Distinguished delegates, speakers, ladies and gentleman,

I would like to thank the Malaysian Society of Anaesthesiologists, the College of

Anaesthesiologists, the Academy of Medicine of Malaysia, as well as the Special

Interest Group in Obstetric Anaesthesia for allowing me to pen a few words

in this programme book. I take this opportunity to welcome you to the Annual

Scientific Congress of the Malaysian Society of Anaesthesiologists and College

of Anaesthesiologists (ASC of the MSA/CoA) and Obstetric Anaesthesia Meeting,

a satellite event of the 16th World Congress of Anaesthesiologists.

I was informed that many of you will be attending the World Congress of

Anaesthesiologists that will be held in Hong Kong and would like to thank you for

making the time to stop in Kuala Lumpur before proceeding to Hong Kong.

I would also like to congratulate the Organising Committee for coming up with an

appropriate theme for the Congress. The theme is aptly titled ‘Back to Basics’ and

focus on going back to some of the fundamentals of anaesthesiology in ensuring

delivery of safe anaesthesia in an ever evolving world of technology, as well as

keeping up with the current advances in the body of knowledge and technologies

in order to ensure the best possible outcome for our patients.

I sincerely hope that all delegates will find this congress immensely beneficial and

learn from the respected faculty that have been assembled here to impart their

knowledge and experiences. I sincerely hope that we can all learn from each other

on the best practices worldwide.

Finally, I would also like to welcome our fellow delegates to enjoy themselves not

only at the Congress but to explore the many sights and sceneries that Kuala

Lumpur has to offer.

I wish you a fruitful Congress and a memorable stay in Malaysia.

Thank you.

Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Thank you for taking time off from your busy schedule to attend our

Annual Scientific Congress of the Malaysian Society of Anaesthesiologists and

College of Anaesthesiologists (ASC of the MSA/CoA). The Obstetric Anaesthesia

Meeting, a satellite event of the 16th World Congress of Anaesthesiologists is being

held in conjunction with our Annual Scientific Congress and I welcome all our

eminent speakers from all over the world who are here to share with us their

knowledge and experience.

I take this opportunity to congratulate both the Organising Committee and the

Scientific Committees for all their efforts in allowing us to benefit from a truly well

organised Congress.

The theme for the ASC of the MSA/CoA is titled ‘Back to Basics’ and with the

accompanying pre-congress workshops, plenary lectures and symposia, we hope

the Congress will meet the expectations of all our delegates.

We look forward to meeting you and to share a pleasant, interesting and fruitful

Congress.

Dr Raveenthiran Rasiah

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Greetings! It is a great pleasure to bid you a warm welcome to the

Annual Scientific Congress of the Malaysian Society of Anaesthesiologists and

the College of Anaesthesiologists, Academy of Medicine of Malaysia, to be held

in Kuala Lumpur from 25th to 27th August 2016. It is indeed a proud moment for

the Obstetric Special Interest Group of the College as the Obstetric Anaesthesia

Satellite Meeting of the 16th World Congress of Anaesthesiologists is held

simultaneously with the Annual Scientific Congress of the MSA/CoA.

The Congress features a highly interactive, simulating and multidisciplinary

programme including workshops, plenary sessions, symposia, panel discussions,

as well as oral and poster presentations. Under the theme ‘Back to Basics’,

the ASC of the MSA/CoA will address the entire patient pathway and look beyond

the scientific topics alone. The Obstetric sessions not only covers the basics but

addresses the further advancements in techniques and technologies in the care of

the mother.

The Organising and Scientific Committees have worked hard to ensure a dynamic

programme with eminent international and local speakers. The Congress provides

an ideal platform to stimulate ideas and establish collaborations both local and

international, as well as to initiate discussions. Extended networking opportunities

will foster communications between the delegates.

To the international speakers and delegates, please enjoy our camaraderie and

the lovely, vibrant city of Kuala Lumpur or simply KL. KL is a cultural melting pot

that has great food, excellent shopping and warm hospitality.

Have a fruitful and enjoyable meeting!

Thank you!

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Greetings! It gives me great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to the

Annual Scientific Congress of the Malaysian Society of Anaesthesiologists

and the College of Anaesthesiologists (ASC of the MSA/CoA), to be held

from the 25th to the 27th of August 2016, at the Berjaya Times Square Hotel,

Kuala Lumpur. The Obstetric Anaesthesia Satellite Meeting, an international

event preceding the 16th World Congress of Anaesthesiologists in Hong Kong,

will be held in conjunction with our Annual Scientific Congress. It is a great

honour for us to welcome eminent speakers from all over the world before some of

them head to Hong Kong.

The theme for the ASC of the MSA/CoA is titled ‘Back to Basics’ which we hope,

will be able to meet the expectations of delegates in covering a wide range of topics

in the Obstetrics and non-Obstetrics sessions. The Organising Committee and

Scientific Committees have been hard at work to ensure an enjoyable academic

Congress. The Scientific Committees have drawn up a stimulating programme

consisting of pre-congress workshops with hands-on workshops, plenaries and

concurrent symposium sessions.

The Congress will see distinguished and renowned speakers who are experts in

their respective fields, sharing their knowledge and expertise on a wide variety of

topics, representing the latest developments and future trends. This is definitely a

Congress not to be missed!

Please do come and join us for the ever popular Gala Dinner which promises to be

an entertaining affair to ensure that the delegates will have time to catch up with

friends and fellows colleagues in an informal setting.

We look forward to meeting you and to a pleasant, interesting and fruitful

Congress.

Message from the Scientific Chairperson of the MSA and CoA Annual Scientific Congress

Dear Colleagues,

The Annual Scientific Congress 2016 promises to be an exciting meeting full

of new topics and old to revisit our basic fundamental knowledge, as well as

keeping up with progress and advances in anaesthesia. Our team in the

MSA Scientific Committees has prepared an outstanding programme to ensure

all sub-specialty topics, relevant workshops and plenary sessions are delivered by

a panel of international and local speakers who are experts in their field.

This year, we will emphasise on how we manage patient care as perioperative

physicians from adopting new protocols for an enhanced recovery to dealing with

high-risk patients and starting critical care early in the operating theatre. We are

also very fortunate to have the concurrent Obstetric Satellite Meeting of World

Congress for obstetric anaesthetists coming from all over the world. This Congress

is a major event not to be missed, as it is an opportunity for all anaesthetists in this

region to meet, learn and share their experiences while building a strong network

in our professional community.

We look forward to seeing all of you from 25th to 27th August 2016.

Dr Loh Pui San

Message from the Scientific Chairperson of the Obstetric Anaesthesia Satellite Meeting

We are very lucky indeed to be able to include in this meeting, some world

renowned obstetric anaesthesia speakers who will be on their way to Hong Kong

to speak in the World Congress of Anaesthesiologists. They have graciously offered

to share their expertise in the form of lectures, panel discussions, and of course,

their skills in the obstetric anaesthesia workshops on topics that reflect issues

present in our everyday obstetric patients. We therefore, put together initially a

programme to be known as the Obstetric Satellite Meeting in Kuala Lumpur under

the auspices of the WCA.

There was, however, a minor concern about the turnout, especially in terms of

participants from the ASEAN region with the understanding that many of them

may not be able to find the funds to attend both the Satellite Meeting, as well as

the WCA. The Scientific Committees have since reconvened and made the decision

to extend the invitation to other non-obstetric attendees and tailor the event

accordingly.

The conference was therefore, merged with the Annual Scientific Meeting to

include the non-obstetric section. Besides speakers who were invited specially

for this portion of the conference, our obstetric anaesthesia colleagues have also

generously extended their stay to cover the non-obstetric anaesthesia section.

