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.
The aim of the study is to investigate how the combination of ropivacaine (a slow onset, long duration local anesthetic) with lidocaine (a rapid onset, shorter duration local anesthetic) affects the onset and duration of a lateral infraclavicular plexus brachialis (LIC) block in patients undergoing non-acute hand surgery.
The purpose of the study is to compare the effect of illiohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerve block with the local infiltration with lidocaine in patients undergoing TAVI
The aim of this study is to compare between peribulbar block and subtenon block as an adjunct to general anesthesia in children undergoing strabismus surgery on oculocardiac reflex (OCR), post-operative analgesia and postoperative vomiting. Both techniques will be compared to intra-operative intravenous (IV) paracetamol combined with general anesthesia as a sole anesthetic technique.
This study aims to assess the efficacy of Transversus Abdominus Plane (TAP) blocks, a well-established anesthetic technique, to decrease the amount of post-operative pain in patients who undergo minimally invasive gynecologic surgeries. During minimally invasive gynecologic surgeries, the abdomen is inflated with pressurized air for visualization purposes and released at the end of the surgery. Traditionally, TAP blocks are performed by injecting long-acting local anesthetic agents under ultrasound guidance into the abdominal wall after abdominal surgery after the air has been emptied from the abdomen for additional anesthetic coverage post-operatively. This study proposes a novel approach: that performing TAP blocks while the abdomen is still insufflated will result in better post-operative pain outcomes as compared to the traditional method.
Pain following open reduction of mandibular fractures is the most reported complaint during the first 24 post-operative hours. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of inferior alveolar nerve block with bupivacaine 0,5% in patients with mandibular fractures. The main question it aims to answer are: - Does the inferior alveolar nerve block with bupivacaine reduce the intensity of pain after mandibular fracture surgery? - Does the inferior alveolar nerve block with bupivacaine decrease the consumption of analgesics during the first 24 postoperative hours? Participants with bifocal mandibular fractures will be enrolled in the study (a fracture should be located on the dentate portion of the right hemi-mandible, and a second fracture located on the dentate portion of the left hemi-mandible). Each patient will receive either a right or left inferior alveolar nerve block. The patient: - Will be asked to estimate the pain score by the numerical rating scale during the first 24 postoperative hours for each fracture. - They will be given rescue analgesia in case of intense pain. The number of uses of rescue analgesia will be noted. Researchers will compare a group of fracture that will receive the inferior alveolar nerve block with bupivacaine with a group of fracture that will not receive the inferior alveolar nerve block, to see if regional anesthesia improve postoperative pain management of mandibular fractures.
fear of the discomfort that comes with anesthetic needle insertion. For dental local anesthesia, needles with a scalpel-designed bevel have been claimed to decrease pain elicited by injection. Objective of the study: The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of needle bevel on patient's perception of pain during inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia and the needle tip will be further assessed for deformation. Materials and Methods: The study will be a double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial, with a parallel design. A total of sixty-six healthy children will be selected from The Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health Clinic, Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University, Egypt. Children will be selected with scores 3 or 4 Frankel behavioral rating scale. Written consent will be obtained from the legal guardian. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups according to the type of needle bevel that will be used. Group I (test group) will receive inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) using a double scalpel blade bevel needle, while group II (control group) will receive IANB using a standard blade bevel needle. All the procedures will be videotaped. Pain reaction will be evaluated subjectively using a face scale modified from the Maunuksela scale and objectively using the Sensory, Eye, and Motor (SEM) scale. After the respective single injection, the needles will be fixed on an object slide and prepared for microscopic examination.
Surgical fixation for acute clavicular fractures is increasingly preferred among orthopedic surgeons to improve healing and decrease the risk of malunion. Regional anesthesia for clavicular fractures allows rapid recovery, prolonged postoperative analgesia, and less opioid consumption, and so decreases the hospital stay. There is no consensus regarding the best regional anesthetic technique for surgical fixation for acute clavicular fractures. Selective supraclavicular nerve block combined with either superior trunk or clavipectoral fascial plane block is a promising regional anesthetic technique for midshaft clavicular surgeries.
This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacies of the modified pectoral plane block (PECS II) and the midpoint transverse process to pleura block (MTP), after modified radical mastectomy (MRM) surgery during the first 24 hour post-operatively by using the Visual Analogue Scale.
The length of hospital stay after total hip and knee arthroplasty is determined based on the successful mobilization of the patients post surgery. Fast track pathways involving early mobilization and discharge of the patient on the same day of surgery, shortens the hospital stay and reduces the risk of adverse effects. The long acting LA (bupivacaine) is most commonly used in spinal anesthesia for arthroplasty surgeries and is associated with a prolonged motor and sensory block. In contrast, hypobaric bupivacaine and hypobaric mepivacaine helps in achieving the desired block level with smaller dosage and shorter onset time and faster recovery when compared to long acting local anesthetics. The aim of the study is to observe the effects of hypobaric local anesthetics ( bupivacaine and mepivacaine ) in patients undergoing unilateral total hip or knee arthroplasty in terms of time to onset and time to recovery of the block and also its effect on hemodynamic stability and time to mobilization after surgery. This study will allow the investigators to recommend optimal dosing strategies that in turn will help in faster recovery from spinal anesthesia and early mobilization thereby reducing harmful outcomes.
