Filter by:Intravenous lidocaine - a potent local anesthetic with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties has been shown to be an effective adjunct that reduces intra and postoperative opioid consumption and facilitates pain management in adults. In children population promising but limited evidence is available. The study was planned to evaluate the efficacy of continuous intravenous infusion of lidocaine to reduce opioid consumption during and after laparoscopic appendectomy in children.
Quadratus lumborum (QL) block can reduce intraoperative opioid consumption, decrease inflammation responses of IL-6, and reduce acute pain intensity in comparison with non-receiving QL block as the control group.
To determine if Exparel (Liposomal Bupivacaine, an FDA approved drug) use in ultrasound guided Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) blocks may reduce opioid requirement use postoperatively, reduce pain scores postoperatively, reduce incidence of nausea in the postop period, and decrease length of hospital stay
The specific aim of this randomized double-blind clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of intraoperative infiltration of liposomal bupivacaine at the time of posterior colporrhaphy and/or perineorrhaphy on postsurgical pain scores during the first 72 hours after surgery as measured by visual analog scales (VAS) for patients undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. Study subjects are randomized to 30 mL of liposomal bupivacaine versus 30 mL of injectable normal saline administered in a standardized technique into the posterior vaginal compartment at the time of posterior repair and/or perineorrhaphy.
prospective, randomized double blinded study to investigate the effects of morphine as an adjuvant to ropivacaine on FICB
This is an investigator-initiated, Danish mono-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, double-blind, superiority trial of dexamethasone on postoperative pain management on patients undergoing operation for hip dysplasia with the periacetabular osteotomy procedure (PAO). 90 adults undergoing PAO will be enrolled. The primary outcome is to compare the effect of dexamethasone relative to placebo on cumulated postoperative morphine consumption at 48 hours. Key secondary outcomes include comparing the effect of repeated doses of dexamethasone relative to a single dose on cumulated postoperative morphine consumption at 48 hours, and to determine if dexamethasone is superior to placebo for: Perception of pain intensity, prevalence and degree of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and patient-reported outcome measures.
Erector Spinae Plane Block is a newly defined regional anesthesia technique. Its use for many indications has been identified by case reports in the literature. As the investigators have considered that erector spinae plane block could be efficacious for providing postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the investigators have implemented the application of this blockade into practice at the clinic.Quadratus Lumborum block (QLB) type 2 is another regional anesthesia technic used for postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Main purpose of this study is to compare the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided erector spinae block and QLB in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional conscious experience, associated with actual or potential tissue damage. Nociception is the sympathetic response to noxious stimuli during unconsciousness. The appearance of different forms of chronic pain results from sensitization of both peripheral and central neural circuits of pain, which involves inflammatory mechanisms both at a systemic level and specifically in the peripheric and central nervous system, as observed through elevation of specific neuroinflammatory mediators, such as MCP-1, IL-1, IL-1b, and IL-10. Clinically, this sensitization expresses as hyperalgesia and allodynia, which increase postoperative pain and morbidity, but also induce permanent modifications in the nociceptive system. These effects may be ameliorated by adequately adjusting intraoperative analgesia through use of nociception/analgesia balance monitors, of which Nociception Level Index (NOL) shows convenient characteristics and promising results from previous studies. Objectives: The goal of our study is to assess the utility of NOL index monitoring against standard care for Fentanyl-based analgesia by measuring postoperative pain, sensorial thresholds and inflammatory markers related to nociception. Hypothesis: The use of NOL index to guide the intraoperative analgesia will produce less postoperative pain, hyperalgesia, allodynia, and neuroinflammation.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of PECS block applied to patients undergoing bilateral breast reduction surgery on postoperative analgesia compared to local infiltration anesthesia.
It has been demonstrated that infants and children experience pain in a similar manner to adults, however it used to be undertreated when compared to adult. Perfusion Index (PI) derived from pulse plethysmography waveform, represents a ratio of pulsatile signal (during arterial inflow) to non-pulsatile signal. PI can represent the peripheral perfusion dynamics due to change of peripheral vasomotor tone. Low PI values suggest peripheral vasoconstriction and high PI values suggest peripheral vasodilation. The sympathetic nervous system is inherently involved in the pathophysiological responses evoked by painful stimulation. In the current study, investigators hypothesise that the PI could be a good objective tool for assessment of postoperative pain in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy.
