Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common public health problem with a rising prevalence in developing countries. The progressive nature of CKD and the ensuing ESRD is putting a substantial burden on global health resources since all modalities of treatment are expensive. Present study was aimed to study clinical profile and factors associated with CKD at tertiary health care center. Material and Methods: Present study was single-center, prospective, observational study, conducted in patients age > 18 years, of either gender, diagnosed case of chronic kidney disease CKD was defined by criteria set by National Kidney Foundation. Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative for diagnosing CKD. Results: During study period 155 patients were considered for present study. Male patients (69.68%) outnumbered female (30.32%) and male to female ratio was 2.3:1. Mean age of study patients was 48.1 ± 10.93 years. Majority of patients were from 40-59 years (43.23 %) age group involved was, followed by ≥60 years (37.42 %) age group. Presenting complaints noted were dyspnea (70.97 %), oliguria (66.45 %), GI symptoms (64.52 %), volume overload (59.35 %), neuromuscular (38.06 %) and pruritus (2.58 %). Other factors were smoking (27.10 %), alcohol (14.84 %), Tobacco chewing (10.32 %), NSAID use (6.45 %) and use of herbominerals (2.58 %). Major pre-existing co-morbidities were hypertension (52.26 %), anemia (42.58 %), diabetes (30.97 %), hyperlipidemic disease (21.94 %) and coronary artery disease (9.68 %). 20 % patients had no major medical co-morbidity present. Etiology for CKD noted in present study were hypertensive nephropathy (45.16 %), chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) (32.90 %), diabetic nephropathy (14.84 %), obstructive uropathy (2.58 %), unknown (1.94 %), tubulo-interstitial disease (1.29 %) and ADPKD (1.29 %), Renal function has been noted in present study was 00 %, 36.77 %, 32.90 %, 18.71 % and 11.61 % patients of stage 1,2,3,4 and 5 respectively, according to the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative guidelines. Conclusion: Chronic kidney disease is a serious condition, requiring proper medical attention. Periodic screening is must in patients with one or more co-morbid conditions (e.g. hypertension, diabetes mellitus, etc. ) so as to prevent CKD.

Pediatric intubation requires certain unique set of additional skills compared to intubating adults. The challenges of successfully intubation of a child increases as the age and size of the child decrease and are compounded when airway difficulties arise for various reasons. Often in the rural setting, such procedures may have to be carried out by health care personnel who get trained on-the-job, and in the absence of adequate technological back-up. This leads to an increased incidence of failed intubations which can have devastating complications, especially in the pediatric age group. We describe a simple technique which helped us while intubate a 40-day old infant, without any major catastrophes. Keywords: airway management; infant; newborn; intubation; endotracheal.
