Filter by:Fifty two children of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I and II, aged 8-14 years old, of both gender, with suspected acute appendicitis scheduled for laparoscopic appendicectomy, were included in this study. Patients were randomized into group (B) and group (BD) with a 1:1 allocation ratio.At the end of surgery, and after peritoneal lavage, those patients who were allocated to B group (bupivacaine group; n = 26) received bupivacaine 0.25% intraperitoneally at a dose of 2 mg/kg followed by 5 ml normal saline. However, in group BD (bupivacaine, Dexmedetomidine group; n = 26), bupivacaine 0.25% at a dose of 2mg/kg was instilled intraperitoneally followed by dexmedetomidine 1mcg/kg diluted in 5 ml normal saline. In the postoperative period, assessments were made for pain and sedation on awakening in PACU (0 time) and at 2, 4, 6, 12,and 24 h. Abdominal and/or shoulder pain was assessed on the 10-cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Sedation was assessed using the Ramsay sedation score. Also the occurrence of nausea or vomiting was recorded . The time from extubation to the first administration of pethidine was registered. The consumption of postoperative analgesia was recorded. Side effects of the study drugs were assessed and recorded by the ward nurses for 24h postoperatively. Possible complications such as respiratory depression, allergic reactions, local anaesthetic toxicity,dizziness, , headache, were recorded and managed accordingly. Duration of surgery and length of stay in PACU were noted. Before discharge to home, length of stay in the hospital was recorded and parent's satisfaction was assessed using the 7‑point Likert scale
To determine if levator muscle block with bupivacaine improves postoperative pain control relative to placebo controls among women undergoing prolapse surgery involving a posterior colporrhaphy. Improvement is defined as no less than a 25% lower total pain score on a ten point numerical pain scale.
Adenotonsillectomy is one of the most common ambulatory surgical procedures performed to children. Tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy have a high incidence of postoperative pain. There is still debate about the optimal analgesia for this common surgical procedure. Different methods have been described and used to reduce pain including; improved intraoperative anesthetic pain regimens, use of corticosteroids, adjustment of surgical technique, and intraoperative local anesthetic injection. Intraoperative local anesthetic is a preventive or preemptive analgesia which is the analgesia given before painful stimuli to prevent the subsequent pain. The main goal of the preventive analgesia is the pain relief with minimum side effects. The role of local anesthetic infiltration in the reduction of postadenotonsillectomy pain is still controversial. The objective of this study is to investigate and compare the effectiveness of preincisional peritonsillar infiltration of ketamine and tramadol for post-operative pain on children following adenotonsillectomy. This is prospective, double-blinded randomized study.
Assessment of postoperative pain after root canal treatment using different rotary systems.
Nervous, anxiety, fear and other psychological reactions always appears in parturients during cesarean section. This study intends to investigate the effectiveness and safety of dexmedetomidine combined with butorphanol tartrate for postoperative analgesia and breastfeeding after caesarean section.
The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is most often used to provide surgical anesthesia for minor, superficial procedures on the lower abdominal wall, or postoperative analgesia for procedures below the umbilicus providing anesthesia to the ipsilateral lower abdomen below the umbilicus. In a recent meta-analysis, the TAP block was shown to reduce the need for postoperative opioid use, increase the time to the first request for further analgesia, and provide more effective pain relief, while decreasing opioid-related side effects such as sedation and postoperative nausea and vomiting. The provision of effective postoperative analgesia is of key importance to facilitate early ambulation and prevention of postoperative morbidity. The analgesic regimen needs to meet the goals of providing safe, effective analgesia, with minimal side effects. Many additives to local anesthetics used to prolong the duration of analgesia for peripheral nerve blocks have been studied as dexamethasone, dexmedetomidine Dexmedetomidine is a lipophilic α2 agonist derivative with a higher affinity for α2-receptors than clonidine (α2: α1 specificity ratio is 200:1 for clonidine and 1600:1 for dexmedetomidine). It has sedative, analgesic, and sympatholytic effects that blunt many of the cardiovascular responses seen during the perioperative period. Animal and human studies have shown safety and efficacy of adding dexmedetomidine to local anesthetics in various regional anesthetic procedures. The addition of dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine in TAP block achieves better local anesthesia and provides better pain control postoperatively without any major side-effects. Dexamethasone is a systemic glucocorticoid that improves the quality of recovery after surgery by reducing pain, nausea, and vomiting. When added to local anesthetics as an adjuvant in peripheral blocks, it prolongs the analgesia time. Mechanism of action may be through the anti-inflammatory action, the increase of the local efficiency, and to slow down of the absorption. Objective: The objective is to compare and evaluate efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone as a local anesthetic adjuvant to bupivacaine in ultrasound-guided TAP block for patients scheduled for total abdominal hysterectomies.
Is to evaluate the influence of the calcium hydroxide / chlorhexidine combination and calcium hydroxide alone as an intra-canal medication in postoperative flare-up in two visits endodontic retreatment cases
This study will evaluate two different analgesic regimen used for acute postoperative pain.
The purpose of this study is to describe the biopsychosocial impact of caregivers in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, total hip arthroplasty, and cervical/thoracic/lumbar spine surgery.Defining such impacts may offer opportunities to enhance caregiver capability to provide care following surgery on a loved one.
this prospective in vivo randomized clinical is to evaluate the post operative pain (incidence ,degree and duration) with multiple full rotation file (protaper next ®) and single full rotation file (Neolix®) in treating maxillary and mandibular anterior and premolar with chronic pulpitis .Together with our aim from this trial ; we are trying to provide an evidence for the dentists in order to provide the best quality service with the least expenses and thus gaining the patients' trust and saving time, money and effort.
