Filter by:The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of Sublingual Sufentanil Tablets System (SSTS, Zalviso ®) to control postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty in the context of early rehabilitation program. SSTS is a novel patient controlled analgesia system wich does not require intravenous access, potentially improving pain control and promoting mobilization. SSTS will be randomly compared to nurse-driven oral Oxycodone.
Shoulder arthroscopy is associated with severe postoperative pain. Traditionally, the interscalene approach to the brachial plexus has been employed to manage postoperative pain following shoulder surgery.To provide more complete shoulder joint analgesia, suprascabular nerve block (SSNB) was combined with block of the circumflex nerve which comes from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus that usually gives also upper subscapular, thoracodorsal, lower subscapular and radial nerves.
The ongoing opioid epidemic has altered both how physicians prescribe narcotics and patients' perceptions of those prescriptions. Along with increased scrutiny regarding the quantity of opioids that be may prescribed after acute injury, for chronic conditions and following surgery the healthcare industry as a whole continues to search for alternative medications that provide adequate pain relief and have a reduced tendency for abuse/dependence/addition. To that end this study has the following aims: 1. To evaluate the amount of opioids consumed following minimally invasive, female pelvic surgery when patients' postoperative pain is managed via: 1. Acetaminophen plus Ibuprofen plus breakthrough pain opioids (Standard protocol) 2. Acetaminophen plus Intranasal Ketorolac Tromethamine plus opioids for breakthrough pain (Sprix protocol) 2. Patient satisfaction with the aforementioned methods 3. Evaluate and compare pain scores via validated questionnaire Hypothesis: Primary: 1. Patients prescribed intranasal Ketorolac (Sprix protocol) will consume significantly less Morphine Milliequivalents (mEqs) of narcotics compared to the standard protocol following minimally invasive female pelvic surgery. Secondary: 1. Patients in the Sprix protocol will have lower Visual Analog Scale (VAS) measures of pain which will be measured on a 0-10 scale where 0 denotes no pain and 10 denotes maximum experience of pain 2. Patients in the Sprix protocol will have lower numeric pain score and on POD#4 3. Patients in the Sprix protocol will have higher Quality of Recovery 40 (QoR-40 )scores on POD#1 4. Patients in the Sprix protocol will have higher QoR-40 scores on POD#4 5. Patients will not have any significant difference in overall surgical satisfaction on POD#1 and POD#4 using a numerical satisfaction score 6. Patients in the Sprix protocol will be more likely to consume no narcotics at all once discharged to home
Knee surgeries are associated with severe postoperative pain. Blocking the femoral nerve (or saphenous nerve) in the adductor canal is increasingly used for knee analgesia. It carries potential benefits that encourage anesthesiologists to do it. It has a motor sparing property. Injection of local anesthetics in this lengthy canal that contains a variable amount of connective or fibrous tissue might lead to a patchy distribution of local anesthetics. Thus, the possibility of incomplete block of the saphenous nerve (most important nerve in knee innervations) cannot be excluded.
Thoracotomy is one of the most painful surgery. Acute postoperative pain increases postoperative morbidity and prolongs hospital stay and also may lead to developing a chronic pain syndrome. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of continuous rhomboid intercostal and subserratus plane (RISS) block by inserting a catheter under direct vision for controlling acute thoracotomy pain.
The prevalence of hip replacement surgery is increasing nowadays. Patients are usually older age and suffer from comorbidities may be an anesthetic and analgesic challenge. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a newly described technique that is has been demonstrated in previous studies for chronic and acute pain treatment. The exact volume and concentration of local anesthetic (LA) to be used in ESPB is not well established.
Patients with BMI >35 and chronic diseases or BMI >40 will be scheduled to receive Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG). Two groups are planned according to receive Enhance recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol or not. All participants will receive standard LSG. Participants of ERAS will receive anesthesia and post-surgical nutrition protocol which are determined for ERAS. All patients will be checked for status of pain with VAS score, nausea and vomiting with PONV score at postoperative 2nd hour, 12th hour. In ERAS group liquid oral intake will be started between postoperative 2nd and 4th hours. In no ERAS group liquid oral intake will be started in the morning of postoperative first day. The patients who provides discharge criterias will be discahrged. these criterias are; To provide adequate pain relief with paracetamol and nonsteroidal painkillers, No wound problem, No complications after surgery, Pulse rate <90 beats / min, temperature ≤ 37 · 5 ° C, respiratory rate, <20 breaths / minute, To be able to mobilize easily, To be able to drink 1 liter of water after surgery. Emergency admissions of the participants within a month after surgery will be recorded.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether the transversus abdominis plane block (Tap block) is different than the oral postoperative pain medications in controlling pain after robotic sacrocolpopexy.
Evaluation of neuroplasticity of pain pathways and corneal afferent nerve regeneration following corneal crosslinking (CXL) in keratoconus patients using fMRI and corneal In Vivo Confocal Microscopy (IVCM).
Ventral hernia repair is associated with significant postoperative pain, and regional anesthetic techniques are of potential benefit. The postoperative mobility and training is of utmost importance in this patient group, and could be increased using local anesthetics instead of opioids. Inadequate post-operative pain control can lead to adverse consequences for patients, such as the development of chronic pain, immunosuppression, poorer healing of surgical wounds, as well as adrenergic activation and its consequences in the form of coronary incidents or gastrointestinal obstruction and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Moreover, lack of mobility can result in thrombosis and embolism. These complications affect hospital functioning, which leads to decreased patient satisfaction, a worse reputation for the hospital, longer stays in the recovery room, prolonged hospitalizations, higher incidence of re-surgeries and re-admissions, and higher costs for care and treatment. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is the latest of the truncal blocks and was first described in 2016. The efficacy of bilateral ESPB at the T7 level has been described in a study of 4 cases, moreover effective analgesia with ESPB after bariatric surgery has been described in a study of 3 cases. When performed at the level of the T7 transverse process, studies show the potential to block both supra-umbilical and infra-umbilical dermatomes. So far there are mostly case studies done in this field of study, and internationally there is a call for research into the effect of this technique and randomized controlled trials. The objective of this study is to compare ESPB to multimodal analgesia in patients undergoing ventral hernia repair.
