Background: The most striking change in adolescent girls is the onset of menstruation. After menarche, common menstrual abnormalities that the female adolescent may encounter include premenstrual syndrome, dysmenorrhea, prolonged menstrual bleeding, and emotional disturbances, In present study, we evaluated gynaecological problems of adolescent girls attending outpatient gynaecology department at tertiary care centre. Material and Methods: Present study was prospective, observational study, conducted in adolescent girls (10-19 years age) attending to the outpatient department of Obstetrics and gynaecology suffering from various gynaecological problems, willing to participate. Results: During study period, total 396 adolescent girls visited gynaecology outpatient department were considered for present study. Most cases belonged to 17-19 years age (52.8 %) followed by 14-16 years age (37.4 %) In study cases, menstrual complaints (67.7 %) were most common indication to visit OPD, followed by complaints like irregular cycles (48.5 %), pain in abdomen (29.8 %), abnormal vaginal discharge (13.9 %), acne and hirsutism (13.6 %) and obesity (11.4 %). Other less common complaints were delayed puberty (4.5 %), Bartholin cyst/abscess (3.3 %), breast diseases (2.8 %), mass per abdomen (0.8 %) and urogenital malformations (0.8 %). On basis of history and relevant investigations, menstrual cycle related gynaecological problems such as dysmenorrhea (24.7 %), oligomenorrhoea (19.7 %), menorrhagia (16.9 %), metrorrhagia (14.9 %) and hypomenorrhea (11.4 %) were noted. Amenorrhea was noted in 9.8 % cases, 1.5 % had primary amenorrhea while 8.3 % cases had secondary amenorrhea. Other problems were anaemia (28.8 %), urinary tract infection (19.7 %), PID (12.4 %), teenage pregnancy (2.3 %) and ovarian cyst (1.0 %). Conclusion: In present study menstrual cycle related gynaecological problems (dysmenorrhea, oligomenorrhoea, menorrhagia, hypomenorrhea, amenorrhea), anemia, urinary tract infection and PID were common in adolescent girls attending gynaecology OPD.

Background: Gold standard surgical treatment for gallstone disease is Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Over the years surgical skills have been improved and also there is better understanding of pneumoperitoneum3 Pneumoperitoneum stimulate a neuro-hormonal stress response which lead to increases heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance. Present study was designed to study the effect of pneumoperitoneum on hemodynamic parameters and cardiac function in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with and without cardiac disease. Material and Methods: Present study was prospective, comparative study, conducted in department of anaesthesiology. Study group was patients 18-65 years age, with echocardiographic findings consistent with presence of moderate to severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction, planned for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, Consented for participation, while control group was patients 18-65 years age, with normal echocardiographic finding, planned for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, Consented for participation. Results: Total 30 patients were enrolled in this prospective trial; 15 in each group. (Study and control group). The mean age of patients are 55.6 years and 36.6 years in study and control group, respectively and difference was statistically significant. Sex distribution: In control group, male: female distribution is 1:1.2; while in the study group, male: female distribution is 1:4, and difference was statistically significant. On intragroup statistical analysis, in the control group a statistically significant fall in HR is noticed at T2 and T4 from T1. Conclusion: Present study showed that laparoscopic cholecystectomy may be safely done in cardiac patients with moderate to severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction patients under the supervision of an experienced consultant anaesthesiologist.

Background: Sedation is an important component of compassionate care in ICU patients to promote rest and sleep. The sedatives used most often include propofol and midazolam. These medications provide adequate sedation but also can cause oversedation. The α2 agonist dexmedetomidine have unique sedative properties that it produces only mild cognitive impairment, allowing easy communication between health-care provider and patient in the ICU. We therefore compared the sedative and analgesic properties, cardiovascular responses, ventilation and extubation characteristics, and patient perceptions of dexmedetomidine with those of the commonly used i.v. sedative agent propofol in the ICU. Material and Methods: Present study was a randomized. open label trial conducted in the ICU ppatients >18 years of age, who required immediate sedation as to permit the initiation and tolerance of mechanical ventilation. 30 patients each were randomly allocated to dexmedetomidine, propofol & midazolam group. Results: Male predominance was noted, in all groups (dexmedetomidine, propofol & midazolam), M:F ratio was 1.3 : 1. According to age distribution most common age group in dexmedetomidine, propofol & midazolam group was 31-45 years (40 %). At all times the difference in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, SpO2, mean arterial blood pressure among all the three groups calculated by ANOVA test was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The mean time (hours) from cessation of sedation to extubation for dexmedetomidine is 7.4 hours, for propofol is 5.6 hours and for midazolam is 16.9 hours. P-value of dexmedetomidine, propofol and midazolam group is <0.001, which is statistically significant. Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine provides hemodynamic stability and have no clinically important adverse effects on respiration in terms of mean SpO2. Tracheal extubation was earlier in patients receiving dexmedetomidine and propofol than from midazolam.

Background: Shivering is a common problem during the perioperative period, in surgeries done under regional anesthesia. Shivering is a potentially serious complication, resulting in increased metabolic rate; increased oxygen consumption along with raised carbon dioxide production; ventilation and cardiac output; adverse postoperative outcomes, such as wound infection; increased surgical bleeding; and morbid cardiac events.4,5 Present study aimed to compare the efficacy of butorphanol versus clonidine for control of shivering in patients undergoing surgeries under spinal anaesthesia. Material and Methods: Present study was conducted patients aged between 18-60 years, of either sex, ASA physical status I/II, scheduled for elective lower abdominal surgeries under subarachnoid block. 60 Patients were randomly allocated using a computer generated table of random numbers. Group B (n= 30) received intravenous bolus butorphanol 1 mg while group C (n= 30) received an intravenous bolus of 150 μg (1 mL) clonidine. Results: In present study, 60 patients were randomly allocated into group B (n= 30, received butorphanol) and group C (n= 30, received clonidine). Age (years), weight (Kg), BMI(Kg/m2), Gender (Male/Female), ASA grade, duration of surgery (min) and baseline axillary temperature were comparable between both groups and no statistically significant difference was noted among them. In butorphanol group an earlier onset of sensory as well as motor block and prolonged duration of sensory as well as motor block was noted as compared to clonidine group and difference was statistically significant. In present study, higher incidence of shivering was noted in clonidine group as compared to butorphanol group and difference was statistically significant. Side effects, such as hypotension, nausea and vomiting werer more in clonidine group as compared to butorphanol group and difference was statistically significant. Bradycardia was noted in both groups in 3 patients. Conclusion: Intravenous butorphanol is a safe and effective for prevention of shivering as well as had early onset and prolonged duration of sensory/motor block.
