Filter by:In upper extremity surgeries, the brachial plexus block can be performed with different techniques at various levels depending on the proximal and distal level of the surgery. In this study, we aim to compare the different approaches of US guided costoclavicular technique. Lateral approache is more common for the costoclavicular block area. However, more needle maneuvers are needed especially in pediatric patients because of the coracoid process. Medial approach is recommended to overcome this problem. Thus demonstrate the safety of upper extremity blocks, which is an important part of multimodal analgesia, and to determine the most ideal technique in the pediatric patient group who will undergo upper extremity surgery. During the block application, the US imaging time, the difficulty level of needle imaging, the number of maneuvers required to reach the target image, whether additional maneuvers are required according to the local anesthetic distribution, the success of the block and the duration of the surgery, the total application time of the block and the duration of general anesthesia will be recorded. Mean arterial pressure and heart rate will be recorded at 30-minute intervals during the surgery. Standardized for pediatric patients The FLACC and Wong-Baker pain scores will be followed first 24 hours after surgery. The patient will be examined for motor and sensation, and analgesic doses will be recorded if used. Time to first pain identification, duration of sleep, patient and surgeon satisfaction will be recorded.
Continuous Infusion of Local Anesthetic After Kidney Transplantation This is a phase III, randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled trial comparing the use of a continuous infusion of local anesthetic via transversus abdominis plane (TAP) catheter to a saline infusion (sham) via TAP catheter along with standard postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing kidney transplantation. Patients will have a TAP catheter placed at the time of kidney transplantation by the surgical team under direct vision. They are then randomized to a continuous infusion of local anesthetic or saline for 48 hours postoperatively. Both groups will receive a standard postoperative analgesic regimen including a Patient Controlled Analgesic (PCA) pump and multimodal analgesics including acetaminophen and gabapentin.
This is a multicenter, Phase 3, open-label, safety, tolerability, and characterization of pharmacokinetics study of the INL 001 (bupivacaine HCl) implant, at 300 mg, in patients following various soft-tissue surgeries: open ventral hernia repair, abdominoplasty, open abdominal hysterectomy, laparoscopic-assisted colectomy, and reduction mammoplasty.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled efficacy and safety study of the INL-001 (bupivacaine HCl) implant, at 300 mg, in patients following abdominoplasty to evaluate postoperative analgesia.
Ultrasound-guided brachial plexus blocks are used successfully for upper extremity surgeries. In this randomized prospective single-blind study, ASA I-II patients aged 18-65 years undergoing hand, wrist, and forearm surgery will be randomly divided into two groups. First group will receive ultrasound-guided coronal oblique supraclavicular block using a 22G, 50 mm stimulator needle, and the second group, ultrasound-guided lateral sagittal infraclavicular block using a 22G 100 mm stimulator needle. We will prepare, 30 ml of 1:1 0.5% bupivacaine and 2% prilocaine with 5 mcg adrenaline per milliliter as local anesthetic mixture. Block application time, block success, sensory and motor block levels, and postoperative analgesia time will be recorded and compared between the groups. Accordingly, the success rate of the two methods will be evaluated.
In upper extremity surgeries, the brachial plexus block can be performed with different techniques at various levels depending on the proximal and distal level of the surgery. As an alternative to the infraclavicular brachial plexus block, which has been used for many years and which we routinely perform to every pediatric patient under general anesthesia; Costoclavicular block is recommended due to its advantages such as short application time, single injection and sufficient ultrasound imaging, and its use is becoming widespread. There are studies comparing these two methods. However in this study, we aim to compare the postoperative analgesic effects of US-guided costoclavicular technique with US-guided supraclavicular technique, which is more common for many years and is performed 2-3 cm proximal to the costoclavicular block area. During the block application, the US imaging time, the difficulty level of needle imaging, the number of maneuvers required to reach the target image, whether additional maneuvers are required according to the local anesthetic distribution, the success of the block and the duration of the surgery, the total application time of the block and the duration of general anesthesia will be recorded. Mean arterial pressure and heart rate will be recorded at 30-minute intervals during the surgery. Standardized for pediatric patients The FLACC and Wong-Baker pain scores will be followed first 24 hours after surgery. The patient will be examined for pain, motor and sensation, and analgesic doses will be recorded if used. Time to first pain identification, duration of sleep, patient and surgeon satisfaction will be recorded. The rarely onset of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis during supraclavicular block reduces its use. Costoclavicular block could be a safe and effective alternative. One of our seconder objectives is to assess the incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis following ultrasound-guided supraclavicular block and compare it to that of costoclavicular block. For this purpose diaphragmatic excursion is visualized by M-mode ultrasonography 30 minutes after extubation. In B-mode, the diaphragm thickness measurement at the end of expiratory and inspiratory end is recorded and the diaphragm thickness fraction is calculated. Absence of diaphragmatic excursion during a sniff test or sighing defined the hemidiaphragmatic paralysis.
This study investigates the effects of preoperative use of oral combination of duloxetine and Pregabalin in comparison with preoperative oral Pregabalin only in treatment of acute postoperative and prevention of chronic pain following thoracotomy surgeries.
Single Blind, Randomized Controlled study to see if TAP Block with Exparel provides better pain relief than TAP Block with bupivicaine. Differences in Pain Scale, Length of Stay, and Total Narcotic use in the hospital will be evaluated.
This study aims to assess the post-dental extraction pain following the application of two different dressing materials. Alvogyl® and Absorbable gelatin sponges
Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block is a useful tool in pain management after abdominal surgery. It is a regional nerve block that targets T6-L1 thoracolumbar nerves running in the plane between internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscle. It is shown to help with post-operative pain management, reducing pain scores and narcotic pain medication use, as well as promoting earlier return to activity and recovery. TAP block became a very popular, safe, and effective therapeutic adjunct for many different abdominal surgeries ranging from obstetric procedures to general surgery procedures like colorectal surgery. Furthermore, it is used in plastic surgery procedures such as Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) free flap or Transverse Rectus Abdominis Myocutaneous (TRAM) flap, as they involve extensive amount of abdominal soft tissue incision. Previous studies have shown that TAP block in these procedures significantly reduce post-op pain and narcotic pain medication use. More recently, Exparel (liposomal bupivacaine) has risen to spotlight for providing a longer, sustained local anesthesia. Various surgical disciplines have adopted this agent as part of their pain management protocol. However, there are no literatures that describe the effect of TAP block using Exparel for breast free flap population. The study hypothesize that delivering TAP block with Exparel (vs. plain bupivacaine) will provide longer regional blocking effect, hence aiding in pain control and recovery postoperatively. The investigators will be analyzing postop narcotic pain medication requirement and pain scores to look into this question.
