Filter by:This study was done to evaluate two different interventions for postoperative pain control in patients undergoing hip surgeries. Fifty patients, divided in two equal groups, were included in the study. Patients in Group P were given pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block while those in Group F were given fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB). Pain score, using Numeric Rating scale as a measurement tool, was assessed at one, six, eighteen and twenty fours after the procedure as a primary outcome. Total tramadol consumption in milligrams was recorded as a secondary outcome.
The investigators will examine and analyze opioid narcotic usage patterns by requesting patients keep a two week log of their opioid usage following outpatient hand surgery with a standard analgesic regimen consisting of an opioid, NSAID, and acetaminophen. Following a pre-intervention period, the investigators will add scopolamine to the regimen and have patients monitor their opioid consumption. The investigators will then compare opioid consumption patterns following completion of the study.
This will be a comparative study between two cohorts of patients undergoing Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass. One cohort (75 patients) will receive FDA approved Exparel® (liposome bupivacaine injection solution) injections intra-operatively at time of incision site closure. The control cohort (75 patients) will receive 0.25% bupivacaine injection solution at the time of incision site closure. The medication for the control group is our current standard of care. The primary end point is post-operative pain at 24 and 48 hours measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Comparison will be made between cohorts. All subjects enrolled in the study will be evaluated per nursing protocol with the verbal numerical analog scale. At 24 and 48 hours a member of the research team will administer a 2-part questionnaire containing the VAS and the Revised American Pain Society Post-Operative Questionnaire (APS-POQ-R). The latter is validated for assessment of the patient's experience of pain and it hindrance to daily activity in the post operative period.
The investigators noticed that Body Fat Ratio might have great influence on the efficacy of different lipid soluble anesthetics. The objective of this clinical trial was to compare the effect of that Body Fat Ratio on the efficacy of different lipid soluble anesthetics.
