Filter by:The interscalene block provides effective analgesia after shoulder surgery. It consists of injecting local anaesthetic within the brachial plexus, in the interscalene groove, between the anterior and middle scalene muscles. Unfortunately, this technique is associated with respiratory complications such as hemidiaphragmatic paresis due to the spread of the local anaesthetic towards the phrenic nerve that lies close to the brachial plexus, with an incidence up to 100%. The diaphragmatic paresis may be a serious side-effect, especially in patients suffering from a reduced respiratory function such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; this entity may even represent a contraindication to the performance of the block. The shoulder is mainly innervated by the suprascapular and axillary nerves, both of them coming from C5 and C6 branches of the brachial plexus block. Recently, several authors have successfully identified and block these two nerves under ultrasound guidance. Only one randomised controlled trial compared interscalene block with a combination of suprascapular and axillary nerve blocks, and showed inconclusive results probably due to the absence of ultrasound guidance; indeed, analgesia was equivalent at the sixth postoperative hour, while patients with an interscalene block had reduced pain scores in the recovery room. Besides, the authors did not investigate the impact on the respiratory function. In that randomised controlled trial, the investigators would like to compare the analgesic efficacy and the respiratory outcomes between the interscalene block and the combined suprascapular-axillary nerve blocks.
This prospective, randomized study, control study aims to compare the analgesic effect, opioids consumption, quality of recovery, length of hospital stay and et al. between unilateral continuous quadratus lumborum block (QLB) and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IPCA) alone in patients undergoing hepatectomy with right J-shape subcostal incision.
The purpose of this study is to compare the pain level and level of discomfort with paracervical block versus no analgesia in women who present to the University of Texas (UT) Physicians Obstetrics and Gynecology Continuity Clinic, The UT Physicians Women's Center, and the UT Physicians Women's Center- Bellaire for IUD insertion.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the breathing patterns of women who undergo cesarean delivery with spinal or epidural morphine for post-operative pain control in the first day after surgery. Some women who undergo cesarean delivery may be at risk for respiratory complications related to opiate administration for post-operative pain. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate post-operative minute ventilation in women who undergo cesarean delivery using a novel method of non-invasive minute ventilation monitoring, and to see if there are predictive risk factors that may predispose women to post-operative hypoventilation.
Management of analgesia and sedation is an integral component of the medical care of a critically-ill child. Its role is to assure comfort and safety to a patient undergoing painful cares and technical procedures; it can also be, in particular situations like acute respiratory distress syndrome or acute brain injury, a full processing treatment. Sedation involves, most of the time, the association of an opioid and a sedative. The use of these drugs is difficult in children, because of a specific metabolism, inducing tolerance and withdrawal in case of prolonged administration. The COMFORT-BEHAVIOR (COMFORT-B) scale is a validated, simple, reliable and reproducible score evaluating sedation and analgesia. Sedation scoring systems must be used regularly to avoid inadequate sedation. Excessive sedation is associated with poor outcomes like prolonged mechanical ventilation, longer hospitalisation and more frequent withdrawal symptoms. Adult and paediatric data suggest that goal-directed sedation algorithms allow a more appropriate adaptation of the treatment to the patient's need and permit a reduction in the duration of mechanical ventilation. The objective was to evaluate the impact of a nurse-driven sedation protocol in a paediatric intensive care unit on duration of mechanical ventilation, total doses and duration of medications, Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) length of stay, incidence of ventilator-associated-pneumonia and occurrence of withdrawal.
It is important to keep children undergoing laparoscopic surgery pain free with rapid return to normal activity.
Maternity and neonatology, caregivers are regularly confronted with the pain of the newborn, especially after a birth injury, but it is sometimes difficult ti define. There is not, to our knowledge, any prevalence study of pain in newborn motherhood. The data available are those of the perinatal survey 2010, with the number of operative vaginal deliveries (5.3% of suction, forceps 3.9%, 2.9% spatulas) and the number of extractions the seat (4.7%). These delivery modes can be purveyors of pain. At St. Joseph's Hospital, there were in 2013: 259 instrumental deliveries and 90 extractions by headquarters. Fifty five paracetamol bottles were consumed in the layer sequence in 2013, and 15 in the delivery room. But this consumption is a poor reflection of the pain because treatment could be given pain-authenticated (measured with the EDIN scale), and because a bottle is discarded one month after opening. The scales measuring pain used in the new-born at term based on the assessment of change in behavior; two specific scores of the newborn are used in France: Pain and Discomfort Scale Newborn (EDIN) for prolonged pain and Acute Pain scale Newborn (DAN) for acute pain related to health care. The EVENDOL scale (Child Pain Evaluation) has been validated for pediatric emergencies in children 0-7 years, as well as pre-hospital, to measure the intensity of pain whether acute or prolonged (8 ). It is easy and fast to use. validation cohorts included a significant proportion of newborns. This scale appears suitable for evaluation of the newborn to term maternity
This prospective, randomized study,control study aims to compare the analgesic effect,opioids consumption,quality of recovery,length of hospital stay and incidence of chronic pain,et al. single-injection TPVB +continuous(pulsatile infusion) TPVB and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IPCA) alone in patients undergoing hepatectomy with right J-shape subcostal incision.
This study compares the long-axis and short-axis technique of continues adductor canal block for total knee replacement surgery. Half participants will receive long-axis catheterization, while the other half will receive short-axis catheterization.
The aim of this study is to assess whether tenoxicam is as effective as pethidine for analgesia during the first stage of labor.
