Filter by:This prospective, international, multicenter observational study will include hospitals performing pediatric surgery in participating Latin American countries. We aim to assess the incidence of hospital postoperative complications in pediatric surgical patients < 18-years-old in Latin America. We will recruit all consecutive pediatric patients under the age of 18 years who were admitted to participating hospitals undergoing elective and nonelective surgery. The primary outcome is in-hospital postoperative complications up to 30 days after surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if caudal dexmedetomidine can provide effective analgesia during inguinoscrotal surgeries in pediatrics, if used caudally alone (and not as an adjunct to caudal bupivacaine). The main question it aims to answer is: - Can caudal dexmedetomidine provide effective analgesia? Participants will be pediatrics aged from 1 to 6 years ASA-I and ASA-II undergoing inguinoscrotal surgeries. - A total of 50 pediatric patients who will undergo inguinoscrotal surgery will be allocated randomly into 2 equal groups: - Group B (n =25): In this group, and after induction of general anesthesia, pediatric patients will receive a caudal injection of bupivacaine 0.125 % in a dose of 1ml/kg. - Group D (n =25): In this group, and after injection of general anesthesia, pediatric patients will receive a caudal injection of dexmedetomidine in a dose of 1.5 mcg/kg.
Currently, the analgesic standard of care for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) at our centre is intraoperative infiltration with a solution of local anesthetic, morphine (opioid), and ketorolac (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug - NSAID). If a patient has a contraindication for the use of an opioid or NSAIDs, this infiltration is performed with a plain local anesthetic. No blocks (numbing of certain nerves to prevent pain from occurring in that area) are performed for postoperative pain in these patients. The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is a recently described technique with limited data in the literature that has assessed the benefits of using this nerve block for THA procedures. The purpose of this study is to investigate if the ultrasound-guided PENG block can provide non-inferior postoperative analgesia compared to local intraoperative anesthetic infiltration (ILAI) with an associated cost benefit for patients undergoing THA.
The goal of this preliminary prospective and observational study is to use hd-EEG (high density electroencephalogram) to investigate how functional and network markers of consciousness are associated to nociception during general anesthesia. More specifically, the aim of this study is to characterize whole-brain functional connectivity and network changes induced by noxious stimulation, and adapt these findings to a clinically-applicable EEG (electroencephalogram) montage.

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the impact of preoperative focused transthoracic ultrasound (FOCUS) on intraoperative hypotension and postoperative complications in hip fracture surgery. Our hypothesis is that a preoperative FOCUS along with a hemodynamic optimization protocol will reduce the occurrence of intraoperative drops in blood pressure and post-operative complications.
Regional anesthesia is defined as the temporary removal of nerve conduction and pain in certain areas of the body with local anesthetic drugs without causing loss of consciousness. Spinal anesthesia can provide better analgesia and shorter recovery time in urological procedures resulted in shorter operating times, lower postoperative pain, lower analgesic requirements, and shorter length of stay (LOS) compared to the general anesthesia. Lidocaine is an attractive regional anesthesia drug for ambulatory surgery since it has a rapid onset and rapid recovery from motor and sensory block. However, when it is compared with other local anesthetic agents, the use of lidocaine in spinal anesthesia is associated with an increased risk of transient neurologic symptoms, thus impeding its application to outpatient spinal anesthesia. Lidocaine is more neurotoxic than other local anesthetic agents, especially when high concentrations are applied directly to nervous tissue. Another local anesthetic agent can be used is prilocaine. It has medium potency, rapid duration, and rapid onset of action. Compared with lidocaine, prilocaine has a lower incidence of neurological symptoms in spinal anesthesia for outpatient surgery, and suitable as an alternative to long-acting low-dose local anesthetics. Therefore, the investigators intend to observe the efficacy and safety of these two agents in adult patients who will undergo cystoscopy procedure using spinal anesthesia. In this study the investigators used high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) and high-sensitive Troponin (hs-Troponin). CRP is a systemic inflammation marker associated with conditions such as pain. Troponin can represent patient's kidney function since its metabolism and excretion are affected by changes of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Previous study also showed that the use of spinal anesthesia can reduce the incidence of acute kidney injury. Therefore, the investigators aim to carry out further examination of the following two markers regarding to spinal anesthesia using lidocaine and prilocaine.
Robotic arthroplasty is increasing in acceptance on a global scale as a result of advancements in orthopedic surgery technology. The investigators aimed to share their anesthesia management experience as well as compare robotic unilateral total hip arthroplasty with conventional surgical technique in this retrospective study.

Addition of dexamethasone to local anesthetics infiltration has been proven to augment postoperative analgesia, prolongs anesthesia time and sometimes reduces the needed dose of local anesthetics and consequently, decreases their side effects and enhances early ambulation and hospital discharge (mainly due to decreased need for opioid use
