NCT ID: NCT05343299 Completed - Anesthesia, Local Clinical Trials

Postoperative Experience of 2 WALANT-type Modes of Anesthesia Used in Ambulatory Surgery of the Upper Limb.

ROPIWA
Start date: May 30, 2022
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Distal surgery of the upper limb under local anesthesia using the WALANT technique (Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet) has become the standard care in orthopedic surgery. The principle is that the operator infiltrates the whole surgical area with a 1% lidocaine solution combined with adrenaline (diluted to 1/200,000) so that all distal surgery of the upper limb can be performed without a tourniquet. Thus, the perioperative course and management of the patient in the operating room and the constraints inherent to general anesthesia are largely reduced. Also, the material cost is considerably reduced. However, WALANT often induces significant pain when the patient leaves the operating room to return home. This effect is related to the pharmacological formulation of lidocaine which has a short half-life (< 3h). To reduce this inconvenience of early block removal, adding a local anesthetic with a longer duration of action (ropivacaine) to lidocaine would extend the duration of the analgesic, improving postoperative experience and satisfaction. The main objective of this research is to evaluate the effect of two WALANT anesthesia protocols (with or without the addition of ropivacaine) on the postoperative experience of patients (QoR-40 questionnaire) 48 hours after outpatient hand surgery.

NCT ID: NCT05325372 Completed - Hand Surgery Clinical Trials

A Comparative Study Between Infraclavicular and Axillary Blocks for Assessment of Motor Power Using Handgrip Dynamometer

Start date: April 15, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Hand Surgery is surgery of the hand, the wrist, and the peripheral nerves of the upper limb. Many different types of surgeries can be performed on the hand, depending on the underlying cause of the problem such as Closed reduction and fixation, Tendon repair, Skin grafts, Skin flaps, Carpal Tunnel Release, and ganglion removal. Hand surgery is usually associated with marked postoperative pain. Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia is usually performed in patients undergoing hand surgery. This study aims to compare Ultrasound-guided infraclavicular block and axillary block and assess the degree of motor power and duration by testing hand grip strength using a hydraulic hand dynamometer in patients undergoing hand surgery. Objectives: To determine the degree of a motor block using a hydraulic hand dynamometer. To Estimate time needed to regain full motor activity. To identify whether ultrasound-guided axillary block may preserve motor function to a greater extent than infraclavicular blocks.

NCT ID: NCT04656834 Enrolling by invitation - Hand Surgery Clinical Trials

Hand Incision Study

Start date: November 30, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The cosmetic outcome of a patient's surgical scar is important for patient satisfaction, especially in more visibly exposed areas of the body such as the hand. A patient's surgical scar often serves as a long-term reminder of their surgery experience, so optimizing final scar appearance should be of high importance. Surgical incision closure techniques and suture materials may vary by individual hand surgeons, even with common hand procedures.

NCT ID: NCT04636463 Enrolling by invitation - Hand Surgery Clinical Trials

Music in Wide Awake Hand Surgery

Start date: November 30, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) surgery has emerged as a popular technique in hand surgery over the last decade. It is possible that the unfamiliar sounds of the operating room could contribute to intraoperative patient anxiety during WALANT surgery. This study intends to investigate whether utilizing noise cancelling headphones and listening to music intraoperatively during WALANT hand surgery has an effect on patient anxiety, pain, and satisfaction.

NCT ID: NCT04491656 Completed - Orthopedic Surgery Clinical Trials

Evaluating Clinical Outcomes for Determining the Optimal Delay to Skin Incision Under WALANT

WALANT
Start date: January 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Further studies are needed to establish the effects of WALANT in performing most common hand surgeries, in relation to its clinical outcomes and intraoperative blood loss. Therefore, this study aims to identify the best interval time to perform elective hand surgeries using WALANT technique, document clinical outcomes and identify potential complications

NCT ID: NCT04306666 Recruiting - Hand Surgery Clinical Trials

Early Rehabilitation After Hand or Wrist Ambulatory Surgery : How to Preserve Locomotion at Home Without Rebound Pain?

WalantBAX
Start date: December 30, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this retrospective study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of Walant " Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet " with lidocaine and bupivacaine versus axillary brachial plexus block using mepivacaïne, both performed by anesthesiologists, after hand or wrist ambulatory surgery. The main objective is to prove that Walant block improve pain relief at home measuring time to first analgesic request. The secondary objectives are to compare maximal pain, consumption of supplementary analgesics, and the duratin of sensory block between groups.

A Comparison of 4% Articaine Versus 0.5%Bupivacaine for Ambulatory Surgery Under Supraclavicular Block

Start date: December 30, 2019
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Effect of 2%Articaine versus 5%bupivacaine in pt undergoing short duration surgery in upper limb

NCT ID: NCT03632304 Completed - Anesthesia, Local Clinical Trials

Local Anesthesia With Minimal Sedation and Brachial Plexus Block in Hand Surgery

Start date: August 17, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

A major innovation in hand surgery in the last decade is the popularization of Wide Awake Hand Surgery (WAHS). This technique consists of numbing the surgical area with local anesthesia with epinephrine and allowing the patient to actively move their hand intra-operatively to assess the strength and quality of repairs or fixations. Despite its theoretical advantages, the application in clinical practice has seldom spread further than simple hand operations, such as carpal tunnel and trigger finger releases. In many institutions, the current standard of care for hand surgery is the brachial plexus block. The primary objective of the study to directly compare the effects of local anesthesia with minimal sedation, performed by the surgeon, and the brachial plexus block, performed by the anesthesiologist, on patient-reported quality of recovery. Currently, there are no studies in the surgical literature directly comparing patient-reported quality of recovery, post-operative pain control, or time efficiency between local anesthesia and the brachial plexus block in hand surgery. This lack of information is a major impediment to the acceptance and adoption of a simple yet effective anesthesia technique that may increase patient satisfaction and time efficiency in the operating room. This proposed prospective randomized controlled study will quantitatively compare local anesthesia and brachial plexus block on three fronts: 1) patient-reported recovery at 24-hours post-surgery using the validated Quality of Recovery 15 score (QoR-15), 2) post-operative pain and opioid use at 24-hours post-surgery, and 3) nonsurgical time (defined as the time elapsed from one surgery's end time to the next surgery's start time) as a metric for turnover efficiency. The investigators hypothesize that patients randomized to the local anesthesia group will have a more positive recovery experience, a similar pain profile compared to the brachial plexus block despite common beliefs, and a shorter anesthesia-related and nonsurgical time. The importance of patient-centered care cannot be understated in a successful and high-quality health care system. The results of this study will provide valuable information regarding the patient experience during their post- operative recovery.

NCT ID: NCT03512223 Recruiting - Hand Surgery Clinical Trials

Intravenous and Perineural Dexamethasone for Brachial Plexus Block in Hand Surgery

Start date: October 23, 2018
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to evaluate the if the administration of dexamethasone both around the nerve and in the vein (perineural and intravenous (IV)) will prolong the duration of pain relief from ropivacaine when compared with ropivacaine local block alone or when administered along with IV dexamethasone in patients undergoing hand surgery.
