Filter by:The opioid consumption has exploded in the western world, and for some patient populations such as obese patients, patients with sleep apnoea or patients undergoing cancer treatment, opioid-sparing/ opioid-free strategies could have positive effects on outcomes. Studies suggest that opioids could have opioid-induced immunosuppression, induce chronic post-operative pain syndrome and hyperalgesia in addition to the more well-known side effects such as respiratory depression, nausea, bladder, and bowel dysfunction. Hence, new studies are needed on the impact of person-centered care programs that combine pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical strategies to reduce the adverse short and long-term effects of opioid therapy. The overall aim is to evaluate the short-, medium- and long-term effects of opioid-free care pathways with or without person-centred care compared to conventional opioid-based treatment in patients undergoing obesity surgery. Specific aims 1. Determine the effects of opioid-free care with or without person-centred care compared with conventional opioid-based general anaesthesia on the cognitive and physical quality of recovery after surgery up to 24 months after surgery (short-term: postoperative to discharge, medium-term: 14 days, 3 months, long-term: 6 months, 12 months and 24 months). 2. Describe the clinical monitoring trend regarding nociceptive response intraoperatively between opioid-free and conventional care. 3. Map the impact of opioid-free anaesthesia (with and without person-centred care) on the usage of opioids up to 24 months after hospital discharge. 4. Explore the patients' experience of quality of life, self-efficacy and recovery after surgery in opioid-free care with or without person-centred care during the first year post-surgery. The aims will be evaluated by a prospective, randomized, non-blinded, non-commercial multi-centre study (Nov 2018-Dec 2022) approved by the Swedish Medicines Agency (EudraCT 2017003830-97) and the ethical review board (DNR 1006-17).
Although remifentanil provides profound analgesia during operation, postoperative occurrence of hyperalgesia and tolerance after remifentanil administration could be a challenge to the postoperative pain control. Evaluation of analgesia and anti-nociception during anesthesia is still a challenging issue. Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) is a non-invasive and simple access tool used to monitor autonomous nervous system during anesthesia. This technique is based on photoplethysmographic wave and heart beat analysis. SPI values range between 0 (no stress) and 100 (high stress level). The purpose of this study was to determine the appropriate use of Remifentanil for pain control in patients with SPI.
the investigators use usually a plane block for postoperative analgesia; if it suitable. İn laparoscopic patients; investigators used oblique subcostal transversus abdominis plane block; formerly. But in the last few months, the investigators have performed serratus intercostal (BRILMA) block with bilateral rectus sheath block. in this retrospective evaluation, the aim of the retrospective evaluation is to determine the effects of two block on postoperative opioid consumption.
The purpose of this study is to use gabapentin as an additional or alternative treatment for short term pain control following cesarean delivery in order to reduce the use of opioid pain medication and improve overall pain control following surgery.
Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (PENS) of the auricle for acute pain management post cardiac surgery
aim of this study is to assess and compare between the efficacy of the new U/S guided erector spinae plane block (ESP) and the conventional methods of systemic analgesics in adult patients scheduled for elective thoracotomy surgery.
This study was designed as a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 2 groups. The treatment procedures were performed by one operator. After local anesthesia and rubber dam isolation, access cavity preparation was performed by diamond burs with high-speed hand pieces under the water cooling. . Instrumentation of procedures was performed by Reciproc R50 files. Irrigation protocol was completed, canal were dried, filled with gutta-percha cones and AH Plus sealer. After chemo- mechanical instrumentation and root canal filling procedures, LLLT was applied for 60 second per tooth using Nd-YAG laser ( λ=1064 nm,100 mJ, 10 Hz, 1-W) The same procedures as in the laser group were performed, been completed but the laser was not activated in this group. These patients were assigned as placebo group. Postoperative pain was measured and documented via the Visual Analogue Scale. Chi-square test was performed in analysis of the nominal data.There was statistically significant difference between groups at the 12th and 24th hours (p<.05). ). However, no statistically significant difference was found between the groups at the 4th, 8th, 48th, and 72th hours (p>.05). No statistically significant differences were detected between the groups in terms of demographic data (age and tooth number) except for gender (P > .05).LLLT can decrease postoperative pain after root canal treatment of single rooted teeth.
the study is conducted to assess and compare the efficacy of local intraligamentary injection of glucocorticoids(dexamethasone) and NSAID(piroxicam) on reduction of postoperative pain in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
Pain management after lomber disc hernia repair surgery is a challenging issue for anesthetists. Erector Spinae plane block is a novel analgesic technique which could be used for this purpose. Primary aim of this double blinded randomized controlled study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of this new block technique with control group in this group of patients.
The nerves from lumbar plexus (LP) are the current target to achieve analgesia after a total hip arthroplasty (THA). Lumbar plexus block (LPB) is an alternative that provides optimal postoperative analgesia. However, many adverse effects and complications have been reported due to its proximity to vital structures. Because of these shortcomings, an alternative to block the LP nerves is required. In a recent trial suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block (SFIB) was reported to provide reliable analgesia in THA. SFIB may carry a lower risk profile, however, no study has compared the efficacy of LPB and SFIB in this setting. Thus, this randomized trial is set out to compare US guided LPB and SFIB for analgesia after THA. The hypothesis is that both blocks would result in similar postoperative opioid (morphine) consumption at 24 hours and, therefore, designed the study as an equivalence trial.
