Filter by:PRF110 is new extended release oily solution formulation of ropivacaine that is intended for local infiltration into surgical wounds. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and early efficacy of PRF110 in bunionectomy surgery, to measure the pharmacokinetic profile of PRF110 over 72 hours and evaluate the duration of analgesia witnessed in the surgical setting.
The main advantage of Quadratus Lumborum Block (QLB) compared to Transversus Abdominalis Plane Block (TAPB) is the impact on visceral pain due to the spread of the local anaesthetic agent to the paravertebral space. It may produce extensive analgesia and better pain control. Previews studies shoved the effectiveness of TAPB in kidney transplantation procedure (KTX) by reducing opioids requirements during and after the operation. QLB was not evaluating in KTX procedure yet, but it reduced postoperative morphine requirement after cesarean section under spinal anaesthesia. The aim of this prospective, randomised controlled, multicenter, clinical study is to compare the perioperative analgesic efficacy of QLB and TAPB in patients who had KTX under balanced (general and regional) anaesthesia.
Dexamethasone Added to Levobupivacaine in Ultrasound-guided Tranversus Abdominis Plain Block Increased the Duration of Postoperative Analgesia After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
The aim of this investigation is to assess the impact of forced air warming, warm humidified insufflation gas and the combination of the two on intraoperative temperature maintenance and the postoperative pain course as well as the fibrinolytic activity in peritoneal fluid following laparoscopic procedures (duration > 60 min) in a prospective, randomized, controlled, mono-centric study. Therefore 150 subjects will be randomized in 3 groups of 50 subjects each. First group will be treated with forced-air warming blanket (bair hugger). Second group will be treated with warmed, humidified insufflation via the F&P HumiGard™ Surgical Humidification System. Third group will be treated with both, warming blankets and warmed, humidified insufflation. The peri-operative temperature of patients might be higher in patients of the third group with the combination of both treatments. The investigators hypothesize that VAS scores for pain (especially shoulder pain), and MEDD usage will differ between groups. Wound infection incidence and time spent in PACU are also expected to differ. Fibrinolytic activity in the peritoneal fluid is expected to be higher in patients undergoing laparoscopic procedures with humidified gas insufflation, since the trauma to the peritoneum will be less.
Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) as well as Direct Lateral Interbody Fusion (DLIF) are established techniques for lumbar interbody fusion. In contrast with posterior approaches, they allow free approach to the anterior disc space without opening of the spinal canal or the neural foramina. However, the additional anterior approach conveys specific concerns, including abdominal pain that may delay recovery after surgery. The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a validated approach for postoperative pain relief following abdominal surgeries. There is currently no evidence of the possible benefits of TAP block as part of multimodal pain management after ALIF/DLIF surgery. The investigator hypothesize that a single-injection TAP block reduces opioid consumption after anterior lumbar fusion surgery. The main goal of this prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to demonstrate a >35% reduction in opioid consumption during the 24h following ALIF/DLIF surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the infiltration of 0.5% Bupivacaine in the surgical wound is effective to diminish the pain and the risk of surgical site infections in patients who go to a open gastrointestinal procedure.
The recent increase in obesity has led to an increase in the need for bariatric surgery. In this group of patients the postoperative pain management is of vital importance. One strategy to improve postoperative analgesia is the use of intraoperative methadone, specially in those patients which regional anesthesia is not feasible. There is evidence that the use of intraoperative methadone can lead to a analgesia lasting 24 to 36 hours, while not associated with increased side effects when compared to other opioids with short or intermediate duration of action. In this study the investigators will evaluate the efficacy of intraoperative methadone in reducing postoperative pain and opioid consumption.
Oral medications like gabapentin and acetaminophen are commonly given to patients prior to surgery to provide balanced anaesthesia. Intravenous methadone has been shown to decrease postoperative pain as well as postoperative nausea and vomiting, which are known barriers to discharge. Oral methadone would be a convenient alternative to give as a preoperative medication with its bioavailability approaching 80%. No clinical trials to date have explored the utility of oral methadone as a preoperative analgesic to improve postoperative outcomes. Current literature shows preoperative IV methadone reduces opioid consumption in the perioperative period for cardiac surgeries; therefore, investigators hypothesize that preoperative oral methadone will also reduce postoperative pain and opioid consumption in patients undergoing sternotomy for cardiac surgery.
Comparing the duration of pain relief from caudal analgesia when adjuncts like dexamethasone, clonidine, or saline (salt water) are added to ropivacaine.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether enlarging the apical foramen causes postoperative pain in teeth with necrotic pulp and apical periodontitis.
