Most of the known predicting factors of disinhibitory reactions such as age, gender, genetic or the psychological background are not modifiable. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of rate of midazolam administration, as a controllable factor, on the occurrence of paradoxical reaction to midazolam (PRM) in pediatric patients. In a randomized, double-blind clinical trial 98 American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I, II, aged from 6 months to 6 years, and undergoing elective surgery, were enrolled in the study. Patients were randomly allocated to receive midazolam 0.1 mg/kg as a 0.1% solution at an injection rate of 0.2 ml/s or 1 ml/s. The occurrence of PRM was compared between the two groups with Chi-square test. The occurrence of PRM in the rapid injection group was significantly higher than the slow injection group (20.4% vs. 4.1%, P &lt...

Research paper thumbnail of Evaluation of the relationship between age, gender, and body mass index, and lumbar facet joint pain

Most commonly, facetogenic pain is the result of repetitive stress and/or cumulative low level trauma, leading to inflammation and stretching of the joint capsule. Patients and Methods: In this descriptive study 76 patients who were diagnosed, after a diagnostic block, as having lumbar facet joint pain were evaluated by their age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). Data were collected according to a checklist and entered to SPSS version 16. Results: The mean age of the participants was 48.53 years; the participants included 44 women and 32 men. Lumbar facet joint pain was more frequent in the age range of 40-55 years. With respect to BMI, lumbar facet joint pain was most frequently seen in patients with BMI of 24.5-29.5 kg/m 2 (40.8%). Conclusion: Based on our findings, the chances of developing lumbar facet joint pain is more in women who are between 40 years and 55 years of age and whose BMI is 24.5-29.5 kg/m 2 .

Research paper thumbnail of Effect of adding dexamethasone to lidocaine on the quality of intravenous regional anesthesia for upper extremity orthopedic operations: A randomized clinical trial

Different additives have been used to improve lidocaine's block quality. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of adding dexamethasone to lidocaine on improving the quality of IVRA. Methods: This study is a prospective, double-blind randomized study which was done on patients with upper extremity injuries of the distal elbow in Shahid Mohammadi Hospital, Bandar Abbas from October 2014 to December 2015. A total of 110 patients aged 15 to 65 years, with ASA class I and II, with orthopedic injuries distal to the elbow, were randomly divided into two groups. The control group (L) and the intervention group (L+D) received a 40-ml solution of 3 mg/kg lidocaine, and 3 mg/kg lidocaine + 8 mg of dexamethasone respectively. The two groups were compared in terms of onset and recovery time of sensory block in each of the dermatome nerves classified as radial, ulnar, and median, vital signs, patient satisfaction, intraoperative opioid consumption, and request for the first postoperative opioid. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of demographic characteristics. Mean arterial blood pressure was higher in the L + D group (100.39±14.6 mmHg) in comparison to the L group (90.50±11 mmHg) (p=0.002). Need for opioid was reported in 20 (35.7%) patients in the L + D group in comparison to 17 (31.5%) in the L group (p=0.639). The average intraoperative dose of fentanyl was 95±32.04 mcg and 88.44±18.77 mg in L + D and L groups respectively and there was no significant difference between the two groups in this respect (p=0.479). In addition, the average dose of pethidine administered in the recovery room for L + D group (19.34±15.22) mg was significantly higher than in the L group (9.44±12.26 mg) (p=0.001). Conclusions: Adding 8 mg dexamethasone to lidocaine has no effect on IVRA solution in upper extremity orthopedic operations and also increases postoperative opioid consumption. Trial registration: The trial was registered at the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (http://www.irct.ir) with the Irct ID: IRCT2016052928158N1.
