Filter by:Interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB) constitutes the analgesic criterion standard for shoulder surgery. However, it is associated with a high incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis (HDP) that may not be tolerated by patients with chronic pulmonary disease. Continuous ISBs have not avoided this complication with the reported and regularly used local anesthetic dilutions (i.e. 0.125% bupivacaine, 0.25% ropivacaine, etc). This observational study will register the incidence of HDP in continuous interscalene block (CISB) using a very diluted solution of levobupivacaine (0.04%) in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The main objective of this study is to determine the frequency of HDP the first postoperative day before patient discharge(POD).
Open abdominal and pelvic surgery or thoracotomy (open chest surgery) is frequently performed for tumor excision in children. Post-operative pain management regimens are often at the discretions of the attending surgeon and may include opiods, patient administered analgesia (PCA), epidural catheters, subcutaneous analgesia catheters or NSAIDS to control incisional pain. Currently, both epidural or subcutaneous analgesia catheters (On-Q pumps) are commonly used for children undergoing these operations, at the discretion of the surgeon. There are no studies comparing these regimens in children. The purpose of this study is to compare postoperative pain control of the two strategies.
Do ultrasound-guided genicular nerve blocks with 0.5% bupivacaine provide improved knee analgesia for patients recovering from total knee replacement surgery compared to saline injection? Hypotheses: The investigators hypothesize that the combination of ultrasound-guided adductor canal block (ACB) and genicular nerve block will achieve lower opioid consumption and therefore lead to decreased systemic side effects and improved overall satisfaction compared to ultrasound-guided saline injection for patients undergoing minimally invasive elective total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Medasense's Pain Monitoring Device (PMD) is a novel non-invasive, bedside stand alone, continuous monitor that is designed to provide real-time information about changes in the nociception level of patients under general anesthesia during surgical procedures. The PMD-200 System is based on real-time data acquisition and processing of physiological signals. The system displays the NOL index (a single numerical index) which is computed from recorded physiological parameters based on a proprietary algorithm.
To see whether the addition of buprenorphone to local anesthesia will lengthen postoperative analgesia for endodontic pain
Evaluating analgesic effect of intraoperative magnesium sulfate infusion in the outpatient surgery case
This study will be a double-blinded randomized controlled trial analyzing all patients who will undergo major lower extremity amputations by the vascular surgery service at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Fresno between July 2017 and June 2018 to determine if regional nerve blocks (sciatic and femoral) have any effect on postoperative pain control, narcotic requirements, and length of stay compared with standard post-operative narcotic regimens.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of intrathecal oxytocin on speed of reduction in pain for the first 60 days after hip surgery.
This is a Phase 3 clinical trial to compare the safety and efficacy of SyB P-1501 with the SyB P-1501 placebo for the management of the first 24 hours of post-operative pain.
With this research the investigators hope to determine the lowest dose of ropivacaine used in transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks that can effectively treat pain in women after cesarean section (c-section).
