Filter by:Total knee replacement (total knee arthroplasty) is performed to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis and relieve pain in patients with severely damaged knee joints. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with severe postoperative pain, and the management of postoperative pain continues to evolve with the advancement of surgical techniques and pharmacological treatments. Femoral, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and obturator nerve block is provided with suprainguinal fascia iliaca plan block, which is used for postoperative analgesia, especially in hip surgeries. In this way, the investigators think it can be used as a part of multimodal analgesia in total knee arthroplasty surgery.
The laparoscopic approach has become the gold standard for many abdominal surgical procedures, including cholecystectomy. Compared to laparotomy, laparoscopy allows smaller incisions, reduces perioperative stress response, reduces postoperative pain, and results in shorter recovery time. However, anaesthesia concerns in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery are different from patients undergoing open abdominal surgery. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the external oblique intercostal block, which is a new block, on postoperative pain score and opioid consumption.
Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is often associated with severe postoperative pain that is often significant enough to interfere with initial recovery and rehabilitation. The pain that can be difficult to manage without large dose of opioid. The study aim to explore the effect of continuous irrigation of fluids mixed with lidocaine and epinephrine for analgesic consumption and postoperative pain after shoulder arthroscopy.
Regional analgesia is considered the cornerstone for postoperative analgesia in paediatric patients. One of the most common birth defects which require surgical intervention early in life is the cleft lip. Infraorbital nerve block (IONB) has been used for postoperative analgesia in this delicate and sensitive area. As the assessment of pain may be very challenging especially in young children, the local anaesthetics administration can be a safe alternative to opioids.[2] However, the regional block after a single dose of local anaesthetic is of limited duration and efficacy. Hence, the coadministration of adjuvants with local anaesthetics may be helpful for potentiation of analgesic effect. Infraorbital nerve block is a well-recognized regional anaesthetic technique which can provide intraoperative and postoperative pain relief in nasal endoscopic surgery and in some types of oral and dental surgery including cleft lip repair . The block may also be used to help diagnose neuralgia arising from the second division of the trigeminal nerve. The technique for infraorbital nerve blockade is most performed as it exits the infraorbital foramen just below the inferior orbital rim.Dexmedetomidine (DE) is a potent α2 adrenoreceptor agonist and it is highly selective for α2 adrenoreceptor seven times more than clonidine. Many studies documented a prolonged duration and rapid onset of sensory block with the perineural injection of DE. Dexmedetomidine has been introduced as an adjuvant to local anaesthetics in both neuroaxial and peripheral nerve blocks. [9, 10] perineural dexmedetomidine has shown to prolong the duration of postoperative analgesia in addition to reducing the opioid consumption. The exact mechanism of peripheral nerve block produced by α2 adrenoreceptor agonists includes central analgesia, anti-inflammatory effect.Another suggested mechanism is that DE may exert its action through blocking the hyperpolarization-activated cation current after the transient sodium influx. The effect of magnesium was first recognized for the treatment of arrhythmia and preeclampsia, and its effect on anaesthesia and analgesia has recently been recognized. Magnesium sulphate has also been used as an adjunct to anaesthesia in recent years. It is also an effective analgesic agent for perioperative pain. Research have also reported that the intraoperative use of magnesium is characterized by a reduced use of anaesthetics and muscle relaxants. Furthermore, opioid use, postoperative nausea and vomiting, hypertension, and shivering have met a decreased trend with the use of magnesium sulphate. In a study performed by (El-Emam and El motlb) in 2019 they compared the efficacy of dexamethasone versus dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to bupivacaine in ultrasound guided infraorbital nerve block in paediatric patients scheduled for cleft lip repair. they noticed that dexmedetomidine produced a more prolonged duration of analgesia and a lower pain score and increased sedation than produced by dexamethasone. Also, they found that Both dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine were tolerable with no significant difference regarding the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting or intraoperative hemodynamic changes.Aim of the work: The purpose of this randomized controlled double-blind study is to compare the efficacy of Dexmedetomidine or Magnesium sulphate as adjuvants for bupivacaine in infraorbital nerve block in paediatric patients scheduled for cleft lip repair.
The study will determinate the influence of four selected physiotherapeutic procedures on the pain intensity, the bioelectrical activity of the masseter muscle, and the range of mandibular mobility in patients with TMDs (temporomandibular joint dysfunction).
To compare between Ultrasound guided ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric nerve blocks, TAP block and Quadratus lumborum block in patients scheduled for lower segment ceserian sections.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of simultaneous administration of oral aspirin and oral ketamine as a therapeutic for those with Treatment Resistant Depression.
The proposed research is an important extension of an ongoing perioperative personalized analgesia and intravenous opioid pharmacogenetic research. This research focuses on two of the most commonly used oral opioid analgesics, oxycodone, and methadone in elderly adults undergoing cardiac surgery.
This double-blinded, placebo-control trial clinical trial aims to investigate the effect of IV oxytocin infusion on peri-operative opioid consumption following a minimally invasive hysterectomy under general anesthesia. The patient population will be women scheduled for an elective, minimally invasive hysterectomy at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. The investigators hypothesize that, compared to a placebo, exposure to intravenous (IV) oxytocin will reduce the amount of opioid consumption for women after a minimally invasive hysterectomy procedure.
Intranasal dexmedetomidine provided good pharmacokinetic profile. However, intravenous dexmedetomidine have been used in functional endoscopic sinus surgery for several outcomes, there is lack in studies that had compared the efficacy of intravenous and Intranasal Dexmedetomidine for improving quality of the operative field in functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Therefore, we established this randomized study to compare intranasal dexmedetomidine with intravenous dexmedetomidine improving quality of the operative field in functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
