Filter by:Total knee arthroplasty is the most commonly performed orthopedic surgery, especially in patients with advanced gonarthrosis and limited joint movement. After total knee arthroplasty, patients experience unbearably severe pain. Pain that is not adequately treated in the postoperative period increases the stress response in patients, increases the risk of embolism, causes bleeding in the surgical area, and causes undesirable conditions such as agitation and delirium in patients. This postoperative pain is successfully treated with various variants of multimodal analgesia.
INTRODUCTION: Currently, there is no scientific evidence about pain in the anesthetic blockage of the first finger according to the application method. However, clinical evidence has valued the use of carpule, due to the low pain it generates in the patient to the application of anesthetic. Most studies on anesthesia and pain, especially with the use of carpule and distracting methods, belong to the field of dentistry. OBJECTIVES: It is intended to determine the pain after an anesthetic block in H of Frost in the first finger with different application methods, such as syringe and carpule. As secondary objectives, it is intended to establish the difference in pain according to the sex and age of the patients. METHODOLOGY: Experimental, transverse and random clinical trial type analytical study, in which a sample of 200 individuals will be selected, 100 per group, which would require digital anesthesia of the first finger and that would fulfill the inclusion criteria. Result: after the completion of the study CONCLUSIONS: After the completion of the study
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two commonly used local/regional anesthesia techniques in adults patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • the impact of both interventions on patient level of pain. • impact on postoperative analgesics administered Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two local/regional anesthesia techniques, either femoral nerve block (FNB) or suprainguinal fascia iliaca block (SiFi). Both techniques are the usual practice at the hospital, and we are NOT aiming to experiment on new anesthesia technique in this study.
Rationale: Effective and fast topical anesthesia of the nasal mucosa is of paramount importance for nasal instrumentation like nasal fiberoptic procedures, awake nasal fiberoptic intubation and placement of nasogastric tubes. Conventional topical anesthesia for the nasal mucosa is often patchy and not always effective. The investigators hypothesize that topical anesthesia of the nasal mucosa with the nasal atomizer adapter (NAA) provides good to excellent nasal topical anesthesia with high patient comfort. Objective: In this study the NAA will be used for nasal topical anesthesia. The investigators will evaluate complete anesthesia of the nasal mucosa for nasal instrumentation, the use of the NAA and the comfort level for the subjects. Study design: Interventional study. Study population: 20 healthy human volunteers, ASA 1, 18-60 years old. Intervention: Lidocaine 2% will be applied intranasally with the NAA before nasal instrumentation. On completion of the procedure the participant and the researcher will be asked to complete a feedback form. Main study parameters/endpoints: Studying the level of anesthesia of the nasal mucosa as evaluated and demonstrated with successful awake nasal instrumentation with minimal discomfort for the subject. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation: Risk management on the nasal atomizer adapter (NAA) shows that all user risks are mitigated and no residual risks remain for the use of the device. Testing of the device and the application of the device in daily practice has no additional risks than the present technique of performing topical anaesthesia of the nasal mucosa.
the investigators are interested in assessing the feasibility and value of brachial plexus block at the level of the humeral head in children. As a first step, the investigators propose to carry out a sono-anatomical study to describe the plexus at this level, the distribution of nerves in relation to the axillary artery, and the description of bone and muscle structures.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two different medications used to reduce pain during lower back fusion surgery. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Can liposomal bupivacaine, when included in a regional anesthesia technique called the Erector Spinae Plane block (ESPB), reduce opioid use post-operatively compared to the standard medication typically used in an ESPB (bupivacaine with stabilizing agents)? 2. Do patients report lower pain and better satisfaction with their surgery when they receive liposomal bupivacaine in the ESPB compared to those that receive the standard medication? Participants will be randomized to into two groups one that receives liposomal bupivacaine and one group that receives bupivacaine with stabilizing agents. Other than the randomization all patients will follow current standard of care at our hospital, and will not be asked to complete any additional study forms in addition to forms currently asked of all patients as per standard of care.
The present study examines adding local anesthetic injection superior to the sartorius at the level of the femoral triangle to block the intermediate femoral cutaneous nerve (IFCN) which is responsible for the innervation of the anterior thigh and the proximal part of the parapatellar incision used for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This may provide superior analgesia when added to dual subsartorial blockade in cases of total knee arthroplasty
The aim of this study is to address the problem of epidural failure. The investigators theorize epidural failure can be due to inappropriate catheter movement and this may be related to the length of which the epidural catheter is inserted. The investigators will use electrical stimulation to determine if the catheter moved in the sacral direction with insertion.
More accurate and earlier identification of people at risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and neurodegenerative diseases (memory, cognition, dementia) through the appropriate use of biomarkers could lead to earlier initiation of preventive therapies and potentially avoid sometimes fatal events and complications. Biomarkers are useful for determining the risk of disease, but also for establishing a diagnosis. High inter-individual variability hinders the establishment of general laws that can be- used in predictive medicine. In addition to the lack of validation, other limitations are the low participation rate in screening campaigns (regardless of disease) and the relative difficulty, accuracy, cost and time taken to perform the measurements. The perioperative period is a very good time to screen for cardiovascular and neurodegenerative pathologies for several reasons: - Patients come to their anesthesia consultation and to the operating room because they have a direct visible benefit. - the physiological data collected intraoperatively during systematic monitoring are very "rich" and of very good quality because they are not very noisy - The induction of general anesthesia or the onset of locoregional anesthesia and its maintenance represents a strong and reproducible physiological "test" for the cardiovascular and cerebral systems. - The patients are regularly re-examined postoperatively for the follow-up of their pathology and the possible complications are recorded in their file, allowing a short and medium term follow-up. The project aims to validate a biomarker predictive of cardiovascular complications, the pulse wave velocity, and a biomarker predictive of cognitive disorders, the power of the Alpha wave on the electroencephalogram, from the data usually collected during each anesthesia and during the perioperative period. The objective is to build a predictive model of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative risks, possibly combined, on a survival analysis.
The study compares between the success rate of interscalene block and upper trunk block performed by anesthesia trainee for intra and postoperative analgesia during shoulder arthroscopy. The duration of performing the block, guidance intervention by the consultant and block failure will be recorded.
