Filter by:The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a novel regional analgesic technique that provides pain relief with a peripheral nerve block catheter. The goal of this study is to see if bilateral ESPB catheters can improve clinical outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery via sternotomy, such as decreasing the duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation, need for intravenous opioid medications, length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU), and improving pain scores.
This study evaluates analgesic effects of ultrasound-guided (USG) regional anesthetic techniques; caudal block , transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and quadratus lumborum block (QLB) by comparing postoperative pain scores [ Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolabilty(FLACC) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)], first analgesic requirement time and total analgesic consumption in pediatrics undergoing lower abdominal surgery. We also aim to observe the side effects of these techniques such as nausea, vomiting, bradycardia, hypotension, respiratory depression.
Dental Fear and Anxiety (DFA) are at higher levels among children and often leads to avoidance of dental treatment. Negative experiences in the early years such as experience of pain during injections, fillings, or extractions may lead to difficulties in treatment and behavior management among children. During dental procedures such as restorations and extractions injectable anesthetics are required as they are used to anesthetize and numb the area around the tooth receiving treatment. Topical anesthetics are used prior to using injectable anesthetic to alleviate some pain and discomfort. Topical anesthetics should be used with caution as they consist of more concentrated doses of pharmaceutical elements used in injectable anesthetics. Such high concentrations can result in increased gag reflux, central nervous system depression and cardiovascular effects in rare cases. With many recent advances in dental treatment, there is also a need for new non-pharmaceutical strategies to alleviate pain and discomfort among children which in turn will motivate children and their parents to visit the dental clinic more frequently. Electronic anesthesia or Synapse Transcutaneous Electronic Nerve Stimulation (TENS), a non-invasive device that uses low energy electrical stimulation to reduce pain perception, has gained acceptance since the 1990s. Advantages of using the TENS device are that it is safe, easy to use, well-accepted among patients as evidenced in the few trials conducted so far, no adverse complications and has been successful in alleviating pain during dental procedures. This study aims to explore use of the TENS to alleviate pain and discomfort at the oral mucosal site where the patient will receive a local anesthetic injection. In this randomized case-crossover trial among children aged 6-14 years the effectiveness of Aleve TENS device in reducing pain and anxiety among children prior to receiving injectable local anesthetic agent during dental procedures is compared to those who receive the local anesthetic gel prior to receiving local anesthetic injection.
Spinal anesthesia is one of the preferred anesthetic techniques for post-partum bilateral tubal ligation (PBTL). Bupivacaine is the most commonly used local anesthetic for neuraxial anesthesia for post-partum tubal ligation. Typically, hyperbaric bupivacaine would be injected into the spinal (intrathecal) space via a spinal needle; however, ongoing medication shortages have resulted in limited availability on a local and national level. One proposed alternative is isobaric bupivacaine; however, studies investigating its use for post-partum bilateral tubal ligation are limited. The purpose of this prospective study is to determine the minimal effective dose (ED50 and ED95) of isobaric bupivacaine for adequate anesthesia during post-partum tubal ligation after vaginal delivery.
By means of an observer-blinded, randomized controlled trial, the analgesic efficacy of an upper-arm Bier's block and a forearm mini-Bier's block will be investigated in patients undergoing hand surgery. The hypothesis is that there is no difference between the two types of anesthetic techniques with respect to the analgesic efficacy.
Regional tissue oxygenation saturation has been shown to increase in innervated regions after sympathetic block. The aim of this prospective observational study was to evaluate the changes of regional tissue oxygenation saturation by near-infrared spectroscopy after successful femoral nerve block with ropivacaine and determine whether the changes of regional tissue oxygenation saturation can be affected by the concentration of ropivacaine.
Severe perioperative pain experienced after surgical procedures performed by flank incision is mainly related to incision of many muscles. Postoperative pain affects patient comfort, satisfaction, prolongs the duration of hospital stay and increases post-procedure complications. This study is designed to compare the success rate of Unilateral Ultrasound Guided Transmuscular Quadratus Lumborum Block with Unilateral posterior Ultrasound Guided TransversusAbdominus Plane block in providing perioperative analgesia in Patients undergoing Flank Incision surgeries in the Urosurgery Theater at KasrAlainy University Hospitals.
Oraverse © (Phentolamine mesylate) is a product designed to reverse the effect of local anesthetics used in dentistry. Its main objective is to reduce the postoperative period during which the patient suffers from the lack of sensitivity in the perioral soft tissues, it is an obvious discomfort, a difficulty to speak or eat, and sometimes a risk of self-injury in the lips and / or tongue . The product was approved by the FDA in 2008 although the introduction in Spain has not occurred until December 2015. There are numerous studies that support its use, its effectiveness and safety, although none of the Spanish population, who have not yet had the opportunity to experience it.
Background: This study aims to obtain the most favorable syringe and needle combination, which causes the least pain during local anesthesia tumescent injection in the simulation of fully awake hand surgery. Methods: A randomized single-blinded controlled trial is designed for 30 adult male healthy subjects to compare the pain from injection using syringe and needle combination i.e. 1) 1 cc syringe with 26G needle, 2) 3 cc syringe with 26 G needle, and 3) 5 cc needle with 26 G needle. The injection will be performed in any of at the second, third and fourth fingers of either subject's hand randomly. The injection will be SIMPLE block technique using 1 cc of NaCl 0.9% solution under the injection speed of 30 seconds/cc. Subjects are required to rate two check-point of VAS at the timing of needle puncture and just right after the completion of the infiltration. Upon the completion of each finger, the subject is also asked to give response to seri of questions regarding the procedures and their preferences. At the end of all injections, subject is asked to rate his preference of syringe and needle combination.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cooling anesthesia application to the eye as anesthesia for intravitreal injection using a novel cooling anesthesia device and determine the effects of temperature and duration of application on subjective pain after intravitreal injection.
