Filter by:Assess impact of increasing dose of dexmedetomidine on total daily dose of fentanyl and propofol while maintaining sedation in a mechanically ventilated patient in a general medical intensive care unit.
The purpose of this study is to determine if enteral naloxone is more effective than a traditional bowel regimen in the prevention and treatment of constipation and impaired gastric motility in critically ill trauma patients.
The aim of the present prospective randomized study was to challenge the ability of SSI to detect painful stimulation during sevoflurane - remifentanil anesthesia.
Aim: To examine a new method to perform local anesthesia in order to diminish the inconvenience by the procedure in patients before performing intubation or oesophagogastroduodenoscopy.
The hypothesis of the study is: Does the Surgical Stress Index (SSI) correlate with the Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS), the Ramsay Sedation Scale (RSS)and/or the Behavioral Pain Scale(BPV) and can therefore be used to monitor the quality of analgosedation in noncommunicative intensive care unit patients?
Patients will receive a single intravenous (IV) infusion administered over 3 minutes of either ORG 28611 (SCH 900111), 0.12 mg/kg morphine sulphate, or placebo, within 6 hours after dental surgery, when they experience moderate to severe dental pain. Patient will then be evaluated with pain assessments at Baseline, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 90 minutes; and 2 through 8 hours or before rescue medication is needed.
Main Hypothesis: laparoscopic surgery is very painful to patient during and after surgery. We would like to compare different analgesic methods.
Epidurally administered Depodur provides equal or superior analgesia as an epidural infusion of fentanyl for the first 48 hours after a cesarean section.
Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a painful procedure that often becomes necessary in the care of preterm infants under CPAP therapy several times a day. Since the use of analgetic and sedative drugs is accompanied with multiple side effects these are usually being avoided. Glucose 20% has been shown to have an analgesic effect when administered to preterm infants previous to some painful procedures (i.e blood sampling). In this clinical trial the efficacy of orally administered Glucose 20% for relieving the procedural pain of nasopharyngeal suctioning is tested. The investigators' study has a cross-over design and is to include 40 patients.
The aim is to ascertain which method out of epidural, spinal or patient controlled analgesia (PCA) is the most appropriate in fluid optimised patients after laparoscopic colorectal surgery in terms of pain control, length of hospital stay and time for gut recovery. The second aim is to assess the physiological changes that occur when the patient is placed in steep trendelenberg position together with the creation of the pneumoperitoneum.
