Filter by: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.
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.
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.
Caudal analgesia with ropivacaine is commonly used in sub-umbilical pediatric surgery. However, increasing the dosage of ropivacaine has not been found to prolong the action significantly while complications will be serious. Ketamine as an additive to caudal administration had been shown to prolong the duration of postoperative analgesia, while the analgesic effectiveness of S-ketamine, the S(+)-enantiomer of ketamine with less possibility to induce psychomotor disturbances, is not clear. In this prospective randomized double-blind clinical trial , the investigators aimed to study the effect of S-ketamine as additive on the duration of caudal analgesia.
Summary: Pain control after hip surgery is quite important for patients' recovery. Many regional techniques are available with the focus on motor sparing block to speed patient recovery. The investigators will compare pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block in addition to local skin infiltration to PENG block alone. The study population will be included for patient traumatic hip surgery. The study population will be divided into group. First group will receive PENG block and local anaesthetics infiltration and second group will receive PENG block. Our primary outcome is to compare numeric rating scale (NRS) between studied groups, and morphine requirements in the first 24 hours as a secondary outcome.
Thoracotomy is one of the most painful operations known. Therefore, it causes severe acute pain. If pain is not controlled, it increases the frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications and postoperative morbidity. It can even cause chronic pain in the future. Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) is the gold standard method in the treatment of pain after thoracotomy. Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) is known as the most effective method after TEA. The fact that TPVB has fewer side effects than TEA increases the use of TPVB. There is no consensus on the dose of analgesia in studies. In the literature, volumes between 20 ml and 30 ml are frequently used for TPVB in recent years. This study, it was aimed to compare the efficacy of 20 ml, 25 ml, and 30 ml volumes of TPVB with local anesthetic at the same concentration (0.25% bupivacaine) on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing thoracotomy.
To investigate the clinical application of ultrasound-guided continuous low serratus anterior plane block in open surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of duloxetine in controlling pain after radical mastectomy.
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of Ultrasound-Guided Pecto-Intercostal Fascial Block versus Transversus Thoracis Muscle Plane Block on Postoperative Pain Analgesia in Cardiac Surgery
Despite opioid-based multimodal analgesia, moderate-to-severe pain remains a big problem in patients following multi-segment spinal fusion. As a N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, S-ketamine has prominent analgesic effects through activating receptors both in the brain and in the spinal cord, inhibiting the excitatory postsynaptic potential, and thus blunting nociception transmission. This randomized controlled trial is designed to investigate whether perioperative S-ketamine infusion can decrease pain intensity after major spine fusion surgery.