We have now a most interesting array of world class speakers (both non-obstetric

anaesthesia and obstetric anaesthesia related) plus of course, our own Malaysian

contingent who have generously given their time and effort to make this meeting

a truly international bonanza.

We welcome you to enjoy the scientific content!

It is my honor and pleasure to introduce Dr Chang Ham Long for honorary

membership of the Malaysian Society of Anaesthesiologists.

Born in Pusing, Perak, in 1946, Dr Chang had his primary school education

in the Government English School in Pusing. He did his secondary education

in Ipoh at the Anglo-Chinese School (ACS) and completed Form 6 in 1965.

In 1966, he was given a scholarship to do medicine at the University of Malaya

and graduated with MBBS in 1971.

He worked at the General Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, for four years after

graduation and during that time, in 1973, he passed the Primary Examination

of FFARACS. He moved to the University Hospital in 1974 under the University of

Malaya Assistant Lecturer Training Scheme and passed the Australian Fellowship

of Anaesthesiology (FFARACS) at the end of 1976. At that time, the examinations

were held at the University of Singapore. So he is one of our fully locally trained

anaesthesiologists, long before the Masters programme was started.

Dr Chang decided that an academic career was not his cup of tea, so he joined

Tung Shin Hospital Kuala Lumpur, in 1977, where he worked till he retired in

2013.

Dr Chang was therefore, one of our earliest Malaysian anaesthesiologists in

private practice, and he has been an exemplary medical practitioner,

maintaining high standards of practice and keeping up with the developments

in the field and updating himself with regular attendances at CME sessions over

the years.

Despite being in private practice, Dr Chang has also contributed significantly

to the Malaysian Society of Anaesthesiologists. His involvement started when he

was a trainee lecturer in University Malaya, being the Honorary Secretary of the

then Malayan Anaesthetic Society in 1975. He took a break from Society work

while establishing himself in private practice, but came back again to contribute

to the Society by taking up the position of President of the Malaysian Society

of Anaesthesiologists from 1994 to1996. He was a trustee of the Scientific and

Educational Trust Fund with the late Dato’ Dr Lim Say Wan for many years.

He was conferred the Fellowship of the Academy of Medicine of Malaysia and

served as the first President of the College from 1996 to1998.

MSA Honorary Member – Dr Chang Ham Long

While it seems that Dr Chang was either working hard in hospital or serving

in our professional Anaesthesiology societies, that is not so. He is married to

Dr Chan Wai May, a General Practitioner (now retired) and has two children,

both boys, who have migrated overseas. He also plays golf regularly and has

been doing so for many years, and was Captain of the Royal Selangor Golf

Club from 1999 to 2001; in fact, his involvement with golf was so regular that

his wife thinks he spent more time in the golf course than working! He has also

been collecting and running classic cars for the past 40 years - over that period

of time, he must have collected so many cars that he must be continuously

renovating his house to make way for his cars!

On a personal note, I have known Dr Chang since 1994 when he was President

of the MSA and I was a young member of the Executive Committee. The thing

that impressed me most about Dr Chang was that he was a very kind and

soft-spoken man, but at the same time, he was firm and efficient and he always

managed to finish the Executive Committee meetings in exactly one hour.

At that time, I naively thought that this was the norm in meetings (that they

would be short and sweet!) and I only found out later that it was due to

Dr Chang’s expert diplomacy and efficiency that this was so.

Dr Chang has now retired and is enjoying the fruits of his labour and relaxing

on the golf course, running his vintage cars, and spending time up keeping his

beautiful garden.

He definitely deserves to be conferred as Honorary Member of the Malaysian

Society of Anaesthesiologists and we hope to see him at our Society conferences

and meetings for many years to come.

TECHNOLOGy - FRIEND OR FOE? BACK TO BASICS – DEALING wITH ADVANCES IN ANAESTHESIA

Gavin Kenny

university of glasgow, uK

There is increasing complexity within anaesthesia caused by the greater number of alarms, the increased amount and complexity of patient monitoring, and more complex anaesthetic machines. In addition, the available drugs and equipment have changed markedly over the past decades.

As anaesthetic and monitoring systems become more highly automated and removed from our direct control, the user can become further disconnected from understanding the processes and problems associated with clinical care, especially during the developmentofacriticalsituation.Thishasbecomeincreasinglyevident in theairline industrywherepossibleover-relianceonautomation has led to the reduced ability of some pilots to deal with complex and critical situations. We may already be seeing similar signs within the practice of anaesthesia and we must ensure that teaching provides our juniors with the ability to rely on the basics of good clinical practice.

There are two rules which apply to any proposed new development. It must either undertake a task which would be impossible without the technology or else it must perform the task better than with present technologies and with a better outcome. If the development follows neither of these two rules, then it is likely that it will not succeed.

Development and implementation of new technology must be controlled and directed by anaesthetists. It must be used with as much skill as we practice the art of anaesthesia. Examples will be given of systems which demonstrate real improvement in clinical care.

Professor of anesthesiology and Pain Management at the university of texas southwestern Medical school in dallas, texas

In recent years, there has been an emphasis on enhanced recovery after surgery to allow for shorter hospital length of stay. It is now realizedthatintraoperativeanesthesiatechniqueinfluencesnotonlyimmediatepostoperativeoutcome(e.g.delayedemergence),but also increase postoperative morbidity (e.g. postoperative pulmonary complications). The aim of this presentation is to discuss the current evidence for an optimal general anesthetic technique that would allow rapid recovery after surgery in adults.

DIABETES IN CARDIAC SURGERyTi Lian Kah

department of anaesthesia, yong Loo Lin school of Medicine, national university of singapore, singapore national university health system, singapore

Diabetes is unfortunately a very common disease in both Malaysia and Singapore. Almost 50% of patients presenting for cardiac surgery at the two national heart centres in Singapore are diabetic. Patients with diabetes have higher rates of perioperative morbidityandmortalityandareducedlong-termsurvivalratethanthosewithoutdiabetes;withanoddsratioof1.15fordeathwithin30 days, increased risk of stroke, renal failure, and deep sternal wound infection. Although much of these risks may be explained by co-morbiddiseasesandcomplicationsofdiabetes,glycemiccontrolinpatientswithdiabetesdecreasesperioperativemorbidityandimprovesbothshortandlong-termsurvival.

TheACCF/AHA1 and STS2 both published guidelines on glucose control management during cardiac surgery, derived primarily from research on patients undergoing CABg. The guidelines confirmed that blood glucose levels of >11.1 mmol/l in the perioperative period resulted in greater morbidity and mortality. The evidence also showed that maintaining blood glucose level <10 mmol/l was beneficial, but tighter control to <7.8 mmol/l did not appear to confer further benefit.

Data from our local patients in Singapore, however, suggest that tighter glycemic control to <8 mmol/l results in less infection, acute kidney injury and atrial fibrillation3-5. We postulate that this may be due to a reduction in variability of glucose levels afforded by tighter control.

ANAESTHESIA FOR THORACOSCOpIC SURGERy IN CHILDRENFelicia S K Lim

universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

With the advancement in technology and refinement in techniques and the development of fine instruments for small infants and children, the use of video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in paediatric patients is increasing. VATS offers many advantages suchasminimalinvasiveness,smallincision,reductioninpost-operativepain,andfasterpostoperativerecovery.However,VATSininfants and younger children still remains a challenge largely due to their small size and lower capacity.

VATS involves performance of intrathoracic procedures through several small thoracostomy openings without a thoracotomy. Requirements include adequate ventilation and oxygenation, a ‘quiet’ surgical field with adequate exposure and avoidance of contamination of normal lung. Visualization of intrathoracic structures requires a partially or totally collapsed ipsilateral lung and canbeperformedbyone-lungventilation(OLV)ortwo-lungventilationincombinationwithCO2insufflation.

