Filter by:Comfort evaluation is one of the major challenges in the palliative care setting, particularly when it comes to non-communicative patients. ANI monitoring is a non-invasive and painless technique which evaluates the parasympathetic tone activity through heart rate variability. It has proven reliable for pain assessment during general anesthesia (GA) or for sedated critically ill patients. The parasympathetic activity seems to be a good reflect of the patient's comfort, implicating stress and anxiety. So, the ANI could be an interesting tool to assess the comfort of non-communicating end-of-life patients. That is why the goal of our study is to assess the interest of ANI to assess the comfort of non-communicating patients hospitalized in palliative care during a painful care by comparing the ANI measure to the CPOT scale realised by the nurses in a blind manner.
To compare the analgesic efficacy of posterior TAP block versus ESPB after PCNL surgery. The hypothesis is that posterior TAP block, as a part of multimodal analgesia, will reduce pain and opioid consumption like ESPB
Dexamethasone will be used as an adjunct to local anesthetics (bupivacaine) to prolong the duration of laparoscopically-placed transversus-abdominis plane blocks in elective colorectal resection.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of standard epidural and dural puncture epidural analgesia techniques used under NOL guidance. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of NOL-guided antinociception on intraoperative total local anesthetic consumption during anesthesia. The secondary aim is to compare onset time, analgesia duration time, hemodynamic parameters, time to first postoperative analgesic requirement, and postoperative side effects.
Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) is the gold standard analgesia of the laparotomy in major abdominal surgery and can be associated with intravenous lidocaine or subtituted by intravenous lidocaine when TEA is contraindicated and in order to reduce the use of the morphinics in the perioperative period. Side effects can be paralytic ileus or nausea and vomiting and delay the enhanced recovery after surgery. Intravenous lidocaine and TEA share several properties like anti hyperalgesia, anti inflammatory effect, intestinal process, anti tumoral effect… which suggests an additive effect of their combination that was not studied yet.
This study aims to compare single level serratus block versus bilevel serratus block with and without dexmedetomidine in cancer patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer regarding pain control and possible side effects.
The purpose of this study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of the combination of an adductor canal and selective tibial nerve blocks versus adductor canal block and IPACK after ACL reconstruction under general anaesthesia.
Liver resection surgery is a common surgical procedure which is performed on patients with benign, malignant or metastatic hepatic tumor as well as for living liver donor. Liver resection surgery is usually performed through either right subcostal or inversed L-shaped incision; both approaches are associated with a significant postoperative pain which requires intensive analgesic plan to facilitate early mobilization and minimize complications. There are various lines for pain management in liver resection surgery such as systemic analgesic drugs, neuraxial blocks (e.g., thoracic epidural analgesia) and transversus abdominis plane [TAP] block). Systemic analgesic drugs are nearly constantly used in liver resection. However, being systemically administered, these drugs have many side effects on many organs and cannot totally eliminate postoperative pain. Thoracic epidural block is commonly associated with hypotension; furthermore, its use has other limitations such as delaying postoperative mobilization and possible hematoma and cord compression in patients with coagulopathy which is expected following liver resection. Therefore, there had been an increased interest in the use of abdominal field blocks to avoid disadvantages of neuraxial blocks and minimize the use of parenteral analgesic drugs. TAP block is one of the classic field blocks which is extensively used in laparotomies including liver resection. However, the lack of visceral pain control TAP block influences the quality of its analgesic effect in this type of patients. Nevertheless, TAP block, namely the subcostal approach, is still the recommended field block in the latest procedure-specific recommendations for pain management in liver resection as it is the only block which showed good evidence. In recent years, there has been increased interest in a newer field block, the erector spinae plane block (ESPB), due its easy performance and the possible coverage of visceral pain in addition to the somatic pain. ESPB showed promising results in liver resection surgery. ESBP was superior to TAP block in various abdominal surgeries. However, its analgesic efficacy had not been previously compared in relation to TAP in patients undergoing open liver resection surgery.
The main objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the ultrasound-guided PENG block technique compared to intra-articular infiltration on morphine consumption during hip prosthetic surgery via the anterior minimally invasive approach under general anesthesia.
The aim of this study will be to investigate the effect of an opioid-free anesthesia regimen with a mixture of dexmedetomidine-lidocaine-ketamine in the same syringe versus fentanyl analgesia in elective thyroidectomies. Recovery parameters and nociception levels throughout the operation will be evaluated
