Filter by:Around 3 out of 4 operations in the UK are performed as day-case, meaning the patient goes home on the same day of their operation. Hospitals usually do not follow up patients after day-case operations so we do not know very much about their short or long-term recovery. Some patients, even those who have had small operations, can develop persistent pain afterwards that continues for a long time (months to years). These patients may end up taking strong painkillers for a long time and this risks serious side effects and long-term health problems. The POPPY study aims to find out what recovery from day-case operations is like from the patient's point of view. We will look at the first week after patients' operations and then at 3 months to see if they are in pain, and if so what pain relief they are taking. All adults over the 5-day study period having day-case operations in the UK, with an anaesthetist, will be eligible if they have access to a smartphone. Patients will be recruited on the day of their operation from over 100 NHS hospitals. Some relevant information about the patient's current health, operation and anaesthetic will be recorded from their notes. Afterwards participants will get a text message at days 1, 3 and 7 and the at 3 months. These will connect to a data secure online questionnaire about pain, recovery, and what medications they are taking. A small number of participants with ongoing pain at 3 months will be invited to take part in a structured interview to understand their experience in more depth. This study will provide important information that may be used to improve care of patients having day-case operations and plan future research studies aimed to prevent persistent pain and long-term use of strong painkillers.
The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of VR on post-operative pain and anxiety management in cardiac surgery patients undergoing a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure. Participants in the intervention group will receive a 20 minute session with the head mounted VR device on post-operative days 1,2 and 3. Participants in the control group will be treated with conventional post-operative care.
Postoperative pain is an important problem, especially for day case surgeries. It has negative effects on patient's hemodynamics and can cause delayed ambulation resulting in prolonged duration of hospital stay and poor patient satisfaction. Multiple analgesic strategies have been proposed including NSAID, opioids, epidural analgesia. Each of them has its limitations. In this study the investigators will compare between the effect of preemptive use of paracetamol plus tramadol versus preemptive intravenous fentanyl in controlling postoperative pain
Minimally invasive applications are seen as the gold standard in today's gynecology practice and are frequently preferred by both patients and physicians. Less pain, shorter hospital stays, and better cosmetic results brought about by minimally invasive applications further increase their preference. One of these approaches is hysteroscopic interventions. Although hysteroscopy is a well-defined method, current research has focused on further reduction of pain. One of these methods is to warm the distention media at body temperature. theTaim of this study was to examine the effect of distention medium temperature on image quality, hyponatremia risk, and post-operative pain in operative hysteroscopy.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of intravenous infusion of lidocaine at different doses (1 mg/kg/h vs. 2 mg/kg/h) in the intraoperative period in patients undergoing lumbar stabilization, whether postoperative pain, postoperative opioid use, opioid-related side effects are reduced, and its effects on intraoperative hemodynamics
The aim of this study is to compare the possible efficacy of baclofen and gabapentin on postoperative pain in patient with morbid obesity who will undergo laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
The goal of this randomized control trial is to in [describe participant population/health conditions]. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is the use of intraoperative subpectoral bupivacaine associated with decreased post-operative pain in adolescent patients who undergo bilateral reduction mammaplasty Participants will be randomized into the study group that intraoperatively receives 20cc of subpectoral bupivacaine injections or into the control group that intraoperatively receives 20cc of injectable saline subpectorally. All participants will keep a pain log and pain medication log at home for the first week following surgery. Researchers will compare to see if patients who receive subpectoral bupivacaine have lower pain scores in the PACU, and lower use of narcotics post-operatively when compared to the control group who receive injectable saline.
Background: Multimodal analgesia for control of postoperative pain in cardiac surgical patients helps in early recovery and ambulation. Pectoral nerve (PECS) block with ropivacaine is novel, less invasive regional analgesic technique with an effect comparable to paravertebral, and thoracic epidural analgesia. Aim: The aim of this study is to assess the effect of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to ropivacaine on the quality and efficiency of the ultra-sound guided pectoralis nerve block in patients undergoing open heart surgery through midline sternotomy for fast-track anesthesia and postoperative analgesia.
Lower abdominal operations; especially inguinal hernia repairs are one of the most frequently performed operations in the daily practice of pediatric surgeries.Regional anesthesia techniques are frequently and effectively used methods in postoperative pain control. Main purpose of this study is to compare the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block and caudal block in pediatric unilateral inguinal hernia operations
It will be a prospective observational cohort study. The investigators will compare post-cesarean section recovery in patients receiving intravenous infusion of tramadol-ondansetron versus epidural catheter with infusion of local anesthetics.
