Filter by:Peripheral nerve blocks can be conducted with ultrasound, electrical nerve stimulation or landmark technique or a combination of this techniques. Whether a regional block should be conducted with a combination of those different possibilities is highly discussed. In this study the investigators want to show the effectiveness of new standard way of combined use of ultrasound and nerve stimulation, they call protective nerve stimulation. According to ethical vote we are conducting an observational study.
A randomized, open label, controlled, parallel group study to investigate difference between regional standard procedure and a novel modified procedure (using an additional novel device to facilitate gel installation) for changing long-term indwelling urinary catheters.
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is any significant difference between using a short-term ON-Q nerve block (which is applied prior to surgery and maintained in place until the medication in the initial balls have been fully used, usually 2-4 days) in comparison to a long-term ON-Q nerve block (which is applied prior to surgery and maintained in place up to seven days after surgery). This study will analyze patient reported levels of pain, range of motion, and narcotic use, as well as investigate whether blood loss, blood thinners, and hemoglobin/hematocrit blood levels influence patient pain levels. This study will compare patient-reported pain, range of motion and narcotic use in total knee arthroplasty patients who receive the short-term and long-term combination nerve block (saphenous and posterior of the adductor canal and wide-field posterior knee.
We assessed the visibility of peripheral nerves while ultrasound guided blockades with a novel scoring system to evaluate differences in visibility of different nerves.
Making sure the heart rate and or the blood pressure [called hemodynamic instability] during surgery is stable, setting up for a rapid postoperative recovery, and ensuring that patients have adequate pain relief are some of the important goals of neurosurgical anesthesia. Scalp block anesthesia [injection of a numbing agent into the area of the scalp where the incision will be] together with general anesthesia is used to achieve these goals. There has been some research on whether or not scalp block improves patient recovery and pain management, but the studies have not be large enough to say for certain. This is true even though scalp block is used with almost every patient that is having brain surgery. The investigators propose to determine if scalp block in combination with asleep anesthesia is better than asleep anesthesia alone in patients who are having brain surgery for tumors in the cerebral area of the brain.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of preoperative Diclofenac Potassium (50 mg Cataflam) on the anesthetic success of buccal infiltration with 4% articaine with epinephrine 1:200,000 in mandibular molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
The literature concerning the success and pain scores of PDL injection technique compared with other techniques remains controversial; whereas some studies found no significant difference in pain scores between local infiltration and PDL injection, other older studies found that pain during administration of PDL injection was described by the majority of patients either as greater than local infiltration6, or as negligible or as a less painful injection compared with other injection techniques. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of and patients' subjective responses to the PDL injection technique as compared to the traditional infiltration injection, for the non-surgical extraction of one posterior maxillary permanent tooth.
Patients who have mandibular deformity and will undergo bilateral sagittal split osteotomy will be included in the study.One side of the osteotomies randomly will be considered as study group and another side as a control group.In the study group , platelet rich fibrin will be placed after osteotomy and before rigid fixation.In the control group, fixation will be done without Platelet-rich Fibrin (PRF).Neurosensory disturbance will be evaluated 6 and 12 months after surgeries.
A randomized controlled trial to determine if pre- and post- operative regional pain control (transversus abdominis plane block) with ropivacaine versus placebo leads to lower anesthetic and narcotic dosing, and alters pain scores. This study plans to learn more about regional anesthesia and pain control during abdominal surgery. The study will gather data about the effectiveness of continuous catheter infusion of local anesthetic after an abdominal operation. Outcomes include pain scores, IV pain medicine requirements, and delirium.
The purpose of this study is to investigate and describe the anatomical differences in distribution of the blocked area following a perineural LFCN (Lateral Femoris Cutaneous Nerve) block with either 8 ml or 16 ml of Ropivacaine, in relation to incision lines used in THA (Total Hip Arthroplasty). Furthermore, we examine any loss of motor function in Musculus Quadriceps due to posible involvement of the Femoral Nerve. This trial will be conducted in healthy volunteers, as a blinded, randomized, paired trial.
