Abstract
ABSTRACT:
Introduction & Objective: Postoperative pain management and
narcotic usage after inguinal hernia repair is an important concern
for anesthesiologists and surgeons. The purpose of this study was
to find out whether the use of local anesthetic nerve block in
ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric region by bupivacaine could reduce
postoperative pain and hospital admission periods after inguinal
hernia repair.
Materials & Methods: In a randomized clinical trail, 100 patients
with diagnosis of unilateral inguinal hernia undergoing inguinal
hernia repair were randomly allocated to two groups. The patients
in the intervention group (n= 50) received bupivacaine for
ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve blocking, while those in the
control group (n =50) received nothing. Then opioids (methadone)
usage and hospital admission duration were evaluated in the two
groups. The collected data were then analyzed by SPSS software
using descriptive and analytic methods (Chi square and student t
test).
Results: The mean admission times were 1±0.4 and 2±0.91 in the
intervention and control groups respectively and the difference was
statistically significant (p<0.01). Also the number of the patients
who intermittently received methadone was less in the intervention
group in comparison with that of the control (p<0.05). Furthermore,
intervention group received less amount of methadone during their
admission (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Local anesthetic nerve block in ilioinguinal and
iliohypogastric region by bupivacaine could reduce opioids usage
and the duration of hospital stay after inguinal hernia repair.

Abstract
Abstract
Background & aim: Myocardial infarction is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases. Streptokinase is used in patients with myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation. The aim of this study was to compare the side effects of intravenous streptokinase in acute myocardial infarction patients in different age groups.
Methods: In the present analytic descriptive study, the samples included 100 eligible patients which received intravenous streptokinase. The research instrument was a questionnaire consisting of two parts: the first part was used to measure the underlying data and the second part to evaluate the side effects of intravenous streptokinase,. Data were analyzed by chi-square statistical tests.
Results: There were no significant adverse events between intravenous streptokinase and different age groups ((P>0.05).). The most common side effects of this drug were cardiovascular complications in different age groups.
Conclusion: the use of streptokinase intravenous drug in different age groups is associated with risk of cardiovascular complications.
Key words: age, side effects, streptokinase, acute myocardial infarction, thrombolytic therapy, ST elevation
