This is a retrospective study to compare postoperative pain intensity in patients going laparoscopic colorectal surgery with Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS), without ERAS and open colorectal surgery.
To determine how daily cannabis use affects surgical outcomes.
This study will trial the impact of teaching surgical patients a pain self-management approach to compliment medical post-surgical pain management.
Control of intraoperative and postoperative pain with the use of opioids constitutes normal practice. Opioid free anesthesia (OFA) is a relatively recent anesthesiology practice according to which opioids are not administered during surgery and are avoided postoperatively. Opioid free anesthesia seems to provide better quality of postoperative analgesia while protecting the patient from the side effects of opioids such as respiratory depression, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), opioid induced hyperalgesia and postoperative cognitive dysfunction. The aim of this study is to investigate the possible difference in the intensity of postoperative pain (based on the numeric rating scale 0-10) and the presence of PONV in patients undergoing transurethral urologic surgery under general anesthesia, when patients receive randomly either opioid free anesthesia (OFA) or opioid based anesthesia (OBA).
Assessment of quality of post mastectomy analgesic protocol of Gabapentin and Dexmedetomedine in a placebo-controlled study
When performing laparoscopic appendectomy in children, regional anesthetic techniques are rou-tinely used concomitantly with general anesthesia. These techniques include local infiltration of the trocar wounds or transverse abdominal plane block (TAP block). In 2018, a position paper of the European Society of Pediatric Anaesthesiology advised for TAP block over local infiltration of the trocar wounds. However, there is no randomized study comparing both techniques in children. The aim of this study is to compare morphine consumption during the first 24 postoperative hours in children undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy and randomly allocated to either local infiltration of the trocar wounds or TAP block.
In outpatient hand surgery, 40% of patients report moderate to severe pain within 24 hours of the operation. Effective pain management is therefore essential to ensure a comfortable and safe return home for the patient. Loco-regional anesthesia is the optimal method of analgesia for complex hand surgery. It involves the injection of a local anesthetic (LA) near the nerves responsible for the sensitivity of the arm. Following a single injection of long-acting local anesthetic, the maximum duration of analgesia is limited to approximately 13 hours, with great variability between individuals. In order to provide pain relief over a longer period of time, placing catheters near nerves has become a routine practice at the CHUM. Infraclavicular nerve block is one of the most widely used loco-regional anesthesia techniques for hand surgery. This block can be achieved either by paracoracoid (PC) or costoclavicular (CC) approach. Both approaches are currently used at the CHUM. The PC approach involves inserting a needle under the lower rim of the clavicle below the coracoid process. This approach makes it possible to reach the 3 different nerve bundles, located around the axillary artery, which are involved in the sensitivity of the hand. The CC approach, more recently described, proposes an insertion of the needle under the lower edge of the clavicle but in a lateral way to the axillary artery which makes it possible to reach the nerves at a place where the 3 main nerve bundles are still joined together. The clustering of nerve structures at the injection site may facilitate the spread of local anesthetics. Recent studies have demonstrated that the CC approach requires a smaller volume compared to the PC approach to achieve perineural blockade. The effective dose 90 (ED90) for the CC approach was 19 mL while it is 31 mL for the PC approach. This is explained by the greater proximity between the three nerve bundles targeted in the CC approach and a lower prevalence of anatomical variations at this level. However, studies on the subject are rare and do not allow conclusions to be drawn on the superiority of either approach.
When harvesting autogenous free grafts to treat periodontal conditions (e.g., lack of attached keratinized tissue, ridge defects, and other mucogingival deformities), the hard palate is the preferred donor site. The primary disadvantage of this technique is the creation of a second surgical site. This sacrificial traumatic lesion on the palate is associated with significant post-operative morbidities, including patient discomfort, infection, inflammation, hemorrhage, and necrosis. A pilot, blinded Randomized Control Trial will be conducted with subjects who are treatment planned to receive free gingival graft palatal harvest surgery. The palatal wound donor site for treatment group 1 will not receive an allograft membrane; while the donor site for treatment group 2 will receive an amnion-chorion allograft membrane (BioXclude) secured with a suture. The severity of pain at the palatal wound site will be assessed using an at home survey (Visual Analog Scale, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, & Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Scale). The healing of the palatal donor site will be evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively (PVS impression, optical scan, endoscopy, and ultrasnonography).
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the post-operative pain as primary outcome and the success rate as secondary outcome after pulpotomy using different calcium silicate based materials in mature permanent teeth diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis.
