Role of Postpartum Furosemide in Recovery of Patients With Severe Preeclampsia

This randomized controlled trial will compare oral furosemide with placebo for improving blood pressure control in women with severe preeclampsia after delivery. Participants will receive either 20 mg of furosemide or a placebo tablet once daily for 5 days, in addition to standard postpartum treatment for high blood pressure. Blood pressure, symptoms, adverse events, and the need for additional antihypertensive medication will be monitored for 7 days after delivery. The study will assess whether adding furosemide helps achieve better postpartum blood pressure control compared with placebo.

Intravenous Magnesium Sulphate Versus Lignocaine for Attenuating Hemodynamic Responses to Laryngoscopy and Endotracheal Intubation

This study will compare intravenous magnesium sulfate with intravenous lidocaine for reducing the cardiovascular response to endotracheal intubation in adult patients undergoing general anesthesia. Eligible participants will receive either magnesium sulfate or lidocaine before endotracheal intubation. Heart rate and blood pressure will be recorded at predefined time points before and after intubation to compare the effectiveness of the two interventions in attenuating the hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation.

Comparing Polyglactin vs Polypropylene Sutures for Rectus Sheath Closure

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the outcomes of Polyglactin (Vicryl) versus Polypropylene (Prolene) sutures for rectus sheath closure in patients undergoing midline laparotomy. The study will evaluate the rates of incisional hernia, surgical site infection (SSI), wound dehiscence, chronic pain, and suture sinus formation. Participants aged 18-70 years, undergoing either elective or emergency laparotomy, will be randomly assigned to receive either Polyglactin or Polypropylene sutures. The primary outcome measure is the incidence of incisional hernia at 6 months, with secondary outcomes including SSI, wound complications, and chronic pain. The study is particularly important in the context of Pakistan, where such comparative data is limited, and aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for optimal suture material selection in general surgery.

Comparison of Frequency of Wound Infection Between Open and Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the frequency of wound infection between open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy in adult patient aged 18- 65 years with symptomatic cholelithiasis admitted through OPD the main question it aims to answer are * Does there is difference in the frequency of wound infection in patients with open cholecystectomy as compared to laparoscopic cholecystectomy Researcher will compare the frequency of wound infection in participant undergoing open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy to see there is difference in frequency of wound infection between open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy Participants will be asked * To Visit OPD after 1 week for follow up * Keep record of symptoms like erythema, pain, cloudy drainage from the incision site
