Filter by:The purpose of our study is to evaluate whether utilizing ultrasound assessment during caudal epidural injection can reliably identify unrecognized and unsuccessful nerve blocks during the procedure, guide proper technique, and alter pain management outcome measurements for patients. Patients will be randomized to a group either undergoing caudal injection by a trainee using typical techniques or by using typical techniques in addition to ultrasound for confirmation of successful injection. The patients enrolled in this study will have the same intraoperative care, in line with the standard of care. Data will be collected intraoperatively and postoperatively on pain scores, time for performance of caudal block, and perceived success of the block. There will be no direct benefit to the patients enrolled in this study, but future patients may benefit from the use of ultrasound for the confirmation of a successful block.
This pilot study will seek to use emotion recognition technology from video to link patient facial expressions, heart rate and respiratory rate changes, and movement patterns to patient pain scores.
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a better method of administering pain medication prior to minimally invasive gynecological surgery so that postoperative pain and/or narcotic usage may be minimized. Currently, no standard of care exists regarding the use of local pain medications in minimally invasive gynecological surgery and practices vary widely among physicians, even within the same institution. The two methods of preemptive pain medication that this study will be looking at is the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and the local injection of pain medication at the areas of the skin incisions. TAP block is a procedure performed by a specially trained pain management anesthesiologist in which there is an injection of a local pain medication into the abdominal wall, specifically in a space where the nerves that are responsible for postoperative pain reside. This procedure blocks the ability of the nerves to sense pain and has been found to be successful in decreasing postoperative pain in a number of procedures. The local injection of pain medications at the incision sites has also been found to be beneficial in decreasing postoperative pain. However, it is not known whether one method is superior to the other in decreasing postoperative pain or if the combination of both is best. Patients that chose to participate are randomly (by chance) assigned to one of three groups: 1) TAP block with pain medication and local injection of normal saline (water) at the incision sites 2) TAP block with normal saline and local injection of pain medication at the incision sites or 3) TAP block with pain medication and local injection of pain medication at the port sites. These procedures are performed while the patient is asleep. Patients will be asked to record their level of pain on a standardized pain scale at one hour, six hours, and twenty-four hours after the surgery. All patients are provided with standard postoperative pain medications as needed. The hypothesis is that patients receiving both TAP block and local injection of pain medication at the port sites will have less pain postoperatively and require a smaller amount of narcotics than those that receive either the TAP block or local injection of pain medication alone.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of intra-operative administration of IV tylenol and/or IV toradol in minimizing post-operative pain for carpal tunnel patients and distal radius fracture patients.
Anal fistula is the most common Peri anal disease. It's a disease with an incidence of 9 in 100,000. Anal fistula is classified on the basis of its location into high and low anal fistula, above or below dentate line respectively. Multiple series have shown that the formation of a fistula tract following anorectal abscess occurs in 7-40% of cases. There are typically 8-10 anal crypt glands at the level of the dentate line in the anal canal arranged circumstantially. These glands afford a path for infecting organisms to reach the intramuscular spaces. The cryptoglandular hypothesis states that an infection begins in the anal canal glands and progresses into the muscular wall of the anal sphincters to cause an anorectal abscess. According to internal opening many author proposed certain classification but the standardized in all of them is Park's classification, so this study categorized the patient through this classification. There are four types of fistula-in-ano in Park's Classification intersphincteric (between internal and external sphincters is 70%), transsphincteric (across external sphincters is 25%), suprasphincteric (over sphincters), and extrasphincteric(above and through levator ani).High anal fistula is considered to be difficult to treat because of its location.This study diagnosed the internal opening of high perianal with the help of endoluminal ultrasound and MRI. Classic method of its treatment are fistulotomy, fistulectomy and Setone placement but these are associated with lots of complication like fecal incontinence,recurrence,pain.Therefore many method have been recently devised including Ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract (Lift), glue repair and flap advancement.Another recently introduced method for its treatment is Video-assisted anal fistula treatment (VAAFT) proposed by P. Meinero which has been associated with less complications.
The purpose of this study is to compare sharp and blunt fascial entry during caesarean section.
This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, multiple-dose, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of up to 3 dosing regimens of Buprenorphine Sublingual (under the tongue) Spray and/or matching placebo in participants with moderate to severe postoperative pain after bunionectomy. The study will comprise 4 periods: the Screening Period, the Surgical Period, the Treatment Period, and the Follow-up Period. Participants will be admitted to the study site on the morning of the scheduled surgery, will remain at the study site until postoperative Day 3 (a total of 3 nights at the study site), and will return for the Follow-up Visit 5 to 9 days after surgery.
This study aims to compare the quality of perioperative analgesia of lidocaine, magnesium sulphate and remifentanil in patients undergoing mastectomy
Aim of the study is to evaluate different regional anesthesia regimes for thoracoscopic surgery to evaluate their efficiency in (postoperative) pain control. Three regional anesthesia forms are evaluated: thoracic epidural anesthesia, (ultrasound-guided) serratus-anterior-plane-block an local infiltration with local anesthetic at the site of performing the thoracoscopy.
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgeries (VATS) include severe postoperative acute pain which is also a predictor of chronic pain. In this study, the investigators aim to compare the postoperative effects of thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) and intravenous patient controlled analgesia (PCA) on the prevention of chronic pain of patients undergoing VATS.
