperchloremic acidosis when compared to balanced salt solutions (BSS) with low chloride content whereas BSS may cause hyperkalemia. We aim to compare the safety and efficacy of normal saline (NS), Ringer’s lactate (RL) and Plasmalyte (PL) on acid-base balance and electrolytes during living donor kidney transplantation. Materials and methods Patients were randomized to NS group (n = 60), RL group (n = 60) and Plasmalyte group (n = 60). Arterial blood samples were collected for acid-base analysis after induction of anaesthesia (T0), prior to clamping the iliac vein (T1), 10 minutes after reperfusion of the donated kidney (T2) a...

DC offset can be removed by using integrator as feedback. In the differential amplifier part of IA, we can add single resistance, T-network or inverter circuit with integrator to improve impulse response. By using filters, we can reduce RF interference. In this paper, we have used instrumentation amplifier as a bio-potential amplifier
