Efficacy of intraperitoneal instillation of bupivacaine at the time of laparoscopic sterilisation to provide postoperative analgesia was studied. In 40 patients undergoing laparoscopic sterilisation 0.75ml/kg of 0.125% bupivacaine was instilled in the peritoneal cavity (Group-I) and another 40 patients where the topical anaesthetic was not used served as controls (Group-II). Pain scores on Visual Analog Scale (VAS) were studied 1,2,4,6 and 24 hours after surgery in both groups. Mean VAS score was significantly lower in Group-I, 1,2 and 4 hours after surgery (p<0.05). Rescue analgesia was required in 20% patients of Group-I compared to 52.5% in Group-II which is definitely significant (p<0.001). No complications or side effects were noted in the bupivacaine treated group. This simple technique provides excellent analgesia in the immediate postoperative period following laparoscopic sterilisation which will go a long way in enhancing patient satisfaction and motivating other eligible clients to come forward for laparoscopic sterilisation.

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia

Spinal anesthetics are given during lower abdomen and limb surgeries to block sensory and motor neurons. They are administered in the mid to low lumbar regions, primarily acting on the cauda equina's nerve roots. The blockade level depends on the local anesthetic (LA) concentration. Usually, low LA concentrations are sufficient to block sensory fibers, while only high LA concentrations block motor fibers. Other factors like injection volume and speed, the patient's posture, and the drug...

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Intravenous Regional Anesthesia

Intravenous regional anesthesia or the Bier block technique is used to anesthetize a specific limb or extremity. It uses exsanguinated or blood-drained vessels to transport local anesthetics or LAs to the peripheral nerve trunks. Lidocaine without vasoconstrictors like epinephrine is most commonly used for this technique. Other drugs used are prilocaine, ropivacaine, and chloroprocaine. Bupivacaine is not recommended for this technique due to its high cardiac toxicity.
One of the advantages of...
