Post Dural Puncture Headache: A Comparative Study Of 25g And 27g Spinal Needle In Caesarean Section Project started: Project End: Publication status: Published Brief description: Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) particularly following caesarean section is a well-known iatrogenic complication of spinal anesthesia mostly occurs due to loss of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) during the procedure. To reduce the sufferings, over last three decades, spinal needles have been modified and more refined and thinner needles of25-31G have beenused. Considering limited studies in this country, the study was planned to assess comparative superiority of 27G spinal needle over 25G in Caesarean Sectionfor reduction

Mobile Application Can Be an Effective Tool for Reduction of Maternal Mortality Project started: Project End: Publication status: Published Brief description: Partograph is a time tested tool recommended for monitoring of labour, early detection of complications of labour and it plays an important role in reduction of maternal mortality in worldwide. But Substantial underuse of paper Partograph has raised an important question about the effectiveness of this tool in low- and middle-income countries. To overcome all the barriers of use of paper Partograph we innovate a mobile application named “Life Curve”, which is an easier, efficient and cost effective

Post dural puncture headache after spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section: a comparison of 25 g Quincke, 27 g Quincke and 27 g Whitacre spinal needles Project started: Project End: Publication status: Published Brief description: To compare the frequency and severity of post dural puncture headache in obstetric patients using 25G Quincke, 27G Quincke and 27G Whitacre spinal needles.  Comparative, randomized, double-blind, interventional study. Liaquat University Hospital Hyderabad from October 2005 to December 2006. 480 ASA I-II full term pregnant women, 18 to 45 years of age, scheduled for elective Caesarean section, under spinal anaesthesia, were randomized into three groups:

Comparative Analysis of Life Curve Mobile Application: an Easier Alternative to Existing Traditional Paper Partograph Project started: Project End: Publication status: Published Brief description: Approximately 303,000 maternal deaths occurred globally in 2015, of which 99% occurred in the developing countries1. On an average 239 women die per 100,000 live births every year in developing countries2. Majority portion of this maternal death are seen in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia1. Thus  Maternal mortality ratio continues to be the major index of the widening discrepancy in the level of care and the outcome of reproductive health between the advanced and developing
