Filter by:The patients will be allocated to 2 groups: the LMA group and the endotracheal tube (ET) group. Airway management will be done with the LMA Protector for the patients of the LMA group and with the classic endotracheal tube for the patients of the ET group. The main purpose of the study is to determine if the application of the LMA Protector causes less laryngopharyngeal symptoms than the endotracheal tube after minimally invasive thyroidectomy. The secondary purpose is to confirm that the LMA Protector is a safe alternative airway management device for minimally invasive thyroidectomy.
The study aims to improve the care of the obstetric population after cesarean section and improve total patient satisfaction by improving post-surgical pain control with the use of dexamethasone in combination with bilateral TAP blocks. The investigators will utilize a dose-escalation of dexamethasone in the TAP block to observe its effects at specific small doses. It is the hope of the investigator that the studied technique would become utilized routinely for the obstetric population following cesarean section. The investigators hope to show that the addition of dexamethasone in bilateral TAP blocks will prolong the duration of the block in a dose-dependent fashion. The investigators hope to improve post-operative pain following cesarean section, increase duration of TAP block with use of dexamethasone, decrease overall pain scores in the first 24-48 hours, and decrease opioid requirements after cesarean section. The primary endpoint will be estimation of duration of TAP block, being assessed within 48 hours after surgery. Secondary endpoints will include pain scores both in PACU and on the floor, average pain scores, time until first opioid administration, total opioid consumption in first 48 hours, use of PONV medications, and overall patient satisfaction.
Recruited patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis are assigned to interventional (XP Endo Finisher file) and control group(ultrasonic activated irrigation) to undergo single visit endodontic treatment and record postoperative pain afterwards.
Currently, there are no studies that address the optimum dosage of lidocaine for surgical procedures. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that is injected to induce anesthesia. Improper or inefficient pain treatment can lead to longer hospital stay, and adverse side effects such as nausea and vomiting. Opioids are the primary drug to treat moderate to severe pain, but are also responsible for nausea and other side effects. Lidocaine has shown to have opioid sparing effects; meaning less opioid use is necessary for pain relief. In this study, we will conduct a clinical trial to assess the difference between different lidocaine dosage schedules to determine the optimum dosage that brings maximum pain relief while minimizing adverse side effects and patient stay. A large benefit in using lidocaine is its documented opioid sparing which allows for minimal drug treatment.
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of excised surface area/body surface area ratio and location of excision on the postoperative pain after nevi excision in children. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of excised surface area/body surface area ratio and location of excision on the emergence excitation after nevi excision in children.
This project will evaluate the integration of lavender essential oil in surgical patients during the perioperative and postoperative phase of care. The study will assess patients' pain, sleep quality, and mood. The goal is to support that lavender oil will decrease pain scores and narcotic use, increase sleep quality, and decrease anxiety by improving overall patient satisfaction and supporting their natural sense of well being. This research project will help support the use of complementary medicine in a hospital setting. The increased awareness and use of complementary medicine in a hospital setting will strengthen the patient centered care model that all hospitals strive to achieve.
Aim 1: To determine the effectiveness of perioperatively administered ketamine to decrease acute and persistent postmastectomy pain (PPMP). Hypothesis 1.1: Patients undergoing partial or total mastectomy treated with a bolus and perioperative infusion of the NMDA-receptor antagonist ketamine will have decreased postoperative pain and opioid utilization compared to those receiving saline control. Hypothesis 1.2: Patients undergoing partial or total mastectomy treated with a bolus and perioperative infusion of the NMDA-receptor antagonist ketamine will have decreased persistent postoperative pain measured at one year after surgery. Aim 2: To determine whether there is increased power to detect therapeutic effectiveness in an interventional preventive trial, by enrichment with patients at high risk of PPMP. Hypothesis 2.1: Ketamine will have a greater analgesic and opioid sparing effect on pain scores in high-risk patients than non-high risk patients, compared to placebo. Hypothesis 2.2: Ketamine will have a greater preventive effect on pain burden scores at one year after surgery in high-risk patients than non-high risk patients, compared to placebo.
The aim of the current study is to compare a newly introduced material which is a combination of triple mix antibiotics paste and anti-hyperlipidemia drug simvastatin, the new material is named 3MIX-TATIN & will be compared to triple antibiotic paste for management of necrotic primary molars by using lesion sterilization and tissue repair LSTR technique.
In this double blinded randomized placebo-controlled trial, 160 subjects scheduled for breast surgery involving the axilla will be administered a multimodal pain regimen including acetaminophen, dexamethasone, celecoxib, and gabapentin. 80 subjects will also receive a Pectoral Nerve blocks I and II (PECS I and II block) preoperatively.
This is a prospective descriptive correlational design looking to characterize postoperative pain variables across various procedures that historically have significant levels of persistent post-surgical pain
