A Study on the Incidence, Prevalence, and Causative Factors Associated with Intradialytic Hypotension During Maintenance Hemodialysis
Abstract: In Maintenance Hemodialysis (MHD), Intradialytic Hypotension (IDH) is a significant issue, occurring in around 15–30% of dialysis sessions and greatly affecting patient well-being and health outcomes. This study followed a group of 50 MHD patients for six months to investigate the frequency, prevalence, and causes of IDH. The findings revealed that having a low serum albumin level (<3.5 g/dL) was the most reliable indicator of IDH (OR: 4.1, 95% CI: …

Determining the Root Causes of Complications in Hemodialysis Maintenance Therapy
Abstract: As with peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation, hemodialysis has been considered one of the most effective therapies for the replacement of kidney function. While this helps to save patients with the disease by decreasing morbidity /mortality/ rates, this medication has some side effects. These may manifest during the dialysis process alongside the ongoing treatment. Avoiding these barriers becomes crucial for improving the patients’ prognosis in this context.We are going to …

Late Onset Ataxia: A Case Report
Abstract: 57-year-old man with no prior history of any illness presented with subacute onset of gradually progressive gait ataxia, upper limb incoordination and speech issues. There was history suggestive of orthostatic hypotension and erectile dysfunction. On examination, there was normal cognition with gaze evoked nystagmus, scanning speech and limb incoordination in the form of past pointing, dysdiadochokinesia, and tandem walking abnormality suggestive of pan cerebellar involvement. The patient was evaluated with …

Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (eFAST): A Comprehensive Strategy for Trauma Assessment
Abstract: Trauma is the principal cause of mortality in individuals under 45 years old, with 80% being due to blunt trauma and most deaths arising from hypovolemic shock. Intraperitoneal bleeding occurs in 12% of these cases, making swift identification of trauma critical. The ideal diagnostic test should be fast, accurate, and non-invasive. The adoption of point-of-care ultrasound has profoundly influenced the management and evaluation of trauma patients. This discussion outlines the …

Optimizing Anesthesia for Major Surgery: The Role of Sequential Combined Spinal-Epidural Technique
Abstract: The Combined Spinal Epidural (CSE) approach has been widely employed over the last decade because it achieves rapid onset and substantial blockage while also allowing for the modification or prolongation of the block. Background: Sequential spinal-epidural anesthesia (SSEA) combines the rapid onset and dense blockade of spinal anesthesia with the prolonged duration and adjustable analgesia of epidural anesthesia. This technique is particularly beneficial in major surgeries requiring prolonged operative time …

Preoperative Use of Midazolam vs Dexmedetomidine for Anxiolysis in Day-Care Surgery
Abstract: Surgical procedures trigger significant fear and anxiety that can adversely affect physiological responses and recovery outcomes. This prospective, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial compared the anxiolytic efficacy and safety of intravenous midazolam and dexmedetomidine in 60 patients undergoing day-care surgery. Primary outcomes included anxiety scores measured by STAI and sedation assessed by the OAAS scale at multiple perioperative time points. Secondary outcomes assessed in the study included detailed evaluation of hemodynamic …
