An innovative technique for nasotracheal fiberoptic intubation using SNPA and its comparison with conventional technique: RCT.

Background: Awake nasotracheal fiberoptic intubation by conventional technique is time consuming and requires expertise. Complications encountered in the conventional technique sometime leads to procedure failure.

Objective: The primary aim of this study was to compare the innovative technique using split nasopharyngeal airway (SNPA) with the conventional technique for nasotracheal fiberoptic intubation in terms of time taken for intubation.

Comparative Study Between Ultrasound-guided Lumbar Paravertebral Block and Lumbar Epidural Block with Ropivacaine for Postoperative Pain Relief in Patient Undergoing Total Hip Replacement Surgery: A Prospective Randomised, Double-blind Study.

Background: Total hip replacement (THR) is mostly performed in patients above 65 years of age. Patients of this age group typically have comorbidities, therefore safe techniques for anaesthesia and analgesia with minimal side effects should be chosen and should allow early mobilisation. Lumbar paravertebral block is less explored in this domain.
