Filter by:In 2018, the severe medicine branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the American Society of severe medicine successively updated the pain and sedation guidelines for severe patients (PADIS guidelines). In addition to the update of the original evaluation and management of pain and sedation and delirium, the new guidelines also increased the monitoring and management of early activities and sleep quality for severe patients. Therefore, it is necessary for us to investigate the compliance of the new guidelines for analgesia, sedation and delirium management among the medical staff of critical care, so as to find out the existing problems in the management of analgesia, sedation and delirium in critical care patients, and find solutions to improve the overall quality level of our management of critical care patients
Purpose of this study is to clinically evaluate and compare various patient centered outcomes using diode LASER in Continuous mode (CW) and Pulsed Mode (PM) using 300µm and 400µm fiber for depigmentation procedure.
The aim of the study is to compare the analgesic effect of fascia iliaca compartment block (FIC) block and pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block in hip fracture pain control. The participants, caregivers, and assessors will be blinded to the type of block the participants receive. Patients aged 20 years or older with hip fracture scheduled for surgical treatment will be assessed for eligibility to participate the study. One hundred eligible patients will be included in the study after informed consents are obtained, and then randomly allocated into either FIC block or PENG block, with 50 patients in each group. Both blocks will performed under ultrasound guidance. The followings will be assessed: the numerical rating pain scale (NRS 0-10, 0: no pain, 10: worst pain imaginable) at before and after nerve block at different time points during rest and passive internal rotation of the fractured lower limb to neutral position from its typical external rotation deformity 30 mins after block (primary outcome). The degree of patient's satisfaction regarding nerve blocks and anesthesiologist's satisfaction regarding patient position during spinal anesthesia will also be assessed. The pain and use of rescue analgesics in the first 24 hours after operation will be recorded.
As of October 2019, when the investigators received the approval of the ethics committee, patients who were decided to undergo kyphoplasty with vertebral compression fracture will be included in the study. The patients will be divided into three groups according to the anesthetic method as conventional local anesthesia infiltration (CLIA) method and extrapedicular infiltration anesthesia (EPIAA) and 30 other patients as US guided erector spina group (ESP) for a total of 60 patients. The degree of pain in the intraoperative period will be assessed using a numerical rating scale. Patients with severe pain (NRS> 4) will receive 50 micrograms of fentanyl as an additional analgesic. Sedation levels of the patients will be evaluated with ramsey sedation scale (1-6). Patients with a sedation score of 1 will receive 2 mg of midazolam. During the procedure, pain scores at 0 minutes, 15, 30 and 45 minutes, sedation scores, additional analgesic and sedation amounts administered, and hemodynamic parameters will be recorded. The statistical difference between the groups will be compared
Acute appendicitis which is the most common cause of acute abdominal pain, is an acute inflammation of appendix vermiformis. Appendectomy operations can be performed as laparoscopic and open surgery. Addition of opioids to intrathecal local anesthetics to improve the quality of preoperative analgesia is an increasingly used method in recent years. The aim of this study is to compare bupivacaine-fentanyl and bupivacaine-alfentanil which are used intrathecally to create motor and sensory block. 50 volunteer patients who were diagnosed as appendicitis by laboratory tests and clinical diagnostic methods in general surgery clinic and classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists Classification I-II (ASA Class I-II) aged between 20-60 years scheduled for laparoscopic appendectomy operation, were included in this study. The patients were randomly assigned into two groups, Group I and Group II. Patients received spinal anesthesia with either 10 mg heavy bupivacaine (2 cc)+25 mcg fentanyl (0.5 cc) intrathecally (Group I, n=25) or 10 mg heavy bupivacaine (2 cc)+250 mcg alfentanil (0.5 cc) intrathecally (Group II, n=25).
A prospective randomized controlled study was undertaken to compare the postoperative analgesic effect between ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block and intercostal nerve block after single port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with primary spontaneous pneumothorax.
This protocol investigates the effect of a high dose dexamethasone regimen in the treatment of postoperative pain following Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS). The protocol consists of three substudies. 1. Randomized double-blinded clinical trial assigning half of the participants to a high-dose dexamethasone regimen while the other half will receive a low-dose dexamethasone dosage and placebo in the first postoperative period. 2. A investigation of "Why in hospital?" following TORS. From the first postoperative day until discharge reasons for continued hospitalization will be registered in order to identify clinical and organizational factors contributing to hospitalization 3. An assessment of "Days Alive and Out of Hospital" following TORS. From the day of surgery and the first 12 postoperative months all admissions to a hospital ward will be registered along with admission reasons. Any death during the first 12 months will be noted with a cause of death.
The study aim is to examine the relationship between providing information to women prior to elective cesarean delivery and anxiety levels around surgery. the patients will be assigned into two groups - intervention and control. In the intervention group - the day before surgery the women will watch a pre-prepared video showing in detail the course of events around the operation. the level of anxiety, pain level and Intake of Analgesics will be compared between the two groups
Purpose: The aim of the study was to compare the analgetic effect of two solutions of intracameral anesthesia in patients undergoing cataract surgery and assess the factors influencing the patients' postoperative activities. Methods: In this prospective, single-blind, randomized study, a group of 62 patients undergoing cataract surgery received Mydrane (Mydrane group) or a combination of 1% solution of lignocaine and 0.025% solution of adrenalin (reference group) as an intraocular anesthetic. The analgetic effect of these two anesthetic methods was evaluated using psychological tools - Visual Analog Scale for Pain (VAS Pain) and Brief Pain Inventory-short form (BPI) on the next day after the surgery.
The treatment of postoperative pain is increasingly based on a multimodal approach and although opioids remain the drug of choice, they are often used in combination with other analgesics (paracetamol, cyclooxygenase inhibitors or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and co-analgesic agents (clonidine and anti- NMDA such as ketamine or MgSO4). The rationale for combined analgesia is to achieve additive or synergistic analgesic properties while decreasing the incidence of side effects by reducing the dose of each agent. Nociceptive stimuli are known to activate the release of the excitatory amino acid glutamate in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. The resultant activation of NMDA receptors causes calcium entry into the cell and triggers central sensitisation. This mechanism is involved in the perception of pain and mainly accounts for its persistence during the postoperative period. Although magnesium is not a primary analgesic in itself, it enhances the analgesic actions of more established analgesics as an adjuvant agent. Magnesium produces a voltage-dependent block of NMDA receptors and has been reported to have analgesic properties that might be related to this inhibiting property. Magnesium sulfate has been reported to be effective in perioperative pain treatment and in blunting somatic, autonomic and endocrine reflexes provoked by noxious stimuli. When magnesium was used intraoperatively, many researchers reported that it reduced the requirement for anesthetics and/or muscle relaxants. Intraoperative use of magnesium sulfate can also be associated with decreased incidences of nausea and vomiting after surgery, which could have been due to the lower consumption of anesthetics (i.e. volatile agents), rather than any antiemetic effect of magnesium sulfate. In addition, perioperative i.v. administration of magnesium sulfate has another advantageous effect, as it decreases the incidence of shivering by up to 70-90%. Previous studies investigating the analgesic efficacy of MgSO4 in general, gynaecological, ophthalmic and orthopaedic surgery have shown conflicting results, while reports regarding spine surgery are extremely limited. Our study was designed to investigate the effects of MgSO4 on perioperative pain relief and postoperative quality of recovery after lumbar laminectomy surgery.
