Filter by:Random allocation of patients in two groups; Tap block group (T group) and control group (C group). All patients will receive standard general anesthesia and postoperative pain management. The TAP group patient will receive ultrasound guided (US) TAP block with 20 cc of 0.25% of bupivacaine and control group will receive 20cc of normal saline. TAP block in both groups will be performed with US guidance and the study drug will be injected after complete visualization of the needle tip between the internal oblique and the transversus abdominis muscles. Venous blood samples (5 ml for each time) for metabolic and stress hormones, including, Serum cortisol and nor-epinephrine will be collected before anesthesia at the time of cannulation (T1),60 minutes after incision(T2), 6hrs (T3)and 12 h (T4) after the surgery. Postoperatively patient will be put on patient controlled intravenous infusion of nalbuphine
Recent evidence has shown that the onset and intensity of post-operative pain are significantly related to the amount of residual pneumoperitoneum at the end of the surgical procedure. In addition, the use of low pressures of carbon dioxide (CO2) for induction of the pnemoperitoneum has been associated with a reduction in post-operative pain, probably due to a lower abdominal distension and a consequent reduced compression of the pelvic, abdominal and sub-diaphragmatic pain nerve fibers. The reduction of the residual pnemoperitoneum at the end of the surgical procedure could therefore play a key role in the reduction of post-operative pain, with consequent greater comfort for the patient and reduction of the use of analgesics. In view of the available evidence, the aim of the present study is to evaluate whether the application of Jackson-Pratt drain, for one hour from the end of the surgical procedure, can significantly reduce post-operative pain and the need of analgesics in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery.
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) is frequently used today for renal stones. percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) procedure has become the treatment of choice for many patients with symptomatic renal stones . Patients undergoing PNL suffer from acute postoperative pain, despite a multimodal analgesic regime. This is a randomised controlled trial efficacy of the anterior Quadratus Lumborum Block (QLB) in terms of analgesic efficacy in patients who undergo percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
There was a study titled "A prospective evaluation of opioid utilization after upper extremity surgical procedures: Identifying consumption patterns and determining prescribing guidelines" by Dr. Matzon and team from Thomas Jefferson University that came up with a simple set of opioid guidelines post-surgically. These guidelines are helping to guide surgeon's prescribing patterns and ideally limit the number of prescribed pain medicines. We plan to identify typical narcotic analgesic usage post sports orthopaedic surgery. We hope to identify the number of narcotic pain pills to prescribe to patients undergoing orthopaedic sports surgery in the future.
Quadratus lumborum block can be used for the hip surgery and abdominal surgery postoperative analgesia. But the lower thoracic to the hip dermatome can't be blocked at the same time. The anesthetists used the same method, but had produced the different dermatome were blocked. The investigators hypothesized that this was due to local anesthetics was injected to different locations of the anterior thoracolumbar fascia. If the investigators inject local anesthetics to the anterior layer of thoracolumbar extrafascial, this produced the dermatomal coverage from lower abdominal to hip. A different situation was when the investigators injected local anesthetics to anterior thoracolumbar subfascia, the lower thoracic dermatome were blocked.
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 application of this blockade into practice at the clinic. Main purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of ultrasound guided erector spinae block in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
This study compares the intraoperative opioid free anesthesia approach in multilevel spine posterior instrumentation surgery to a conventional opioid-based anesthesia. Half of participants will receive opioid free anesthesia with dexmedetomidine, lidocaine and ketamine while the other half will receive opioid based anesthesia with fentanyl, remi-fentanyl and ketamine
Postoperative analgesia in breast surgery is a difficult and overworked issue due to extensive surgery and complex innervation of the breast. Erector spinae plane block (ESB) is a new defined regional anesthesia technique for thoracic analgesia.Main purpose of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of ultrasound guided double injection ESB in breast surgery.
Patients scheduled for minimally invasive mitral valve replacement. Each patient will be treated with intravenous (i.v.) oxycodone - patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). Half of the patients will be randomly allocated to Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) blockade group.
The aim of this randomized trial is to assess the efficacy of preventive analgesia using different peribulbar blocks (PBB) under SPI-guided anaesthesia for vitreoretinal surgery (VRS), presence of PONV (postoperative nausea and vomiting) and oculocardiac reflex (OCR) and compare Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) with Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) for monitoring pain perception postoperatively. Patients will receive general anaesthesia combined with either preventive PBB using either lidocaine with bupivacaine or bupivacaine or ropivacaine
