Filter by:Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated with considerable postoperative pain and surgeon-administered local anesthetic infiltration is the standard practice for achieving post-operative analgesia. However, recent studies have shown that pediatric patients continue to experience significant pain during the first 24 hours. The investigators plan to conduct a prospective, double-blinded, randomized study where patients will be designated into either a test group receiving an ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) and rectus sheath (RS) blocks with ropivacaine and peri-portal sterile saline or the control group that will receive ultrasound-guided TAP block with sterile saline and peri-portal infiltration of ropivacaine. The anesthesia team and surgical team will both be blinded as well as the research personal in the postoperative period. Patients age 5-17 and American Society of Anesthesiology status I and II undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be included. The study hypothesis is that ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks, specifically single shot transversus abdominis plane and rectus sheath blocks, are superior to local wound infiltration during laparoscopic cholecystectomy for decreasing postoperative pain and pain related behavior and facilitating functional recovery.
The objective of this study is to see how pain management and its outcomes are effected when pharmacogenomic testing is used to determine patient specific pain medication and dosing. Our goal is to determine if through the use of analgesic genetic testing, TKA post-operative patients will see a decrease in narcotic consumption, postsurgical opioid- related adverse reactions, and length of stay, overall NRS pain scores and while maintaining or improving their satisfaction scores.
The aim of this study was to investigate if using lasers instead of scalpel for flap advancement in bone augmentation procedures would reduce post-operative swelling and pain.
This is a clinical study to investigate and compare a new programmed intermittent bolus (PIB) delivery method for continuous popliteal sciatic nerve block for pain relief in patients undergoing major ankle surgery compared with the current practice of continuous local anesthetic infusion (CI).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the postoperative pain after general anesthesia of orbital diseases and ocular tumor patients.
In cases of benign adnexal mass laparoscopic surgery, women were randomized to two groups: transumbilical vs. transabdominal removal. Need for pain medication, postoperative pain and patients´ satisfaction were assessed between the groups, as well as surgeons´ opinions and costs.
The purpose of the investigators' study is to assess the efficacy of a single dose of preoperative gabapentin within an enhanced recovery after surgery protocol in acute postoperative pain reduction for women undergoing a minimally invasive hysterectomy. Participants who consent to participate will be randomized to either a control group without gabapentin or to a study arm and receive gabapentin 600 mg prior to their planned surgery. The investigators will collect data on postoperative narcotic use, subjective pain as rated by a numeric pain scale, in addition to any adverse effects of single dose gabapentin use.
This study is designed to evaluate pain control of continuous adductor canal blocks placed proximally versus distally within the canal. The investigators hypothesize that there will be similar pain control between both groups.
Dexamethasone has an evidence-based indication in postoperative emesis prophylaxy and as a antiinflammatory steroid. Although the perineural administration is off-label, several studies recognised its analgetic action as an adjuvant for peripheral nerves blockade, permitting to reduce the concentration of the local anesthetics and extending the sensory and motor block.Questions remain concerning the mechanism of action, optimal dose, the lack/degree of toxicity and the comparison with intravenous administration.The aim of this prospective randomized controlled study is to investigate the efficacy of analgesia with 4 mg or 2 mg Dexamethasone added to a combination of ropivacaine 0,5% and lidocaine 1% in vertical infraclavicular blockade (VIB) anesthesia for upper limb surgery.
The study investigates the effect of a ultrasound-guided subsartorial saphenous block on postoperative pain following major ankle and hind foot surgery.
