Filter by:This clinical trial aims to determine the optimal timing for administering a Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block in bariatric surgery, specifically investigating whether initiating TAP blocks at the beginning of surgery is more beneficial than at the end, which is the current practice. The study targets obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery, with a focus on reducing postoperative pain and opioid use. Key outcomes include recovery duration, pain levels, opioid consumption, and respiratory function. Successful results could establish early TAP block initiation as a standard practice, offering faster recovery, decreased opioid reliance, and reduced healthcare costs.
Compare the effectiveness of tapentadol and tramadol as part of a multimodal analgesia treatment for Total Knee Replacement (TKR).
Clavicular fractures represent a common occurrence often necessitating effective pain management strategies, particularly following surgical interventions. This study involved a cohort of five patients who underwent clavicular fracture surgery under general anesthesia. A novel analgesic approach combining two distinct nerve block techniques-Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block (SPSIPB) and Clavipectoral Plane Block (CPB)-was employed for postoperative pain control. The procedural methodology encompassed the administration of SPSIPB preceding anesthesia induction, followed by CPB subsequent to induction. SPSIPB targeted specific neural regions responsible for sensory blockade within the innervation of the clavicular skin, whereas CPB focused on the clavipectoral fascia. Standard anesthesia protocols were utilized, and postoperative pain levels were evaluated using Numeric Rating Scores (NRS).
The goal of this before and after study is to measure the effectiveness of a home analgesia protocol after outpatient surgery in a tertiary hospital. The main question it aims to answer is: - Measure the impact of the protocol on the proportion of patients with a VAS greater than 3/10 on day one and who did not take the analgesics. The participants are divided into two groups. The control group leaves the hospital with instructions and prescriptions. The experimental group leaves the hospital with instructions, analgesics for a maximum of two days with detailed dosages and an explanatory booklet on postoperative pain.
Control of of pain in children is fundamental. TAP block is associated with less side effects compared with other neuraxial techniques especially when done under ultrasound guidance. Ketorolac has analgesic effect comparable to morphine. Children were arranged randomly into two equal groups, forty-five children in each. Group (K) (n= 45): received ultrasound guided TAP block with bupivacaine 0.25% (0.5 ml/kg) and ketorolac (0.5 mg/kg). Group (T) (n =45): received ultrasound guided TAP block with bupivacaine 0.25% (0.5 ml/kg)
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare postoperative pain score between perioperative intravenous ketamine and placebo in patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Can perioperative intravenous ketamine reduce postoperative pain score during rest and movement at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24 hours better than no administration of Ketamine in patients undergoing Unilateral total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia? - Can perioperative intravenous ketamine reduce morphine consumption in postoperative 24 hours, length of hospital stay, first time to receive opioid and side effect or complication from ketamine and opioid better than no administration of Ketamine in patients undergoing Unilateral total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia? Participants will receive intravenous ketamine intraoperative TKA and comparison group will receive placebo that is normal saline. Researchers will compare perioperative intravenous ketamine and placebo to see postoperative pain score, morphine consumption in postoperative 24 hours, length of hospital stay, first time to receive opioid and side effect or complication from ketamine and opioid.
After the approval of the ethics committee, the files of the patients who underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery between 01.01.2019 and 01.03.2020 were evaluated retrospectively. Data were recorded including age, gender, duration of anesthesia, duration of surgery, postoperative analgesia consumption, complications such as respiratory distress due to hemidiaphragmatic paralysis and complications such as hematoma and nerve damage due to block intervention.
In this study, the invistigators aim to compare postoperative analgesia effectiveness between combined interspace between the popliteal artery and posterior capsule of the knee block (IPACK) and Adductor canal block vs. Adductor canal block alone after Arthroscopic knee surgeries focusing on VAS score assessment at 8 hours postoperative.
The use of multi-model patient education has been used in a variety of medical specialties to educate patients on expectations for various medical procedures and improve patients' understanding of their own health care. However, it is unknown what type of audio and/or visual materials work best in a given clinical setting. By surveying overall pain/post-operative recovery satisfaction we can measure how well our video intervention educates and reinforces post-operative management at home when compared to the current method of education that patients receive at the pre-operative visit prior to laparoscopic hysterectomy at this institution.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness and safety of non-dressing (exposed wound) versus dressing techniques in postoperative wound management for patients with gastrointestinal tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does non-dressing of postoperative wounds in gastrointestinal tumor surgery provide equivalent or better wound healing compared to traditional dressing techniques? 2. Can non-dressing of postoperative wounds reduce patient pain and healthcare costs? Participants in this study, who are diagnosed with gastrointestinal tumors and undergoing surgery, will be randomly assigned to either the non-dressing group or the dressing group. The non-dressing group will have their surgical wounds left exposed after initial postoperative care, while the dressing group will receive regular wound dressing changes every 48-72 hours. Researchers will compare these two groups to see if there are differences in the rate of wound complications, pain levels, and overall healthcare costs. This study aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for postoperative wound care in gastrointestinal tumor surgeries, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing medical expenses.
