Filter by:OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of Ketorolac versus Paracetamol as an adjunct to Nalbuphine in the management of post-operative pain following elective cardiac surgery. STUDY DESIGN: Randomized (single-blind) control trial. SAMPLING TECHNIQUE: Computer generated, randomized selection of patients with 50% probability of assignment into either group. PLACE AND STUDY DURATION: (single center) SICU at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases Hospital, Karachi over a period of six months, from January 1, 2021 up to June 30, 2021. METHODS: Sixty patients (30 in each group) were randomly assigned to receive either Paracetamol (control) or Ketorolac (treatment), along with the usual Nalbuphine infusion, over the first 48 hours postoperatively. The control group received injection Paracetamol 1gm six hourly, whereas treatment group received injection Ketorolac 30mg eight hourly. PRIMARY OUTCOME: The VAS (pain score) was evaluated at 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours post-extubation and a score of 4 or less was taken as a cut-off for adequate pain control. SECONDARY OUTCOMES: The time taken to extubation postoperatively. The total dose of Nalbuphine administered to each patient and total chest tube drainage recorded over 48 hours postoperatively.
This is a randomized controlled trial involving 170 opioid naive women ages 19-40 undergoing scheduled C-sections at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital. Participants are randomized to receive either 10 or 20 tabs of oxycodone 5mg as an initial postoperative prescription in a double-blinded parallel trial design. Outcome metrics related to overall opioid consumption and patient satisfaction with pain management are collected at three different time points post-operative: 2-3 days (in hospital), 10-14 days, and 6 weeks.
The aim of this study is to investigate the comparative effects of hold relax technique and mulligan mobilization on pain, ROM and function in post operative knee joint.
Comparison between the analgesic effect of local infiltration of either Bupivacaine or ketamine in the peritonsillar area before the incision of tonsillectomy to achieve postoperative analgesia
This study will assess the efficacy of two local anesthetics (2% lidocaine 1:100,000 epinephrine and 0.5% bupivicaine 1:200,000 epinephrine) in reducing post-operative pain in patients receiving endodontic treatment.
It was proven that intrathecal opioids are considered as an effective means of pain control in several major surgical interventions including spine surgeries. Intrathecal morphine added to a spinal anesthesia reduces acute pain after spine surgeries but has side effects, including dose dependent respiratory depression, nausea, vomiting, pruritus, and sedation. Ultrasound guided Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) was first described in 2016.Recent case reports suggest a positive effect of ultrasound guided ESPB on pain for multiple indications including lumbar spine fusion and scoliosis surgery, with a very low risk of complications as there are no structures in close proximity at risk of needle injury.
Different modalities ranging from patient controlled analgesia (PCA) to different regional blocks have been used to control postoperative pain after thoracic surgeries. Thoracic epidural analgesia and paravertebral blocks are effective modes of pain relief but have the risks of severe complications and side effects which include severe hypotension, nerve injury or spinal cord injury, vascular injury and pleural injury etc. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is relatively new regional technique which was described by Forero et al in 2016. Several studies have demonstrated an effective role of ESPB in controlling pain for thoraco-abdominal surgeries which include breast surgery, thoracic surgery and upper GI laparoscopy. Shim et al in their study showed that ESPB significantly reduced pain score in first 6 hours postoperatively in patients who underwent VATS. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of ESPB using catheter on postoperative 24 hours opioid consumption in video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS)
This interventional double-blind randomized controlled study was carried out on 60 cases underwent elective caesarean section delivery, they were divided into 2 groups; patients were randomly allocated into two equal groups; Group M: received intrathecal 150 microgram morphine in a 0.5 ml volume, mixed with 10 mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5 % in a 2 ml volume (total volume 2.5 ml). Group B: received intrathecal 10 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% 2ml volume + 0.5 saline (Total volume 3ml) and at the end of surgery patient received bilateral TAP block with 20 ml volume of 0.25% bupivacaine on each side.
The purpose of this prospective cohort study is to evaluate the opiate prescribing patterns post open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of wrist and ankle fractures at the Ottawa Hospital. The primary objective would be to examine the quantity and duration of opiates consumed by the study population, as well as the participant's overall satisfaction with pain control. the investigators will assess whether there is a discrepancy between the quantity of pills prescribed and what is being consumed. With the data collected, the secondary objective would be to create a standardized pain prescription, which the investigators would implement in the second phase of this prospective study. Opiate pills consumed, pain satisfaction and left-over narcotics would again be assessed. The overall goal of this study is to produce an appropriate standardized post-operative prescription, where the number of opiates prescribed mirrors what is being consumed. This would cut down on the quantity of left-over narcotics, helping to reduce the incidence of opiate dependency and diversion in the Ottawa community.
In the present study, we intended to evaluate the effect of music intervention on postoperative pain, nausea, and comprehensive recovery quality in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.
