Filter by:Cesarean section is one of the painful operations that require adequate postoperative analgesia. Patients are divided into two groups: Multimodal (DMM) group ( 30 patients): patients will receive spinal anesthesia with 10-12.5 mg bupivacaine and 1 ml containing 2 mg dexamethasone, 50 µg morphine, and 500 µg midazolam. Morphine (M) group (30 patients): patients will receive spinal anesthesia with 10-12.5 mg bupivacaine and 1 ml containing 200 µg morphine
Objectives: To compare the effectiveness of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and rectus sheath block (RSB) in providing postoperative analgesia after supraumbilical surgery in adult patients and their impact on the patient's outcomes. Background: Supraumbilical surgery for hernia repair is the second-most-popular after surgical inguinal hernia repair and is accompanied by moderate to severe postoperative pain, so patients always require large doses of opioids within the first postoperative day. Because opioids have several adverse effects such as drowsiness, pruritus, nausea, and vomiting, regional analgesic techniques are an essential component of postoperative opioid-sparing analgesia. Previous studies have shown that regional analgesic techniques after abdominal wall surgeries can be an essential element of a postoperative pain management strategy with minimal adverse effects and hemodynamic responses. ESPB provides both somatic and visceral analgesia to the abdominal wall, through the blockade of the anterior rami of spinal nerves and the rami communicants involving sympathetic nerve fibers. RSB provides analgesia to the anterior abdominal wall from the xiphoid process to the symphysis pubis, through the blockade of the anterior rami of the 7th to 12th intercostal nerves. The dermatomal distribution of ESPB and RSB makes them ideal regional analgesic techniques after abdominal surgery, and to our knowledge, there were no previous trials that studied the difference between them. Patients and Methods: This was a prospective, randomized (1:1), double-blind clinical trial; carried out on 60 patients scheduled for elective supraumbilical surgery under general anesthesia at our hospital. Patients will be randomly allocated into two equal groups (30 patients each) and will receive: in group E; general anesthesia with postoperative bilateral ultrasound-guided ESPB, whereas in group R; general anesthesia with postoperative bilateral ultrasound-guided RSB.
The study will compare Ultrasound-Guided Lumbar Erector Spinae Plane Block and caudal block for Postoperative Analgesia in Hip and Proximal Femur Surgery in pediatric patients
This study is looking to see if a regional block placed on each side of the incision after surgery helps with pain relief. Ultrasound-guided pectointercostal fascia blocks will be placed at the conclusion of surgery following application of dressings. Patients will be in the supine position with the surgical drapes in place. The blocks are performed using a high frequency linear transducer with aseptic technique. The investigators hypothesize that placement of PIF blocks and catheters will decrease acute postoperative pain from midline sternotomy in fast track cardiac surgery patients compared to the current standard of care. A physician will place an ultrasound guided pecto-intercostal fascial plane blocks bilaterally at the conclusion of surgery. They will also leave a catheter, similar to a small IV, between the muscle layers where the freezing medication goes. This will let the investigators give more freezing medication over the first 24 hours after surgery. The freezing medication blocks the pain signals from travelling to your brain from your incision, which might help participants need fewer narcotics after surgery. Some of the research on this block shows a trend toward reduced pain, but the use of a catheter to allow repeat doses of freezing medication has not been studied. The investigators hope to show that this regional block means participants need less opioids (narcotics) in the first 2 days after their heart surgery. In order to see whether the regional block is helpful there will be two groups of study participants. Both groups will receive infusion catheters covered with opaque bandages however one group will receive the study drug (ropivacaine) and the other will not (placebo). To reduce the risks to placebo group participants, those participants will have a catheter taped to their skin surface under an opaque dressing. This will give the illusion of block placement without the risks of a needle poking through skin. Both groups will still be given pain medications by IV or by mouth as needed after the surgery.
Postoperative pain control is a significant challenge in medical practice. Inadequate pain control could decrease patient's satisfaction, delay postoperative ambulation, increase the incidence of pulmonary and cardiac complications and cause the development of chronic postoperative pain. Laparoscopic surgical techniques could decrease postoperative pain and opioid consumption. The addition of regional techniques to general anesthesia showed better pain management and less consumption of opioids compared to the traditional techniques. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block versus quadratus lumborum block regarding postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Post craniotomy pain is defined as headache developed up to 7 days from a craniotomy, not otherwise explained. A moderate to severe pain affects from 60 to 84% of patients. Sphenopalatine ganglion block has been successfully used in patients with chronic or acute headache, facial pain and for transsphenoidal pituitary and endoscopic sinus surgeries. There are evidences that sphenopalatine ganglion block reduces vegetative responses to skull pin closure. This study aim to investigate feasibility and efficacy of sphenopalatine ganglion block in reducing pain after a neurosurgical supratentorial craniotomy.
This study plans to learn more about postoperative pain management after cesarean deliveries (C-sections). As a part of standard of care, the Children's Hospital Colorado's Colorado Fetal Care Center (CFCC) follows the standard Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean (ERAC) guidelines to manage pain following C-section delivery. In addition, the CFCC uses an FDA approved medical device called the ON-Q ® Pump, which continuously delivers local anesthetic medication to control pain in the area of your procedure. The local anesthetic used is bupivacaine, which is FDA approved for use to control local pain after C-sections. The CFCC has found a significant reduction in opioid use after adopting both of these procedures. The study aims to determine if the ERAC protocol or ON-Q ® Pump continuous infusion is responsible for lower opioid use by comparing bupivacaine (treatment) versus saline (placebo) groups.
this study will aim to evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine, dexamethasone and Ondansetron on the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting in children undergoing dental rehabilitation surgery.
This is a national retrospective and prospective, multicenter, observational patient registry to record outcomes from patients undergoing cryoablation of the intercostal nerves (cryoanalgesia) for post-operative pain management.
Although considered a minimally invasive procedure, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) frequently results in moderate to severe immediate postoperative pain.
