Filter by:The aim of the study is to compare the effect of a repeat moderate dose of glucocorticoids postoperatively after preoperative high dose upon postoperative pain after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) in an High Pain Respondes (HPR) population to a standard single high dose systemic preoperative administration in an HPR population. As a standard procedure, all patients referred to the outpatient clinic due to suspected degenerative knee disease will be asked to fulfill the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS). If TKA is decided, patients with a PCS score above 20 will be treated with intravenously administered Dexamethasone 1 mg/kg as a rounded-up-dose to closest 10 mg according to our guideline for FAST-TRACK TKA. The repeat-dosing group (RDG) will receive a dose of 24 mg dexamethasone tablets at 9-11 pm on the first postoperative day. The control-group (CG) will receive placebo tablets at 9-11 pm on the first postoperative day.
The role of a single dose of intraoperative clonidine on postoperative opioid requirements, pain intensity and opioid-related side effects in patients undergoing surgical treatment for endometriosis remains scarcely explored. A prospective double-blind, randomised controlled trial investigating the effect of a single-dose of intraoperative clonidine in patients undergoing surgical treatment for endometriosis is therefore conducted.
Corrective cardiac surgeries include a bundle of major surgeries that take place in pediatric patients and require imperative perioperative pain control; hence, the art of healing starts from trying to diminish or abolish pain. The use of highly potent opioids for paediatric cardiac anaesthesia has gained widespread popularity during the last 20 years . In addition to the important advantage of hemodynamic stability, the large-dose opioid-based anaesthetic techniques also blunt the stress response; however, large doses can cause over sedation, respiratory depression and prolonged mechanical ventilation after surgery . There are many ways to limit pain in such population with the topper potent opioids in the last several years. But new regional pain management modalities started to arise because of their known effect to diminish neuroendocrine stress response, provide excellent postoperative analgesia, and facilitate early postoperative extubation . Of the new evolving methods, the bilateral Transversus Thoracic Muscle Plane Block (TTPB) provides analgesia to the anterior chest wall and proved to be efficient in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery using a median sternotomy approach . The bilateral Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) is also one of the recently known pain controlling techniques used in pediatric cardiac surgeries. It became popular because it is much safer and easily administered than other alternative regional techniques as thoracic paravertebral and thoracic epidural block .
Abdominal wall hernias are common, with a prevalence of 1.7% for all ages and 4% for those aged over 45 years. Inguinal hernias account for 75% of abdominal wall hernias, with a lifetime risk of 27% in men and 3% in women. Repair of inguinal hernia is one of the most common operations in general surgery
Postoperative pain status of patients who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Anal fistula is an abnormal tract communicating an external opening in the perianal skin with an internal opening in the anal canal. Anal fistula is treated by fistulotomy . sphincter sparing procedures are usually done under general anesthesia omitting neuromuscular blocking agents in order to preserve sphincter tone intraoperatively. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of caudal block analgesia versus perianal block analgesia combined with general anesthesia on the postoperative analgesic profile and the tone of external anal sphincter in sphincter sparing surgery.
This randomized, controlled study is designed to assess the quality of analgesia provided by ultrasound-guided bilateral pectointercostal facial block in children undergoing cardiac surgery via midline sternotomy.
A double-blind randomized control study to compare the efficacy of dexmedetomidine versus ketamine as an adjuvant in combination with bupivacaine ultrasound-guided ESP block in patients scheduled for cardiothoracic surgeries with thoracotomy incision.
The postoperative pain management after cesarean section under spinal anestheisa is done using various modalities. The commonly used regimens are systemic NSAIDs/Opioids, USG guided TAP block or Intrathecal additive Fentanyl or combined intrathecal fentanyl and USG guided TAP block. Investigators aim to compare the postoperative analgesia in terms of time to the first rescue analgesic in parturients receiving intrathecal additive fentanyl only, or intrathecal fentanyl with USG guided TAP block or USG guided TAP block alone for elective CS done under hyperbaric bupivacaine spinal anesthesia.
Buprenorphine intravenous, sublingual, and transdermal patches have been researched for their antihyperalgesic effects, although peripherally mediated effects have not been examined in Egypt surprisingly
