Filter by:TAP block is the administration of local anesthetic agents into the anatomic neurofascial cavity between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscle in the antero-lateral region of the abdomen to block the anterior branches of the thoracic intercostal (T7-T12) and first lumbar (L1) nerves. TAP block may be a good method for postoperative pain control. We aim to show the effect of TAP block administration on analgesic consumption after varicocelectomy operations, side effects linked to analgesic use and analgesic quality.
The investigators have recently reported a relationship between pain induced by peripheral venous cannulation and postoperative pain. The purpose of this study is to validate this method of postoperative pain prediction in a larger cohort subjected to different types of surgery.
Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a novel type of peripheral nerve block that involves innervations of the anterolateral abdominal wall derived from T6-L1.It provides adequate post-operative pain relieve following the various abdominal surgeries. Theoretically, TAP block may replace the need for epidural analgesia after abdominal operations. The oblique subcostal approach of the TAP (OSTAP) block, which was de¬scribed by (Hebbard et al, 2010) , has been reported to provide analgesia to the entire anterior abdomen.
Circumcision is the most common surgical procedure performed by Pediatric Urologists. Ketorolac has been shown to have an efficacy similar to morphine in multi-modal analgesic regimens without the commonly associated adverse effects. This study aims to see if giving ketorolac during the operation will result in better pain control. We hypothesize that ketorolac will result in pain control similar to morphine with a lower incidence of side effects such as nausea and vomiting.
The aim of this randomized trial is to assess the efficacy of SPI-directed analgesia for vitreoretinal surgeries (VRS), presence of PONV and oculocardiac reflex (OCR) and compare Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) with Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) for monitoring pain perception postoperatively. Patients received general anaesthesia alone or combined with either preemptive analgesia using topical solution of 0,5% proxymetacaine or peribulbar block (0,5% bupivacaine with 2% lidokaine) or preemptive intravenous infusion of 1,0 g of metamizol or preemptive intravenous infusion of acetaminophen in a doseof 10-15mg/kg of body weight.
This study evaluates the effect of larger or smaller opioid prescriptions following minor surgery on the amount of narcotic used, patient reported satisfaction, refill requests, and leftover narcotic.
Recent clinical studies in abdominal surgery have shown that the use of Xylocaine® parenterally intraoperative at plasma concentrations below the toxic threshold of 5 .mu.g / ml, had an analgesic effect and decreased postoperative morphine consumption. This study aims to evaluate the activity of Xylocaine® and ketamine separately administered parenterally, in terms of postoperative morphine consumption and decrease incidences of postoperative chronic pain at 3 and 6 months after laparoscopic colectomy compared the placebo group. The evaluation of the intensity of postoperative pain, hyperalgesia perished skin surface scarring) and pain perception threshold by Pain Matcher® confirm or not the predictive nature of these criteria in the occurrence of chronic pain.
Despite the increasing use of patient-controlled anesthesia (PCA) for postoperative pain management, efforts are continuing to find effective methods to relieve pain after abdominal surgery. Although opioid is an effective analgesic it has opioid related adverse events (ORAEs). Bupivacaine should reduce postoperative pain but it has relatively shorter duration of action. Liposome bupivacaine (Exparel) has been approved as a single dose infiltration for longer postoperative period analgesic. It provides up to 72 hours analgesia postoperatively; results in lesser opioids usage and reduce the ORAEs. Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a relatively new regional anesthetic technique. TAP blocks have been performed to reduce opioid use and control pain in several laparoscopic surgical procedures, including colorectal resections, cholecystectomy and bariatric surgery. The aim of this study is to study the opiate usage, pain and nausea post laparoscopic gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy using Exparel versus Bupivacaine as TAP block and port sites infiltration.
The study will involve adult patients undergoing elective thoracolumbar-sacral spine surgery involving 1-5 spine levels, at the Brigham and Women's hospital that have an anticipated post surgical hospital stay of one to three days. These patients will be randomly assigned by the BWH Investigational Drug Service to one of three different groups, each consisting of 33 patients: • Group 1 will be patients that will receive epidural hydromorphone 0. 5mg and bupivicaine 6.25 mg for a total volume of 10 ml. - Group 2 patients will receive hydromorphone 0.5 mg in preservative free saline for a total volume of 10ml. - Group 3 patients will receive 10 ml of preservative free saline and this will serve as the control group.
Our primary aim is to determine whether licorice gargling provides meaningful analgesia after oral surgery. Specifically, we propose to test the primary hypothesis that gargling with licorice solution reduces pain after oral surgery more than gargling with sugar water. Because effective analgesia can reduce pain and/or opioid consumption, we will jointly evaluate verbal response pain scores and overall morphine consumption considering licorice to be beneficial only if it proves non-inferior on both measures and superior on at least one.
