Filter by:"The virtual reality mask is an innovative technique, alternative to pharmacological medicine that would allow, in addition to its action on pain, to reduce anxiety and thus increase patient satisfaction by improving their experience of a risky situation. The therapeutic effects of the virtual reality mask are based on a distractive effect with attentive capture, an emotional effect due to ludic aspect and positive suggestion, and a behavioral effect. In utero fetoscopy is a potentially painful procedure, particularly at the beginning of the procedure due to the introduction of a fetoscopy trocar in the amniotic cavity through the patient's uterus. It also generates anxiety in mothers because of the risks associated with the pathology and the procedure. This research focuses on the use of a virtual reality mask in the reduction of pain and anxiety during in utero surgical procedures. The study is presented and proposed to the patient during the expert ultrasound examination by the obstetrician-gynecologist. Then the modalities are detailed by the anesthetist during the anesthesia consultation before the surgery. The patient is included in the study after the consent is signed. During the anesthesia consultation, the patient is informed of the possibility of analgesia through a virtual reality mask, associated with local anesthesia. It is explained that in case of pain despite the virtual reality mask and local anesthesia, remifentanil administration remains possible. During the anesthesia consultation, the patient's initial state of anxiety is assessed by the score Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale. The procedure takes place in the theatre room. Upon arrival in the theatre room (preoperative), an evaluation of the anxiety level is performed using a visual analog scale. The virtual reality mask is applied by the anesthesia team before skin disinfection and the placement of sterile drapes. During the procedure, a local anesthesia (non-adrenaline Xylocaine 1%) is performed as usual in order to insert the trocar in the amniotic cavity (diameter 3.5mm) which will be used to introduce the intra-amniotic fetoscope. If during the procedure, the patient feels pain, agitation, pain-related discomfort, morphine analgesia (Intravenous Remifentanil which means Intravenous Anesthesia with Objective Concentration) may be administered by the anesthesia team. Immediately after the procedure, the virtual reality mask will be removed.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the postoperative analgesic effect of quadratus lumborum block in patient undergoing a living donor kidney transplant under general anesthesia.
This is a prospective non-randomized, open-label, single dose (and a second dose if needed), PK study in 25 children age 1-17 years. The proposed number of study participants by subset is: 8 paediatric participants 1-2 years; 8 paediatric participants >2-6 years and 9 paediatric participants >6-17 years.
There are multiple factors that determine progress of normal vaginal delivery. Frequency, duration and strength of uterine contractions are important for progress throughout labor, and abdominal wall muscle contractions contribute to progress during the final stage. Epidural analgesia helps to alleviate the pain associated with uterine contractions, this however this comes at the expense of prolonging labor by reducing the strength of abdominal wall muscle contractions. The purpose of this prospective study is to quantify how much epidurals decrease the strength of abdominal wall contractions. Intraabdominal pressure will be used as surrogate to strength of abdominal wall contractions, and it will be measured via a foley catheter inserted into the urinary bladder as part of standard procedure for patients receiving labor epidurals. We will compare the change in intraabdominal pressure when patients perform forceful abdominal contractions (valsalva maneuvers) prior to and during epidural analgesia. This will lay the foundation for a future study in which we plan to compare the effects of different epidural analgesia types and concentrations on abdominal wall muscle contractions.
This project intends to develop a clinical randomized controlled study of ADCT (acupuncture and drug compound technology) in accelerating the recovery of patients during the perioperative period of pneumonectomy. The ADCT the investigators proposed is a characteristic technology that uses acupuncture-related technologies to replace part of the dosage of narcotic drugs. With the support of the investigators' preliminary research results of ADCT, sequential TEAS (transcutaneous electrical acupoints stimulation) treatment before, during and after the operation promoted recovery after thoracoscopic lung resection. Compared with electroacupuncture, TEAS has the advantages of non-invasive, easy to repeat, safe, and low cost, and it has widely been accepted by patients. In view of the investigators' previous clinical observations and conclusions, ADCT in the perioperative period of lung resection surgery can indeed play a good role in organ protection and reduce surgical stress reaction. Therefore, it is necessary to further clarify the advantages and application value of ADCT and provide evidence-based medical evidence. is in accelerating the perioperative period of rehabilitation, it is imminent to formulate a standardized, practical, effective and conducive to the promotion and application of acupuncture and medicine compound technology in hospitals at all levels during the perioperative period of combined Chinese and Western medicine prevention and treatment programs. In order to formulate and optimize the application of ADCT in the entire perioperative period of lung resection surgery, and promote the establishment of the first perioperative rehabilitation management and treatment model based on ADCT in accelerated lung resection surgery to facilitate clinical promotion.
The goal of this study is determine if an oral systemic course of steroids is a safe and effective option in lowering pain and complications following adenotonsillectomy in various pediatric age groups. A double blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial of steroids (dexamethasone) versus placebo postoperatively will be performed. Investigators will determine if there is a difference in post-operative pain and complications between groups.
The aim of the trial is to study the efficacy of continuous bilateral Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) in managing perioperative pain in patients who undergo elective laparoscopic colectomy.
This study evaluates the effects of Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI)-guided intraoperative analgesia on postoperative pain in patients undergoing open gynecologic surgery.
This study will compare perineural dexamethasone 2mg and perineural mixture of dexamethasone 2mg plus dexmedetomidine 50mcg DX plus DXD as adjuvants to local anesthetics for ultrasound-guided infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks (ICBs). The protocol is designed as a superiority trial and hypothesizes that the mixture of both drugs results in longer block duration. Furthermore, since analgesic and sensory duration can be influenced by the intake of pain medications and surgical trauma to small cutaneous nerves, respectively, motor block duration was selected as the main outcome to better target the action of both adjuvants on the brachial plexus.
In this study, we aimed to compare ultrasound-guided sacral erector spinae plane block and dorsal penile block on postoperative analgesic effect in hypospadias surgery.
