Filter by:Postoperative analgesia is a critical risk factor for the development of pulmonary and cardiovascular complications in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. If patients with high pain levels cannot breathe effectively, it may lead to atelectasis, cardiac ischemia, and arrhythmias. This prolongs the time it takes for patients to be discharged and increases the frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications and postoperative morbidity. In addition to intravenous medications, various neuraxial and peripheral nerve blocks can be used in cardiac surgery. In recent years, neuraxial anesthesia has been avoided due to the use of intraoperative high-dose heparin. As an alternative, peripheral nerve blocks have recently gained popularity. Parasternal block (PSB) and serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) are very superficial and easy to reach. Recently, in the literature, the number of cases performed with these blocks under ultrasound guidance and the number of randomized controlled prospective studies have increased. With this study, it was aimed to observe the analgesic effects on both the sternum and the drain site by applying PSB and SAPB applications simultaneously in the postoperative analgesia of CABG patients.
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) has begun to be performed frequently in recent years. Compared to sternotomy, MISC reduces the risk of mediastinitis, leaves a more aesthetic scar, facilitates postoperative rehabilitation, and shortens the hospital stay. MICS requires a thoracic incision in the right 4th or 5th intercostal space. This incision causes intense and long-lasting pain in the postoperative period. Pain is exacerbated by breathing movements, coughing, and respiratory physiotherapy. Postoperative analgesia is a critical risk factor for the development of pulmonary and cardiovascular complications in any type of cardiothoracic surgery. If patients with high pain levels cannot breathe effectively, it may lead to atelectasis, cardiac ischemia, and arrhythmias. This prolongs the time it takes for patients to be discharged and increases the frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications and postoperative morbidity. In addition to intravenous medications, various neuraxial and peripheral nerve blocks can be used in cardiac surgery. In recent years, thoracic epidural analgesia has been avoided due to the use of intraoperative high-dose heparin. As an alternative, peripheral nerve blocks have recently gained popularity. SAPB is one of them. SAPB can be applied in three ways. While deep SAPB (DSAPB) is applied under the serratus anterior muscle, superficial SAPB (SSAPB) is applied above the serratus anterior muscle. Combined SAPB (CSAPB) is applied both below and above the serratus anterior muscle. These blocks can be performed with a single injection anywhere between the second and seventh ribs on the lateral chest wall. In this study, the analgesic effects of ultrasound-guided CSAPB application in patients undergoing MICS will be evaluated.
This study thoroughly evaluates the efficacy of acetaminophen mannitol injection for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy, by comparing it with a control group.
The goal of this clinical study is to compare the effectiveness of the Rhomboid Intercostal Block and Sub-Servitus plan block and the effectiveness of the Rhomboid intercostal block in patients with video-supported thoracoscopic surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: Which of these two blocks more effectively reduces the patients' pain?
The aim of this study is to investigate the continuous analgesic effect and side effects of ropivacaine combined with hydromorphone for combined spinal-epidural anesthesia(CSEA) after total knee arthroplasty and to explore its clinical application value. To observe whether hydromorphone combined with ropivacaine can promote the rapid recovery of patients.
I. Research purpose 1.1 Main Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of bupivacaine liposome thoracic paravertebral nerve block combined with drainage tube analgesia for postoperative analgesia after thoracoscopic lobectomy 1.2 Secondary objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of drainage tube analgesia after thoracoscopic lobectomy 1.3 Exploratory Objective: To investigate the noninferiority of bupivacaine liposomes in thoracic paravertebral nerve block with standard bupivacaine
Patients with Supratentorial tumor undergoing craniotomy have a higher risk of postoperative pain, which will affect their postoperative quality of recovery (QoR). Although scalp nerve block (SNB) can alleviate postoperative pain, the effect on postoperative QoR in patients with supratentorial tumor undergoing craniotomy is still unclear. This study is aimed to explore the effect of SNB on postoperative QoR in this population. To explore the effect, we design a randomized controlled trial in which 84 patients with supratentorial tumor will be randomly assigned to either the SNB group or control group. The primary outcome is 15-item QoR score at 24 h after surgery. The secondary outcomes include 15-item QoR scores at 72 h after surgery, Riker Sedation-Agitation Scale, nausea and vomiting, intraoperative opioids and propofol consumption, perioperative heart rate and mean artery pressure, the duration of anesthesia and surgery, time to extubation, PACU duration, the length of postoperative days, adverse events within 72h and total medical expenses.
Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) refers to pain that occurs or increases after surgery and lasts longer than 3 months. Severe acute postoperative pain is one of the major risk factors of CPSP. Spinal correction surgery is associated with severe pain due to large trauma and long duration. Ketamine and esketamine are N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists; they have antihyperalgesic effects and may reduce CPSP. Dexmedetomidine is an alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist with sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic effect; it is frequently used as an adjuvant to postoperative analgesia. In a previous trial of 200 patients after scoliosis correction surgery, mini-dose esketamine-dexmedetomidine in combination with opioids significantly improved analgesia and sleep quality but did not reduce CPSP. The authors speculate that increasing esketamine dose in the combination may further improve analgesia and, therefore, reduce the occurrence of CPSP.
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive procedure to remove stones from the kidney by a small puncture wound through the skin. Patients receiving lidocaine infusion had lower pain scores, reduced postoperative analgesic requirements and decreased intraoperative anesthetic requirements. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) seems to be effective when compared with no block or a placebo block.
Scoliosis correction surgery is associated with severe pain. Patients after scoliosis correction surgery usually require high dose opioids and long duration analgesia, which may increase side effects and drug tolerance. In a recent trial, mini-dose esketamine and dexmedetomidine combination as a supplement to sufentanil significantly improved analgesia and subjective sleep quality after spinal correction surgery without increasing adverse events; however, the proportion of patients with moderate-to-severe pain remained high. The authors speculate that increasing esketamine dose in the combination may further improve analgesic effects.
