Filter by:The aim of this study is to figure out the efficacy of dexamethasone addition to bupivacaine versus bupivacaine alone in bilateral erector spinae plane block on postoperative analgesia after pediatric cardiac surgeries
The management of postpartum pain is essential to ensure early rehabilitation for parturients. Intravenous dexamethasone has a potent analgesic action when used in the context of general anesthesia. Nevertheless, it remains poorly studied in combination with spinal anesthesia (SA). The aim of this study was to assess the analgesic effect of intravenous dexamethasone after caesarean section under SA. Methods: We conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study including 84 ASA II-III parturient at term who were proposed for caesarean section under SA. Parturient were randomized into two groups: Dexamethasone group (DG) who received 8mg of intravenous dexamethasone (2ml) immediately after SA and placebo group (PG) who received 2ml of isotonic saline. The analgesic protocol was standardized and we opted for Tramadol as rescue analgesic. The main outcome is the use of Tramadol in the first 24 hours postpartum..
Pain control after surgery is a crucial component of postoperative recovery. Thus, in open abdominal surgery, the use of TEA (Thoracic epidural analgesia) has become a gold standard. However, analgesia may still remain a challenge, especially in patients with large incision abdominal incisions. To address this problem, the use of the PIEB (Programmed intermittent epidural bolus) mode has been proposed, because it offers a better spread of the epidural medication. Only a few studies have evaluated the superiority of this PIEB mode in open abdominal surgery, yielding conflicting results. However, PIEB showed to be at least as effective in controlling pain as CEI, and clinical experience shows that it can be a valuable tool, especially in patients with a large laparotomy incision. However, the optimal dosage of the PIEB mode has never been determined, Furthermore, it is known whether men and women have the same dosage needs to achieve adequate analgesia since most studies have failed to account for sex-based differences in postoperative analgesia. Hence, the main objective of this study will be to determine the optimal volume dose of the PIEB delivered at a fixed interval of 60 min in patients undergoing surgery using a large midline laparotomy incision. The optimal dose for male and female patients will be determined separately by evaluating men and women in two independent groups. We hypothesize that the optimal dose of the PIEB that will provide effective analgesia in 90% of patients on the first postoperative day will range between 5 and 10 mL, for both groups. The primary outcome in both groups is successful analgesia. It is defined as a requirement of 5 or less patient-controlled epidural boluses between 8 AM and 8 PM on the first postoperative day. Secondary outcomes will be the incidence of motor block and hypotension, comparison of the level of sensory block according to group, comparison of patient satisfaction according to group and comparison of Quality of Recovery-15 score at 48h post-op according to group.

Assessment and management for improved wellbeing after elective surgery (PERISCOP³E-Care) Diagnostic assessment tool evaluation and cut-off determination for participation in a transmural perioperative care program
The proposed research is an important extension of an ongoing perioperative personalized analgesia and intravenous opioid pharmacogenetic research. This research focuses on two of the most commonly used oral opioid analgesics, oxycodone, and methadone, in adults following thoracic surgery. Major inpatient thoracic surgeries (TS) for lung disease are common and extremely painful surgeries and are associated with sever post-surgical pain, high incidence of chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP), excess opioid use, costly immediate postoperative opioid adverse events (AEs), and long hospital stays. This study is aiming to develop proactive risk prediction algorithms for precision surgical pain relief in adult TS patients through comparison of actual clinical outcomes with standard of care to predicted outcomes based on personalized risk assessments.
Comparing the effect of Simvastatin versus calcium hydroxide used as an intracanal medicament on Post-operative Pain and Total amount of IL-6 and IL-8 in Periapical Fluids of lower premolars in patients with Symptomatic Apical Periodontitis:
Post-operative analgetic modalities vary between center to center, especially in Indonesia. Considerations include potency/effectivity of the analgetics to achieve adequate pain control as soon as possible, reducing the total opioid dose intake and overall reducing potential opioid adverse effects. NSAID have been known to have more adverse effects than acetaminophen (paracetamol) but offers a higher potency for analgetic effects. Here the investigators compare whether paracetamol is adequate as a post-operative analgetics and confers fewer overall adverse effects when compared with ketorolac (NSAID)
The most common symptom after an inguinal hernia is postoperative pain. According to the severity of the pain, the quality of life of the patient is also affected. There are many factors associated with postoperative pain. In this study, the results related to the factors affecting postoperative pain were investigated.
Hysterectomy is the second most common major Obstetric/gynecology procedure worldwide and one of the most common procedures in our institute. Post-operative pain is one of the most common complications following hysterectomy. Patients report moderate to severe pain following hysterectomy. Transversus abdominis plane block(TAP) is an established technique for abdominal and pelvic analgesia. Although efficient as an analgesic technique, it lacks visceral analgesia.Erector spinae plane block (ESP) is one of the newer developed regional techniques. Initially developed for Thoracic Neuropathic Pain by Forero et al, its use has expanded to include thoracic, abdominal and even femoral and below knee operative pain management. Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the ESP block with the TAP block for postoperative pain management in cases undergoing Total abdominal hysterectomy. Methods: A hospital based randomized, prospective, interventional study will be performed on all consenting patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy under general anesthesia. The required number of participants will be selected by probability sampling. Fourty four female participants posted for elective Total abdominal hysterectomy under general anesthesia will be randomized onto two groups. The process of randomisation will be via computer generated randomization sequence.Each of the group will receive either of the two intervention after the completion of operative procedure. The post operative anelgesia duration and NRS score will be compared between the two groups. Approval will be taken from the Institutional Review Committee (IRC) of Institute of Medicine. Written consent will be taken prior to the data collection. Data will be entered in Microsoft Excel and errors will be checked. The clean data will be transferred into SPSS v 20 for analysis The results will be presented in terms of frequency percentage and table The associations will be established.
