Filter by:Early mobilization and rehabilitation can be difficult after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to a high incidence of moderate to severe postoperative pain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are important to multimodal analgesic protocols. Parecoxib is an NSAID that selectively inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Clinical trials have shown that it does not alter platelet function or gastric mucosa. A recent study, after comparing ketorolac and parecoxib used at the same time in infiltration and systemically, found no differences in perioperative analgesia with a tendency to less bleeding in the parecoxib group. This randomized study will compare the effectiveness of adding a COX-2 inhibitor in the pain management of patients undergoing TKA as part of a multimodal analgesia regimen. The morphine consumption was selected as the primary outcome. The study hypothesis is that patients receiving parecoxib would have a lower opioid consumption.
Compare the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided lumbar erector spinae plane block (L-ESPB) versus fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) in patients scheduled for total hip arthroplasty.
Postoperative pain management is considered an integral part of perioperative care in patients undergoing thoracotomy. In order to reduce these complications, multiple regional techniques have been developed for thoracotomy including Intercostal nerve block, Erectospinae plane block and serratus block. Multiple adjuvants have been used in regional analgesia including adrenaline,clonidine,magnesium sulphate,dexmedatomidine and opoids.
Background: Many thyroidectomy patients suffer from postoperative pain that could delay early hospital discharge and place a significant burden on both the patient and the healthcare team. Bilateral intermediate cervical plexus block (ICPB) provides good analgesia for neck surgery, including thyroidectomy. However, the duration of a single-shot nerve block is usually short. Therefore, adjuvants are used in peripheral nerve blocks. Objectives: To compare the safety and efficacy of dexmedetomidine versus dexamethasone as adjuvants to bupivacaine in ultrasound-guided intermediate cervical plexus block in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy under general anesthesia. Patients and Methods: This is a randomized, double-blind, phase four, prospective clinical trial; carried out on 60 patients, who were candidates for total thyroidectomy under general anesthesia at our hospital. Patients were randomly allocated into two equal groups; group A, received bilateral ICPB with isobaric bupivacaine plus dexmedetomidine, and group B, received bilateral ICPB with isobaric bupivacaine plus dexamethasone.
Ultrasound-guided suprazygomatic maxillary nerve block (SMNB) will be performed in paediatric patients with or without the aid of ultrasound guidance. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to visualize the spread of the local anaesthetic (LA) spread after suprazygomatic injection and to verify LA contact with the maxillary nerve in the pterygopalatine fossa (PPF).
This is a prospective interventional study examining the effect of ketorolac at doses of 15mg versus 30 mg for duration of analgesia in emergency department patients with suspected renal colic.
The aim of this double blind randomized study will be to investigate the effect of an opioid-free anesthesia regimen with a mixture of lidocaine and ketamine in the same syringe versus remifentanyl analgesia in cervical spine surgery.
Proximal femur fractures are one of the commonest fractures especially in the elderly population. Early surgical fixation is the best analgesic for associated pain. Spinal anesthesia has been favored by many anesthesiologists due to the simplicity of the technique, the better analgesic profile, and the lower incidence of complications like delirium and thromboembolic events. However, severe pain, encountered during positioning for spinal anesthesia, can complicate the technique and worsen the patient experience. the study aim to compare the analgesic effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine and fascia iliaca block preoperatively to assist positioning patients for performance of spinal anesthesia.
Patients undergoing cardiac robotic surgery will receive different pain management after being randomized in 2 groups. Control group will receive standard of care pain management with acetaminophen and morphine in PCA pump, and the intervention group will receive an erector spinae plane block with a continous infusion of local anesthetic. At 3 months the patients will be contacted to assess for pain and ask them for they life quality.
Arthroscopic shoulder surgery, which has been frequently applied in recent years, provides long-term positive clinical results and increases the quality of life after surgery, while it can cause severe pain in the early postoperative period. Postoperative pain management is very important in shoulder arthroplasty. Adequate pain control; mental state, nutrition, cost of care, rehabilitation, and patient satisfaction, are of great importance for the patients' recovery and contribute to a successful surgical outcome. In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the effects of suprascapular nerve block and shoulder pericapsular nerve block, which will be performed preoperatively with ultrasound, on the level of postoperative pain in patients who will undergo shoulder arthroscopy surgery under general anesthesia.
