Seizures epileptics in children
This document discusses status epilepticus (SE), which refers to prolonged or repeated seizures without recovery between seizures. It defines SE as a single seizure lasting over 30 minutes or multiple seizures without recovery over 30 minutes. The longer SE persists, the harder it is to control and the higher the risk of complications. SE can be life-threatening and cause hypoxia, respiratory issues, hemodynamic changes, acidosis, and other systemic alterations. The document outlines treatment for SE, including securing airways, intravenous access, treating underlying causes, giving anticonvulsants like benzodiazepines and phenytoin rapidly followed by longer-acting drugs, and managing complications. It also discusses non-convulsive SE which can be
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome
This document discusses Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), a life-threatening reaction that can occur due to treatment with antipsychotic medications. It defines NMS as a condition characterized by fever, severe muscle rigidity, and changes in mental status and autonomic function. The document outlines risk factors for NMS, diagnostic criteria, treatment recommendations including immediate discontinuation of the causative drug, and supportive care. Dopaminergic medications like bromocriptine may help reduce time to recovery and mortality rates.
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome 2
This document discusses Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), a life-threatening reaction to antipsychotic medications characterized by fever, muscle rigidity, and changes in mental status. It notes that NMS incidence is low (0.01-0.02%) but carries high mortality. Diagnosis involves assessing for symptoms after starting antipsychotics. Treatment involves stopping the medication, supportive care, and potentially benzodiazepines or dopaminergic drugs. Recovery typically occurs within 7-10 days but may be prolonged with long-acting injections.
Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome
This document describes a case of an 81-year old male who developed neuroleptic malignant syndrome after being prescribed loxapine and methotrimeprazine. He presented with diaphoresis, tremulousness, urinary incontinence and cognitive impairment. Diagnostic testing showed elevated CK, leukocytosis and fever. The medications were discontinued and he was treated with dantrolene and bromocriptine. His symptoms subsided and he was later discharged on olanzapine and sertraline without further complications. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a potentially fatal reaction to antipsychotic medications characterized by fever, rigidity, changes in mental status and autonomic dysfunction.
Pain in the ICU
More than 50% of ICU survivors report severe pain as their strongest memory from the ICU stay. Uncontrolled pain in the ICU can lead to both short and long term negative consequences. Assessing pain is challenging, especially in nonverbal patients. Common causes of pain include acute trauma, injuries, burns, postoperative pain, exacerbation of chronic pain, and underlying diseases. It is important to routinely assess pain in ICU patients using scales like the Behavioral Pain Scale or Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool to help guide pain management. Effective pain management in the ICU can involve both pharmacological interventions like opioids, acetaminophen, and nerve blockers as well as non-pharmacological methods. Uncontrolled pain has been linked to increased stress
Status Epilepticus
This document discusses status epilepticus, which is defined as prolonged or repeated seizures without recovery between seizures. It classifies status epilepticus, explores its pathophysiology and etiology, and outlines its presentation, differential diagnosis, workup, and management. Status epilepticus results from either failed seizure termination mechanisms or initiation of mechanisms leading to prolonged seizures. It can cause neuronal death or injury if not promptly treated. Management involves initial treatment with benzodiazepines followed by anti-seizure medications like fosphenytoin or anesthetic doses if seizures persist over 40 minutes.
Cardiovascular Effects of Phenytoin
Phenytoin is an effective treatment for focal epilepsy and was also used as an antiarrhythmic drug. It acts as a sodium channel blocker and can lower blood pressure through vasodilation effects. Phenytoin has antiarrhythmic properties but may cause bradycardia, arrhythmias, and asystole in high doses or rapid infusion rates. It should be administered cautiously in patients with cardiovascular conditions and given at slow infusion rates.
Phenytoin
Phenytoin is an anticonvulsant drug that works by blocking sodium channels. Phenytoin's water soluble prodrug, phosphophenytoin, can be administered intravenously or intramuscularly and is used to treat status epilepticus. At toxic doses, phenytoin can cause cerebellar symptoms like ataxia, vertigo, nystagmus and diplopia. Phenytoin is used to treat generalized tonic-clonic seizures, partial seizures, cardiac arrhythmias, enhance wound healing, and treat trigeminal neuralgia, but can cause adverse effects like gum hypertrophy, hirsutism, lymphadenopathy, terat