Anaesthetic management for VATS should take into consideration the patient’s underlying status as well as the physiological derangementscausedbyCO2insufflationandtheeffectsoflateraldecubitusposition.Thiscanhavesignificantadverseeffectsonthe cardiopulmonary physiology which can aggravate the pathophysiological changes already present due to the existing disease process.

A thorough preoperative evaluation, thorough understanding of the underlying pathology, severity of pulmonary disease, ability of patient to tolerate lateral decubitus position and positive pressure ventilation. A knowledge of the various methods of lung isolation, the physiology of one lung ventilation is also very important. An individualized meticulous planning, and continuous vigilance to detect any untoward event at the earliest, with good communication between the anaesthetic and surgical teams contributes to a safe and successful surgery.

pOSTOpERATIVE NAUSEA AND VOMITINGAshraf S Habib

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (POnV) are frequent and unpleasant side effects following surgery. The overall incidence of POnV has decreased from 60 % when ether and cyclopropane were used, to approximately 30 % nowadays. However in certain high-riskpatientsthisincidenceisstillashighas70%.PONVcanincreasemedicalcostsbydelayingrecoveryroomdischargeorleadingtounplannedadmissionsfollowingoutpatientsurgery.Post-dischargenauseaandvomiting(PDNV)canalsoleadtoadelayinresumptionofdailyactivities.Fromthepatients’perspective,nauseaandvomitingareamongthemostunpleasantexperiencesassociatedwith surgery.Numerouspatient, anesthesia, and surgical risk factorshavebeen identified.Well-establishedpatientrelated risk factors include femalegender,non-smokingstatus,andhistoryofPONVormotionsickness. Increasingdurationofsurgery, and use of volatile agents, nitrous oxide, and opioids are well established surgery and anesthesia related risk factors. Some types of surgery are also associated with a higher risk for POnV. The etiology of POnV is multifactorial, with at least 5 major receptor systems involved in the pathogenesis of POnV: the dopaminergic D2 receptors, the cholinergic muscarinic receptors, the histaminergic H1 receptors, the serotonergic (5HT3) receptors, and the neurokinin 1 (nK1) receptors. Antagonists at those receptors constitute the mainstay of POnV management. Use of a combination of antiemetics acting at different receptor subtypes is associated with improved POnV prophylaxis compared to monotherapy. The multimodal approach refers to using combination antiemetic therapy in addition to strategies to reduce the baseline risk of POnV. The ideal prophylactic strategy (risk adapted strategy vs. universal combination therapy) is debated.

2. Discuss various interventions for POnV prophylaxis.

3. Review strategies for the treatment of established POnV.

AIRwAy MANAGEMENT OVER THE LAST 5 yEARSEugene Liu

national university hospital, singapore

Patterns of airway usage now show that supraglottic airway devices, in particular laryngeal mask airways, are used in the majority of general anaesthetics. LMAs feature in all algorithms for cannot ventilate cannot intubate situations but caution is needed. Although the ease and success of LMA insertion may not be affected by the factors that make tracheal intubation and mask ventilation difficult, some factors such as short thyromental distance and limited neck movement also affect LMA insertion. Video laryngoscopes are increasingly used in difficult airway management and could become routinely used for normal airways in the future.

The difficult airway can be a very traumatising experience for all health professionals. The incidence has not changed much despite the development of new airway devices. The key points to successfully manage this situation are preparation and a good team work. The presentation will highlight what is expected of an anaesthetic assistant during such an episode, including the basic usual airway management, the anticipated difficult airway and the dreaded unanticipated. Different gadgets and conduct of management will also be presented.

introductionMagnetic resonance (MR) imaging has become more powerful as an invaluable tool in diagnosis and intervention. As anesthetists, we are increasingly involved in this area of remote anesthetic service. Since 2002, available guidelines have been developed by the Association of Anesthetists of great Britain and Ireland (AAgBI) with recent updates in 2010 that would prove useful to all attending anaesthetists.1 The additional knowledge in recommendations for working in the MRI suite will ensure patient and personnel safety on top of improved quality of care during each procedure.

The aim of the preoperative assessment is to identify interventions that can lead to improved outcomes in patients with comorbidities.

Pulmonary predictors of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) are smoking, chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD), asthma, interstitial lungdiseaseandupper respiratory tract infection.Non-pulmonarypredictorsofPPCareage,generalhealth(ASA) status, obstructive sleep apnoea, pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, nutritional status, dependent functional status and the degree of neurologic impairment.

Pre-operative strategies to reducePPCare smoking cessation, optimizing airflow limitation in patientswithCOPDand asthma,treating lower respiratory tract infections when present and lung expansion techniques.

Intra-operative strategies include considering intraoperative analgesia with epidural or regional technique when indicated,consideringlaparoscopicversusopensurgeryandensuringadequatefluidmanagementwithgoal-directedtherapy.

Post-operative strategies to reducePPC include selective nasogastric tube decompression after abdominal surgery, nutritionalsupport, lung expansion maneuvers and epidural analgesia.

pOSTOpERATIVE pAIN MANAGEMENT: CURRENT TECHNIqUES IN THE NEw ERAKhoo Eng Lea

national cancer institute, Putrajaya, Malaysia

Over the years, postoperative pain management has undergone a major paradigm shift from emphasis on a sickness model of care to a wellness model of care. Since the introduction of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathway and the PROSPECT (procedure specific postoperative pain management) group about a decade ago, it is now well recognized that perioperative, including postoperative pain management, embraces a multidisciplinary team strategy that focuses on early restoration of function, and reduction of complications and duration of hospital stay. Besides that, prevention of chronic postsurgical pain is another important goal of effective postoperative pain management.

Pivotal to this is the concept of preventive analgesia, which traditionally hinges on using multimodal preventative pharmacological analgesictechniquessuchasepiduralanalgesia,andotheropioid-sparingagentslikeNMDAantagonist,gabapentinoids,NSAIDsandlocalanaestheticwoundinfiltration.Itisinterestingtonotethatthereareincreasingutilizationandevidenceofultrasound-guidedperipheral nerves block and truncal blocks (TPVB,PECS, QLB, TAP) for postoperative pain management. These will play an important role in the new era, especially with the increased availability of ultrasound machines and the rise in number of anaesthetists who are trainedinultrasound-guidedregionalanaesthesia.

Nevertheless, there must be also emphasis on non-pharmacological techniques. This is where we should fully utilize themultidisciplinary armamentarium in pain management; which include patient education, physiotherapy, psychological therapy & behavioural therapy.

Multimodal approach to pain control involves administration of combination and often multiple analgesics or modalities at various time points during the course of surgery that includes preoperative period. Pain control after knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be achieved withacombinationofdrugsusedduringthepreoperative(NSAIDS,COX-2inhibitors,anticonvulsants),intra-operative(opioids,localanesthetics),andthepostoperativeperiods(opioids,NSAIDS,COX-2inhibitors,α2-Agonists,NMDAantagonists,anticonvulsants,and centrally acting analgesics as acetaminophen).

Experienceofsettingupalivertransplantationteamandprogramindifferentcountriesisreviewed.Theteamisnormallyspear-headed by a transplant surgeon or hepatobiliary surgeon with transplant training. More than one surgeon is needed to start a program. A team of transplant anaesthetists is essential and should be involved early in planning and program strategy. Other core members include intensivists, hepatologists, microvascular surgeons (if live donor liver transplantation is planned), a transplant coordinator, theatre nursing team and perfusionists with experience or training in transplantation. Clinical psychologists are needed for pre-operative assessment and preparation, especially for live-donor programs. Interventional radiologists and pathologistsexperienced with transplant patients are other team members who can help ensure a successful program.

