Filter by:The aims of our study were to evaluate the clinical anesthetic parameters of the intraseptal anesthesia (ISA), achieved by computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery system CCLADS, for scaling and root planing, as a primary outcome of the study. In addition, as secondary outcome of the study the impact of destruction of the periodontal supporting tissues on clinical anesthetic parameters of the ISA achieved by 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine, using CCLAD system.
This study evaluates the analgesia induced by suprascapular nerve block in comparison to interscalene nerve block in arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs. The experimental and the control group will receive the suprascapular nerve block and interscalene nerve block, respectively.
The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is to assess the use of liposomal bupivacaine in major extremity amputation and its effects on post-operative opioid narcotic use, length of stay, and in-hospital costs. Liposomal bupivacaine is an encapsulated, injectable amide anesthetic intended for use in long-acting local anesthesia. It has been shown in randomized trials to be effective in reducing post-operative pain while reducing opioid narcotic use and length of hospital stay following several surgical procedures, particularly after total knee arthroplasty. Extremity amputation is a painful operation often performed in seriously ill or debilitated patients, often related to infection, trauma or malignancy. Application of liposomal bupivacaine in extremity amputation is not well described. The investigators intend to enroll adults greater than age 18 years of age who are to undergo major extremity amputation. Patients will receive targeted injections of liposomal bupivacaine during their procedure. Patient pain scores, total opioid use, and length of hospital stay will be tracked. Patients receiving liposomal bupivicaine will be compared to similarly matched subjects who received standard anesthesia regimens without liposomal bupivicaine. The investigators hypothesize that liposomal bupivicaine used during major amputation decreases opioid use, hospital stay, and in-hospital costs.
An ultrasound-guided infraclavicular block performed with the costoclavicular (CC) approach and the lateral sagittal (LS) approach will be compared in patients scheduled for forearm and hand surgery.
Transsphenoidal surgery is considered safe and effective and is currently the procedure of choice for the removal of intrasellar lesions. Direct transnasal access to the sphenoid sinus, without the need for detachment of the nasal septum, provides less postoperative morbidity compared to traditional methods. Sphenopalatine ganglion block is known for its efficacy in otorhinolaryngological surgeries in which the sinuses are approached by transnasal endoscopy, as an important part of postoperative analgesia. However, in a neurosurgical environment, specifically in the treatment of tumors of the sella turcica, the use of the blockade of the referred ganglion to produce postoperative analgesia has been used in a scarce way in the literature. The primary objective of the study is to verify whether blocking the sphenopalatine nerve ganglion in the nasopharynx posterior wall provides better postoperative pain control in surgeries with nasal access for transsphenoidal approach, compared to the placebo group. As secondary objectives, the investigators will observe the consumption of opioids in the intraoperative period, in addition to the incidence of nausea, vomiting and postoperative headache also within 24 hours. Forty patients with physical status P1, P2 or P3 will be prospectively analyzed by the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) to undergo microsurgery for tumors with a sellar and / or suprasellar location, with transsphenoidal access, in patients with an age range between 18 and 64 years old, including men and women.
In the proposed study, a bilateral erector spinae plane (ESP) block [10 ml 1%lidocaine + 10 ml 0.5 % bupivacaine vs normal saline (NS)] will be performed preoperatively to patients undergoing open radical prostatectomy. Analgesic efficacy will be assessed on the numeric rating scale (NRS) along with intra- and 24 h post-operative narcotic consumption.
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of serum ropivacaine concentrations following erector spinae plane peripheral nerve blocks in the pediatric population. Secondary outcomes will assess the efficacy of the block with perioperative morphine equivalent consumption and pain scores.
The aim of the herein presented double-blinded is to compare the effectiveness of the high foot block against placebo infiltration in simple, uni- and bimalleolar ankle fractures. Included will be all adult patients (>18a) treated surgically at our department. The standard peri-operative procedure at our clinic will no be altered but the additional high ankle block. The intraoperative opioid requirement, the Visual Analogue Scale for Pain (VAS) and the postoperative opioid requirement will be assessed and compared between the two groups
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful orthopedic procedures to effectively relieve pain and restore function in patients with hip osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis of femoral head and hip fracture.The Lumbar Plexus Block (LPB) is currently used as the standard regional anesthesia technique to provide postoperative pain management after THA. The lumbar plexus (LP) originates from T12 to L5. In general, multiple-needle nerve blockade procedure is needed to block different branches of LP. Therefore, we need more time to finish the regional anethesia procedure and it's not easy for an inexperienced anesthesiologist to master the technique absolutely. In addition, multiple injections will increase the discomfort of the patients. We aim to investigate the effects of lumbar plexus combined with quadratus lumborum block using single-needle technique with Shamrock method as an alternative regional anesthesia.
Acute and chronic postoperative pain remains a major concern following thoracoscopic surgery. Firstly because pain constitutes a serious concern for patients after surgery, and secondarily because an ineffective control of pain may lead to postoperative morbidity, especially in lung cancer surgery. To date, several procedures have been described but the best modality of locoregional analgesia for thoracoscopic surgery has not been assessed yet. The main objective of this study is to evaluate efficiency of several validated approaches for preoperative locoregional analgesia, comparing serratus plain block versus paravertebral block versus serratus plain block and paravertebral block for postoperative pain following thoracoscopic surgery. To this end, the investigators will conduct an interventional prospective monocentric, double blind, compared and randomized study. Previously to thoracoscopic surgery, patients will be randomized in one of the three following arms: serratus plain block, paravertebral block or serratus plain block and paravertebral block combined.
