Filter by:Background: Although Inguinal herniotomy in children is taken as a day care procedure, post-operative pain management still remain controversial in these cases and superiority of wound infiltration, caudal block or regional block over each isn't known. Objective: The objective of the study was compare regional block, caudal block and wound infiltration for post-operative pain management in children undergoing inguinal herniotomy
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) affects all age groups and can lead to increased morbidity and more extended hospital stays. Dexmedetomidine reduces POCD by inhibiting the increase in proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α, and its anti-inflammatory activity contributes to its protective effect. Previous studies found that dexmedetomidine reduced POCD incidence in non-cardiac and cardiac surgery. Therefore, the goal of this study was to specifically investigate if using TCI dexmedetomidine to maintain anaesthesia in laparotomy surgeries reduces the incidence of POCD compared to inhalation anaesthesia by sevoflurane.
This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of a hydrogen carbamide/peroxide gel, called UNISEPT® ORAL GEL, in promoting oral wound healing, alleviating postoperative symptoms, and enhancing oral hygiene. Study participants will include individuals with any suspicious lesion in their gums or the roof of their mouth. They will undergo a procedure to remove a small piece of tissue for testing (biopsy) in order to confirm the diagnosis.This is a standardized diagnostic procedure that involves the use of a punch, which is a plastic handpiece with a cylindrical cutting blade. Subsequently, the wound heals naturally without the need for sutures. Researchers are comparing this gel with a placebo (a look-and-taste-alike substance that contains no active ingredients) to see if it is helpful with healing of wounds in the mouth and associated symptoms, improving oral hygiene. Participants randomly get the hydrogen carbamide/peroxide gel or the placebo one to use for 14 days after the biopsy. The researchers will not know which one they are providing as the gel tubes will be identical. Oral wound healing, postoperative symptoms (such as pain, eating and speech difficulties), oral hygiene (dental plaque and gingival inflammation) and quality of life are assessed during a 14-day period after the biopsy. Participants are required to visit the clinic three times, one for the initial biopsy, one at 7 days and one at 14 days after the biopsy. They are asked to fill in some questionnaires, while certain procedures (taking a photo the site of the biopsy) and assessments (like evaluating the dental plaque and gingival inflammation) take place. During the first week they, also, keep a diary of their symptoms, as instructed.
Introduction: The aim of this study comparing the post operative pain after the retreatment of asymptomatic and symptomatic teeth that during single visit treatment with rotary and reciprocal nickel titanium files. Methods: One hundred and forty one patients scheduled for non-surgical endodontic retreatment were included for evaluation. Eighty five patients who needed endodontic retreatment were assingned to 2 groups according to semptomatic or asemptomatic teeth and 4 subgroups with rotary and resiprocal files. Endodontic filling material was removed with One Flare and MicroMega REMOVER files in the retreatment kit. Patients then recorded their postoperative pain on a VAS scale at 24h, 48h, 72h, 7 days and 14 days post-treatment. Results were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn-Bonferroni and Pearson Chi-square tests.
Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumour among females with an incidence of about 2.1 million women every year.Nearly about 40-60% of breast surgery patients develop severe acute postoperative pain.⁴ Opioids are the current best standard drugs for postoperative pain relief, however, exposure to large doses of opioids leads to multiple side effects like prolonged sedation, respiratory depression, nausea, and vomiting.We are comparing two different drugs and their combination for perioperative analgesia for MRM. This work is a comparative study that aims to compare the analgesic effects of perioperative IV infusion of dexmedetomidine, preoperative oral gabapentin, and their combination in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy surgery regarding the time of first rescue analgesia, postoperative morphine consumption, and possible complications.
This study evaluates postoperative pain and radiographic healing of asymptomatic posterior teeth with chronic apical periodontitis following root-canal treatment performed using EndoActivator for irrigation activation.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of epidural patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) on postoperative pain relief after lumbar spine surgeries. The eligible patients received two types of postoperative pain management: PCA and standard pain treatment. Comparisons between the two groups were made in terms of postoperative pain level.
Prospective Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial to Compare Intrathecal Dexmedetomidine Versus Midazolame in Orthopedic Cancer Surgeries
The introduction of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks into the preoperative care regimen at Shouldice Hospital for inguinal hernia repair marks a significant shift in pain management strategies. While Shouldice Hospital has traditionally not employed this technique, recent literature highlighting its potential benefits has prompted its trial within their patient population. Research in this area, although limited, suggests promising outcomes. Studies such as those by Beaussier et al. (2005) and Nehra et al. (1995) have demonstrated decreased postoperative pain and opioid use, as well as increased mobility associated with the use of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks. However, concerns such as orthostatic hypotension and rebound pain have also been noted, indicating the need for careful consideration and monitoring of potential adverse effects. More recent studies, particularly those focusing on the Lichtenstein repair, have further supported the potential benefits of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks. Kacmaz and Bolat (2020) found improved patient satisfaction, reduced opioid consumption, and shorter hospital stays associated with nerve block techniques. Additionally, the use of adjuncts such as dexamethasone has shown promise in reducing rebound pain and opioid requirements postoperatively. The purpose of evaluating the use of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks at Shouldice Hospital is multifaceted. Not only does it aim to enhance patient care and satisfaction by improving pain management strategies, but it also provides valuable insights for anesthetists and surgeons regarding the utility and efficacy of this technique within the context of inguinal hernia repair. Furthermore, the trial may facilitate the refinement of current practices, potentially leading to standardized protocols that optimize patient outcomes while minimizing adverse effects. In summary, the introduction of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks at Shouldice Hospital represents a proactive approach toward enhancing perioperative care for inguinal hernia patients. By leveraging emerging evidence and adapting to evolving clinical practices, the hospital stands to benefit from improved patient outcomes and potentially contribute to the advancement of pain management strategies in hernia surgery.
Transversus Abdominis plane (TAP) block is a regional technique for providing analgesia of the anterolateral abdominal wall. TAP block are commonly given in patients who have undergone various abdominal as well as pelvic surgeries such as caesarean section, hysterectomy, appendicectomy and various laparoscopic surgeries. this study is conducted to analyse the effect of addition of dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine in Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block.
