Filter by:The investigators used a retrospective review of 251 SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) positive patients' cesarean section anesthesia to determine the rate of failed spinal anesthesia, management techniques for failed block, and risk factors that contribute to failure in this study.
To compare the two different approaches of infraclavicular brachial plexus block in forearm, wrist and hand surgery in terms of perfusion index, tissue oxygenation, sensory and motor block onset time and total effect time, first analgesic time, side effects and complications, and duration of block application.
Awake thoracic surgery is a feasible and safe alternative to general anesthesia for pulmonary biopsy in interstitial lung disease patients, but there is still no evidence as to its superiority in terms of outcome. However, there is extensive literature about the effect of anesthetic drugs and surgery on diaphragmatic function. Furthermore, in thoracic surgery, diaphragmatic dysfunction was associated with a higher occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications. To assess the impact of general anesthesia on diaphragmatic function, the investigators conducted an observational prospective trial. The investigators measured both diaphragmatic excursion and Thickening Fraction at baseline and 12 hours after surgery together with pulmonary function tests and gas exchange data.
Fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) has been considered the block of choice for patients with hip fracture. However, pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block, one of the relatively newly-developed blocks, could be also used for analgesia in patients with hip fracture. Since PENG block could block the accessory obturator nerve, PENG block might have greater analgesic effects compared to FICB theoretically. However, the comparison of these two blocks in patients with hip fracture has not performed in clinical setting. Thus, we aimed to compare the analgesic effect of PENG block and FICB.
This study is comparing the effect of lumbar plexus block and fascia iliaca block with general anesthesia to provide perioperative pain control and compare their effects on hemodynamics
Hypospadias repair is a urological surgical operation that is very painful in the postoperative period and requires long-term analgesia. A dorsal penial nerve block (DPNB) and pudendal nerve block (PNB), which are regional anesthesia techniques for this operation, are used to provide postoperative analgesia.
The challenge to achieve adequate analgesia has led to the development of directed, multi-modal protocols specific to management of post-laparoscopy pain in effort to decrease the amount of additional administration of narcotic medication. While several non-opioid regiments have been found to be effective, opioid medications still play a significant role in early postoperative analgesia. Given the adverse side effects of narcotic medications, regional blocks utilizing local anesthetic agents and has been shown to improve overall pain control in this time period. Truncal abdominal nerve blocks are useful for pain control in abdominal and pelvic surgeries. More recently, the utilization of the quadratus lumborum (QL) block has effectively alleviated somatic and visceral pain in the upper and lower abdomen. The QL block provides analgesia spanning from the T4 to L1 dermatomal levels in the thoracolumbar plane to provide a broad sensory level analgesic effect. The approach involves injecting local anesthetic under ultrasound guidance into the plane posterior to the quadratus lumborum muscle and middle layer of thoracolumbar fascia. Given the utility of the QL block in controlling somatic pain, this study aims to determine whether the QL block is an effective analgesic adjunct in the control of postoperative pain period, specifically with regards to patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery.
Locorregional anaesthesia have been increased its role in different kind of surgeries, alone or combined with general anesthesia. Due to ultrasound, peripheral nerve blocks have been increased their importance in locoregional anaesthesia. They provide excellent intraoperative and postoperative analgesia, decreasing the need for intravenous opioids which increase postoperative nausea and vomiting which may prolong hospital stay. The primary study objective is to analyze retrospectively the use of peripheral nerve blocks in the current practice of a specialized regional anaesthesia division. This is an observational, retrospective and unicenter study. 1346 patients scheduled for the surgery needed a peripheral nerve block were enrolled.
Ventral hernia repair is associated with significant postoperative pain, and regional anesthetic techniques are of potential benefit. The postoperative mobility and training is of utmost importance in this patient group, and could be increased using local anesthetics instead of opioids. Inadequate post-operative pain control can lead to adverse consequences for patients, such as the development of chronic pain, immunosuppression, poorer healing of surgical wounds, as well as adrenergic activation and its consequences in the form of coronary incidents or gastrointestinal obstruction and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Moreover, lack of mobility can result in thrombosis and embolism. These complications affect hospital functioning, which leads to decreased patient satisfaction, a worse reputation for the hospital, longer stays in the recovery room, prolonged hospitalizations, higher incidence of re-surgeries and re-admissions, and higher costs for care and treatment. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is the latest of the truncal blocks and was first described in 2016. The efficacy of bilateral ESPB at the T7 level has been described in a study of 4 cases, moreover effective analgesia with ESPB after bariatric surgery has been described in a study of 3 cases. When performed at the level of the T7 transverse process, studies show the potential to block both supra-umbilical and infra-umbilical dermatomes. So far there are mostly case studies done in this field of study, and internationally there is a call for research into the effect of this technique and randomized controlled trials. The objective of this study is to compare ESPB to multimodal analgesia in patients undergoing ventral hernia repair.
This is a prospective randomized double blind controlled study to evaluate the post-operative analgesic effect of adductor canal block (ACB) or peri-articular injection (PAIs) compared to combined adductor canal block and infiltration of the interspace between popliteal artery and the capsule of posterior knee block ( IPACK) in patient undergoing total knee arthroplasty
