Filter by:With a prospective, observational study assess post-surgery pain levels and patient's use of opioids and other analgesic drugs to moderate pain following third molar surgery.
The erector spinae plane block has been recently described as an effective analgesic postoperative pain treatment in case reports. It consists of injecting local anaesthetics below the erector spinae muscle, at the level of the transverse processes, in order to anaesthetize the thoracic roots coming out from the spinal cord. However, the analgesic efficacy has never been demonstrated in a randomized controlled trial. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the analgesic benefit of this block on patients scheduled for thoracoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to determine if pre-warming of arthroscopic fluid reduces immediate post-surgical pain in hip arthroscopy patients. The investigators hypothesize there will be a significant decrease in the Visual Analog Score (VAS) measured 30 minutes post-operatively in the warmed fluid group compared to the control group. Secondary outcome measures to be collected will include VAS scores 60 minutes after surgery and on post-operative day (POD) one. Additionally, the investigators will collect post-operative temperature measured 30 and 60 minutes post-operatively as well as morphine equivalent dosing in PACU and at the two-week follow up visit.
Randomized, double-blinded, three arm study in adult patients undergoing first time coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery with median sternotomy. The investigators will examine the effects of three fentanyl dosing schemes (high-dose bolus, low-dose bolus, continuous dose) on the area of hyperalgesia and allodynia at 24 and 48h as well as on persisting pain at 3, 6, and 12 months. Additionally, the investigators will measure fentanyl concentrations throughout anesthesia.
Randomised controlled prospective trial with 2 groups (active group with Lumbar plexus block (LPB)-catheter vs control group). In a randomized controlled trial, the investigators will investigate under controlled circumstances the effect of a LPB-catheter placed with ultrasound guided "Shamrock"-technique to improve postoperative pain treatment after unilateral open hip and femoral surgery in paediatric patients. The investigators will investigate the effect on opioid consumption and the reduction of opioid related side effects during the first 24 postoperative hours
the role of transcranial magnetic stimulation over the primary motor cortex area on acute postoperative pain after breast cancer surgery and on the probability of developing chronic neuropathic pain.
The goal of this research was to relate the occurrence of post-endodontic pain after single-visit RCT using Balanced Force technique and two reciprocating system when cryotherapy is used. Methodology: All 216 patients had upper or lower molar, premolar or anterior teeth selected for conventional RCT for prosthetic reasons detected with only vital pulps. Of the sample of 216 teeth, were selected to the 3 instrumentation methods. For hand instrumentation, Balanced Force were used. All canals were clean and shaped with hand Flex-R files (fMoyco/Union Broach, York PA, USA). For mechanical shaping, all instruments were used with a micro motor (VDW, Munich Germany). WaveOne and Reciproc instruments. Final irrigation with cold (6oC) 17% EDTA served as a lubricant.
The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of IV acetaminophen when administered to neurosurgical patients at the beginning and end of their surgery. If the result is improved pain control with less opioid consumption postoperatively, then those patients may also experience less opioid related side effects such as nausea/vomiting, pruritus, and sedation. While numerous other studies have failed to show a benefit of IV acetaminophen after neurosurgical procedures, we are studying the administration of 1 g in two doses over the course of the operation.
The study was performed in patients aged 6-18 years after the Ravitch procedure and thoracotomy. The primary aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pain control provided by the multimodal approach that involves the continuous infusion ropivacaine with fentanyl vs. bupivacaine with fentanyl through thoracic epidural catheter. Secondary aims were to identify the determinants of acute post-operative pain at rest, during deep breathing and coughing.
Random allocation of patients in two groups; Tap block group (T group) and control group (C group). All patients will receive standard general anesthesia and postoperative pain management. The TAP group patient will receive ultrasound guided (US) TAP block with 20 cc of 0.25% of bupivacaine and control group will receive 20cc of normal saline. TAP block in both groups will be performed with US guidance and the study drug will be injected after complete visualization of the needle tip between the internal oblique and the transversus abdominis muscles. Venous blood samples (5 ml for each time) for metabolic and stress hormones, including, Serum cortisol and nor-epinephrine will be collected before anesthesia at the time of cannulation (T1),60 minutes after incision(T2), 6hrs (T3)and 12 h (T4) after the surgery. Postoperatively patient will be put on patient controlled intravenous infusion of nalbuphine
