Filter by:This prospective, randomized, double-blinded study is designed to evaluate the postoperative analgesic effect of the intravenous acetaminophen/ibuprofen fixed-dose combination in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). We hypothesize that the intravenous acetaminophen/ibuprofen fixed-dose combination can significantly reduce postoperative opioid consumption and pain severity in patients with VATS.
Laryngeal nerve monitoring is performed to prevent intraoperative nerve damage in thyroidectomy operations. NIM-EMG intubation tube is used while monitoring the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Care should be taken when placing this tube. Ensure that the electrodes on the tube are in contact with the vocal cords. Both the macintosh laryngoscope and the videolaryngoscope can be used when inserting the NIM-EMG tube. The aim of our study is to compare these two intubation methods.
To investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral nerve block on postoperative acute and chronic pain and cognitive function in elderly patients with thoracoscopic partial lung resection.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of Ketorolac versus Paracetamol as an adjunct to Nalbuphine in the management of post-operative pain following elective cardiac surgery. STUDY DESIGN: Randomized (single-blind) control trial. SAMPLING TECHNIQUE: Computer generated, randomized selection of patients with 50% probability of assignment into either group. PLACE AND STUDY DURATION: (single center) SICU at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases Hospital, Karachi over a period of six months, from January 1, 2021 up to June 30, 2021. METHODS: Sixty patients (30 in each group) were randomly assigned to receive either Paracetamol (control) or Ketorolac (treatment), along with the usual Nalbuphine infusion, over the first 48 hours postoperatively. The control group received injection Paracetamol 1gm six hourly, whereas treatment group received injection Ketorolac 30mg eight hourly. PRIMARY OUTCOME: The VAS (pain score) was evaluated at 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours post-extubation and a score of 4 or less was taken as a cut-off for adequate pain control. SECONDARY OUTCOMES: The time taken to extubation postoperatively. The total dose of Nalbuphine administered to each patient and total chest tube drainage recorded over 48 hours postoperatively.
Obesity has become one of the world's leading health problems. It is known that obesity causes many diseases and negatively affects the quality of life. For this reason, many conditions that are thought to be effective in obesity and concern the quality of life of patients have been scientifically researched and continue to be investigated. One of them is postoperative pain. Although there are studies stating that there is no relationship between body mass index (BMI) and postoperative pain, when the literature data is examined, it is thought that obesity is a risk factor for postoperative pain and changes pain sensitivity and analgesic needs of patients. There are also studies in the literature stating that the level of postoperative pain increases in parallel with each unit increase in BMI. After thoracic surgery, many analgesic methods have been suggested, including thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA), thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB), intercostal nerve blocks (ICSB), erector spina plane block (ESPB), serratus anterior plane block (SAPB). This study will compare the effects of BMI on postoperative pain in patients undergoing TPVB for postoperative analgesia and thoracoscopic surgery.
This study aim is to measure the time of extubation in patients receiving ultrasound guided bilateral Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block after cardiac surgery .
In recent years, it is known that the use of complementary approaches, which are accepted as a safe and effective method for maintaining health and well-being, providing relaxation/relaxation, and reducing the effects of illness, has been increasing. It is reported that massage, which originates from an instinctive need for touch and is one of the oldest treatment methods, was first described in China in the second century BC and immediately after in India and Egypt, and was widely used by other early cultures such as Arabs, Greeks, Italians and Romans. In papyruses, on rocks, and in ancient oral stories dating back 15,000 years, there is evidence of the use of hands to provide comfort and healing. It is stated that foot massage, which is one of the most frequently used massage types today, has been applied in different parts of the world such as Egypt, India and China for thousands of years. In addition to pharmacological methods, non-pharmacological complementary and alternative treatment methods are also used in the control of pain due to reasons such as dissatisfaction with traditional treatment methods, reluctance to use invasive procedures and daily analgesics, and the toxic effects of drugs. Massage provides relaxation both physically and mentally. It is thought to reduce edema by accelerating circulation, muscle tension and anxiety by the stimuli reaching the spinal cord, and pain sensation by stimulating peripheral sensory receptors.
Visceral pain (VP) following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy remains a substantial problem. VP is associated with autonomic symptoms, especially nausea and vomiting, and is unresponsive to traditional pain management algorithms aimed at alleviating somatic (incisional) pain. The present study was performed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic paragastric autonomic neural blockade (PG-ANB) in managing the symptoms associated with VP following sleeve gastrectomy.
Major lumbar spine surgeries are associated with severe postoperative pain that usually lasts for at least 3 days.Caudal epidural analgesia has a crucial role in providing effective pain relief post lumbar spine surgeries by blocking sensory input at the level of the spinal cord. Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) as a new technique of trunk fascia block was proposed in 2016Reports showed that ESPB significantly relieved postoperative pain in patients with lumbosacral spine surgery, reducing the use of analgesics. The aim of this work is to evaluate the pre-emptive analgesic effect of Ultrasound guided bilateral erector spinae block Vs Caudal epidural analgesia in Lumbar spine surgeries during peri-operative period. Objectives: - To assess the duration of analgesia in both groups and time to rescue analgesia . - To assess Visual analogue scale (VAS) score in both groups. - To assess complications of both groups
Maxillo-mandibular osteotomy is a painful surgery which requires mostly opioids use. Recent studies on maxillary and mandibular nerve blocks have suggested benefit in maxillo-facial surgery but have been poorly investigated in orthognathic surgery. This study is designed to evaluate analgesic effectiveness, through opioids consumption, of a bilateral double ultra-sound guided nerve blocks (maxillar and mandibular nerve) in maxillo-mandibular osteotomy.
