Filter by:The investigators hypothesize an alternative way to perform thoracic paravertebral block, by placing the needle tip over and behind the transverse process of vertebra, via the thoracic intervertebral foramen. This anesthetic procedure is called thoracic intervertebral foramen block. The study aims to verify the spread of dye on to the the nervous structures of retropleural space (the ventral rami, the communicating rami, and the sympathetic trunk), and into the thoracic paravertebral space and epidural space. To accomplish this, a prospective cadaveric study was designed.
The aim of study is to compare the efficacy of various pain alleviating methods by application of Emla gel, TENS, and topical cooling of injection sites compared with 20% benzocaine gel in reducing pain in children requiring anesthesia during routine dental procedures.
The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of articaine in controlling self-reported pain compared with conventional lidocaine anesthesia in children requiring extraction of deciduous maxillary molars. Only one extraction will be performed on each child. At least two consultations will be necessary to carry out the present controlled, randomized, and blinded study. All participants will be treated by the same dentist. Self-reported pain will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Lidocaine solution versus placebo (isotonic Sodium Chloride NaCl) disposed inside the urinary bladder as intravesical anesthesia prior to onabotulinum toxin A injections in the treatment of urgency urinary incontinence.
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of the use of no topical anesthesia, topical coolant, and the use of vibration in the reduction of pain during trigger finger injections. This will be done by randomizing patients who are diagnosed with trigger finger, warrant and choose to continue with a steroid injection into each of the respective anesthetic (or lack thereof) methods described. After conducting this and gathering data on the subjects pain felt, we will compare the analgesia from each of the anesthetic methods.
Paravertebral block (PVB) has been regarded as effective regimen for pain control after cardiac surgery. As a novel analgesia technique, erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been reported to provide effective analgesia after thoracic and cardiac surgery. We hypothesized that the ESPB is non-inferior to PVB in treating pain in minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery.
Spinal surgery is often burdened by perioperative pain and its treatment presently represents a challenge for anesthetists. An inadequate intra and postoperative analgesic therapy leads to a delay in the mobilization of the patients, prolonged hospital stay and thromboembolic complications, as well as the onset of chronic pain syndromes . Effective pain treatment can help improve surgical outcome for patients undergoing spinal surgery. From the pathophysiological point of view pain in vertebral surgery can originate from different anatomical structures: vertebrae, discs, ligaments, dura mater, facet joints, muscles and skin-subcutis. The terminal innervation of these tissues originate from the dorsal branches of the spinal nerves, and this represents a target a multimodal approach to perioperative analgesia in vertebral surgery. Systemically administered drugs such as NSAIDs, opioids, ketamine, intravenous lidocaine could benefit from the addition of locoregional therapies such as neuraxial blocks (anesthesia peridural or subarachnoid) or as shown more recently by other anesthesia techniques locoregional ultrasound-guided In recent years the anesthesiological interest has focused on the Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB). First described by Forero et al, it is a paraspinal interfascial block targeting the dorsal and ventral branches of the spinal nerves just after their emergence from the spinal cord. In the ultrasound-guided technique the local anesthetic is injected between the deep fascia of the muscle itself and the transverse processes of the vertebrae at the level interested. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ESPB when compared to wound infiltration in patients undergoing laminectomy
The use of intrauterine device (IUD) in Brazil is still not very significant and one of the reasons is the fear of feeling pain during its insertion procedure. Articaine is an amide-linked local anesthetic, its plasma half-life is shorter than that of most other amide-type anesthetics, which makes it theoretically favorable in relation to systemic toxicity.
Dental extraction is the most common procedure undertaken in the department of Oral Surgery, inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB), till today, is the most commonly used local anaesthesia technique for extraction of lower posterior teeth. The anatomical complexity of this technique carries the risk of anaesthetic failures necessitating repeated needle penetrations and hence a painful experience for the patient. In addition, IANB technique, many times, becomes impossible to perform in fearful adult and paediatric patients, those with restricted mouth opening or intellectual disability. Certain coagulation defects are a contraindication to administration of IANB due to its depth of penetration into the tissues that may lead to fatal consequences in case of uncontrolled bleeding. Because of these shortcomings of IANB, there is always a need for alternative anaesthesia techniques that are less painful and carry lesser risks. Anaesthetic injection into the Periodontal ligament space (space between tooth root surface and the bone forming the socket wall) as an alternative to IANB have been tested by many researchers with varying results. The expected advantages of this technique are reduced pain on injection, shorter duration of anaesthesia that prevents inadvertent lips and cheek biting after completion of the procedure. It is expected to be easier to perform in cases of restricted mouth opening and uncooperative patients due to any reason and carry lesser risk of bleeding within tissues. The objective of our study is to evaluate the efficacy of Intra-ligamentary injection for posterior mandibular molar extraction as an alternative to inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) so that it can be used in cases where IANB is either difficult to perform or not indicated.
evaluate the efficacy of the intravenous formulation of fentanyl citrate administered orally as a sedative premedication, we will compare it with oral midazolam, as a gold standard premedication, in paediatric congenital cardiac surgeries