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a potentially fatal condition characterized by altered mental status, muscle rigidity, hyperthermia, and autonomic hyperactivity that can occur when taking certain antipsychotic or antiemetic drugs. It is caused by a decrease in dopaminergic transmission and risk factors include high drug doses, rapid dose increases, or switching between drugs. Diagnosis is clinical based on symptoms, and treatment involves stopping the causative drug and providing aggressive supportive care like cooling and controlling agitation.
Status epilepticus management treatment
- Status epilepticus is defined as continuous seizure activity lasting more than 30 minutes or recurrent seizures without regaining consciousness. It is a medical emergency requiring prompt treatment.
- Initial treatment involves stabilizing airway, breathing, and circulation. Intravenous lorazepam, diazepam, fosphenytoin, or phenytoin are then used to stop seizures.
- For refractory status epilepticus lasting over 60 minutes, further treatment with midazolam, thiopental, propofol, or pentobarbital infusion is needed to induce a medically-induced coma. Maintenance anti-epileptic drugs are then used to prevent seizure recurrence.
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome
This document summarizes key information about neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) published in 1968 by Delay and Dencker, including that NMS is characterized by fever and rigidity developing within 2 weeks of starting drugs like Serenace, progressing over a week to include hyperthermic dehydration, shock, and potentially myoglobinuric acute renal failure requiring ICU care for about a week. While NMS remained poorly understood even 40 years later, the syndrome typically involves fever and rigidity in the second week of initiating drugs like Serenace, progressing over the next week to include hyperthermic dehydration, shock and/or myoglobinuric acute renal failure, with about 3/4 of cases
Myasthenia gravis CTVA presentation
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by fatigable weakness of skeletal muscles due to antibodies attacking acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction. Clinical presentation includes fluctuating muscle weakness that worsens with exertion and improves with rest, often starting with ocular or bulbar muscles. Anesthetic management aims to prevent prolonged effects on respiratory muscles and allow rapid recovery, often using potent inhaled anesthetics, propofol, or remifentanil without neuromuscular blockers when possible. Reversal agents like sugammadex are preferred over neostigmine to avoid cholinergic crisis. Careful extubation is important to avoid myasthenic crisis.
Anesthetic management in Pediatric Neuromuscular disorders
This document summarizes the anesthetic management considerations for pediatric patients with various neuromuscular disorders. It discusses cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophies like Duchenne and Becker's, myotonias, mitochondrial myopathies, channelopathies, and malignant hyperthermia. Key points include increased sensitivity to medications, difficult airways, respiratory and cardiac issues, hypothermia risks, and triggering agents for malignant hyperthermia like succinylcholine and inhalational anesthetics. Close monitoring is important due to potential complications in the postoperative period.
Serotonin syndrome77

Clinical use of neuromuscular blocking agents in critically ill patients - NMDA
1. Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are used in critically ill patients to facilitate intubation, improve oxygenation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and prevent shivering during therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest.
2. NMBAs work by either depolarizing or non-depolarizing the neuromuscular junction. Succinylcholine is the only depolarizing agent used in the US, while rocuronium, vecuronium, and cisatracurium are commonly used non-depolarizing agents.
3. When using NMBAs, patients must be deeply sedated to prevent awareness and monitors like train-of-four must be
Prognosis and complications of eclampsia
Eclampsia can have serious complications for both the mother and baby. For the mother, complications include cardiac failure, pulmonary edema, cerebral hemorrhage, acute renal failure, and cardiopulmonary arrest. Risk factors that affect the mother's prognosis include late referral, prolonged delivery interval, more than 10 seizures, high fever, and unresponsive hypertension. The mortality rate for mothers in India ranges from 2-30% but can be reduced to less than 2% with early and adequate treatment. Complications for the baby include intrauterine growth restriction, stillbirth, prematurity, and risks associated with medications used to control seizures during delivery.
Status epilepticus
Status epilepticus (SE) is defined as continuous seizure activity lasting more than 5 minutes or 2 or more seizures within 5 minutes without regaining consciousness between seizures. SE can be convulsive, manifesting as tonic-clonic seizures, or non-convulsive, manifesting as confusion or impaired consciousness. Treatment involves initial stabilization, seizure termination through benzodiazepines or other anticonvulsants like phenytoin, and management of refractory SE with anesthetic agents if needed. Prolonged SE can cause neurological damage and is associated with higher mortality and morbidity.
Fosphenytoin sodium injection
Fosphenytoin is a prodrug that is metabolized to phenytoin, which works to decrease seizures by blocking sodium channels. It is given parenterally when rapid onset is required to treat seizures or status epilepticus. Fosphenytoin avoids complications of parenteral phenytoin such as poor solubility and tissue irritation. Metabolism occurs primarily in the liver, so patient factors like liver function and other medications affecting protein binding or hepatic metabolism must be considered. Close monitoring is needed due to potential adverse effects like hypotension, rash, and interactions. Interprofessional collaboration optimizes safety when using fosphenytoin in complex patients.
Antiaritmia

A comparative study of the effect of clonidine
The study compared the efficacy of clonidine and tramadol in treating shivering in patients undergoing surgery with regional anesthesia. Both drugs effectively treated shivering but clonidine worked faster with fewer side effects. Clonidine caused shivering to cease within 2.54 minutes on average compared to 5.01 minutes for tramadol. Tramadol also caused more nausea, vomiting and dizziness as side effects. Therefore, the study concluded that clonidine is more effective and has fewer side effects than tramadol for preventing shivering after regional anesthesia.

