Filter by:This study aimed to evaluate pain after elective colorectal surgery and to identify risk factors for postoperative pain. Patients:All elective colorectal surgeries at the department of surgery, Umeå university Hospital, Umeå, Sweden from March 2013 to April 2017 Primary outcome:The primary outcome measurement is the numeric rating scale (NRS), graded from 0-10, on day of surgery, postoperative (POD) 1, 2, 3. The patients are questioned by nurses each morning on four postoperative days to score the maximum pain during the previous 24 hours using the NRS.
In last years, erector spinae plane block is widely used in abdominal and thoracic surgeries. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical operations. In this study, the investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of erector spina plan block with different injection levels for postoperative analgesia on patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.
Chronic post-operative pain is generally defined by persistent pain more than 2 months after surgery. General reviews on chronic post-operative pain describe an overall incidence of 30%, of which 5 to 10% are described as severe. Different risk factors have been identified: pain and preoperative opioid use, anxiety - depression, catastrophism, type of surgery, intensity and duration of postoperative pain, genetic factors. If postoperative pain is essentially pain caused by excess nociceptive stimulation, investigators realize that a neuropathic component is far from being exceptional and that this can be demonstrated quickly after surgery. In addition, these neuropathic pains respond little or no to the usual analgesics and in particular to opioids, which can be the cause of misuse or death from overdose. Early detection of pain of a neuropathic nature would allow appropriate therapy to be put in place and may therefore reduce the risk of chronic postoperative pain. The concept of ambulatory surgery assumes that postoperative pain will be minimal and can be controlled at home by the administration of oral pain relievers. However, following the development of surgical techniques and the improvement in the quality of care, the number and complexity of procedures that can be performed in ambulatory surgery have increased considerably. Consequently, a significant number of patients will probably develop chronic post-operative pain without the possibility of early detection. The prevalence of chronic post-operative pain in ambulatory surgery has been studied by a single team. The authors conclude that it is underestimated and variable depending on the surgery between 15 and 32%. For the past few years, the GHPSJ has been using an ambulatory surgery algorithm that sends SMS messages to warn and follow up on patients. The principle is simple: patients scheduled for outpatient surgery receive text messages the day before their intervention to remind them of the instructions to be followed and the meeting times and, the day after the operation, the algorithm sends SMS to ask patients if all is well or if they have pain, nausea or vomiting, discharge from the scar. In postoperative monitoring, this technology has shown promising results. This technology has not been used in the screening of persistent pain. The objective of this work is to assess the effectiveness of an SMS algorithm in the early detection of postoperative neuropathic pain after surgery performed on an outpatient basis.
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the incidence of postoperative pain after root canal treatment using different final irrigation protocols. Patients whom need root canal treatment for first time were included. The presence of postoperative pain was assessed after root canal treatment cases at 12, 24, 48, 72 hrs and 1 week.
Inguinal hernia repair (IHR) is one of the most commonly performed operations in general surgery practice. Different pharmacological approaches and interfascial plane blocks are used to control postoperative pain. Erector spinae plane (ESP) block is a relatively new interfascial plane block which was reported to be effective in different types of surgeries. In this study, the primary aim is to assess the effect of ESP on recovery of patients following open IHR surgery.
Adductor canal block (ACB) is a peripheral nerve blockade technique that provides good pain control in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) which however does not relieve posterior knee pain. The recent technique of an ultrasound-guided local anesthetic infiltration of the interspace between popliteal artery and the capsule of posterior knee (IPACK) has shown promising results in providing significant posterior knee analgesia without affecting the motor nerves. The hypothesis was that the combination of ACB + IPACK will provide better pain relief and improve knee function in the immediate postoperative period compared to ACB alone.
Controlling pain after hip replacement surgery improves comfort and partient satisfaction. Pain after hip replacement has traditionally been managed using systemic pain medications including acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. A recent Cochrane review demonstrated that compared to systemic analgesia alone, peripheral nerve blocks reduce postoperative pain with moderate-quality evidence. Pericapsular Nerve Group block is a new technique allowing local anesthetic diffusion to femoral, obturator and accessory obturator nerves and providing a good analgesic effect for hip fracture surgery. Investigators hypothesized that the PENG block could be an interesting alternative to systemic analgesiscs for pain control after total hip replacement.
Patients who meet the enrollment criteria will be randomized 1:1 to either the lidocaine or the placebo group. In the lidocaine group, at the end of the induction of general anesthesia, a bolus injection of lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg, calculated using the patient's ideal body weight and given as an infusion over 10 minutes, followed by a continuous infusion of lidocaine at 1.5 mg/kg per hour for the whole surgical procedure and will be discontinued at the end of surgery. In the placebo group, the same volume of normal saline will be administered during anesthesia.
The study aims to identify specific or potential reasons that prolong the length of hospital stay after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy. The hypothesis is that patients who are still in hospital after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy are associated with prolonged air leak, infection, pneumonia, atrial fibrillation or other complications or social factors.
Recommendation is strong on physical activity (PA) in the prehabilitation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) for various types of surgeries. The evidence is however weak regarding ERAS protocols. Many studies have showed that physical exercise and PA have hypoalgesic effects on healthy individuals and they have better pain tolerance too. Here the investigators study changes in postoperative pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting for various types of surgical patients after performing preoperative PA at moderate or vigorous intensity Vs non-preoperative PA patients.
