Filter by:40 patients ASA I-III, undergoing total knee arthroplasty were randomly assigned, into one of two groups, namely group LIA (n=20), where local infiltration analgesia would be administered intraoperatively; and group sham LIA (n=20), where sham injections of normal saline would be administered. All patients received a standardized multimodal approach, including pregabalin, adductor canal peripheral nervous blockade, spinal anaesthesia, paracetamol, and PCA with morphine. Morphine consumption during the first 24 hours postoperatively was measured and additionally the investigators recorded: Time of morphine first dose administration, NRS scores in static and dynamic conditions in 6 hours, 12 hours, 18 hours and 24 hours postoperatively, complications, patient satisfaction and duration of hospitalization.
Cesarean section commonly induces moderate to severe pain for 48 hours. These patients have additional compelling reasons to provide adequate pain relief as early mobilization is a key factor to prevent the risk of thromboembolic event which is increased during pregnancy. Beside these, patients need to be pain free to takecare for their newborn and breastfeed them. Poorly controlled pain after cesarean section also increases risk of chronic pain and postpartum depression. Intrathecal morphine is considered the "gold standard" for postoperative pain relief after cesarean delivery. The duration of analgesic effect of morphine extend to 12-24 hours. Its widespread use is due to its favorable pharmacokinetic profile, ease of administration and low cost. Although intrathecal morphine is highly effective, its use is associated with undesirable adverse effect particularly nausea, vomiting and pruritus which reduce overall patients' satisfaction. More serious complication is the risk of delayed maternal respiratory depression. The Quadratus Lumborum block was first described in 2007 which demonstrates a spread to the paravertebral space, thus leads to a more extensive block to T5-L1 nerve branches and a long lasting block with the potential to provide visceral pain relief. Therefore, this block has an evolving role in postoperative analgesia for many lower abdominal surgeries. As the safety is concerned, there has been one report of a patient with unilateral hip flexion and knee extension weakness leading to unplanned overnight admission following lateral quadratus lumborum block after laparoscopic gynaecological operation. If the result favors effective, it will have the advantage of a combination with intrathecal opioid to prolong the pain free period after cesarean section which has about 4,000 cases per year.
This study aims to assess consequences and causes of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis for ambulatory arthroscopic shoulder surgery in patients with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m².
Sleep disturbances frequently occur in elderly patients after major surgery; and their occurrence are associated with worse outcomes including increased incidence of delirium. Previous studies showed that, for elderly patients admitted to the ICU after non-cardiac surgery, low-dose dexmedetomidine infusion improved to some degree the quality of sleep and reduced the incidence of delirium. The investigators hypothesize that, for elderly patients after major non-cardiac surgery, dexmedetomidine supplemented analgesia can also improve the sleep quality. The purpose of this randomized controlled pilot study is to investigate the impact of dexmedetomidine supplemented analgesia on the sleep quality in elderly patients after major non-cardiac surgery.
The aim of the study is to compare the analgesia provided by the serratus plane block with local infiltration of the orifices of the trocars after thoracic robot-assisted surgery.
A randomised prospective trial comparing the efficacy of pethidine, Ketorolac, and Xylocaine gel as analgesics for pain control in shockwave lithotripsy.
Delirium is a frequently occurred cerebral complication in elderly patients after surgery, and its occurrence is associated with worse outcomes. Sleep disturbances is considered to be one of the most important risk factors of postoperative delirium. Previous studies showed that, for elderly patients admitted to the ICU after surgery, low-dose dexmedetomidine infusion improved the quality of sleep and decreased the incidence of delirium. The investigators hypothesize that, for elderly patients after cancer surgery, dexmedetomidine supplemented analgesia can also decrease the incidence of delirium, possibly by improving sleep quality. The purpose of this multicenter, randomized controlled trial is to investigate the impact of dexmedetomidine supplemented analgesia on the incidence of delirium in elderly patients after cancer surgery.
A high incidence of respiratory morbidity after adenotonsillectomy is reported in children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). So we designed a prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled study to determine the effects of individualized opioid analgesia compared with conventional opioid analgesia on respiratory morbidity after adenotonsillectomy in Children with OSAS.
Circumcision is a commonly performed procedure on newborn males. Clear recommendations and/or guidelines for pain control during the procedure do not exist. The purpose of this research is to compare various forms of analgesia to evaluate which is the more effective for pain reduction. The investigators hope that this study can provide definitive guidelines on the best form of analgesia to use during circumcision. It is important that we perform this study to ensure that in the future newborns' pain during circumcision is effectively managed.
Investigators aimed to evaluate the impact of bupivacaine administration into the surgical field after total thyroidectomy on post-operative pain and analgesic requirement with a double-blind, prospective, clinical, randomized study. Pain assessment was performed with the visual analog score (VAS). Participants were pre-operatively, divided into two groups randomly to receive either bupivacaine or not. One group received a 10 ml of bupivacaine solution while the other group was treated with the same volume of 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) through the drain after completion of total thyroidectomy procedure. All participants were anesthetized and operated with the same anesthesia and surgical team.
