Representative image NEW DELHI: A commonly used spinal anaesthesia drug has come under scrutiny after the Indian Society of Anaesthesiologists (ISA) advised doctors across the country to immediately stop using Themis-manufactured bupivacaine following reports of serious adverse events.In an urgent advisory issued on Monday, the ISA asked anaesthesiologists nationwide not to use bupivacaine manufactured by Themis for spinal anaesthesia or any other purpose until further notice, saying the precautionary measure had been taken in the interest of patient safety while investigations are underway.Bupivacaine is among the most commonly used local anaesthetics for spinal and epidural anaesthesia during surgeries. The ISA said the advisory followed reports of serious adverse events linked to the Themis-manufactured drug, but did not disclose the number or nature of the events. Investigations are continuing.Hospitals have also been advised to identify and segregate existing stocks of the drug, withdraw them from clinical use and switch to alternative approved brands for spinal anaesthesia procedures.A separate caution notice issued by the ISA’s Hyderabad Metro City Branch directed consultants, resident doctors, anaesthesia technicians and operation theatre personnel to immediately suspend the use of Themis Bupivacaine for spinal anaesthesia. It said no ampoules of the product should be used for neuraxial administration until an official clearance is issued, and any inadvertent use must be reported immediately to the head of the department.”This is a precautionary advisory issued in the interest of patient safety. Reports of serious adverse events have been received from multiple hospitals, and until the investigation is completed, we have advised doctors to stop using the product,” said Dr Sherry Mathews, president of the Hyderabad Metro City Branch of the Indian Society of Anaesthesiologists.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Image source: CJP website Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke on Monday announced that he will return to India on June 6 to launch a peaceful protest seeking the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over examination-related lapses.In a video posted on X and Instagram, Dipke called on supporters and students to join him in Delhi. “The time has come for all of us to come together, following the path of the Constitution of India, and peacefully raise our voices to demand Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation. If we raise our voices together, they will definitely have to listen to us,” he said.Dipke linked his demand to what he described as repeated failures in the country’s examination system, citing controversies surrounding NEET, CBSE, CUET and SSCGD.”Today, NEET’s 22 lakh students, CBSE’s 17 lakh students, CUET’s 16 lakh students and SSCGD’s 40 lakh students — more than 1 crore students whose lives have been mocked by the system. Because of this, students are very anxious and worried about their future. Someone has to take responsibility for this,” he said.”Even after such a big blunder, if the Education Minister doesn’t resign, it means that there is no accountability left in this country. It seems that the system can make as many mistakes as it wants and there are no consequences for that. All the consequences are for the students.”Dipke urged supporters to join him at the airport on June 6. “I have decided that I will come to Delhi on Saturday morning, June 6. Please join me at the airport and together we will go to the Parliament Street police station to ask for permission to hold a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar.”He said the movement would remain non-violent and would focus on raising concerns through democratic channels rather than confrontation.”India’s Constitution gives us the right to raise our voice against wrongdoings peacefully. According to that Constitution, we will raise our voice,” he said.Addressing concerns about his return, Dipke said his family members, particularly his parents, were worried that he could face legal action or be arrested after landing in the country. Despite those concerns, he said he remained committed to returning and hoped authorities would allow the protest to proceed peacefully in accordance with democratic norms.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
