Title : Awareness and Knowledge About Anesthesiology and Anesthesiologist in The Patients Coming to Pre-Anesthesia OPD at A Tertiary Care Hospital.

Abstract : The Anesthesiologist do not get due recognition although they play a crucial role in the perioperative management of patients and also outside operation theatre such as critical care, pain clinic and labor analgesia. We conducted a study to know the awareness about anesthesia and role of anesthesiologist among patients scheduled to undergo elective surgery in a tertiary care teaching hospital. A prospective cross-sectional survey with a sample size of 350 patients. Patients scheduled to undergo elective surgery in 18-60 years age group with the ASA Grades 1 & 2, who were willing to participate and given written informed Consent were included in the study. Patients with age < 18 years and > 60 years, ASA Grade 3 and above were excluded. Statistical analysis was done by calculating percentages using SPSS Software. In our study, only 23.7% patients knew that anesthesiology is a separate medical branch,34.6% patients knew about the use of different anesthesia techniques. Only 29.7% of the participants knew about the risk of Anesthesia. 33.4% patients were aware about role of anesthetist in the OT and 17.4% patients were aware about role of anesthetist outside the OT. Majority of the patients in our study were not aware of the role of anesthesia, types of anesthesia and the role of anesthetists inside and outside OT. This could be due to low education in our patients. Awareness about anesthesia and anesthesiologist can be improved by spending adequate time in a pre-anesthesia clinic..

Title : FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO INCREASING CAESAREAN SECTION RATE

Abstract : This study was conducted to identify the factors contributing to increasing caesarean section rates. This study was conducted at Maharajah’s Institute of Medical Sciences, Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh, India, between January 2021 to December 2021.This was a prospective observational study. All antenatal cases delivered by caesarean section were considered for the study. All were screened for inclusion criteria and those who were eligible for the study were explained about the study and asked for the voluntary consent. Those who had given written consent were included in the study. Out of 200 cases, 39% of them were not willing to undergo Vaginal Birth After C-Section(VBAC), 22% had fetal distress, 13% had Previous LSCS. 47% of the cases had repeat c-section. 78% underwent Emergency C-Section and 22% of the cases underwent elective c-section. Factors include maternal literacy, higher-than-average BMI, and multiparity were associated to an increase in caesarean section rates. Pregnancy induced hypertension was a more typically associated comorbidity with caesarean section. The majority of patients who had caesarean section had cephalic presentation. Primary and emergency c-sections were more prevalent than repeat and elective c-sections. Foetal distress was the most common reason for a first caesarean procedure, whereas not willing for VBAC was the most common reason for a repeat caesarean surgery..

Title : VASAPREVIA-A BLOODY CASCADE AND NARROW ESCAPE

Abstract : Vasaprevia is a condition where vessels passing from the fetus to the placenta that is not protected by placental tissue or the channel, pass as regards to the cervix. These blood vessels are very delicate and may get torn during labour. Significant perinatal mortality and morbidity are associated with this obstetric condition. Placental abnormalities, like velamentous cord insertion, can occur with vasaprevia. Vessels from the umbilical cord instead of directly into the placenta go through a part of the chorionic membrane in velamentous cord insertion. Therefore more chances of fetal haemorrhage are observed during the rupture of fetal membranes as the blood vessels are not protected by Wharton's jelly around the cord. About 1/2500 to 1/5000 deliveries exhibit a prevalence of vasaprevia. If vasa previa is not diagnosed before birth may result in a fetal mortality rate nearly approaching 60%. Presenting a case of vasa previa diagnosed on placental examination after cesarean section indicated for antepartum haemorrhage. A 23-year-old, G2P1L1, 32weeks 4days, previous LSCS with DCDA twins who had antepartum haemorrhage (APH), underwent emergency LSCS at our institution and was subsequently diagnosed to posses vasa previa on placental examination. Two healthy babies were successfully delivered. This is a report on our management of a case of Antepartum haemorrhage because of vasaprevia..

Title : EVALUATION AND CORRELATION OF DISEASE SEVERITY WITH CLINICO RADIOLOGICAL AND PULMONARY FUNCTION PARAMETERS IN POST COVID19 PATIENTS

Abstract : To understand the pulmonary effects of post COVID19 this prospective observational study was undertaken.105 post COVID19 patients were assessed at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months by Clinical symptoms, Pulmonary function by Spirometry and DLCO, Exercise capacity by 6MWT and SPO2, radiologically by Chest X-ray and CT (if required), Health related quality of life (HRQOL). Patients were categorized as mild (71%), moderate (23%) and severe (6%). The predominant symptom at 3 months were fatigue (35.2%), cough (23.8%) and breathlessness (19%). The mean values of all parameters at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months were calculated. All parameters except 6MWT showed statistically significant improvement. In severe category the improvement was slow especially DLCO with residual clinical symptoms..
