The infiltration of the surgical wound is an effective strategy for postoperative analgesia. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatories are useful in this way. Objective: To compare the analgesic effectiveness of diclofenac sodium, bupivacaine or bupivacaine plus diclofenac sodium infiltrating wound appendectomies. Method: Comparative, double blind, American Society Anesthesiologist classification I-II,18-65años. Group 1 (Bupivacaine n = 14), Group 2 (Diclofenac Sodium n = 14), Group 3 (Bupivacaine + Diclofenac Sodium n = 15). Pain at rest and dynamic, rescue analgesic consumption in Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) and 24 hours after surgery were evaluated.
Thoracotomy is one of the most painful surgical incision. Uncontrolled acute post-thoracotomy pain reducing deep breathing exercises and secretion clearance increased the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications including atelectasis, hypoxemia, and postoperative pulmonary infections. Thus, an effective analgesia is crucial in order to reduce perioperative morbidity and hospitalization time and also to prevent chronic post-thoracotomy pain. Thoracic epidural analgesia and thoracic paravertebral analgesia are currently the standard strategies for thoracic surgery but the difficult of performing them in all patients and their potential complications are all factors that limit their use. Systemic administration of opioids is the simplest and common strategy to provide analgesia but it may be associated with several undesirable effects, such as respiratory depression, sedation, nausea, constipation and vomiting. In the recent years, preventive analgesia is become one of the most promising strategy of postoperative pain control. It is based on the concept of administering analgesic drugs before the occurrence of nociceptive input in order to prevent central sensitization. The efficacy of preemptive analgesia is unclear and there is no a consensus on its efficacy on controlling pain after thoracic procedure. Pain following thoracotomy has a multifactorial genesis including surgical incision, intercostal nerve injury, pleural inflammation, and damage of pulmonary parenchyma and of diaphragm. Thus, a multimodal analgesia that intercepts the signalizing at numerous locations could be more effective than a single strategy targeting one site along the pain pathway. Thus, in the present study, the clinical hypothesis was that the preemptive analgesia of the skin using a new tool as the Lidocaine patch 5% would improve the analgesic effects of systemic morphine analgesia for controlling post-operative pain following thoracotomy.
This single-center, cross-sectional survey and sensory examination is conducted to determine the prevalence, sensory characteristics and risk factors of PPSP in patients who underwent cystectomy at Washington University/Barnes-Jewish Hospital between 2009 and 2015. Based on data from other lower abdominal surgeries, the investigators hypothesize that 10-15% of patients undergoing cystectomy will develop PPSP.
The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of lornoxicam compared with that of etoricoxib after total knee replacement.
The effect of perineural dexamethasone administered as an adjuvant in prolonging the duration of analgesia continues to be under debate. The investigators performed a prospective randomized study to evaluate the effect of perineural dexamethasone in different concentrations in postoperative analgesia in femoral nerve block for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Sixty female non-smoker patients, aged 18-50 years and ASA I and II undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia were included in this randomized controlled double-blind study. Patients were randomly divided into 3 groups 20 each, C group patients received transdermal placebo patch, TDN group (15 mg/16 h) and TDM group (7 mg/8h). Assessment of postoperative pain, sedation, hemodynamic variables such as HR and MAP, postoperative monitoring of arterial SpO2 and side effects (e.g. nausea, vomiting, pruritis, respiratory depression and hemodynamic instability) were done 30 minutes, 1, 2, 6 and 12 hours postoperatively. Postoperative Patient's and Surgeons' satisfaction, Intraoperative bleeding and plasma cortisol (µg / dl) 2 hours postoperatively were also assessed.
This study is designed to evaluate pain control of continuous transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks placed for open inguinal hernia repair. The investigators hypothesize that there will be improved pain control when compared with sham blocks.
The purpose of this multicenter study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of dexmedetomidine combined with sufentanil for patient-controlled analgesia after caesarean section
This study compare outcomes (i.e. pain, wound infection, and patient satisfaction) between infra-umbilical vs. trans-umbilical incision after Laparoscopic cholecystectomy
