Filter by:To compare the effect of using Etidronate in sodium hypochlorite versus sodium hypochlorite irrigating solution on: - Postoperative pain in patients with necrotic pulp. - Bacterial load reduction & main bacterial species detected preinstrumentation and post-instrumentaion - Periapical Matrix metalloproteinase 9 level (MMP-9) postinstrumentation and pre-obturation
• The aim of this study is to compare the degree of postoperative pain and the antimicrobial effect in terms of bacterial count reduction after using co-amoxiclav-clindamycin solution versus MTAD and sodium hypochlorite irrigating solutions in patients with necrotic pulp.
Pain is common for the first 2 days after major craniotomy. Inadequate analgesia induced sympathetically mediated hypertension may lead to an increased risk for post-operative complications, such as arterial hypertension, intracranial hemorrhage, prolonged hospital stay, and mortality.Pain after craniotomy derives from the scalp and pericranial muscles.Scalp block with local anesthesia seems to provide effective and safe anesthetic management.Scalp block can be performed by directly blocking the six different nerves that provide the sensory innervation of the scalp in neurological surgery.Even if adrenaline as an additive agent, scalp block using 0.5% or 0.75% bupivacaine with adrenaline could only improve postoperative analgesic for up to six hours after craniotomy.However, pain is common for the first 2 days after major elective intracranial surgery, and the relatively short analgesic time of scalp nerve blocks does not seem to meet the requirements of craniotomy. Therefore, how to improve the quality and duration of scalp nerve blocks with local anesthetics is of great significance.Parecoxib is a NSAIDs that specifically inhibits the enzyme COX-2.Liu et al firstly applied parecoxib as an adjuvant to local anesthetics on peripheral nerve blocks and reported 20 mg parecoxib added to ropivacaine injected locally on the brachial plexus nerve prolonged the motor and sensory block times of the nerve blockade and ameliorated postoperative pain intensity for patients receiving forearm orthopaedic surgery. However, there has not been reported about local application of parecoxib on scalp nerve blocks. The investigators postulate that parecoxib may be also ideal for scalp nerve blocks for relief of post-craniotomy pain, and further research is needed. The APONIA trial aims to establish whether scalp blocks with a mixture of ropivacaine plus parecoxib is able to relieve patients' postoperative pain compared with local anesthetics alone, thereby potentially changing medical practice.
this study aim to Compare the effect of preoperative Epidural Midazolam, Morphine and their combination in postoperative pain relief and total morphine consumption.
Effective post-surgical pain management is a crucial component of a patient's postoperative course following posterior colporrhaphy. Narcotics are the cornerstone for postoperative analgesia with a frequent re-dosing requirement, a lengthy list of side effects and adverse reaction risks. The colorectal, orthopedic and general surgery literatures have reported on an extended-release bupivacaine liposomal injection, Exparel®, which remarkably reduces acute post-operative pain; however, literature regarding this medication specific to Urogynecology and Gynecology is limited. The investigators propose a prospective, randomized, double blind, trial with 120 subjects recruited from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) Urogynecology Clinic to study postsurgical pain control after posterior repair. There will be two arms in the study; one arm with bupivacaine alone and a second arm with bupivacaine mixed with Exparel®(extended-release, liposomal bupivacaine) injected vaginally in patients undergoing posterior colporrhaphy. Subjects will be randomized to receive either 20 milliliter (mL) of plain bupivacaine or 20mL (10ml+10ml) mixture of bupivacaine plus Exparel®. The primary objective of the trial will be to evaluate the postsurgical vaginal pain using a visual analog pain scale at days 1, 2, 3 post-procedure. All subjects will have acetaminophen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and narcotic pain medication available for pain control regardless of assignment, which is the usual postoperative pain control regimen. The investigators hypothesize a 30% difference in post-operative pain measurements between the two groups. Additional objectives of this study are to evaluate total medication usage on days 1, 2 and 3 and any post-operative voiding and defecatory dysfunction, comparing the two groups
This will be a prospective study to determine the association between specific genotypes, epigenetics, behavioral, social and biological factors, with the phenotypes, defined by pain perception, postoperative pain, analgesic effects, side effects to perioperative analgesics, chronic postoperative pain, and gene expression in patients following pectus excavatum repair.
Patients undergoing Partial or total mastectomy with axillary LN dissection will receive prior to induction of general anaesthesia ESP block at T4 level at the same side of the surgery. one group will receive ropivacaine 0.375% and the other will get ropivacaine 0.375% with dexmedetomidine 0.5mcg/kg as an adjuvant. time to first narcotic requirement will be documented and therefore an assessment of the duration of action of the block will be made
Lumbar vertebra surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures. After lumbar veretebra surgery, patients complain of excessive pain. Postoperative pain usually occurs in the early postoperative period and delays patient mobilization and thus lengthens hospital stay. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of erector spina plan(ESP) block and thoraco lumbar interfacial(TLIP) block on postoperative pain in patients with spinal surgery.
Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) is the basic method of analgesia in patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy. TEA is considered to be a safe and thoroughly investigated method of pain relief that rarely causes serious complications. However, blocking the nerves as they emerge from the spinal column (paravertebral block, PVB) may represent an alternative method with some potential benefits. In this study, TEA and PVB will be compared for patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy by video assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis, that PVB is a time-saving procedure compared with TEA on the day of surgery and that PVB is as efficient in postoperative pain reduction as TEA.
Knee Osteoarthritis affects one third of the population over 65 years old. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has become one of the most frequent surgical procedures in the world. During the last years it went from being a long hospital stay surgery to a fast track procedure. Currently models employ high volume local infiltration techniques (LIA). The genicular nerve block (GNB) appears as alternative in this patients. The objective of this study is to evaluate the analgesic results of genicular nerve block after TKA in a small cohort of patients. 35 patients scheduled for TKA underwent to GNB were included. Pain measurement.