THE ESSENTIALS OF TIME OUTNJ McDonnell

King edward Memorial hospital, Perth, Western australia the university of Western australia, Perth, Western australia

st John of god hospital, subiaco, Western australia

In 2007 the World Alliance for Patient Safety took up the WHO Second global Patient Safety Challenge: Safe Surgery Saves Lives. The challenge focused on improving the safety of surgical care across both the developing and developed world. Whilst surgery is often life saving and no doubt improves the lives of the majority of patients, a large number of patients worldwide suffer from preventable harm secondary to surgery.

As part of the push to improve surgical safety, the WHO developed the Safe Surgical Checklist. This, in conjunction with the book by US surgeon and author Atul guwande (“The Checklist Manifesto: How to get things right”), led to the formal adoption and roll out of the Safe Surgical Checklist across a large number of institutions worldwide. In many countries the checklist became a mandated part of surgical care, however just because a checklist may be mandated by authorities does not necessarily mean it will be utilised as it should be, unless there is significant buy in from all staff who work in the operating theatre environment.

The Safe Surgical Checklist has three main components which are potentially modifiable to suit individual institutions (or specialty) requirements. These steps are the “sign in” process, the “time out” and then the “sign out” of the patient from the operating theatre. The anaesthetist has an important role at all three steps, not only does the checklist potentially benefit patients by ensuring aspects ofcaresuchasantibioticandthrombo-prophylaxisplanshavebeenconfirmed,onemajorbenefitofthechecklististheimprovementofteamworkandcommunicationamongstmembersoftheoperatingtheatreteam-breakingdowntraditionalhierarchicalmodelsand giving staff more confidence to speak up when a patient safety related situation may be arising.

2. Review the intracellular mechanisms associated with an acute MH event;

3. Explain the treatment of an acute intraoperative MH event;

4. Describe testing for MH susceptibility

abstractMalignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptibility is a pharmacogenetic disorder of skeletal muscle.1 The hypermetabolic syndrome is classically triggered in susceptible individuals by exposure to volatile anesthetic agents and/or succinylcholine. Classic signs of acute MHincludehypercarbia(raiseinend-tidalCO

Although MH has classically been described in association with anesthesia, it has more recently been described in awake patients with a stress trigger.2

An MH crisis is caused by an uncontrolled increase in intramyocellular calcium concentration, triggering muscle cell contracture and hypermetabolism. Dantrolene controls the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Many individuals with MH susceptibility have mutations in the ryanodine receptor gene (rYr1), leading to dysfunction of the ryanodine protein which controls calcium release into the cytoplasm.

Optimizing drug therapy is an essential part of caring for an older person. The process of prescribing a medication is complex and includes: deciding that a drug is indicated, choosing the best drug, determining a dose and schedule appropriate for the patient’s physiologic status, monitoring for effectiveness and toxicity, educating the patient about expected side effects, and indications for seeking consultation.

Avoidable adverse drug events (ADEs) are the serious consequences of inappropriate drug prescribing. The possibility of an ADE should always be borne in mind when evaluating an older adult individual.

POCD has been defined in a consensus statement as “a spectrum of postoperative central nervous system (CnS) dysfunction both acute and persistent… including brain death, stroke, subtle neurologic signs and neuropsychological impairment. It refers to problems in thinking and memory after surgery, and occurs more in patients age > 60, is associated with early exit from the workforce, decreased quality of life, and premature mortality and typically lasts for weeks to months. POCD should be distinguished from delirium or dementia.

Some of the risk factors include more extensive surgery under gA, following secondary surgery or prolonged surgery, presence of Intraoperative complications, alcohol abuse, poor educational status etc.

Recent studies have concluded that there was no relationship between anesthetic techniques and the magnitude or pattern of POCD.

EMBRACE A CRITICAL MINDRamani Vijayan

department of anaesthesiology, university Malaya Medical centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Critical thinking means making reasoned judgments that are logical and well thought out. It is a way of thinking in which you don’t simply accept all arguments and conclusions you are exposed to but rather have an attitude involving questioning them before acceptingthem.Beingcritical-mindedmeansthatyouarenotonlyopentonewideasbutyoualsohavetothinkifyourideaislogicalor not. It is therefore an important attribute is any endeavour, but particularly so in the scientific field involving research.

Critical thinking can be divided into the following three core skills:

1. Curiosity is the desire to learn more information and seek evidence as well as being open to new ideas.

2. Scepticism involves having a healthy questioning attitude about new information that you are exposed to and not blindly believing everything everyone tells you.

3. Finally,humility is the ability to admit that your opinions and ideas are wrong when faced with new convincing evidence that states otherwise.

Critical thinking is not intuitive and needs to be taught starting from high school and continued into universities. It is a matter of changingthemind-set.Unleashingacriticalmindwillhelpstudentsnotonlyenhancetheirachievementsbutthriveandsurviveinthe real world.

MODERN TECHNIqUES IN MAINTAINING NEURAxIAL BLOCK IN LABOURAlex TH Sia

KK Women’s and children’s hospital, duke nus Medical school, singapore

The recent advances in the practice of evidence-basedmedicine and the evolution of technology, particularly in drug deliverysystems, have conferred changes in the provision of neuraxial block for labour pain management.

These enhancements have improved the efficacy, safety and efficiency of intrapartum neuraxial analgesia. Epidural analgesia has commonly been considered as the method of choice for labour pain relief because of its ability to provide unparalleled analgesia and superior maternal satisfaction; modern neuraxial block could confer bespoke analgesia for parturients’ at various stages of labour with a comparably favourable profile of side effect.

The talk aims to provide an update on some of the advances made in neuraxial blokc in labour in the last few years. The impact of combined spinal-epidural technique will be outlined; the role of low-dose concentration epidural solutions, in relation withobstetricoutcomeswillalsobediscussed.Patient-controlledepiduralanalgesia(PCEA)andmorerecently,programmedintermittentor automated mandatory boluses in the maintenance of epidural labour analgesia will be described. A discourse on the newer interactive techniques of drug delivery in labour analgesia, such as computer-integrated patient controlled epidural analgesia(CIPCEA) and variable frequency automated mandatory bolus (VAMB) will be provided. The role of these techniques and their future clinical research perspectives will be explored.

objectivesAt the completion of this lecture participants should be able to:

1. Describe the mechanisms contributing to fetal bradycardia following neuraxial anesthesia;

2. Formulateatreatmentplanforinuterofetalresuscitation.

abstractnonreassuring fetal heart rate patterns, including bradycardia, within 60 minutes of the initiation of neuraxial labor analgesia reportedly occurs with an incidence of 2% to 30%. Although maternal hypotension leading to decreased uteroplacental perfusion is an obvious mechanism of fetal hypoxemia causing bradycardia, many of these episodes occur in the setting of normotension. In a sentinel report, Clarke et al. described fetal bradycardia in 9 of 30 women who received intrathecal fentanyl.1 The bradycardia was associated with uterine tachysystole. They proposed that acute onset of pain relief results in an acute decrease in circulating epinephrine. Epinephrine, through its β-adrenergicagonistaction,isatocolytic.Acutelossoftocolysiscausesuterinetachysystole.Because the uterus is perfused during diastole, tachysystole results in decreased uteroplacental perfusion, fetal hypoxemia, and ultimately,fetalbradycardia.Thebradycardiaisusuallyself-limiting(<10min)andstudieshavenotfoundanincreaseincesareandelivery rate.

Thedataareinconsistentastowhethertheincidenceoffetalbradycardiaisworsenedbytheuseofcombinedspinal-epidural(CSE)compared with an epidural analgesia, use of intrathecal opioids compared with other neuraxial drugs, and higher opioid doses.

MANAGEMENT OF THE SIDE EFFECTS OF NEURAxIAL OpIOIDSAshraf S Habib, MBBCh, MSc, MHSc, FRCA

duke university, durham, nc, usa

neuraxial opioids currently represent the gold standard for providing effective analgesia following cesarean delivery. Morphine is the least lipophilic agent, so it has a long duration of action and is used as standard of care in many countries for post cesarean analgesia. However its use can be associated with side effects including pruritus, postoperative nausea and vomiting (POnV), urinary retention and respiratory depression. Using the least effective dose of neuraxial morphine is recommended to reduce the incidence and severity of side effects. Pruritus occurs very commonly after neuraxial morphine administration, and is described as moderate to severe in intensity in up to 50 % of women. The mechanism of neuraxial morphine induced pruritus is not clear. Parturients appear to be particularly susceptible to morphine induced pruritus. A number of strategies have ben investigated fro the prophylaxis and treatment of neuraxial morphine induced pruritus, with opioid antagonists being the most commonly used drugs for this purpose. POnV also occur commonly following neuraxial morphine administration. The etiology of POnV is multifactorial. Administration of prophylacticantiemeticsreducestheincidenceofPONV,withcombinationtherapybeingmoreeffectivethanmonotherapy.Forthetreatment of POnV in patients who received antiemetic prophylaxis, a drug acting at a different receptor should be used. Respiratory depression following neuraxial morphine administration is very rare in the obstetric patient population. Data on urinary retention is very limited, but suggest that the risk may be increased following neuraxial opioids. Rarely hypothermia has also been reported following neuraxial morphine administration.

objectives1. Discuss the incidence of side effects related to neuraxial opioid administration in women undergoing cesarean delivery.

2. Highlight risk factors, as well as strategies that can be used for the prophylaxis and treatment of those side effects.

3. Review guidelines for monitoring parturients who have received neuraxial morphine.

MANAGEMENT OF SpINAL INDUCED HypOTENSIONAshraf S Habib

duke university, durham, nc, usa

Hypotension occurs commonly following spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery and has adverse maternal and fetal effects. Administrationoffluids,eitherasapreloadorcoload,reducesbutdoesnoteliminatetheoccurrenceofhypotension.Vasopressorsare therefore needed in a significant proportion of patients. While historically ephedrine was considered the vasopressor of choice in obstetric patients, many now use phenylephrine as the first line agent as it is associated with a more favorable neonatal acid base balance, and a lower incidence of maternal intraoperative nausea and vomiting. The use of a combination of phenylephrine and ephedrine does not confer any advantages compared to phenylephrine alone. The optimum dosing and method of phenylephrine administration is not clear. Use of a prophylactic phenylephrine infusion is associated with a lower incidence and magnitude of hypotension compared to treatment of established hypotension with phenylephrine boluses. This method of administration is however associatedwithanincreasedriskofreactivehypertension,bradycardiaandareductioninmaternalcardiacoutput.Fixedrateandvariable rate phenylephrine infusions, as well as prophylactic phenylephrine boluses have been studied. Closed loop techniques may offer better blood pressure control compared with manual administration of vasopressors.

objectives1. Review the effectiveness of crystalloids and colloids for the reduction of spinal induced hypotension.

2. Review the impact of administration of different vasopressors on maternal and neonatal outcomes.

3. Understand the advantages and disadvantages of various methods of phenylephrine administration.

pERMANENT pARALySIS FOLLOwING MAJOR NEURAxIAL BLOCKADE – A SIGNIFICANT THREAT?

Permanent Paralysis as a result of a Regional Anaesthesia (RA) technique is an exceedingly rare event. nevertheless, because of the catastrophic nature of this serious adverse event, the natural history of patterns of use of these techniques across many nations has been shaped by this one complication. Regional popularity of epidurals (EDB), spinals (SAB) and combined (CSE) has waxed and waned, over time, often in tune with some major local inadvertent mishap.

Inability to use major neuraxial blockade, for whatever reason (eg. sepsis, bleeding diathesis, spinal deformity) for anaesthesia and analgesia for the parturient of itself poses a significant threat to life and limb. Avoidance of RA for CS and operative delivery on the basis that a major complication could occur commits a woman to a far more dangerous course of obstetric, anaesthesia and intensive care management and of trauma from that delivery.

Thesameappliestonon-acutemanagementoflabourwithoutRA.FailuretoaccessRAforpainreliefinlabourbecauseofnon-availability or contraindication condemns a woman to potentially higher maternal and foetal mortality and morbidity rates several orders of magnitude worse than those imposed by major neuraxial block complications.

Epiduralsareusedin80%ofdeliveriesinFrance,66%intheUS,28%intheUKand42%inAustraliaandashighas90+%insomecountries. The great relative safety of SABs, EDBs and CSEs has enabled the development of a milieu for much less painful labour and much more secure and efficient labour and delivery service.

Last year (2015), our hospital, the Royal Hospital for Women (RHW), celebrated 50 years since the establishment of a 24/7 epidural service (and 150 years of a delivery service, 100 years of antenatal care and 25 years of Obstetric Intensive Care). RHW epidural rates for the last 40 years have been ~40%.

The rarity of permanent paralysis from neuraxis regional techniques has to be seen against a backdrop of 131.4 million births per year worldwide. Assuming an EDB overall rate of only 10%, this is equivalent to 260 million safe epidurals over the last 20 years which have generated untold benefit.

nevertheless, the constant search for a safer method of application, of better drugs, equipment, treatment protocols and environment, of education in technique, of superior skill acquisition and of risk reduction by better monitoring and surveillance will render SAB, EDB and CSE even rosier options for future labours and future births.

THE SECOND VICTIM; wE NEED HELp TOOMohd Rohisham Zainal Abidin

hospital tengku ampuan Rahimah, Klang, Malaysia

Throughout the world, approximately 830 women die every day. In Malaysia, at least 2 women die every day during pregnancy and childbirth.Followingamaternaldeath,therewillbeenquiresafterenquiriesstartingfromthedepartment,thedistrictandatstatelevel. The case will also then be scrutinised at national level. If the death was due to major substandard care, then there will be a possibility that a special “external enquiry” that those involved will have to endure. It will be even more complicated when it involves litigation by the family members.

While it is important to investigate a maternal death in the manner that we have today, we tend to totally forget that the event may also have a significant effect to the healthcare personnel involved. Anger, guilt, shame, fear, loneliness, frustration are some of the symptoms. These may be also accompanied with physical disturbances such as fatigue, insomnia, inability to concentrate, tachycardia and hypertension. Some may quickly recover from it but a few may take months or years to heal. These healthcare personnel are known as the “second victim”.

Healthcare personnel are human too. We too need support and care following such a catastrophic event. There is a need to create awareness of this phenomenon. When such events occur, institutions must have a mechanism to support them.

Postoperativeanalgesiaaftercesareandelivery(CD)warrantsuniquechallengestofacilitatemother-infantbondingandbreastfeeding.Mothers want to recover and ambulate sooner to take care of their babies. Intravenous or intrathecal opioid related POnV will hinder such interactions. Epidural infusion offers excellent analgesia, but depending on the location of epidural catheterization, motor blockade may interfere ambulation. Sympathetic blockade may cause dizziness upon ambulation. Breast milk transfer and neonatal effects of analgesic agents is another issue in postcesarean analgesia. We will discuss anesthetic and postcesarean analgesia plan in the following 3 scenarios.