Clonidine as an_adjuvant_to_local_anesthetics_for.28
This meta-analysis reviewed 20 randomized controlled trials involving 1,054 patients that tested the effects of adding clonidine to local anesthetics for peripheral nerve and plexus blocks. The studies evaluated blocks of various types, including brachial plexus, sciatic, femoral and other nerve blocks. Clonidine doses ranged from 30 to 300 micrograms, with most using 150 micrograms. The meta-analysis found that adding clonidine prolonged the duration of postoperative analgesia by 122 minutes, sensory block by 74 minutes, and motor block by 141 minutes. However, clonidine also increased the risk of hypotension, fainting, bradycardia and sedation. The optimal dose of clonidine remained unclear.

ANAESTHESIA FOR DAYCARE SURGERY final.pptx
Daycare surgery involves operations where the patient is discharged on the same day. General anaesthesia is commonly used, while central neuraxial blocks are discouraged due to delayed discharge from motor block. Local and plexus blocks are good options. Anaesthetic goals include smooth onset, adequate intraoperative analgesia/amnesia, and rapid recovery. Common daycare surgeries include hernia repair, hemorrhoidectomy, laparoscopic procedures, otoplasty, and cystoscopy. Monitored anaesthesia care involves anaesthesiologist oversight during planned procedures. Non-operating room anaesthesia presents challenges due to unfamiliar environments but can be addressed through thorough patient evaluation, appropriate monitoring, and careful planning for procedures such as cardiac catheter

Post-op management focuses on physiotherapy, resuming anticholinesterases cautiously and monitoring for respiratory failure.
Malignant hyperthermia
Malignant hyperthermia is a life-threatening reaction to certain anesthetics that causes a rapid increase in body temperature, muscle rigidity, and other complications. It results from a hypermetabolic response, especially to succinylcholine and halothane, in genetically susceptible individuals. Symptoms include temperature over 40°C, tachycardia, acidosis, and rhabdomyolysis. Treatment priorities are rapid cooling, dantrolene administration, and supportive care to correct metabolic abnormalities. Genetic testing and muscle biopsy can determine susceptibility.
Status Epilepticus.pptx
The document defines status epilepticus and discusses its treatment. Status epilepticus is traditionally defined as continuous seizure activity lasting over 30 minutes, but the working definition is now 5 minutes to minimize risk. Treatment involves initial stabilization, then 1) benzodiazepines like lorazepam or diazepam, 2) second line drugs like fosphenytoin or valproic acid, and 3) third line anesthetic drugs like midazolam or pentobarbital via infusion if seizures remain uncontrolled. Mechanical ventilation may be needed for airway protection or raised intracranial pressure. The goal is to rapidly control seizures while monitoring for complications.

Preop neuro
This document provides guidance on the perioperative management of neurological patients. It discusses special considerations for patients with epilepsy, myasthenia gravis, Parkinson's disease, stroke, dementia and various muscular dystrophies. Key recommendations include continuing antiepileptic drugs up to and after surgery, using nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockers cautiously in myasthenia gravis, continuing dopamine replacement in Parkinson's disease, and postponing elective surgery for at least 3 months following a stroke. Care must be taken to avoid triggers of seizures, myasthenic crisis, and exacerbation of neurological symptoms in the perioperative period.

