Filter by:This study aimed to evaluate the additive effect of acetaminophen on postoperative pain control in patients receiving nefopam and fentanyl-based patient-controlled analgesia. Participants undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy will be randomly assigned to treatment group or control group. After end of surgery, acetaminophen or normal saline (placebo) will be administered intravenously depending on the group assigned.
The aim of this work is to compare the hemodynamic and analgesic properties of Dexmedetomidine and Magnesium sulphate infusion in lower abdominal surgery.
Prostate cancer is the commonest cancer form in men in Northern Europe. Management of the cancer often includes surgical removal of the primary tumor. In the last 5-10 years, robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) has become common. Good pain relief is central to early mobilization and greater patient satisfaction. Randomized controlled studies on pain relief following RALP are few and the role of spinal analgesia in pain management following robotic surgery has not been described. Techniques available for pain relief following RALP include spinal anesthesia with or without opiates, intravenous analgesia with morphine or a multimodal pain management technique using a combination of several analgesics. Spinal anesthesia and analgesia reduces the surgical stress and inflammatory response following laparoscopic colorectal surgery and may offer similar benefit even during RALP. Early perioperative complications may cause postoperative morbidity following robotic surgery, and sometimes delay home discharge. Since all robotic operations in the pelvic region are performed in a deep Trendelenberg position, this can even have negative consequences for the heart, brain and the lungs. Cardiac complications in the form of minimal cardiac injury or mild heart failure have not been previously studied following RALP. Additionally, patients are sometimes delirious in the early postoperative period following RALP. The precise cause for this remains unclear and may be related to pain, cognitive dysfunction or an urge to pass urine despite a urinary catheter. In addition to good postoperative pain relief, early postoperative mobilization and home discharge are important milestones in recovery of full function following major surgery. With improvement in surgical technique, the time has come to evaluate if RALP can be performed on an ambulatory basis. The main aims of this study are: 1. Can RALP be performed on an ambulatory basis and patients ready to be discharged home at 8 pm? 2. To determine if spinal anesthesia reduces pre-discharge pain intensity, stress response and other perioperative side effects. 3. Is sufentanil or fentanyl the analgesic of choice when administered spinally together with bupivacaine as an analgesic. 4. To determine the frequency and severity of cardiac and respiratory complications in the steep Trendelenberg position during RALP. 5. To assess the quality of recovery, quality of life and activities of daily living following ambulatory RALP?
This is a clinical study that will investigate the occurrence of post-operative discomfort following the use of the Gentlewave System for root canal disinfection and irrigation. Assessment of discomfort level will be via a visualized analog pain scale.
Up to our knowledge there is no study focused upon the incidence of post VATS chronic pain when dexmedetomidine is used.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare ibuprofen versus an ibuprofen/acetaminophen combination for postoperative pain control in patients requiring root canal treatment with a tooth that is painful to cold and biting. Methodology: Following regular root canal treatment, patients randomly received identical appearing tablets of 600 mg ibuprofen or 600 mg ibuprofen/650 mg acetaminophen to be taken every 6 hours as needed for pain. A 4-day diary was used to record pain and medication use.
The aim of this trial is to compare the analgesic efficiency and hemi-diaphragmatic paralysis of the standard ultrasound-guided interscalene (ISB) brachial plexus block with the combined use of costoclavicular approach of infraclavicular brachial plexus block and suprascapular nerve block (ICB-SSB) for patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Authors hypothesize that the combined use of ICB-SSB could lead to equivalent postoperative analgesic effect to the standard ISB with less hemi-diaphragmatic paralysis.
Pediatric cardiac surgery is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain that is related to median sternotomy. In a fast-track protocol, used in modern-day cardiac surgical care, early extubation may be facilitated by effective postoperative pain control, which also helps in maintaining hemodynamic stability This prospective, randomized, and double-blind study is designed to examine the efficacy and safety of the ESP block on the postoperative analgesia in pediatric patients after cardiac surgery. 40 pediatric patients aged 2-10 years, undergoing cardiac surgery with median sternotomy will be enrolled. Children received oral premedication of midazolam 0.5 mg/kg. After i.v. access will be obtained, fentanyl 5 µg/kg will be given. Anesthesia will be induced with 2-3 mg/kg propofol and all children will receive rocuronium 0,6 mg/kg for tracheal intubation.Subsequently, fentanyl 5 µg/kg will be administered prior to incision and an additional 5 microg/kg of fentanyl given prior to CPB. Anesthesia will be maintained with %2-3 sevoflurane. Fentanyl 1 µg/kg will be given before skin closure at the end of surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to a study group by the computer generated number table. Children in group B were administered bilateral ESPB with 0.25% bupivacaine, while children in group C did not receive any intervention. Following inhalational induction and endotracheal tube placement, the patient will be turned into a left lateral decubitus position and bilateral ESP block will be performed under aseptic conditions. ESP block at bilateral side will be performed in the lateral decubitis position and at T5 transverse process level by using 10-MHz liner ultrasound probe. The probe will be located 1 cm lateral to T5 spinous process in longitudinal parasagittal orientation. Simplex A 50mm (B.Braun, Germany) will be inserted by using out of plane technique. The ESP blocks proceed with 0,5 ml/kg of 0,25% bupivacaine (Group B). Postoperative care: All the patients then will be shifted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after the surgery and managed with the institution's ICU protocol for postoperative pain management and ventilation.The postoperative analgesia will be provided with rescue intravenous (IV) morphine 0.05 mg/kg. Both the groups will receive IV paracetamol 15 mg/kg every 6 hours as a component of multimodal analgesia. Postoperative sternal wound pain will be judged by the Modified Objectice Pain Scale. Postoperative sedation levels will be evaluated with Ramsya sedation score.
Many drugs with various mechanisms of action are used for postcaesarean pain relief. Although the response to pain relief is sometimes believed to be individual, it is very important to establish the most effective with the least adverse effects type of oral analgesia for women after caesarean section. Optimal pain control post-caesarean section will benefit not only the mother and her baby, but also a healthcare system. Optimal pain control may shorten the time spent in hospital after caesarean section and, therefore, reduce healthcare costs.
US-guided femoral nerve block is used effectively in post-operative pain management in the surgical treatment of the lower extremity. However, the volume and concentration of the local anesthetic drug to be administered remains controversial. In this prospective, randomized, double-blinded study, patients who underwent unilateral primary total knee arthroplasty and successfully performed spinal anesthesia with standard method and dosage, will be selected for US-guided femoral nerve block after the operation. Patients will be divided into three groups with simple randomization. The First group will be determined as the control group (GCont) and only dressing will be applied to the patients. For second group(G125), 0,125% 20 ml local anesthetic and for the third group (G25), 0,25% 10 ml local anesthetic will be administered to the femoral nerve without changing the drug dose (25 mg bupivacaine). Whether there is a difference between post-op analgesia durations, motor block formation, mobilization time and 90° flexion time between the groups will be investigated.
