Filter by:Between January 2021-2023, 65 consecutive patients at risk for PAL (defined in accordance to "2019 Society of Thoracic Surgery score-criteria of PAL") underwent lung resection (lobectomy or sublobar resection) for malignancy. 5 patients were lost. The remaining have been assigned with a 1:2 randomization into: group A (22 patients), received intra-operative phrenic nerve infiltration with Ropivacaine 10 mg/ml in the peri-neurotic fat on the pericardium and group B (38 patients), did not receive infiltration. Data on hemidiaphragm elevation, air leaks, pain at 24 and 72 hours post-surgery, shoulder pain, length of hospital stay, length of chest tube permanence, were retrospectively collected and compared.The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of intra-operative phrenic nerve infiltration with long acting anesthetic in patients at high risk for PAL, improving pulmonary expansion after surgery, and reducing air leaks, while controlling post-operative pain.
The aim of this study is to compare between Thoracic Epidural Analgesia (TEA) with ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane (ESP) block in radical cystectomy surgery for analgesic efficacy and hemodynamic effects
Brief summary The goal of this study is to compare the effects of advanced platelet rich fibrin and enamel matrix derivative placed in the extraction alveoli of patients who had surgical removal of mandibular wisdom teeth. The questions it aims to answer/evaluate are: - postoperative pain, swelling, trismus, early wound healing using soft tissue healing index - level of early local inflammatory response by measuring levels of inflammatory mediators in wound exudate - degree of wound healing by measuring levels of early wound healing mediators in wound exudate - incidence of alveolar osteitis and delayed infection - levels of probing depth, clinical attachment loss, gingival margin level, bleeding on probing, gingival index, plaque index of the second mandibular molar 3 months after surgery Participants of the study will be asked: - for their preoperative clinical measurements (swelling, trismus, periodontal parameters) to be taken by the principal investigator - to provide 20 ml of venous blood if necessary - to preoperatively provide gingival crevicular fluid in the region of distal surface of the second mandibular molar and postoperatively wound exudate - to note the number of painkiller pills taken after surgery and pain levels in different time points - to come to regular checkups in which clinical measuring of postoperative swelling, trismus levels and periodontal parameters will be performed
In this study, the effect of acupressure on postoperative pain level in women with abdominal gynecologıcal surgery will be studied and it will be conducted as a randomized controlled intervention study to examine the relationships with each other.The sample group will consist of 102 women, 51 in the intervention group and 51 in the control group.Within the scope of the study, the data will be collected using the 'Personal Information Form and Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ)' created by the researcher. Data will be analyzed using SPSS-26 package.
The goal of this randomised clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of cryotherapy on postoperative pain after primary and secondary root canal treatment. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Dose cryotherapy help reduce postoperative pain after primary root canal treatment. - Dose cryotherapy help reduce postoperative pain after secondary root canal treatment. Participants will be randomly divided to receive either cryotherapy or irrigation with normal saline and the effect between the two groups in terms of postoperative pain will be compared after primary and secondary root canal treatment.
Surgical treatment is the most effective way to achieve effective and sustainable weight loss in patients with obesity and to improve the comorbidities caused by it. Although minimally invasive bariatric surgical procedures are applied today, postoperative pain is one of the most basic problems. Opioid-derived drugs used for pain control cause respiratory depression and constipation. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols recommend reducing opioid use after bariatric surgery to help patients have a healthier postoperative period. Different methods such as transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and erector spinae plane (ESP) block are used to reduce the postoperative opioid dose and for effective pain control. While these methods are effective in controlling somatic pain, they have no effect on visceral pain. It has been shown that patients' pain and opioid consumption decrease especially after celiac plexus block. Vagal and sympathetic afferent stimuli from the gastrointestinal tract, on the other hand, stimulate the vomiting center and cause nausea and vomiting. Paragastric neural block is a new method performed by injecting local anesthetic into the posterosuperior paragastric area in the area covering the left gastric artery by revealing the esophagogastric junction, proximal stomach, middle of the stomach, distal antrum, hepatoduodenal ligament and stomach posterior along the border of the lesser omentum. In this way, it is aimed to prevent both visceral pain and the symptoms of nausea and vomiting. In our study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of paragastric nerve block applied during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy by comparing it with the control group.
In recent years , the popularity of ultrasound-guided fascial plane blocks has increased in achieving an effective postoperative analgesia and hence achieving enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) . Mastering the use of ultrasound encourages anesthetists on the frequent use of regional anesthesia . Fascial plane blocks are increasingly becoming a part of multimodal analgesia as an alternative pain management strategy in cardiac surgery. Various regional techniques especially paravertebral plane blocks have been recently described to reduce the postoperative pain in cardiac surgery with enhanced recovery . Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block is a recently introduced technique for regional analgesia in thoracic neuropathic pain, rib fractures, and breast surgeries. This study aims to compare between the two techniques regarding their peri-operative analgesic effect and their impact on enhanced recovery after surgery.
This study is designed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of ketamine compared to neostigmine as adjuvants to LA in ultrasound guided Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) in patients undergoing Modified Radical Mastectomy. We hypothesize that adding either neostigmine or ketamine to bupivacaine in ultrasound guided SAPB would increase the total analgesic duration and decrease the total 24 hr postoperative Nalbuphine consumption compared to SAPB with bupivacaine only. The first 24 hr of postoperative Nalbuphine consumption is set as the primary outcome. The time of the first request of analgesia, pain score, side effects of drugs and patient hemodynamics are set as the secondary outcomes.
This project consists of a randomized controlled study design. Study candidates will include all patients 18 years or older, who were evaluated at UCSD and found to have an orthopaedic injury requiring surgery. Patients who consent to study participation will be randomized to receive either the multimodal pain management protocol or standard oral hydrocodone-acetaminophen for post-operative pain management. Data on opioid usage, pain control, and functional status will be collected for each participant. After 3 years of data collection, investigators will analyze this data to provide further insight in determining appropriateness of pain regimens that reduce the overall opioid consumption. Given the widespread opioid epidemic, it is imperative to develop alternative means to appropriately manage pain in orthopaedic surgery patients.
To ensure early mobilization, minimize suffering, and to prevent postoperative complications postoperative pain, should be reduced as soon and as effectively as possible. A non-pharmacological post-operative intervention in terms of the application of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), could have the potential to accelerate early mobilization and reduce the use of opioids. The overall aim is to demonstrate that the addition of TENS to standard postoperative pain management of orthopedic patients can alleviate pain during mobilization and at rest
