IV (Jan. 2015), PP 26-29 www.iosrjournals.org Inpatient Psychiatric Referrals to General Hospital Psychiatry Unit in a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital in Andhra Pradesh 1 Dr G. Suresh kumar, 2 Dr K V Rami Reddy, Anushanemani. Department of Psychiatry;Andhra Medical College;N.T.R.University of Health Sciences;India. Abstract: Background: There is a dearth of studies which are related to consultation-liaison psychiatry in India. The psychiatric referral rates in India are very low, considering the higher rates of psychiatric morbidity in patients who attend various departments of a hospital. Studying the pattern of psychiatric referrals may pave the way for interventions to improve the current scenario. Methods: The study population comprised of all the in patients who were referred for psychiatric consultation from other departments of King George Hospital over a period of one year. Data which was related to socio- demographic profile, source of referral, reason for referral and the psychiatric diagnosis were recorded and analyzed by using descriptive statistical methods. Results: A total of 78 patients were referred for psychiatric consultation. A majority of the psychiatric referrals (84%) were from the department of medicine and the most common reason for referral was evaluation of suicide attempt (50%), followed by abnormal behaviour (23%) and stress neurotic and somatoform disorders(16.6%). Conclusion: There is a need to encourage multi-disciplinary interaction in the management of patients who attend general hospitals, so as to better identify the psychiatric morbidity.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND The incidence of induction of labour is raising worldwide with a rate of 20% to 30% in developed countries. At present, each method of induction of labour has its own merits and demerits. We studied the safety and efficacy of Foley’s catheter in induction of labour at term and compared its safety and efficacy with that of vaginal misoprostol. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a case-control study conducted on 100 pregnant women planned for induction of labour at term with a Bishop’s score of ≤6. Women were randomly divided into two groups of 50 patients in each group. In group A, labour was induced with trans cervical Foley’s catheter and in women in group B labour was induced with 25 micrograms of intravaginal misoprostol 4th hourly up to maximum of 6 doses. Induction delivery intervals and fetomaternal outcomes were noted. RESULTS In group A (Foley’s catheter group) only 50% of women delivered before 24 hours whereas 94% of group B (Misoprostol group) delivered before 24 hrs.

ABSTRACT Background: Surgical site infections are one of the most common complications in the postoperative period leading to increased morbidity, prolonged hospital stay and reduced quality of life. The present study aims to identify the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI), risk factors, causative organisms, and their sensitivity patterns in patients who have undergone elective abdominal surgeries. Methods: A prospective study containing 200 patients who have undergone elective abdominal surgeries from May 2018 to January 2020 were evaluated. A thorough history was taken in all the patients. A detailed clinical examination and routine investigations were done. Parameters such as body mass index (BMI), diabetic status, type of surgery, wound grading, culture, and sensitivity patterns were considered.

Difficult and failed intubation is the leading causes of anesthetic related morbidity and mortality. AIM OF STUDY: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of McCoy laryngoscope and McGrath video laryngoscope in tracheal intubation in patients using Manual in-line stabilization (MILS) for cervical spine injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was conducted in King George Hospital, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh on 60 patients aged 20–70, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I–III, posted for elective surgery for cervical spine injury under general anesthesia. The patients were assigned to two groups. One group was named as MC where McCoy laryngoscope was used, other group named as MG, where McGrath video laryngoscope was used for laryngoscopy during tracheal intubation. Two groups were compared on the basis of demographic data, airway examination, comparison of visualization of vocal cords with McCoy laryngoscope and video laryngoscope and comparison of laryngoscope time. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between male and female sex.
