Filter by:The goal of this study is to compare the efficacy in controlling postoperative pain of paravertebral block (PVB) with methylene blue visual confirmation and thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA). This is a single center, parallel-group, prospective study. Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either PVB or TEA. Primary end-point is pain relief measured with Postoperative Numeric Rating Scale. The secondary end-points are time to perform TEA and PVB, total opioid consumption, postoperative outcomes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare preemptive single-dose selective cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitor - etoricoxib and dexamethasone use in systemically healthy patients during the surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars. The main questions it aims to answer/evaluate are: - the level of inflammatory and early wound healing mediators in patients' saliva during early postoperative phase - clinical postoperative parameters such as pain, swelling and trismus - patient satisfaction with the treatment - rescue medication consumed during the postoperative period - incidence of adverse events Participants indicated for mandibular third molar surgery will be asked to: - take premedication (etoricoxib or dexamethasone) before surgical extraction - provide saliva samples before and following the surgery at regular check-ups - note the amount of rescue medication taken and pain intensity in different time points - perform clinical measurements of swelling and trismus at regular check-up visits - answer the questions about satisfaction and potential adverse events, if occur Researchers will compare preemptive single-dose etoricoxib, preemptive single-dose dexamethasone, and no premedication in impacted mandibular third molar surgery, to see if there are differences in inflammatory response and early wound healing, as well as in clinical postoperative parameters, patient satisfaction with the treatment and incidence of potential adverse events.
During general anesthesia, objective monitoring for analgesia is still lacking. The administration of opioids relies on the experience of the anesthesiologist. There are some monitors, e.g., Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI), showing that they can evaluate analgesia in adults. Recently, a Newborn Infant Parasympathetic Evaluation (NIPE) monitor was released for assessing analgesia in children with age less than 2 years. The investigators aim to assess the efficacy of NIPE as a guide for intraoperative fentanyl administration in children under 2 years.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common operations in abdominal surgery. Effective analgesia in the postoperative period; It is of great importance in terms of acceleration of recovery, prevention of atelectasis, reduction of endocrine and metabolic stress response, reduction of thromboembolic complications, protection of cognitive functions, prevention of chronic pain development, and reduction of hospital stay . Intravenous paracetamol, NSAID/cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitors, opioids, local anesthetic infiltration in the port area, intraperitoneal local anesthetic insufflation or plan blocks can be used in the treatment of postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Operation, tissue trauma, anesthesia, drugs given to the patient, type of anesthesia, blood loss, temperature changes and pain cause postoperative stress response
Regional anesthesia is an essential component of anesthesia and analgesia. It has many advantages, it decreases pain post operatively, improves patient outcome and allow early recovery and ambulation Post-operative pain following breast surgery results from injured muscles and nerves, management of acute post operative pain is a consistent factor for better outcome and patient satisfaction
Open gastrectomy causes severe postoperative pain due to wide surgical incisions, retraction of the abdominal wall and direct manipulation of the visceral organs. It leads to delayed postoperative recovery, increased medical expenses and poor surgical outcomes. Epidural analgesia, intrathecal morphine and patient-controlled analgesia are frequently used in the postoperative pain management of abdominal surgeries. Intrathecal morphine is applied as a standard protocol in many centers due to its ease of application and effective pain control. However; it has undesirable effects such as postoperative nausea-vomiting, itching and most importantly respiratory depression. Regional interfascial plane blocks, such as erector spina plane block, have recently been popular in clinical practice to provide postoperative pain control. Erector spina plane block, when placed preoperatively, is expected to reduce opioid consumption and improve outcomes. The primary implication of this study is to compare postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption. It is also aimed to compare the effectiveness of Numeric Rating Scale and Clinically Aligned Pain Assessment Tool used in postoperative pain assesment.
Retrolaminar block (RLB) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB) are alternative approaches to paravertebral block (PVB) and are advantageous in that they are easier and safer techniques compared with the traditional PVB. These blocks are considered to be compartment blocks or interfascial plane blocks. In these approaches, local anesthetics are assumed to penetrate the superior costotransverse ligament and reach the paravertebral space, although the needle tip is not advanced into the paravertebral space. the study aim to evaluate and compare the analgesic efficacy of retrolaminar plane block and erector spinae plane block.
Erector spinae plane (ESP) block is an interfacial plane block with visceral and somatic analgesic activity at paraspinal muscles. This study aims to examine the postoperative analgesic efficacy of ESP block after cesarean section (CS) with Pfannenstiel incision under spinal anesthesia.
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA), also known as a knee replacement, is a procedure performed to reduce severe pain and improve function of the joint. Managing postoperative pain can be challenging following TKA, and inadequate relief can lead to impaired mobility and persistent opioid use. Adductor canal nerve blocks (ACB), have shown significant benefit in improving postoperative analgesia and patient satisfaction. However, the local anesthetic used currently for these blocks only provides temporary relief that wears off within 24 hours. Liposomal bupivacaine is an extended-release local anesthetic agent that can provide up to 72 hours of pain relief, however it is unclear if its use is also effective in ACBs for knee surgery. The purpose of this study is to determine if liposomal bupivacaine is better than conventional bupivacaine in improving pain control, opioid consumption, and length of stay in patients scheduled for TKA.
To evaluate and compare the efficacy of single level injection erector spinae plane block versus double level injection Erector spinae plane block in laparotomies
