Filter by:Postoperative analgesic treatment needs to be improved. Numerous studies suggest that a single dose of Methadone given during surgery significantly ameliorates postoperative pain and reduces postoperative opioid consumption. Perioperative methadone is already used in isolated cases such as patients with chronic pain or patients with high morphine tolerance. However, it is not routinely used in the elderly and fragile, and there is insufficient reliable evidence on this treatment and population. Further investigation is highly relevant and necessary.
The proposed pilot study is a prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind, single-center pilot study.The aim of this pilot project is to evaluate the feasibility of a phase III study on the use of dexmedetomidine in intrathecal in the context of elective cesarean section. The target population for the study will be adult pregnant women undergoing elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. This study will be carried out at a single site, the CHU Sainte-Justine as part of a research internship as part of the anesthesiology residency program at the University of Montreal.
Opioid free anesthesia is a recent anesthesia technique with the aim to avoid peroperative use of morphinics to allow a diminution of secondary morphinics effects in the postoperative period. There is no robust data on the real benefits of such procedures. Obese patients are particular at risk of secondary effects of opioids. The aim of our study is to compare opioid free anesthesia to multimodal anesthesia on postoperative morphine consumption after a laparoscopic gastric bypass.
The purpose of this study is to show that the effect of 3% 2-chloroprocaine prior to epidural morphine administration will be not inferior to the effect of epidural 2% lidocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine on total opioid use for 24h
Proper assessment of pain and adequate analgesia in thoracic surgery is a challenging issue for medical practitioners. Basic aspects of thoracic anaesthesia are general anesthesia, intubation with double lumen tube and separation of lung ventilation, however proper analgesia needs to be standardized. Role of opioids in this clinical setting is reduced due to high risk of respiratory system complications. Instead, use of opioid free anaesthesia and regional anaesthesia is proposed. The aim of this study is to compare the use of opioid anaesthesia with opioid free anaesthesia and paravertebral block.
The choice of the sedation protocol has a massive impact on the duration of mechanical ventilation and the timing of extubation. Many sedation protocols are described in the literature. The investigators aim to assess if a transdermal fentanyl-based sedation protocol can have an impact on the global Work of Breathing (WOB)
This study aims to 1) observe the course of pain, 2) utilization of opioid pain medication, and 3) possible effect of a behavioral intervention delivered via an automated mobile phone messaging robot in patients undergoing surgical treatment of a traumatic orthopaedic injury.
Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional conscious experience, associated with actual or potential tissue damage. Nociception is the sympathetic response to noxious stimuli during unconsciousness. The appearance of different forms of chronic pain results from sensitization of both peripheral and central neural circuits of pain, which involves inflammatory mechanisms both at a systemic level and specifically in the peripheric and central nervous system, as observed through elevation of specific neuroinflammatory mediators, such as MCP-1, IL-1, IL-1b, and IL-10. Clinically, this sensitization expresses as hyperalgesia and allodynia, which increase postoperative pain and morbidity, but also induce permanent modifications in the nociceptive system. These effects may be ameliorated by adequately adjusting intraoperative analgesia through use of nociception/analgesia balance monitors, of which Nociception Level Index (NOL) shows convenient characteristics and promising results from previous studies. Objectives: The goal of our study is to assess the utility of NOL index monitoring against standard care for Fentanyl-based analgesia by measuring postoperative pain, sensorial thresholds and inflammatory markers related to nociception. Hypothesis: The use of NOL index to guide the intraoperative analgesia will produce less postoperative pain, hyperalgesia, allodynia, and neuroinflammation.
Under the auspices of the Oral Health Section of the NC Department of Health and Human Services clinician-investigators from the UNC Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department are conducting a survey to assess current analgesic prescribing practices in NC with a goal of eventually reaching consensus among clinicians for a wide range of procedures and conditions where pain control is important for successful patient outcomes. We hope that about 850 dentists and 600 physicians will agree to take part in this research study. Participation in this Qualtrics survey e-mailed in mid-February 2019 will take about 15 minutes or less.
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is associated with poor post-operative pain management. The multimodal analgesic scheme (oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs associated with oral opioids) currently used according to the pain management guidelines is insufficient for most of these patients. There are few reports on the use of buprenorphine in post-operative pain with encouraging results. There is no evidence of its use in the management of post-operative pain of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair
