Research
1.Haemodynamic Responses in Air Oxygen Halothane Anaesthesia in Cardiothoracic
Surgery: A clinical study.
Dissertation submitted for MD Anaesthesiology. Haemodynamic responses to events like
intubation, incision, and sternotomy were studied.
2.Non-invasive ventilation in acute/chronic respiratory insufficiency. Patients use of
variable positive airway pressure.
This project was done to evaluate use of non invasive ventilation in patients presenting with
acute respiratory failure. Encouraging results were found in patients who had Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and had presented with acute respiratory failure.
3. To evaluate efficacy of intermittent subglottic suction in prevention of
ventilator associated pneumonia
One hundred patients expected to be mechanically ventilated for >48 hours were randomized.
Group I (n=50) were intubated with HiLo EvacTM
tube with facility for subglottic suctioning and
Group II (n=50) were intubated with HiLo ContourTM
tube without such facility. In the study
group, subglottic suctioning was performed every 2 hours. Standard VAP prevention measures
were instituted in both groups. Incidence of VAP, mean ventilator days, ICU stay and mortality
were compared. Quantitative variables were reported as means ± standard deviation and were
compared by Student t test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Qualitative variables were reported as
percentages and were compared by chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test, as appropriate. P value
< 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

10. 10 Dr Harsh Vardhan
Results:
The two groups were similar with respect to demographic characteristics but for
APACHE II Scores. VAP was seen in 6% patients receiving intermittent subglottic suctioning
and 22% patients of control group (p=0.021, significant). Both early-onset and late-onset VAP
were significantly reduced in test group. Mean ventilator days were significantly more in control
group with p=0.006 (significant) (8.32 vs 6.52 days). Though not statistically significant, there
was a trend towards reduction in ICU stay (11.32 days vs 14.04 days; p=0.070) and less
incidence of mortality in test group (36% vs 48%, p=0.224).
Intermittent subglottic suctioning was found to reduce the incidence of VAP including
late onset VAP in patients receiving mechanical ventilation.
