Filter by:The aim of study is to assess the effect of intraoperative use of magnesium sulfate in liver donating patients in reducing post-operative morphine requirements in early postoperative 24 hour in adult living liver donor.The authors hypothesize that magnesium sulfate can be used to efficiently reduce postoperative morphine consumption in the early 24 hours postoperatively as evident in other surgery types.
Balanced anesthesia needs optimization of hypnotic, relaxant, and narcotic. Administration of hypnotic drugs can be monitored by bispectral index score (BIS), while the dosage of muscle relaxants can be guided by train-of four (TOF). However, administration of narcotics lacks objective monitor. Overdosage of narcotic may lead to delayed awakening, while underdosage may lead to high degree of postoperative pain. Recently, there is a monitor, Analgesic Nociceptive Index (ANI) monitor, designed to guide the administration of narcotics. There are many descriptive studies supporting the correlation of ANI score and pain score but there are still very few randomized control studies which report the efficacy of ANI in clinical practice.
A randomized clinical trial that evaluates the effect of using 980nm diode laser intracanal irradiation on postoperative pain and root canal disinfection in endodontic retreatment cases with chronic periapical lesions
Burn injuries are painful to patients and the sources of pain result from many areas including: the injury itself, wound care, and surgery. Inpatients that require surgical skin grafting is often required and the donor site of a skin graft is quite painful for patients. The investigators try to minimize that pain with local anesthetic as well as a combination of pain medications, the donor site pain lasts for days and is what patients often report as being the most painful part of their burn care. There has been the development of a new form of local anesthesia that can last up to 72 hours when injected into tissue. Based on encouraging results in the literature in areas outside of burns, this study aims to evaluate whether administration of this medication at the time of surgery can help improve pain for burn patients in the postoperative period.
Objective: The objective of this study will be to evaluate the effectiveness of different endodontic treatment techniques in postoperative symptoms, apical repair, longevity of rehabilitations, and oral health-related quality of life. Methods: This prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical study was approved at the Research Ethics Committee (nº 2.353.996) and will consist of a sample of 350 patients who will be attended in the clinics of the Federal University of Fluminense/Institute of Health of Nova Friburgo (UFF/ISNF), in which they will be selected based on eligibility criteria. Patients aged up to 18 years, with teeth with necrotic pulps and radiographic evidence of periapical lesion will be included. These patients will be randomly divided into 8 groups: I (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, lateral condensation filling with MTA Fillapex; II (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, photobiomodulation (aPDT and LLLT), lateral condensation filling with MTA Fillapex; III (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, chlorhexidine as irrigant, lateral condensation filling with MTA fillapex; IV (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, lateral condensation filling with AH Plus; V (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, cryotherapy with saline solution, lateral condensation filling with MTA Fillapex; VI (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, cryotherapy with saline solution, lateral condensation filling with AH Plus; VII (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, ozone therapy, lateral condensation filling with MTA Fillapex; VIII (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, ozone therapy, lateral condensation filling with AH Plus; IX (35 patients): molars will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, conventional irrigation with sodium hypochlorite, lateral condensation filling with MTA fillapex; X (35 patients): molars will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, passive ultrasonic irrigation with sodium hypochlorite, lateral condensation filling with MTA fillapex. The analysis of the postoperative symptoms will be performed by the visual analog pain scale at 1th, 2th, 3th, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 14th and 30th days and by the clinical evaluation of edema in 48 and 72 hours. The periapical lesion repair will be evaluated clinically and radiographically at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. The longevity of rehabilitations will be performed clinically and radiographically for 24 months. In addition, patients will respond a quality of life questionnaire (OHIP-14) on the day of endodontic treatment, on the 7th day and on the 30th day. Data analysis: The data will be inserted into a statistical program (SPSS), obtaining the frequencies of the characterization variables of the sample. The appropriate tests will be used to compare the means of the groups.
This study is divided to two sub-studies. First sub-study evaluates if Serratus Anterior Plane block (SAPB) reduces opioid consumption after thoracoscopic surgery. Secondly continuous SAPB is compared to continuous intercostal blockade. Second sub-study evaluates if Subpectoral Interfascial Plane block (SIP) reduces opioid consumption after medial sternotomy.
Patient suffer from moderate posterior knee pain after TKA despite injection of local anesthetic around the femoral or saphenous nerves. Indeed, the posterior part of the knee is innervated by the sciatic nerve. This nerve is not routinely blocked as clinicians fear to produce a motor block of the leg that might impair the postoperative assessment. An analgesic alternative is the infiltration of the knee with local anesthetics performed by the surgeon. Recently a trial(1) demonstrated that a selective tibial nerve block provides an effective analgesia without a motor blockage when compared with a sciatic nerve block. The objective of this randomized controlled double-blinded trial is to assess whether a tibial nerve block is more effective for the postoperative pain than local infiltration analgesia when there are combined with an adductor canal block, without decreasing the functional parameters.
The introduction of Acute Pain Service (APS), 1985, specialized pain management could be offered to the inpatient care. An example of this is patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), which is a technique that is used mostly after surgery. A PCA pump is an electronic pump that is prepared with pain relief medicine, usually an opioid, which is administered either epidural or intravenously. PCA pumps are programmed with medical protocols. For prevent overdose, there are blocking times between possible bolus doses and a maximum dose per hour. In a Cochrane review from 2015, PCA have shown to be more beneficial for the patient especially when it comes to patient satisfaction, compared to conventional pain relief where nurses administer pain relief on request. The authors could also demonstrate that patients experience less pain and were more satisfied with patient-controlled analgesia. However, studies have showing limitations in the ease of practice of the PCA pumps, which indicates need for further development. Today the major part of the documentation in the Swedish healthcare is computerized. Using digital systems that communicate with each other should be seen as a matter of course. Instead, a human intermediator is commonly used where documentation is performed by pencil and paper. Due to the human factor that may affect the interpretation of the information the patient safety is placed at risk. The elimination of the human intermediator could lead to a safer transfer of information. There are already studies concerning computerized PCA pumps and wireless communication by medical devices, but only studies that are conducted outside of Europe and studies with the technical aspect in focus. Studies have shown that wireless communication by medical devices in the nursing setting can provide support for prioritization and increase the patient safety. However, the field of research lacks of knowledge when it comes to the patients' and nurses' experience of using PCA pumps with wireless communication system. Due to today's research field, further studies will be needed to investigate how documentation can be safeguarded and how accessible information regarding patients' need for pain relief can be linked to prescribed treatment. This may also lead to the development of nurses' way of work with patient-controlled and epidural pain relief in the postoperative pain management.
