Filter by:Patients who will undergo elective total knee arthroplasty surgery under spinal anesthesia will be included in the study according to the postoperative analgesia method applied: Group Control, Group FICB and Group 4in1. Peripheral nerve block will be performed with 30 ml %0.25 bupivacaine for Group FICB and Group 4 in 1 patients. Peripheral nerve block will not be performed on Group Control patients. Patient-controlled analgesia will be given to all three groups in the postoperative period. PCA is a pain palliation method routinely used in all patients postoperatively. NRS score, PCA tramadol consumption, PCA demand, need for additional analgesia, patient satisfaction, nausea and vomiting will be monitored 24 hours postoperatively. The aim of this study is to compare the perioperative analgesic effectiveness of patients who underwent fascia iliaca compartment block and 4 in 1 block in total knee arthroplasty surgery, with each other and with the control group.
Surgical interventions, while significant milestones in patients' physical recovery processes, can be a major source of concern for patients due to postoperative pain, which is also an important component of postoperative care. If postoperative pain is not managed properly, it can lead to increased levels of anxiety and fear, as well as deterioration in overall comfort and quality of life. The ineffective management of postoperative pain has economic and medical consequences such as patient dissatisfaction, delayed hospital discharge, increased rates of hospital readmission, and dissatisfaction with medical care. Therefore, effective management of postoperative pain is of great importance for patient well-being. Factors associated with postoperative pain have been reported in many studies. For example, being female and the type of surgery. Therefore, considering gender and type of surgery in the management of postoperative pain is crucial to optimize the recovery process for patients. In recent years, research on the use of innovative technologies such as virtual reality in the management of postoperative pain has increased. Virtual reality can reduce postoperative pain by creating a sense of being in a different environment for patients and diverting their attention away from pain.
Post-cesarean section (CS) pain is commonly treated with acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and opioid medications as needed following delivery. About 300,000 women annually who were exposed to opioids after CS will go on to use opioids chronically. Reducing the quantity of post-CS opioids has been shown to decrease the amount of opioids used without compromising pain control. Bridge is a small device that sits on the outer ear and works similarly to a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit to decrease pain sensation without medications. It has been shown to effectively reduce pain to decrease medication requirements after surgeries. This study aims to see if women receiving the Bridge device use need less pain medication than those without the device.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate patient-reported post-operative pain scores following minimally invasive tubal sterilization procedures to determine if a multimodal, non-opioid pain control regimen is non-inferior to a pain control regimen including opioids. The study team hypothesizes that with extensive counseling on pain management, multimodal medication use, and expectation with non-opioid methods can effectively eliminate the need for opioid prescriptions after laparoscopic salpingectomy.
Postoperative discomfort is a frequently seen adverse event after to caesarean operation. Early mobilization and bonding of the mother and her infant are typically impacted by this phenomenon. Nevertheless, the current state of postoperative analgesia and recovery remains inadequate in clinical settings. In the context of major abdominal surgery, opioids are often regarded as the preferred postoperative analgesic. Nevertheless, they possess adverse side effects that might impact the process of recuperation after surgery. These symptoms include nausea and vomiting, decreased bowel movement, and shallow breathing. One additional challenging consequence after surgery is the delayed restoration of bowel function, which has the potential to extend the duration of hospitalization and impede the initiation of oral feeding, resulting in gaseous colonic distension. The administration of lidocaine infusion has been shown to possess analgesic, anti-hyperalgesic, and anti-inflammatory characteristics. The use of intravenous lidocaine after surgery is postulated to have the dual effect of mitigating postoperative pain and expediting the resumption of bowel movements. Recent studies have shown that the administration of intravenous lidocaine, either as a single dosage or by continuous infusion, may have potential advantages in maintaining gastrointestinal motility and exerting an impact on biochemical pain mechanisms. However, the literature presents contradictory data about the effectiveness of lidocaine in providing sufficient postoperative pain relief and reducing postoperative ileus. Consequently, this study was conducted and aimed to assess the effect of intravenous intraoperative lidocaine on postoperative pain and early return of bowel function following elective caesarean section. This randomized clinical trial was conducted at Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University Hospitals from August till December 2023. A total of 60 pregnant women underwent elective caesarean section were enrolled and randomized into two groups; experimental group who received IV infusion of lidocaine starting with skin incision, which was maintained until skin closure and control group who received 0.9% normal saline at the same rate as that described in the experimental group. Both groups were compared as regard total operative time, medications given, start-stop time of the study drug infusion, and degree of pain using visual analogue scale, need for analgesics, time for first healing of normal intestinal sounds and time to first flatus and symptoms of lidocaine toxicity were recorded.
To retrospectively analyze the intraoperative and postoperative status of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy undergoing TA-BSM, and to estimate whether paravertebral nerve block can improve postoperative pain for these patients.
Total knee arthroplasty is a common surgery in routine clinical practice that, although it achieves an improvement in the functionality and quality of life of patients, it causes intense postoperative pain. In this regard, locoregional block techniques are commonly used for the immediate postoperative period. However, these techniques have the disadvantage of being of limited duration and the appearance of so-called "rebound pain" when their effect wears off. To counteract this problem and maintain adequate analgesic control over a longer period of time, the use of a transdermal fentanyl patch seems to be a good option, with advantages over the traditional approach of placing a morphine PCA. Specifically, the aims of the study are: the evaluation of the decrease in the rate of rebound pain after locoregional techniques using a transdermal fentanyl patch after primary knee arthroplasty, as well as the evaluation of non-inferiority in terms of functional recovery, analgesic efficacy and adverse effects compared to morphine PCA. Methods: This will be a prospective observational cohort study, with a total N of 106 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty who meet the study inclusion criteria. The numerical pain rating scale score will be collected at 6,8,12,24 and 26h from which the "rebound pain score" will be calculated. The need for pharmacological rescue will be assessed as well as the appearance of adverse effects at 12, 24 and 36h and finally the QoR15 scale will be assessed at 36h.
Vaginal hysterectomy is the preferred route of choice for women desiring hysterectomy to treat uterine pathology, including premalignant conditions and fibroids. Compared with an abdominal or a laparoscopic approach, VH has been associated with a shorter recovery time and faster return to daily activities. However, management of postoperative pain still remains challenging for patients undergoing VH. Duloxetine is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor commonly prescribed for the treatment of major depression and anxiety. Duloxetine also has been used in the treatment of chronic pain conditions, such as osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal pain In contrast, studies examining its use to ameliorate acute postoperative pain are limited to a single trial.12 More importantly, it remains to be determined whether perioperative duloxetine can improve the global quality of recovery after surgery. The study included the hypothesis that perioperative duloxetine would ease postoperative recovery in patients undergoing VH, and the Quality of Recovery-15 questionnaire (QoR-15) was to be used for evaluation
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive approach to anesthesia in patients with uterine myoma using pre-incisional infiltration of the anterior abdominal wall and presacral blockade of the hypogastric nerve plexus during laparoscopic myomectomy
This study is to investigate whether a different volume of ropivacaine, with the same prescribed dosage based on body weight, can affect block efficacy, duration and side effects in the first 24 hours postoperatively.
