Filter by:This is a retrospective chart review using TriHealth Electronic Privacy Identification Center (EPIC) and previously developed databases for TriHealth Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved research studies within the Division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery to determine the predictors of postoperative pain specific to the urogynecologic patient population.
In this double blind study, after taking an informed consent, 60 children aged between 7 and 12 years old assigned for tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy will be randomly divided into three groups. The first group 30 children will receive 0.025 mg/kg midazolam IV followed by 0.1 mg/kg morphine as a premedication 20 to 30 min before surgical incision. In the second group30 children who will receive the same dose of midazolam followed by saline premedication. All groups will be compared for pain score using visual analog scale (VAS) after recovery and hourly for 8 hours and during first drinking. Heart rate (HR), blood pressure and peripheral oxygen saturation (SPO2) will be recorded before premedication, every 10 min after premedication then every 5 min during and after anesthesia. 6 point sedation score and 4 points behavioral score will be monitored every 5 min after sedation. Four-point wake-up score will be recorded every 5 min. Time of first analgesic requirement and total morphine consumption during the first post-operative 8 hours will be recorded.
Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a novel type of peripheral nerve block that involves innervations of the anterolateral abdominal wall derived from T6-L1.It provides adequate post-operative pain relieve following the various abdominal surgeries. Theoretically, TAP block may replace the need for epidural analgesia after abdominal operations. The oblique subcostal approach of the TAP (OSTAP) block, which was de¬scribed by (Hebbard et al, 2010) , has been reported to provide analgesia to the entire anterior abdomen.
The aim of this randomized trial is to assess the efficacy of SPI-directed analgesia for vitreoretinal surgeries (VRS), presence of PONV and oculocardiac reflex (OCR) and compare Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) with Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) for monitoring pain perception postoperatively. Patients received general anaesthesia alone or combined with either preemptive analgesia using topical solution of 0,5% proxymetacaine or peribulbar block (0,5% bupivacaine with 2% lidokaine) or preemptive intravenous infusion of 1,0 g of metamizol or preemptive intravenous infusion of acetaminophen in a doseof 10-15mg/kg of body weight.
The purpose of this study is to compare the analgesic profile of modified pectoral nerves block and serratus plane block in patients undergoing mastectomy.
The investigators will perform a prospective randomized study to compare the effectiveness of laparoscopic-guided abdominal wall nerve blocks with local wound site infiltration and with ultrasounded guided abdominal wall blocks.
Major abdominal surgeries are associated with severe abdominal pain, which can affect respiratory and cardiac functions, if insufficiently managed. This increases the incidence of post-operative morbidity. The objective of this study was to detect the efficacy and safety of magnesium sulphate as an adjuvant to the analgesia offered by local anesthetic in ultrasound guided TAP block in patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy.
There is an increasing trend on decreasing narcotic use and maximizing efficiency in the perioperative care. There are no studies that have compared a TAP block versus a TAP block plus gabapentin for laparoscopic procures.This study will investigate if taking gabapentin and receiving a TAP block decrease post-operative morphine consumption. It will be a randomized controlled, double blind study, with 130 patients between 18-60 years; that will undergo laparoscopic GYN procedures. Secondary outcomes will look at the incidence of nausea, vomiting, and VAS (verbal analog scale) scores. This combination may be helpful because gabapentin will be used to decrease visceral and central pain, and TAP block will decrease somatic pain. Performing a multimodal approach may decrease narcotic consumption, adverse effects and improve pain management.
Patient satisfaction with healthcare is increasingly being utilized as a metric to reflect provider and hospital quality of care. Furthermore, at the core of a healthcare team and healthcare system is the desire to provide patients with the best possible care in order to achieve the best possible outcomes. Providers have the duty to identify areas of needed improvement within the domains of treatment. An area of need that is ubiquitous within medicine is pain control; in this case acute postoperative pain control is the targeted condition. Studies have already shown that better control of acute postoperative pain leads to shortened hospital stays, reduced hospital costs and patient morbidity, improved patient satisfaction and a reduced likelihood of developing chronic pain. Research within the field of pain management has definitively revealed that a combination of different medication regimens can control acute postoperative pain better than narcotics alone. In particular, the medication gabapentin has been shown to improve acute postop pain in many kinds of surgical settings, and it is a safe medication with arguably fewer side effects than narcotics. The investigators know that certain groups of post surgical otolaryngology patients can be at risk for high levels of postoperative pain. Given all of this information, physicians have a responsibility to utilize medications such as gabapentin to do a better job of controlling patient's pain. This investigation is a quality improvement project designed to elucidate the benefits of gabapentin in pain management in patients undergoing surgery of the head and neck mucosal surfaces. It will provide much needed data in an understudied population and ultimately will improve the practice of pain management, patient satisfaction and quality of care delivered in the Barnes otolaryngology department.
The present clinical study will be undertaken to compare study between the effect of atracurium with lidocaine versus addition of magnesium sulphate to the same doses with lidocaine administrated alone in IntraVenous Regional Anaesthesia to access motor block, sensory block, tourniquet pain and post operative analgesia .Also assessment of patient and surgeon satisfaction .
