Introduction:Head and Neck swellings are of great clinical significance as underlying disease may range from a treatable infectious etiology to malignant neoplasm. In fact it is also essential to establish the origin of swelling in question sometimes. Fine needle aspiration cytology plays a vital role in solving all this issues, and fine needle aspiration cytology is now being recognized as a rapid diagnostic technique because of its simplicity and high accuracy.Aim:This retrospective study was carried out at the Department of Pathology, Maharaja Agrasen Medical Collage, Agroha for a period of Dec 2010 to Dec 2011. The aim was to know the pattern and frequency of head and neck swelling in rural Indian population, and also to know the distribution of these lesions in relation to age and sex.Result:A total of 350 cases of head and neck swelling were observed during this period. Age of presentation varied from 1 year to 85 years with male to female ratio of 1.13 to 1. Lymph node enlargement was the commonest cause (50.85%), followed by thyroid lesions (22.85%). Salivary gland lesions comprised 8.5% of all lesions. Tuberculosis/Granulomatous lymphadenitis were the most common lesion observed constituting 19.14 %( n=67) followed by malignant Neoplasm comprising 17.15 %( n=60) among all lesions. Other common cause of swelling in region observed were due to Reactive lymphadenitis (16.85%, n =59), Thyroid Goiter (16%, n=56), Cystic lesion (7.42%n=26) and Abscess/inflammatory lesion (8.28% n=29).Conclusion:During the first three decades, most of the swelling of the head and neck region was either due to Tuberculosis/Granulomatous lymphadenitis or due to Reactive lymphadenitis. While in later decades i.e. 4 th to 6 th decades, most of the swelling is due to Metastatic carcinoma. Fine needle aspiration cytology is useful in diagnosis and differentiating Neoplastic and Non Neoplastic lesions.

Ultrasound is being increasingly used to aid the placement of central venous catheters and has been demonstrated to decrease associated complications. However, catheter tip placement is not guaranteed using ultrasound, as we describe in two case reports. The first case described a central venous catheter passing into a tributary of the left brachiocephalic vein, and the second case describes the catheter tip close to the jugular bulb. We conclude with a discussion exploring the potential issues of left internal jugular vein catheterisation and inadvertent retrograde passage towards the jugular bulb.

Epidural blockade is becoming one of the most useful and versatile procedures in modern anesthesiology. Bupivacaine is a long acting amide local anaesthetic which is widely used since many years. However, it is associated with a number of side effects like Central Nervous System (CNS) toxicity and cardiotoxicity. Ropivacaine is a newly introduced long acting amide local anaesthetic drug in India which has been developed as a possible alternative to Bupivacaine. It has a lower lipophilicity than bupivacaine and hence associated with a decreased potential for CNS and cardiotoxicity. AimsThe aim of the study was to compare the time of onset of sensory block and duration of sensory and motor blockade of epidural anaesthesia produced by bupivacaine 0.5% and ropivacaine 0.75% for lower limb surgery.Methods60 patients, aged between 18-60 years, ASA 1 and 2, undergoing various lower limb surgeries were randomly allocated to 2 groups of 30 each. Group A received 15ml of 0.75% ropivacaine and group B received 15 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine epidurally. The time for loss of pinprick at T10, intensity of motor block, duration of sensory and motor block and hemodynamic changes were assessed.Results1. The time of onset and duration of sensory block was comparable for both the drugs.2. Bupivacaine 0.5% produced more intensity and longer duration of motor block than ropivacaine 0.75%3. Both the drugs were comparable with respect to hemodynamic changes.ConclusionEpidural ropivacaine 0.75% can be safely used as a possible alternative to bupivacaine 0.5% in lower limb orthopedic procedures.

Background: Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) can be a distressing problem in patients undergoing regional anaesthesia also, as patient and surgical risk factors for PONV continue to exist. In this randomized, double blind, prospective clinical study, we investigated and compared the efficacy of newer 5HT3 antagonist Palonosetron, compared to placebo, in preventing Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in patients undergoing gynaecological surgeries under spinal anaesthesia.Material and Methods: 70 women, ASA 1 and 2, undergoing gynaecological surgeries, with risk for PONV (>/= 2 risk score) were randomly allocated to two groups containing 35 patients each. One group received 0.075mg of Palonosetron intravenously and other group received saline intravenously as placebo after administration of spinal anaesthesia. Peri-operative anesthetic care was standardized in all patients. The efficacy of study medication was assessed in terms of Complete Response (No emesis and no rescue antiemetic), incidence of emetic episodes, the incidence and severity of nausea in the postoperative study periods 0-6 hours, 6-24 hours and 24-72 hours. Results: The incidence of a Complete Response (no emesis, no rescue antiemetic) in 0-6 hour study period was 82.9% with palonosetron group and 45.7%with placebo group (P value-0.001 strongly significant).The corresponding incidence in 6-24 hour was 74.3% with palonosetron and 37.1% with placebo group (P value 0.002 strongly significant).During 24-72 hour, the incidence was 97.1% in palonosetron and 94.3% in the placebo group (P value not significant).Conclusion: A single intravenous dose of 0.075mg of Palonosetron significantly reduced emesis, nausea and use of rescue anti-emetics in female patients undergoing gynaecological surgeries under spinal anaesthesia compared to placebo.

Background: One of the primary aims of anaesthetic management during ophthalmic surgery is to provide optimal control of intraocular pressure (IOP). Laryngeal mask airway (LMA)-classic and LMA-ProSeal have been compared on many aspects but we could not locate any trials comparing the effect of their insertion on IOP. Present study compared effect of LMA-classic and LMA-ProSeal insertion on the IOP. Methods: 100 patients requiring general anaesthesia for elective surgical procedures were divided into two groups (LMA-classic in 50 patients and LMA-ProSeal in 50 patients). Baseline IOP was recorded and after induction, LMA insertion was performed. Anaesthesia was maintained with nitrous oxide and halothane in oxygen. IOP was measured just before LMA insertion, just after LMA insertion and thereafter at intervals of 1, 3 and 5 minutes. Results: IOP decreased in both groups after induction with propofol (p value> 0.05). It rose just after the insertion of airway device in both the groups (p value>0.05). At one minute after the device insertion IOP started decreasing (p value>0.05). At 3 minutes and 5 minutes after the insertion of airway device the IOP was still decreasing in both the groups and was not significantly different. Conclusion: Results of the present study show that IOP always remains below baseline with the use of LMA-classic as well as LMA-ProSeal. The study showed similar profile of two devices as far as IOP is concerned.
