Here, we retrospectively analyzed the proportion of intravenous patient controlled analgesia (PCA) used in a large tertiary hospital in central China, and then further analyzed the proportion of patients with postoperative pain after standardized pain treatment and the incidence of adverse effects. It aims to answer are: 1. The incidence of poor postoperative analgesia and adverse effects of patients with different types of surgery after standardized postoperative pain management of TJ-APS team; 2. It would provide reference for improving the quality of postoperative acute pain management. In addition, it supplements the Chinese data on the incidence of poor postoperative analgesia and adverse effects of patients under the APS standardized postoperative analgesia process.
Pain relief interventions in invasive interventions are divided into two pharmacologic methods and non-pharmacologic methods. Nonpharmacologic interventions are an area where nurses can easily demonstrate their independent roles. Especially today, when the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) methods is increasing, nurses are also turning to these methods. Non-pharmacological methods include listening to white noise, non-nutritive sucking, aromatherapy applications, placing the baby on the mother's lap, changing position, rocking, touching, distracting, listening to music, watching cartoons, singing, breastfeeding and giving sucrose solution with breast milk, giving toys and smelling mother odour. This study was planned to determine the effect of the therapeutic toy used during IV catheter placement, which is the most common invasive intervention in the Neonatal Care Unit where a newborn baby is hospitalized, on the comfort level, crying time and physiological parameters of the newborn.
In this study, the investigators will compare two different anesthetic solutions in the infraclavicular block in patients having forearm, wrist, and hand surgery. The solutions will be bupivacaine 0.5% versus bupivacaine 0.25% plus lidocaine 1%, both associated with epinephrine 5 mcg/ml and dexamethasone 4 mg. The main objective of this investigation is to demonstrate that using higher concentrations of bupivacaine alone results in a significant block duration increase compared with the mixture of bupivacaine and lidocaine.
This research is a randomized controlled experimental study designed to determine the effect of the Quantum-Touch method applied during the vascular access procedure in children aged 7-12 years, on the level of pain, fear and anxiety in children.
This randomized controlled study was planned to evaluate the effects of distraction methods, using virtual reality or a stress ball, on the emotional appearance, pain, fear, and anxiety associated with the procedure, during the phlebotomy in children aged 6-12 in a private blood collection unit.
All patients with acute lesions that attend the orthopedic and trauma center of the ABC medical center are invited to participate in the study. Those that meet the inclusion criteria and later sign an informed consent are randomized to receive 10 ml of a solution with ropivacaine at 7.5% and 2.0% intraarticular for the first 5 minutes after the end of surgery (closing of surgical wounds). Both the patient, the physician who applies it and the evaluator of outcomes remain blinded to the dose of ropivacaine the patient receives. Two hours after the end of the surgery, while the patient is in his room, the presence of pain is evaluated by a visual analog scale (VAS), while the patient is asked to flex and extend his knee. The result is quantified continuously, to later categorize the pain in none to slight pain (0-3 points) and moderate-severe pain (4-10 points). All the information is recorded on established forms in the clinical file (general data), that includes the variables of interest for the study, and is reported by the physicians after standardization of all those in charge with collecting information to comply with the conceptual and operative operationalization of the variables described in the research protocol. In addition to the evaluation of pain, the administration of opioids to patients for necessary reasons (presence of pain) by the physicians in charge is recorded. It is hoped that, in patients with knee arthroscopy for acute lesion, there is a difference in the frequency of moderate-severe pain of 30% in the post-operative (frequency of 37.5% in patients with ropivacaine at 2% and frequency of 7.5% in patients with ropivacaine at 7.5%).
This trial examined how the administration of exogenous testosterone would influence pain tolerance and other endogenous steroids (i.e. estradiol and progesterone).
The aim of this study was to investigate whether exercise-induced hypoalgesia (EIH) is present following exercise in patient after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and if so, if it changes with exercise intensity. A repeated measures and single-blinded randomized study were done. Thirty-eight patients 24 hours after TKA were randomly assigned to either low intensity exercises (LIE) group or high intensity exercises (HIE) group. An exercise programs lasted for five days during the hospitalization period. Pain severity was assessed by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (0-10 mm). Pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) were measured over quadriceps and biceps brachii and muscles immediately before and after exercise.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to examine the effect of ultrasound guided bilateral Parasternal Nerve Block combined with rectus sheath block on preoperative analgesia, opioid consumption and respiratory function in patients undergoing cardiac surgery via sternotomy. Half of participants will receive General Anesthesia combined with bilateral parasternal block and rectus sheath block while the other half receive General Anesthesia combined with bilateral parasternal block and infiltration of drainage exits sites with local anesthetic (without performing rectus sheath block)