Obstetric haemorrhage continues to be a leading worldwide cause of maternal mortality. Whilst the incidence of maternal deaths secondary to post partum haemorrhage has decreased in many developing countries, in most of the developed world there has been an increase in the incidence of post partum haemorrhage (of which the majority appear to be secondary to uterine atony). Of significant concern is that each maternal death represents just the extreme end on the scale of maternal morbidity secondary toobstetrichaemorrhage.Foreachdeaththatoccursthereareliterallythousandsofwomenthatexperiencesignificantmorbiditysecondarytotheirhaemorrhage.Thismorbiditymayincludeoutcomessuchasaprolongedstayinhospital,peri-partumhysterectomy,fetal loss and the complications associated with blood and blood product transfusion.

THE pREVIOUS DIFFICULT REGIONAL ANAESTHESIA AND DIFFICULT AIRwAySunanda Gupta

geetanjali Medical college, udaipur, india

The anesthetic management of the obstetric patient with a difficult airway, whether anticipated or unanticipated, can be a challenge for any anesthesiologist. If she also has a difficult back due to morbid obesity or previous spinal interventions, with a history of a failed regional anaesthetic technique, the risk of morbidity and mortality can further increase. These patients should be thoroughly evaluated in the antenatal period for risks involving the major organ systems, with special emphasis on examination of the airway and the spines. A plan of airway management should be formulated regardless of primary anaesthetic technique chosen.

All morbidly obese parturients undergoing caesarean section should be placed in a ramped position with left uterine displacement. Regional anaesthesia, whenever possible, is the best choice. An Ultrasound guided placement of Regional anaesthesia with the help of an experienced anaesthesiologist will increase the chances of success in patients with challenging lumbar spine anatomy. A difficult airway cart should always be kept as a standby.

If general anaesthesia is required, the airway should be secured awake by using fibreoptic bronchoscopy ideally performed by an experienced endoscopist. The nasal mucosa is friable during pregnancy and nasal intubation may be problematic because of bleeding hence oral route should be preferred. Thus the key to successful management is a close loop communication between obstetrician and an experienced anesthesiologist with a careful anesthetic planning to ensure safe maternal and fetal outcome in these parturients with a difficult airway and anticipated difficult regional anaesthesia. Some cases, with author’s personal experience in managing such cases will be discussed.

THE CARDIAC pARTURIENTKatsuo Terui

saitama Medical center, saitama Medical university, Kawagoe, Japan

Cardiac disease is now the number one cause of maternal mortality in some countries. With the advance of pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery, more and more women with congenital heart disease are now reaching childbearing age. In taking care of these parturients with congenital cardiac disease, I would like to point out 3 important points as below.

1. Understand the patient

Understanding the pathophysiology and optimal balance of systemic and pulmonary circulation is most important to optimize hemodynamics and oxygenation, especially in complex congenital heart disease. Review previous operation records to identify the type and location of BT shunt, so that blood pressure monitoring site is appropriate. The regurgitation to the subpulmonic ventricle is one of the risk factors to cardiac event during pregnancy and parturition by CARPREg score.

2. Plan labor epidural analgesia accordingly

Labor epidural analgesia (LEA) is beneficial in most of the cardiac diseases to stabilize hemodynamics and to reduce burden to thevasculatureduringparturition.EvenaorticstenosisorHOCMpatientsmaybenefitfromLEAwhencombinedwithcarefulfluidmanagement and judicious use of epidural local anesthetic. LEA will prevent sympathetic nervous system activation dur to pain during labor, and reduce, but not eliminate, the periodic BP and CVP increase with each uterine contraction. Bearing down for delivery of the infant may be avoided in certain patients with pulmonary hypertension or severe mitral stenosis. Postpartum blood lossislargestinwomenafterFontanoperation,thusmaintainingbloodvolumeisimportant.

3. Plan emergency cesarean delivery

Some women inevitably require stat cesarean delivery during labor for obstetric indications, or during pregnancy due to cardiac condition. Anesthetic plan for such emergencies must be made in advance by consulting anesthesiologists during pregnancy.

Expertise in both cardiac and obstetric anesthesia will make anesthesiologist most useful profession for cardiac parturients.

Obesity is a worldwide epidemic. It is associated with numerous comorbidities and increased maternal, fetal and neonatal complications. The anesthetic management of these patients is challenging and requires multidisciplinary collaboration and referral for an antenatal anesthesia consultation for adequate planning. The incidence of difficult intubation is increased in obese parturients. neuraxial analgesia represents the best modality for providing labor analgesia in the obese parturient, to avoid the risk for needing general anesthesia in a patient with a potentially difficult airway. However, it can be technically challenging. The risk of both elective and emergent cesarean delivery is increased in the obese parturient. An existing labor epidural catheter can be topped upforcesareandelivery.Inpatientswhodonothaveawell-functioninglaborepidural,acombinedspinalepiduraltechniquemightbepreferredoverasingle-shotspinaltechniquesinceitistechnicallyeasierandallowsforextendingthedurationoftheblockasrequired. A continuous spinal technique can also be considered. Intraoperatively, patients should be placed in a ramped position, with close monitoring of ventilation and hemodynamic status. Post operatively adequate analgesia is crucial to allow for early mobilization, neonatal bonding, and pain control. This can be achieved using a multimodal regimen incorporating neuraxial morphine (withappropriateobservations)withschedulednonsteroidalanti-inflammatorydrugsandacetaminophen.Thromboprophylaxisisessential in this patient population due to the increased risk of thromboembolic complications. These patients should be monitored carefully in the postoperative period, since there is increased risk of postoperative complications in the morbidly obese.

objectivesAt the completion of this interactive session participants should be able to:

1. Assess the cost: benefit ratio of the continued use of antithrombotic agents and their discontinuation to provide a window for the anesthesia and surgery;

2. Understand which antithrombotic agents can be monitored using simple haematological investigations, what the effective life of each agent is and which agents can be reversed;

6. Evaluatepost-operativemonitoringand‘bestcare’toprovideabasisforgoodoutcomeinthisgroupofvulnerablepatients.

abstractRegional anesthesia is the predominant form of anesthesia for Caesarean Section (CS) and of analgesia for labour and delivery. In parturients who are, knowingly or unknowingly, on antithrombotic agents or have a bleeding tendency, management of their major neuraxial regional anesthesia can be fraught with danger.

The number of parturients on antithrombotics (used for a variety of reasons, eg. mechanical heart valves, venous thromboembolism, previous pulmonary embolism) continues to rise.

One solution lies in making a cost:benefit assessment of the choice of RA versus other alternatives, eg. in labour, a switch to remifentanil PCA; at CS the switch to gA.

Sometimes,adecisiontostopananti-thromboticcarriesameasurableriskwiththedurationofthewindowofdrugcessationbeinga major potential morbidity adverse outcome factor. It becomes important to weigh the consequences of discontinuation of the antithrombotic agents, and for how long to do so, to create a safe window for the RA. The stakes are high because one has to balance therelativeriskofamajorthrombo-embolicevent(eg.thromboticstroke)againstthepossibilityofsignificantspinalhaemorrhageproducing serious neurological injury (eg. paraplegia).

AIRwAy OF THE OBESE pARTURIENTAshraf S Habib

duke university, durham, nc, usa

The risk of difficult intubation is higher in obstetric patients compared to the general surgical population. This risk is further increased in the obese parturient. Historically, intubation problems and aspiration of gastric contents were major causes of anesthesia related maternal mortality. Airway problems at emergence are also associated with maternal mortality, with obesity being a major risk for those problems. neuraxial techniques are therefore strongly encouraged in the obese parturient to reduce the likelihood of needing general anesthesia in a parturient with a potentially difficult airway. Maternal mortality associated with general anesthesia has however significantly decreased in recent years due to better monitoring and published standards for anesthetic care including difficult airway algorithms.

objectives1. Review data on anesthesia related maternal mortality.

