Filter by:The safest and most effective post-operative pain control regimen after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) has been the subject of persistent research. This prospective study will compare post-operative pain control when managed either by a defined medication schedule or medication taken on an as-needed basis after functional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis. Prior to surgery, patients will be randomly selected to be in one of two treatment arms. One group will receive instructions to take specific medications (acetaminophen and ibuprofen on a specific schedule post-operatively. The second treatment groups will be instructed to take the same medications but on an as needed basis for pain. Patients will also be provided with an option of a limited supply of narcotic analgesics for pain should they be needed. Post-operative pain control will be assessed by the patient with a pain-diary documenting perceived levels of pain for 10 days post-operatively using a validated visual analog scale. At the conclusion of the study the records of medications taken along with pain responses will be compared between groups
A comparison between IPACK block and adductor canal block in post operative pain management
Standardized, quality and evidence-based nursing care after cesarean section is important to prevent or minimize complications that may occur after cesarean section. This evidence-based care will contribute to the shortening of the recovery period of the mother, the early start of postpartum bowel movements, the decrease in the perceived pain level, and the increase in postpartum comfort, thus facilitating the adaptation to new life and roles. On the other hand, although a limited number of studies reported the effects of reflexology, no study investigating the effect of reflexology on pain, comfort level and GIS motility developed after SD was found. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of foot reflexology on pain, intestinal motility and comfort after cesarean section. Hypothesis(s): H1: Foot reflexology after cesarean section reduces the level of pain perception. H2: Foot reflexology after cesarean section increases intestinal motility. H3: Foot reflexology after cesarean section increases postpartum comfort.
To determine the effectiveness of port site bupivacaine infiltration in postoperative pain reduction after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery is often associated with chronic pain syndrome, out of keeping with the extent of surgical dissection. This is thought to be because of damage to the intercostal nerves by compression and traction by the surgical equipment. Cryoanalgesia is long-standing technique that freezes nerves locally to temporarily block pain sensation, which is currently used to treat acute post-operative pain in lung dissections and the Nuss procedure. We intend to perform a trial to assess whether using cryoanalgesia on intercostal nerves intraoperatively, reduces post-operative pain following minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery.
Effect of caudal nalbuphine on postoperative emergence agitation in pediatrics undergoing infra-umbilical surgeries and pain assessment
Circumcision is one of the most commonly performed operations in the pediatric population and is a painful procedure. Circumcision is performed with two popular techniques, Plastibell and conventional dissection method (CDM). For intra-operative (OP) and post-OP pain relief, two commonly used local anesthetic techniques are caudal block (CB) and dorsal penile block (DPNB) plus ring block (RB) at the base of the penis. There are very few randomized controlled trials comparing these two methods of intra-OP and post-OP pain relief, for different surgical techniques and there is a lack of well-conducted studies comparing the quality of analgesia, need for rescue analgesia in the early post-OP period, complications, and parental satisfaction comparing these blocks. Furthermore, there is a lot of contradiction in the literature regarding the duration of analgesia produced with these techniques.
The aim of this study is to compare serratus anterior plane block and erector spinae plane block for postoperative analgesia after VATS as measured by the duration till 1st requirement of analgesia.
Reducing post-operative pain and reducing the use of opioid narcotics are independently valuable goals. Before studying newer techniques that may help us achieve these goals, we need objective data on how much pain normally occurs after breast surgery done with standard-of-care techniques. This study was designed to obtain baseline data.
All patients will be treated in a single session approach regardless of the group. All molars will be anesthetized either through infiltration in case of maxillary molars or inferior alveolar nerve block in case of mandibular molars using Octocaine 2% with epinephrine 1: 100,000 (Lidocaine HCl, Novocol Pharmaceutical, Ontario, Canada.). Rubber dam will be applied; and access will be opened using Endo access bur. In group A manual glide path will be established using manual thermal treated stainless-steel files in a watch winding maneuver. In group B glide path will be established using rotary Ni-Ti files in a reciprocating maneuver. Coronal flaring will be performed using Gates Glidden drill #3 in a brushing motion away from dangerous zone. Root canals will be copiously irrigated using 10 ml 2.5% sodium hypochlorite NaOCl (Clorox; Egyptian Company for household bleach, Egypt) delivered using 28 Gauge safety Steri Irrigation Tip (DiaDent Group International, Burnaby, BC, Canada) inserted 3 mm below cementoenamel junction. Working length will be determined using electronic apex locator Root ZX II (J. Morita Mfg. Corp, Kyoto, Japan) and confirmed radiographically using parallel technique with receptor holding device. Canals were irrigated again with 10ml 1.5% NaOCl, which was delivered 2mm coronal to apical canal terminus. Irrigation was hydro-dynamically agitated with EndoActivator device (Dentsply Maillefer, Baillagues, Switzerland) using blue tips #30/06 inserted 2mm short of working length for 60 seconds.
