Filter by:Aim of the work The aim of the study is to compare between the effects of ultrasound guided thoracic paravertebral block, pectoral nerve block II, and erector spinae block in management of pain during cancer breast surgeries. The hypothesis of the study is that the three groups will give comparative results.
Postoperative pain management in the pediatric patient undergoing tonsillectomy is challenging. Despite being used in many procedures for postoperative pain management, perioperative ketorolac usage in pediatric tonsillectomy surgery is very limited. A recent survey showed that only 8.2% of anesthesiologists use NSAIDS for perioperative management of children with OSA undergoing adenotonsillectomy. We propose to conduct a prospective, randomized study to investigate the opioid-sparing effect of perioperative ketorolac in pediatric patients who undergo tonsillectomies.
The LOLIPOP Trial is a large (n=4,300 patients) pragmatic, international, multicentre, prospective, randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled, parallel assessment, safety and effectiveness superiority study.
This study aims to evaluate the effects of erector spinae plane block on intraoperative fentanyl consumption in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy under general anesthesia. To our knowledge, no study in the literature demonstrates this effect.
This is a randomized double blinded non-inferiority study comparing the duration of pain relief when patients receive one of three doses of spinal morphine. Enrolled patients will be randomly assigned to receive either 50 mcg, 150 mcg, or 250 mcg. All patients will receive standardized postoperative care, including multimodal analgesia. The primary outcome will be the time until the patient requests additional opioid pain medications.
A double blind, prospective, randomized trial to evaluate postoperative pain, narcotic use, patient satisfaction, and function among shoulder arthroplasty patients receiving interscalene block with and without the addition of liposomal bupivacaine.
An adequate balance between analgesia and motor function is an essential requirement to facilitate functional recovery and early discharge after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. Proximal nerve blocks (i.e. femoral and sciatic nerve blocks) are associated with optimal analgesia, but they can cause muscle weakness, interfering with rehabilitation and increasing the risk of falls . A recent randomized controlled trial concluded that, compared to mid-and distal ACB, a distal femoral triangle block (FTB) is associated with lower opioid consumption and improved postoperative analgesia for ambulatory ACL reconstruction. In ACL reconstruction surgery there are other potential sources of pain not covered by a FTB, such as intra-articular structures (menisci, cruciate ligaments), posterior knee capsule and the graft donor site. Evidence supporting the addition of an IPACK block to a FTB has been studied for patients undergoing total knee replacement, nonetheless, there is no trial analyzing the analgesic contribution of IPACK to a FTB in the context of ACL reconstruction surgery. In this multicentric trial, the investigators set out to analyze the analgesic benefit of adding an IPACK block to a FTB.
Perioperative stress is associated with various influences before and after surgery. Instead of benzodiazepines, patients can be calmed by non-pharmacological methods. One of these is perioperative medical hypnosis, which has also other beneficial effects such as lower opioid consumption, better wound healing, shorter hospital stays. Acupuncture is used for analgesia. Is is effective for preventing and treating nausea and vomiting. Hypothesis of the study is that perioperative acupuncture reduces the consumption of analgesics and anaesthetics during surgery. The investigators will also study the impact of acupuncture on postoperative nausea and vomiting and analgesic consumption in the postoperative recovery unit and the occurrence of postoperative delirium.
Investigators hypothesize that Erector spinae catheter pain management protocol would allow patients to have earlier and more effective rehabilitation with decreased length of hospital stay. The aims are to compare LOS between the two groups (epidural and ES groups). Secondary aims are to compare recovery outcomes (mobilization time), time required to do the blocks, pain scores and opioid use during hospitalization and on follow up after discharge until Pain clinic visit, side effects, family satisfaction and readmissions among the two groups. In addition, in-hospital and post-discharge outcomes in subjects who received ESP protocol will be studied.
General anesthesia is a combination of hypnotic drugs and opioid analgesics. Modern general anesthesia aims to treat nociception induced by surgical stimulation while avoiding an overdose of opioid analgesics and reducing side-effects of opioid administration. Quality and safety of general anesthesia are of major clinical importance and can be improved by adjusting the opioid analgesics to the optimal individual dose needed. In the current clinical practice, the opioid dosage is usually chosen by clinical judgment, though recently different monitoring devices estimating the effect of nociception during unconsciousness have become commercially available. Nevertheless, the impact of nociception-monitor-guided opioid administration on the administered amount of opioid, postoperative short-term recovery, and long-term outcome is inconclusive. This study aims to investigate the predictive power of different nociception monitoring systems for the prediction of moderate to severe immediate postoperative pain from nociception indices measured before awakening from general anesthesia.