2. Understand factors leading to increased risk of difficult intubation in the obese parturient.

3. Review changes in anesthetic management that contributed to reduced maternal mortality related to airway problems.

4. Review current guidelines for the management of difficult and failed intubation in obstetric patients.

Background and objectiveOur institution had seen a surge in number of patients had postoperative neurological symptoms (POnS) after peripheral nerve blocks (PnBs). The hype was many pinpoint as block related nerve injury. Hence we carried out a retrospective audit on all patients received PnBs over the last two years.

MethodologyThis was an institutional review with waiver of informed consent. Ethical approval was not required. The audit period were from 1st January2014until31stDecember2015andcomprisedoftwoparts:First,descriptionoftotalnumberofpatientsreceivedPNBs,totalnumber of blocks performed and number of patients who developed POnS. Second, review the cohort of patients required follow up for POnS after PnBs in the anaesthetic clinic. The independent expert panel would evaluate their summarized information. Overall findings were presented in quantitative analysis in combination with literature interpretation, case review (clinical vignettes) and expert opinion.

resultsA total of 1435 patients received PnBs and 1,856 blocks were performed on them (highest number in Malaysia).

36 patients developed POnS, giving incidence of 19 per 1000 blocks. 28 of them had persistent numbness beyond the expected duration of block (78%). The rest had combined motor weakness and numbness. Most of them recovered few days after operation and discharged without the need for clinic follow up.

17 patients required follow up. 7 of them had electrodiagnostic study. Detailed analysis with expert feedback, majority were surgical related nerve injury, 4 patients had significant patient related factor. none had block related nerve injury. Most had full recovery and many defaulted subsequent follow up.

ConclusionPOnS was common with most had sensory paraesthesia which resolved within few weeks postoperatively. Most were likely due to non anaesthesia related cause than nerve block related nerve injury. There is definite need to have guideline to manage patients with POnS.

Two unlikely related to neuraxial blocks. 10 had major complications – 1 case of epidural hematoma (giving incidence of 2.7 per 100,000 neuraxial blocks), 9 cases of cardiovascular collapse (whether direct or indirect to CnBs – e.g. high spinal, confounding sepsis; with 1 death on table). The most common minor complications were ADP with PDPH, followed by transient neurological symptoms (TnS), retained epidural catheter and backache. Identifiable risk factors: female, obstetric and extreme body mass index (BMI) patients.

1 case had filed complaint to the hospital authority.

ConclusionThis was the first baseline database for Malaysian population on neuraxial complications. Major limitation was poor data entry and it’s a retrospective analysis. There’s a great need for proper documentation and data collection system (prospective, digitalized information).

2university of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

objectivesCoughing during emergence from general anaesthesia may cause unfavorable side effects namely; sore throat, nausea, surgical site bleeding and increase in intracranial and intraocular pressure. To compare the incidence and severity of cough on emergence in patients undergoing general anesthesia receiving either neostigmine or sugammadex in a bolus or staggered dose for their reversal. Risk factors for severe cough on emergence are determined as the secondary objective.

MethodsThiswasarandomizedcontroltrialperformedintheoperationtheatreofUniversityMalayaMedicalCentre.120ASA1-3patients,18-80 years old, undergoing general anaesthesia and planned for extubation were included and randomized to three groups of reversal:

A – sugammadex 1mg/kg on emergence and another 1mg/kg immediately post extubation

B – sugammadex 2mg/kg on emergence

C – neostigmine 2.5mg/glycopyrrolate 200mcg as control

Perioperative and demographic data, incidence and severity of cough on emergence, sedation score, vital signs and reversal time were recorded and analyzed. Patients were followed up until discharge to ward. Postoperative cough, sore throat, agitation, vital signs and postoperative nausea and vomiting were monitored in recovery.

resultsStaggered dose of sugammadex compared to bolus dose showed less incidence of severe cough with good safety profile. Sugammadex 2mg/kg as a single bolus showed a significantly higher incidence of severe cough on emergence compared to the other2groups(OR:11,95%CI:3.8-31.7,P<0.001).Otherriskfactorsforcoughincludemale,andsmokers.Nosignificantdifferencewas seen in vital signs or adverse events on emergence.

ConclusionStaggered dose of sugammadex is safe and can avoid the hazards of severe cough on emergence.

BackgroundCranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy (DC) does not only restore cosmesis and protective function of the skull, it also facilitates rehabilitation of those patients with syndrome of the trephined. However, cranioplasty is associated with a relatively high overallcomplicationrate(15-36.5%)andtherateofpost-cranioplastyseizuresisquotedas14%.

Case reportA21-year-oldmanunderwentanelectivealloplastic(titanium)cranioplastyfollowingDCperformedtwoyearsagofortraumaticleftfrontoparietal subdural haemorrhage. His glasgow Coma Scale (gCS) score was full. He had mild right hemiparesis but independent inactivitiesofdailyliving.Theawakeningafteranaesthesiawasdelayedfollowingthe2.5-houroperationandcomplicatedwithtonic-clonic seizures which was aborted with propofol and midazolam. Computed tomographic scan of the brain was done on operating table showed an expanded brain with open cisterns, a mild extradural collection without significant mass effect. The collection of subgaleal drain was 800 ml in the 12 hours postoperative period. He had multiple fitting episodes which were eventually controlled with dual antiepileptic drugs. Unfortunately, his gCS remained poor necessitated tracheostomy and prolonged rehabilitation.

discussion and learning pointsCranioplasty is associated with changes in cerebrospinal fluid hydrodynamics, cerebral blood flow and cerebral metabolism.Fatalmassivecerebraloedemahasbeenreportedsporadicallyfollowinganotherwiseuneventfulprocedure.Anegativepressuredifference from the elimination of atmospheric pressure that had been chronically applied on the injured sinking brain in combination with the negative pressure created by a subgaleal vacuum drain may cause shifting of the depressed brain to the reconstructed cranialvaultandinitiateafatalvasomotorreaction.Wepostulatethatpost-cranioplastyseizuresillustratedherewasattributedtointracranial hypotension explainable by the same mechanisms. Both surgeon and anaesthesiologist should be vigilant and aware of this clinical syndrome. Avoiding the application of suction via the subgaleal drain until the patient is fully awake in recovery bay could potentially minimize this uncommon complication.

Background and objectivesPain management in craniotomy patients is delicate as these patients are required to be pain free postoperatively but awake for neurological assessment. In contrast to opioids, intravenous Paracetamol (i.v PCM) does not produce sedation and respiratory depression.Wehypothesizedthat intraoperative i.v.PCMmight influencepostoperativepainscores,morphineconsumptionandopioid-relatedsideeffects.

Methods50 adult patients undergoing elective supratentorial craniotomy were enrolled into the study. Patients were randomized into two groups: i.v. PCM group (n=25), and Control group (n=25). All patients had general anaesthesia with TCI Propofol – Remifentanil. PCMGroup received i.v.PCM1gram30minutesbeforeskin incisionandduringskinclosure.Allpatients received IVFentanyl 1.0mcg/kg20minutesbeforeendofsurgeryandfollowedbypatient-controlledMorphine.Postoperatively,allpatientswereadmittedinto ICU and pain was assessed in the fully awake after extubation (hour 0) and at hour 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 using visual analog score. Morphine consumption and opioids related side effects were recorded within 24 hours after surgery.

results18 patients were excluded as they remained intubated 24 hours after surgery, 32 patients who were extubated immediately included in the analysis. 14 patients (44%) received intraoperative i.v. PCM, and postoperatively their pain scores at multiple time points were significantly lower (χ2 (6, n=32) = 167.0, P < 0.001) and they had lesser morphine consumption (Z = -3.001, P = 0.03) as well. They had lower POnV scores (χ2 (6, n=32) = 33.7, P < 0.001) and less sedated (χ2 (6, n=32) = 158.3, P < 0.001). Their heart rate were significantly lower (P<0.001) but higher systolic blood pressures (P=0.005).

