Filter by:The purpose of the intraoperative use of opioids is to reduce the amount of sedative medication and to ensure effective analgesia. But pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience (a cognitive perception) that cannot occur with sufficient depth of anesthesia (even without opioids). So a more reasonable explanation for analgesia should be anti-nociception and the resulting inhibition of the response to surgical stress. Since multiple mediators are involved in nociceptive pathways, antinociception can also be acquired through multiple mechanisms. However, there is no single ideal harm drug to replace opioids, which often requires two or more drugs to meet clinical needs. While regional block attenuates the stress response to surgery and sympathetic activation because of afferents to block nociceptive stimuli, and has an important role in the implementation of OFA. Combined with the clinical characteristics of the LSG, investigators developed the transverse abdominis fascia block (transversus abdominis plane TAP) in combination with esketamine (esketamine), dexmedetomidine (dexmedetomidine, DEX) of opioid-free anesthesia (opioid free anesthesia, OFA) and the analgesic regimen (TEDOFA), Reduce patient pain scores, nausea and vomiting after LSG based on perfect analgesia and adequate anti-sympathetic response, As well as the other complications, Promote the accelerated postoperative recovery of patients undergoing LSG, And reduce the incidence and severity of postoperative chronic pain.
In this study, it was aimed to compare the use of sugammadex instead of neostigmine + atropine in the reversal of NMB in children undergoing lower abdominal surgery or urogenital surgery, and to compare the rates of postoperative agitation, nausea and vomiting using the FLACC scale, PAED scale and ICC parameters.After the approval of the local ethics committee and written consent from the family, patients who underwent ASA 1, 5-12 years old lower abdomen surgery or urogenital surgery in Pendik Training and Research Hospital will be included in the study. The patients included in the study will be those who were maintained with routine 2-3% sevoflurane inhalation anesthetic and 0.2mcg/kg/min remifentanil intravenous anesthetic, and decurarized with 0.5-1 mg/kg rocuronium. No drugs other than those administered by the responsible Anesthesiologist during the operation will be administered. The patients included in the study will be divided into 2 groups according to the agent used in decurarization. There is no condition for the number of patients in the group to be equal. Group N; neostigmine+atropine, GROUP S; This will be the group of patients decurarized with sugammadex. 0-45 days after patients are extubated. And at the 2nd hour, FLACC Scale (Pain Diagnostic Scale), PAED (Pediatric Anesthesia Recovery Delirium) Scale assessment methods will be compared in terms of pain and agitation. Nausea and vomiting will be noted as yes/no.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) was defined by the American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses (ASPAN) as nausea and/or vomiting in the first 24 hours after surgery and is among the most common complications after pain in patients undergoing surgery. PONV is divided into three as early, late, and delayed. Nausea-vomiting developing within 2-6 hours after surgery is classified as early, nausea-vomiting developing within 6-24 hours after surgery is classified as delayed, and nausea and/or vomiting developing within the first 24 hours after surgery are classified as delayed PONV. PONV increases the length of stay in the recovery room, delays starting oral intake, causes fluid and electrolyte imbalance, and causes pain, dehydration, delayed wound healing, decreased patient comfort, prolonged hospitalization, and increased cost. Therefore, the prevention and management of nausea and vomiting in the perioperative period in surgical patients are very important.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), represents a common condition after surgery and anesthesia. Acupuncture has been used for centuries for analgesia and quality of life improvement in addition to low cost. This study is a random control trial concerning the antiemetic efficacy of acupuncture associated with intravenous antiemetics in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, in comparison to patients under only antiemetic administration. One hundred patients were enrolled, regardless of their sex, age, and comorbidity and were randomly allocated in one of two groups. Both anesthesia and antiemetic medication were personalized according to each patient's medical history. In the study group, after anesthesia induction and before pneumoperitoneum application, a sterile stainless steel 0,25 x 25mm acupuncture needle was inserted bilaterally at the PC6 for 20 minutes, rotated manually clockwise and then anticlockwise every 5 minutes and then removed. Fisher's exact test was chosen for statistic evaluation. There were 8 PONV cases in the study group against 18 cases in the control group. Fisher's exact test highlighted a p-value of P=0,03, marking the difference between the two groups as statistically significant. Concluding, acupuncture presents a remarkable action against PONV after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LPC). Another remarkable trait of acupuncture is the safety that it offers during application without provoking severe adverse effects. Furthermore, reduced medical costs thanks to decreased postoperative use of antiemetic medication, decreased patients' hospitalization, and reduced re-hospitalization possibility have to be noted. Finally, it has to be mentioned that despite LPC is in general terms painless, the analgesic effects of acupuncture should not be disregarded
Point-of-care gastric ultrasound will be used to measure stomach contents postoperative in patients who underwent colorectal surgery. Stomach volume and status (empty or full) will be compared retrospectively to the standard clinical criteria for diet advancement to determine if stomach volume via ultrasound is associated with successful diet advancement, nausea/vomiting, nasogastric tube replacement, length of stay, and other clinical outcomes. Clinicians performing clinical care will be blinded to the ultrasound exam results.
The study has been designed as a prospective randomized clinical trial. Due to the use of a bispectral (BIS) monitor in the interventional arm, the study will not be blinded for the anesthetist. The total planned number of study subjects is 100. Patients will be randomly randomized upon arrival to the operating theatre (using the envelope method) into the interventional arm (BIS monitoring of the depth of general anesthesia), and into the control group (standard management of general anesthesia to minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) 1,0). The target values of the depth of general anesthesia according to BIS are between 40 and 60.
Previous history of nausea and vomiting induced by prior chemotherapy still not included as predictive factor of postoperative nausea and vomiting, although has been demonstrated that has influence in postoperative outcome. The project aims to evaluate the efficacy of a simplified algorithm in prevention postoperative nausea and vomiting , with pacients with previous history of nausea and vomiting induced by prior chemotherapy, submitted to medium or large surgery.
Opioid free anesthesia is an anesthetic technique, in which administration of multimodal analgesia and sympathicolytics provides hemodynamic stability without use of opioids. Such management may be beneficial to the obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Our study aims to compare opioid free anesthesia in such patients with standard, short-acting opioid based.
In the present study, midazolam and palonosetron in combination were more effective than palonosetron alone in lowering the incidence and severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting in the initial 2 h after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Postoperative clinical complications were not different in both groups.
The purpose of the study is to determine if providing coffee to patients who self-identify as coffee drinkers postoperatively will decrease the length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU).