48078289 pharmacology-review-for-nurses
This document summarizes several classes of drugs that affect the nervous system and other body systems. It provides prototypes, mechanisms of action, indications, adverse effects and nursing considerations for anticonvulsants, antiparkinsonian agents, sedatives/hypnotics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, analgesics, anticoagulants, antiplatelets, cardiac glycosides, nitrates, antihypertensives and calcium channel blockers. Nursing considerations focus on monitoring for side effects, administering medications properly, teaching patients, and when to report issues to the physician.
Neuropathic pain
This document discusses neuropathic pain, its causes, symptoms, and treatment options. It begins by defining neuropathic pain as pain resulting from damage or disease affecting the somatosensory nervous system, such as diabetic neuropathy or postherpetic neuralgia. Symptoms include abnormal sensations like tingling, burning, and pain from stimuli that are normally non-painful. Treatment options discussed include tricyclic antidepressants, gabapentin, pregabalin, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, topical lidocaine, opioids, and emerging treatments like botulinum toxin, cannabinoids, spinal cord stimulation, and intrathecal drug delivery.
Emergency situations during hair transplant and how to avoid them.
Hair Transplant surgery is a safe outpatient day surgery.
Emergencies are uncommon but can appear suddenly.
Many of the emergencies, but not all, are preventable through attentive pre-operative and intraoperative care.
Clinic doctors and support staff must be prepared to manage emergencies.
Potential medical conditions which may convert into life-threatening emergencies during Hair transplant are-
Medication- Lidocaine toxicity, drug interactions( beta-blockers with adrenaline, lidocaine with Dilantin ), over sedation.
Allergy/ Anaphylactic shock
Hypotension- due to hypovolemia, cardiovascular shock, vasovagal syndrome.
Cardiovascular- Angina, myocardial infarction, arrhythmias (cardiac arrest).
Pulmonary- Dyspnea, Asthma, respiratory arrest.
Neurologic- seizures, stroke
Coagulation- bleeding diathesis
Trauma- accidental injury/fall
Adverse effects of antipsychotic drugs
The document summarizes adverse effects of antipsychotic drugs. It discusses behavioral, neurological, metabolic, endocrine and other effects. Key points include:
- Neurological effects include extrapyramidal reactions like Parkinson's syndrome, akathisia, dystonic reactions, and tardive dyskinesia. Tardive dyskinesia is the most important unwanted effect.
- Metabolic effects include weight gain, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia. Hyperprolactinemia can cause issues in males and females.
- Other risks include agranulocytosis, ocular deposits, cardiac toxicity, drug interactions, overdose reactions, and neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
Anaesthetic Considerations in Neuromuscular disease
This document discusses anaesthetic considerations for patients with neuromuscular disorders. It begins with an introduction to neuromuscular disorders and their classification. General considerations for pre-operative, peri-operative, and post-operative management are outlined. Specific guidance is provided for various disorders like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and Myasthenia Gravis. Key points are that depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents should generally be avoided due to risk of hyperkalemia. Non-depolarizing agents may have prolonged effects. Careful monitoring is needed due to potential respiratory and cardiac involvement. Thorough pre-operative evaluation and planning of anaesthetic approach is important for
Movement disorders emergencies
Movement disorders are not only realm of chronic disorders that are treated without requiring emergent intervention, but also they can present acutely with more aggressive forms
contrast_radiology.ppt
This document discusses contrast media used in radiology. It describes different types of contrast agents including iodinated, MR, and negative contrast agents. Iodinated contrast media can be ionic or non-ionic, and non-ionic agents have fewer adverse effects. Risk factors for contrast reaction include allergy, asthma, renal insufficiency, and cardiac issues. Reactions range from mild to severe and treatments involve medications like antihistamines, epinephrine, and IV fluids. Contrast-induced nephropathy is a deterioration of renal function caused by iodinated contrast and risk is highest in those with pre-existing severe renal insufficiency.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptx
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

Pneumothorax and role of Physiotherapy in it.
This particular slides consist of- what is Pneumothorax,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.

Deep Leg Vein Thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in one or more of the deep veins in the legs. These clots can impede blood flow, leading to severe complications.Hypotension and role of physiotherapy in it
This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

- 12. Warnings/Precautions Concerns related to adverse effects: • Cardiovascular effects: Bradycardia, hypotension, and dysrhythmias may occur, particularly with IV use; risk may be increased in patients with certain cardiovascular conditions (eg, coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmias, recent acute coronary syndrome). Risk may also be increased in patients with myasthenia gravis. When IV neostigmine is administered for the reversal of nondepolarizing neuromuscular-blocking agents, atropine or glycopyrrolate should be administered concurrently or prior to neostigmine to lessen the risk of bradycardia. • Cholinergic crisis: Overdosage may result in cholinergic crisis, characterized by extreme muscle weakness and potentially fatal respiratory paralysis. Cholinergic crisis should be distinguished from myasthenic crisis, which is also characterized by extreme muscle weakness, but would require radically different treatment. • Hypersensitivity reactions: Symptoms of hypersensitivity have included urticaria, angioedema, erythema multiforme, generalized rash, facial swelling, peripheral edema, pyrexia, flushing, hypotension, bronchospasm, bradycardia, and anaphylaxis. Have atropine and epinephrine ready to treat hypersensitivity reactions. • Neuromuscular effects: Large doses of IV neostigmine administered for the reversal of nondepolarizing neuromuscular-blocking agents when neuromuscular blockade is minimal can result in neuromuscular dysfunction. Reduce the dose of neostigmine if recovery from neuromuscular blockade is nearly complete.
