Filter by:During functional endoscopic sinus surgery(FESS), low-pressure anesthesia is often applied, aiming to decreased operative blood loss, and anesthetics, narcotics and antihypertensive agents are given to achieve desirable low blood pressure. However, the dose of these medications given is usually decided subjectively based on the clinical experience of the care provider, placing the patient in a risky situation of narcotics overdosing or underdosing. Therefore, here is the question: Whether intraoperative analgesia guided by an objective pain monitoring device, such as the Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI), could decrease the amount of narcotics, other anesthetic agents, and blood loss in patients undergoing low-pressure anesthesia.
General anesthesia combined subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP)or rectus sheath block (RSB)can significantly reduce the use of opiates in minimally invasive surgery.However, similar reduction was not observed in open abdominal surgery during perioperative period.Therefore, the investigators should try to improve the blocking methods to reduce the side effects of a large number of opiates. Based on the range and its analgesic effect of various nerve block is obviously related to the injection site of local anesthetics, this randomized controlled study hypothesized that modified RSB under the guidance of surgical incision may be more effective in inhibiting the harmful stimulation of surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine how a non-opioid pain control regimen, administered before and during surgery, will affect postoperative pain control and total opioid consumption in head and neck cancer participants undergoing cancer surgery with free flap reconstruction.
Patients presenting for normal spontaneous vaginal delivery who have a neuraxial anesthestic will be randomized to receive preservative free morphine or saline placebo after delivery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how effective is the intraoperative use of lidocaine to attenuate postoperative pain and opioids consumption after laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. Mastectomy and axillary lymph node disection are commonly performed as part of the cancer management. This surgery can cause significant postoperative pain. The serratus plane block (SPB) has been described for analgesia of the hemithorax and reported for many cases such as thoracoscopy, shoulder arthroscopy, breast surgery and axillary lymph node dissections. Serratus plane block may be a viable alternative to current regional anaesthetic techniques such as thoracic paravertebral and central neuraxial blockade. The aim of this study is to determine effectiveness of ultrasound guided superficial serratus plane block in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection surgery.
Laparoscopic gastric-bypass surgery (LGBS) is one of the surgical treatments for morbid obesity, which is performed under general anesthesia. TAP block is an analgesic strategy covering the dermatomes from T6 to L1 and consists of injecting local anesthetic in the TAP between the costal margin and the iliac crest, where the thoracolumbar nerves (T6-L1) are located. As far as the investigators know, this analgesic technique has never been studied in LGBS. The investigators objective is to determine whether an ultrasound (US)-guided TAP block provides improved analgesia during the first 24 hours after laparoscopic gastric-bypass surgery, compared to conventional therapy only.
This is a prospective, double blind, randomized study is proposed in patients undergoing open radical prostatectomy: its objective is to establish whether continuous bilateral TAP blocks would provide adequate perioperative analgesia, decrease opioid consumption, reduce the incidence of opioid-related side effects, and facilitate surgical recovery (in terms of PACU and hospital discharge).
Intravenous lidocaine has been shown to have analgesic, antinflammatory, antihyperalgesic, antithrombotics and neuroprotective properties. In a previous study conducted in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia with desflurane and fentanyl, intraoperative i.v. infusion of lidocaine spared opioids consumption in the recovery room by 30%. The purpose of this study was to determine if an i.v. infusion of lidocaine without intraoperative opioids would reduce the amount of fentanyl to the same extent and opioids-related side effects.
