Filter by:The aim of this prospective clinical study is to compare the effectiveness of dexamethasone and magnesium sulfate added as adjuvants to bupivacaine in infraclavicular brachial plexus block used under ultrasound guidance for upper extremity surgeries.
The study aims to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and safety of addition of 1µg/kg dexmedetomidine to 20ml bupivacaine compared to 20ml and 30ml bupivacaine without additives in ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block for anesthesia.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to test the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial that will examine the use of ropivacaine in the spinal anesthesia for patients undergoing elective 1- or 2-level lower spine surgery. This study aims to: - Determine the rates of eligibility, recruitment, consent, and attrition - Determine the acceptability among patients, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and nurses of doing spine surgery under spinal anesthesia - Gather preliminary data on outcomes relevant to a future dose-finding study Participants will be randomized to one of three treatment groups: - General anesthesia with endotracheal tube - Spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine - Spinal anesthesia with ropivacaine
The aim of this study is to compare Surgical Transversus abdominis plane block and Ultrasound guided transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) as a postoperative analgesic regimen in female patients undergoing elective cesarean delivery.
This study aims to compare Laparoscopic assisted LTAP (Transversus Abdominis Plane) to standard port-site infiltration in terms of post-operative visual analogue scores (VAS) for pain at 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours following laparoscopic appendicectomy Tap Block is a standard conventional analgesia protocol for laparoscopic appendicitis used in Beaumont Hospital, and other hospitals throughout Ireland. The medicinal product for both groups is the same - Bupivacaine. The mode of administration is what this study is reviewing: Control group (Standard port site infiltration) and Study Group - Laparoscopic Transversus Abdominis Plane Block
Brachial plexus block is a regional anaesthesia technique employed as a safe and valuable alternative to general anaesthesia for upper limb surgery. In recent practices of day care surgeries, brachial plexus block seems to be a better alternative to general anesthesia with minimal hospital stay and better analgesic effect. Among several techniques of brachial plexus block, supraclavicular approach is considered as easiest, effective and can be performed much more quickly than other approaches. Various local anaesthetic agents and adjuvants are used for this purpose. Among them, bupivacaine has been the most widely used long-acting local anaesthetic agent. Combining local anesthetics with different adjuncts can prolong the duration of analgesia associated with brachial plexus block. Among various adjuncts, dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine have been identified as clinically effective adjuncts. Several metaanalyses have convincingly demonstrated their efficacy in prolonging the analgesic duration of brachial plexus block. However, there has been limited research conducted to compare the effects of dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine added as adjuvants to the local anesthetics for BPB. Studies have demonstrated benefits of one agent over other without any definitive conclusion as which is the best agent for this purpose. Therefore, there is a need of study to compare the onset and duration of bupivacaine when dexmedetomidine or dexamethasone is used as an adjuvant to bupivacaine for ultrasound-guided supraclavicular BPB
The study will be carried on children undergoing lower abdominal surgeries. Patients will be randomly categorized into two study groups. Group A will include patients who will receive bupivacaine intrathecal injection without adjuvant. Group B will include patients who will receive bupivacaine and preservative-free midazolam.
Abdominal wall blocks are frequently used as part of multimodal analgesia for pain control after abdominal surgery. There are studies using the Transversus Abdominis Plane Block for postoperative pain control in laparoscopic cholecystectomies. In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the advantages of these two methods by applying the Transversus Abdominis Plan Block for postoperative pain control after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the help of postoperative USG and laparoscopy during surgery.In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the advantages of these two methods by applying the Transversus Abdominis Plan Block for postoperative pain control after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the help of postoperative USG and LAPAROSCOPY during surgery.
Mohs surgery is a very effective option in removing non-melanoma skin cancers, as the tissue being removed is analyzed the same day. If there are remnants of cancer cells in the tissue removed, the Mohs surgeon will go back and remove further tissue and repair the surgical wound all within the same day. Unfortunately, postoperative pain is quite prevalent among patients requiring Mohs procedures, as up to 52% require an additional oral pain medication. Lidocaine is the most commonly used anesthetic used in Mohs given its rapid onset of action. However, the duration of lidocaine's effect is much shorter than bupivacaine, which may translate into increased postoperative pain. To date, there are no specific studies comparing bupivacaine alone, lidocaine alone or both in conjunction in Mohs procedures. The investigators predict bupivacaine alone and bupivacaine used in conjunction with lidocaine are more effective in managing pain during Mohs surgery than lidocaine alone. To test our hypothesis, the investigators plan to have 105 patients receive either lidocaine alone, bupivacaine alone, or lidocaine and bupivacaine in conjunction during their Mohs procedure. Pain will be evaluated at various time points throughout the surgery.
In this study, the primary objective was to estimate the minimum effective volume of bupivacaine 0.5% resulting in successful block in 90% of patients (MEV90) for ultrasound-guided retroclavicular approach to infraclavicular brachial plexus block.