ConclusionsIntraoperative use of i.v. PCM is a useful method of decreasing immediate postoperative pain scores, morphine consumption and opioid-relatedsideeffectsaftersupratentorialcraniotomy.

1department of cardiothoracic anaesthesiology and Perfusion, sarawak heart centre, Kota samarahan, sarawak, Malaysia 2department of anesthesiology and intensive care, sarawak general hospital, Kuching, sarawak, Malaysia

BackgroundIn children, precise depth of tracheal tube insertion is important to avoid inadvertent tracheal extubation or endobronchial intubation. We practiced endotracheal tube length in centimeter at the patient lip based on formula, age/2 +12 for children more than 1 year old and endotracheal tube internal diameter x 3 for children less than 1 year old.

objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of standard practice for estimating oral tracheal tube length in children by using fluoroscopy.

MethodsWe performed orotracheal intubation in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. ETT length was calculated based on age formula (ET1). However, the final ETT length placement will depends on equal auscultation of bilateral breath sounds (ET2). FluoroscopywasusedtomeasurethedistancebetweenthecarinaandthedistaltipoftheETT(D).ActualdistancecalculatedETT(DA)betweenthecarinaandthedistaltipoftheETTwasD–(ET1-ET2).

resultsFourty-twochildrenagedbetween0.11and10years(median4.7yr)werestudied.InET2,noendobronchialintubation,3patients(7.1%) had ETT < 0.5 cm from the carina and 36 patients (85.7%) had ETT > 1 cm from the carina. In DA, 5 patients (11.9%) will have endobronchial intubation while 7 patients (16.7%) will have ETT < 0.5cm from the carina and 22 patients (52.3%) will have ETT above 1 cm from the carina.

ConclusionThis study showed that by using ETT length age-formula alone without clinical assessment will results in high incidence ofendobronchial intubation and low placement of the ETT.

The time taken from starting image scanning until commencing puncture was quicker for the OPA (2.2 vs 12.3 sec, p < 0.0001). The IPA resulted in significantly more attempts for cannulation. Twenty and eleven participants were successful within the first pass using the OPA and IPA, respectively (p = 0.034). There was no statistical difference in the incidence of posterior vessel wall puncture between these two techniques. The OPA had significantly less arterial puncture compared to the IPA (2 vs 9, p = 0.022).

A COMpARISON OF DEpTH OF MUSCLE RELAxATION TO IMpROVE pERFORMANCE OF THERMAL ABLATION FOR LIVER TUMOURS

S Masohood N, Loh P S

university of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Percutaneous thermal ablation of hepatic tumours is one of the main treatment modality for small primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver metastases. Movement by patients during these ablation procedures may reduce the accuracy of targeting the tumour and increase the risk of complications. Large hepatic motion during breathing would also cause technical difficulties for the interventional radiologist to perform the procedure safely.

Recent studies have shown that deep neuromuscular blockade improves surgical conditions in laparoscopic surgery by improving visibility in the surgical field and reducing involuntary movements. This study hopes to prove that deep neuromuscular block will improve the performance of microwave ablation by radiologist. The main objective of this study is to compare the different depths of neuromuscular block between deep neuromuscular blockade (DMB) and moderate neuromuscular blockade (MMB) groups during microwave ablation (MWA) for primary or secondary hepatic tumours to look at the ease of performing the MWA by the interventional radiologist.

This was a single-centre, prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial involving 50 patients undergoing computedtomography (CT) guided microwave ablation (MWA) of primary and secondary liver tumours in Department of Biomedical Imaging, University Malaya Medical Centre from January 2015 to november 2015. This study is registered with national Medical Research Register(NMRRID15-51-24027)andtheUniversityMalayaMedicalCentreEthicsCommittee(MECIDNo.20151-930)approvedthestudy protocol.

The mean performance score by radiologist in the DMB group was higher (mean 4.5, SD ±0.59) compared to the MMB group (mean 3.6, SD±0.85) (p < 0.01). There is a mean difference in the performance score of 0.9 between the two groups. This study proved that deep neuromuscular blockade improves performance of microwave ablation of hepatic malignancy. However, it did not reduce the complications of MWA nor did it shorten procedure duration.

introductionEpidural analgesia is the preferred method of pain relieve during labour. Performing an epidural block in a parturient in labour is always challenging especially in locating the intervertebral space, hence routine use of ultrasound has been recommended.

objectivesThis prospective, randomised study compared the number of attempts, time taken and the desired intervertebral space for epidural catheterinsertionbyusingpre-punctureultrasoundlocalisationorpalpationtechnique.

MethodologySixtysixASAI/IIparturientsinearlyphaseoflabourwererandomisedintotwogroups:GroupU(pre-punctureultrasound,n=33)orgroup P (palpation technique, n=33) for localisation of the intervertebral space for Tuohy needle insertion in labour epidural.

resultsPatients from group U had a significant higher first successful attempt than group P (60.6% vs 33.3%, p = 0.042). The median number ofattemptswas lesser inGroupUcompared toGroupP [1 (1-2)vs2 (1-3),p=0.011].Allparturients fromGroupUhadcorrectintervertebral space for insertion of Tuohy needle compared to group P (100% vs 84.8%, p = 0.027). However, the mean time taken for localisation of the intervertebral space was significantly longer in group U (341.8 ± 65.4 sec vs 15.8 ± 7.2 sec, p < 0.001). There were no complications recorded.

ConclusionPre-puncture ultrasound localisation of intervertebral space for Tuohy needle insertion in labour epidural wasmore accurate,achieving a higher success rate with fewer attempts compared to the palpation method.

department of anesthesiology, seirei hamamatsu general hospital, hamamatsu, Japan

objectivesLabor analgesia is gradually spreading among Japanese pregnant women in recent years. Because an intensification of delivery is difficult in Japan, obstetric anesthesiologists cannot work in only labor ward. Though the need for labor analgesia is increasing, there are not many institutes can provide labor analgesia in Japan. So we have trained obstetricians to be able to insert the epidural catheterization and manage the labor analgesia. Midwives also support the labor analgesia management. Cases of labor analgesia have increased in our hospital in recent 3 years. We retrospectively researched our new labor analgesia system from the point of view of marketing theory.

MethodsThis study was approved by the Institutional Review Board in our hospital. We investigated new our labor analgesia project and system from the point of view of marketing theory July in 2013 to June in 2016. We tried to explain the factor of our successful project to use the 5C analysis and the marketing mix (4P).

resultsThere are the 5C analysis and the marketing mix (4P) in the marketing theory. The 5C are company, consumer, customer competitor and community. The marketing 4P are product, price, place and promotion. The key factors of our successful labor analgesia project and novel were management resource about general hospital (company in 5C) and low frequency of breakthrough pain because of quick responses by obstetricians and midwives (product in 4P). Monthly average number of cases with labor analgesia was 8, 15, 23, 30 cases in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, respectively.

ConclusionsWe unwittingly used the marketing theory and increased number of cases with labor analgesia in our private hospital in Japan.
