Filter by:The enhanced recovery after surgery and laparoscopic approach have been proven beneficial in surgery of the colon. However, patients have still pain, nausea and vomiting postoperatively. Postoperative pain is an expected but undesirable effect after an operation. This study will compare Transabdominis Plane (TAP) Block and Quadratus Lumborum (QL) Block with the common postoperative treatment with enteral and parenteral analgesics.
The erector spinae plane block has been recently described as an effective analgesic postoperative pain treatment in case reports. It consists of injecting local anaesthetics below the erector spinae muscle, at the level of the transverse processes, in order to anaesthetize the thoracic roots coming out from the spinal cord. However, the analgesic efficacy has never been demonstrated in a randomized controlled trial. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the analgesic benefit of this block on patients scheduled for thoracoscopy.
In dentistry, one of the most common surgical procedures is the removal of included third molars. This surgery generates great morbidity to patients for causing pain, edema and trismus due to surgical trauma. The use of photobiomodulation (PBM) (low-power laser or light emitting diode - LED) in the postoperative of these procedures has shown excellent results in the control of postoperative sequelae. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of PBM with LED in the control of pain, facial edema, trismus and quality of life resulting from the extraction of retained lower third molars. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving 34 adult patients, who search the Discipline of Buccomaxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology (CTBMF) II of FO-UFRGS for the removal of included lower third molars will be conducted. Before and after the surgeries, the facial and mouth opening measurements of all patients will be done. Immediately after the surgeries, the patients will be randomized by means of envelopes in two groups. In the LED group the patients will receive daily LED applications (intra oral with 660nm and extra oral with 850nm) from the immediate postoperative to 7 days after the surgical procedure. In the control group the patients will be treated in the same way as in the LED group, however, the person in charge of the application will simulate intraoral and extraoral irradiation with the LED kept off. Pain (EVA and NRS-101), postoperative edema, trismus, temperature, dysphagia and hematomas, as well as the impact of the surgical procedure on patients' quality of life will be evaluated after 1, 2, 5 and 7 days. For the analysis of the oral health impact profile (OHIP-14 Questionnaire) and anxiety analysis (Beck anxiety inventory -BAI) the questionnaires will be applied preoperatively and 7 days after treatment. Initial descriptive analyzes will be performed considering all variables measured in the study, both quantitative (mean and standard deviation) and qualitative (frequencies and percentages). Later, the appropriate statistical tests will be applied for each specific analysis. In all tests, the significance level of 5% probability or the corresponding p-value will be adopted. All analyzes will be performed using the statistical software SAS for Windows, version 9.1.3.
Association between venipuncture pain and postoperative pain
Double-blinded randomized control study investigating intrathecal morphine as an additive to spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing elective total knee arthroplasty. The investigators aim to include a total of 120 patients, randomized to two equal groups. Participants in the intervention group are administered intrathecal 0,2mg morphine and 12,5mg bupivacaine for spinal anaesthesia. Participants in the placebo group are administered 12.5mg bupivacaine and saline to match the volume of intervention goup. Primary end points are opioid consumption and possible adverse effects.
The primary indication for superior hypogastric plexus (SHP) block is visceral pelvic pain, most commonly from malignancy of the ovary, uterus, cervix, bladder, rectum or prostate. Per-cutaneous SHP blocks should be done under guidance of ultrasonography, fluoroscopy, magnetic resonance or computed tomography. During minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, percutaneous technique can be done under the guidance of cameras.
This study evaluates the correlation between NoL index response to standardized stimulus under general anesthesia and the post-operative pain, assessed by opioid consumption and numerical pain scores after video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS).
The aim of this randomized trial is to assess the efficacy of preventive analgesia using different peribulbar blocks (PBB) under SPI-guided anaesthesia for vitreoretinal surgery (VRS), presence of PONV (postoperative nausea and vomiting) and oculocardiac reflex (OCR) and compare Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) with Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) for monitoring pain perception postoperatively. Patients will receive general anaesthesia combined with either preventive PBB using either lidocaine with bupivacaine or bupivacaine or ropivacaine
Objective of the study is to compare three different analgesic techniques in patients undergoing laparoscopic colon resections: peridural catheter, patient controlled analgesia of endovenous morphine and patient controlled analgesia of sufentanil sublingual tablets.
Using random case assignment to investigate the analgesic and sedative effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine and dexmedetomidine as a local anesthetic adjuvant in ultrasound-guided subcostal TAP block in gastric cancer patient undergoing gastrectomy or partial gastrectomy.
