Filter by:The aim of the study was to find out whether addition of dexmedetomidine to lower concentration of ropivacaine preoperatively in femoral nerve block (FNB) would intensify analgesia and preserve quadriceps muscle strength after TKA.
The investigators will compare whether patients will have better pain control if they were to receive (PEC I/II block) before surgery or after mastectomy.
Investigators' goal is to determine whether Erector Spinae Plane Block would provide a better analgesia, help mobilization and early discharge or increase satisfaction for patients undergoing Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy(PNL). One of the two groups will receive ESP catheterization after general anesthesia conducted. The other group will receive routine analgesia protocol used for PNL. The total amount of drugs administered, pain scores(NRS) at certain time intervals and at certain events(removal of nephrostomy and pain at mobilization) will be recorded and compared.
In a randomized controlled crossover study design, ultrasound guided infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks will be performed with and without the aid of a needle tip tracking (NTT) system. Specialists in anaesthesiology with average experience in ultrasound guided PNB techniques will perform the blocks. 26 volunteers will be included. The primary objective is to investigate the effect of the NTT system on performance time, as a measure for improved block performance. Secondary objectives are the effects of the NTT system on dexterity, peripheral nerve block characteristics, subjective experience, and peripheral block performance.
Rib fractures are a common cause of respiratory distress in trauma patients as poor pain control and subsequent hypoventilation commonly results in lung tissue collapse (atelectasis). The current mainstay of treatment in rib fractures are oral and intravenous opioids however these are often ineffective and can also precipitate hypoventilation. Recently there has been interest in regional anaesthesia techniques for managing painful conditions of the thorax as a way to avoid pain and opioid related hypoventilation. These techniques include ultrasound guided nerve blocks such as the intercostal, paravertebral and serratus anterior blocks. The use of these techniques is however limited by minimal dermatomal coverage as well as a high incidence of complications The erector spinae plane block is a new, very promising technique which offers a safe means of providing anaesthesia to a large part of the hemithorax with a single injection. The proposed study will seek to establish whether the erector spinae plane block can be successfully used in the emergency department for pain control in patients with acute rib fractures.
Effect of perineural dexamethasone on the duration of popliteal nerve block after ankle/foot surgery
Stump and phantom pain after amputation are common, but the responsible mechanisms are still not clarified. It has been suggested that phantom limb pain can be reduced by regional anaesthesia and in several recent studies, pain was reduced following intrathecal and intraforaminal blocks. In this study, the investigators want to investigate if spontaneous and evoked pain in amputees will be relieved by regional nerve blocks involving the damaged nerves.
Laparoscopy is frequently used today for intraabdominal operations. Laparoscopic procedure has become the treatment of choice for many patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis. Patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy suffer from acute postoperative pain, despite a multimodal analgesic regime. This is a randomised controlled trial efficay of the Quadratus Lumborum (QL) Block in terms of analgesic efficacy in patients who undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Analgesia following tympanomastoid surgery is critical for the prevention of postoperative . There are very few regional anesthesia methods used to achieve this goal.
