Filter by:Minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery is often associated with chronic pain syndrome, out of keeping with the extent of surgical dissection. This is thought to be because of damage to the intercostal nerves by compression and traction by the surgical equipment. Cryoanalgesia is long-standing technique that freezes nerves locally to temporarily block pain sensation, which is currently used to treat acute post-operative pain in lung dissections and the Nuss procedure. We intend to perform a trial to assess whether using cryoanalgesia on intercostal nerves intraoperatively, reduces post-operative pain following minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery.
Opioid addiction in post-operative patients is recognized but not fully understood; therefore, in order to address this growing crisis, it is essential to explore alternative approaches to managing pain and apply them to the surgical population. One potential non-opioid method of pain relief is the use of the nCAP Nano Patch, placed topically on the site of pain. The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of the nCAP Signal Relief Patch in reducing the perioperative opioid requirement in patients undergoing primary unilateral total hip or knee replacement surgery.
Previously, the study team evaluated the implementation and effectiveness of the Johns Hopkins Perioperative Pain Program (PPP), which coordinates continuum of care for surgical patients on chronic opioid therapy throughout the perioperative period. Based on the findings of that project, the study team developed an educational intervention intended to improve patient engagement in perioperative pain management. In this project, the study team will formally implement a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention developed.
In this study, our aim is to examine orthopedic interventions, anesthesia method, postoperative pain level and management applied to patients with CP in biruni university hospital.
Aim of this study is to compare post-operative analgesic efficacy of continuous epidural analgesia versus ultrasound guided continuous femoral nerve block and adductor nerve block after unilateral total knee replacement using 0.125% bupivacaine.
The purpose of this study is to define the role of preemptive systemic analgesia in combination with regional anesthetic techniques on postoperative pain following upper limb surgery in different subgroups of patients with different psychosocial and psychophysical characteristics.
The quadratus lumborum (QL) block is a fascial plane block that has been described to provide analgesia from T7-L3 dermatomes. The investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy of QL blocks in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Effect of caudal nalbuphine on postoperative emergence agitation in pediatrics undergoing infra-umbilical surgeries and pain assessment
Effective Postoperative pain management following laparotomy represents a cornerstone in the care of surgical patients. With the growing utilization of Enhanced recovery after surgery protocols (ERAS), a paradigm shift in perioperative care has resulted in reduction of both hospital stay and clinical complications faced by patients. One important component of successful implementation of ERAS protocol is optimized pain control. It has been shown that opioids have a considerable role in reducing bowel motility in addition; it hinders early mobilization and enteral feeding besides their commonly faced side effects such as nausea and vomiting. Consequently, ERAS programs encourage the usage of multimodal opioid sparing analgesia which includes neuraxial or regional anesthesia techniques to provide effective pain relief while reducing the opioid related side effects. [1] Regional blocks have remained popular with evidence of superior postoperative pain control when compared with systemic analgesics. Regional anaesthesia techniques have undergone considerable refinement with the advent of ultrasound guidance. Ultrasound visualization of anatomical structures increases both the safety and quality of regional blocks through optimal needle placement. Ultrasound-guided rectus sheath (RS) blocks are an emerging anaesthetic technique providing excellent analgesia after laparotomy. The anatomic characteristics of this block suggest minimal serious complications are likely, and this regional block is particularly useful where epidural is contraindicated
In this retrospective cohort study, we assess the relationship between the intensity of early postoperative pain and the risk of infectious- and non-infectious complications within 30 days after major abdominal surgery.
