Filter by:Does the use of periarticular Exparel in total knee arthroplasty prove to more effectively manage post operative pain control than another local analgesic, Ropivacaine, when both are used as part of a multimodal pain management approach? The investigators hypothesize that Exparel, a bupivacaine liposomal injectable suspension, will improve total knee arthroplasty postoperative pain with significant improvement of early function outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) is a better method for managing pain after liver resection compared to patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA). Currently, the standard pain control method for liver resection patients is IV PCA. There is not enough data on how epidural (PCEA) relieves pain and movement on a day to day basis after liver resection.
Currently, opioids are widely used for pain relief, but they often provide sub-optimal analgesia with occasional serious side effects. Preservative-free ketamine hydrochloride was introduced as a spinal anesthetic more than twenty years ago and found to have advantages over local anesthetics. Intrathecal dexmedetomidine provides an analgesic effect in postoperative pain without severe sedation. The objectives of this study were to compare the efficacy and safety of intrathecally administered dexmedetomidine, ketamine, or their combination when added to bupivacaine for postoperative analgesia in major abdominal cancer surgery.
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of a single injection adductor canal block (ACB) on pain scores within 24 hours post total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
The purpose of this study is to determine feasibility, perceived utility and sustainability of training local providers in ultrasound guided regional anesthesia for acute pain management in a limited-resource conflict setting.
