Filter by:This study is planned as a randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of the 4-7-8 breathing technique applied to patients after bariatric surgery on pain and nausea and vomiting. The research will be conducted on 60 patients who underwent bariatric surgery between 05.2024-12.2024. Randomization will be ensured for students who meet the inclusion criteria, and they will be divided into two random groups: the experimental group (n=30) and the control group (n=30). After obtaining consent with the "Informed Consent Form," patients who agree to participate in the study will have the "Patient Introduction Form" filled out by researchers, and they will be provided with training on the 4-7-8 breathing technique. Patients will be instructed to practice the 4-7-8 breathing technique once per hour (4 breaths) post-surgery. Pain and nausea-vomiting will be monitored at 0, 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours during their 24-hour hospital stay. The control group, after consenting with the "Informed Consent Form" the day before surgery, will have the "Patient Introduction Form" filled out by researchers, and their pain and nausea-vomiting status will be monitored at the same intervals during their hospital stay. No interventions will be made for the control group; they will receive routine nursing care during their hospital stay.
This will be a prospective, obesity-registry based, single-blind randomized controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio. Specific inclusion criteria are all patients eligible to undergo a Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) based on the current National Institute of Health (NIH) patient selection guidelines. Patients should be able to give consent, be deemed medically-cleared to undergo elective surgery, and tolerate general anesthesia. All enrollments and surgeries in this study will take place at the Cleveland Clinic Bariatric and Metabolic Institute. The study will consist of 2 interventions: laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or robotic sleeve gastrectomy (RSG). The primary objective is early postoperative pain, but also surgeon ergonomics and patient quality of life will be compared. Additional outcomes include 30-day perioperative results, minor and major morbidities, serious adverse events, resolution of medical comorbidities, and weight loss in percent of excess weight lost (%EWL) at one year.
This study will consist of patients ages 6-18 who are undergoing a surgery on the hard or soft palate of the mouth (palatoplasty), with removal of bone from the front of the hip (anterior iliac bone graft harvesting). The patients will be randomized to receive either a unilateral QL block by an anesthesiologist, or local anesthetic infiltration at the surgical incision by the surgeon. The primary aim will be assessing post-operative pain in the first 48 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes will include pain medication use in the first 48 hours after surgery, block resolution time, and evaluating any complications associated with the QL block or local anesthetic infiltration.
Red light has been shown to be less harmful than blue light in vitro and in vivo. Although red light has been already introduced in the market and is currently being used in patients for several reasons, no data exist on the use of red light applied to restorative procedures. This study aims to specifically measure the in vivo temperature rise in simulated restorative procedures using blue light (standard) and red light and its post-operative sensitivity rates.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of maxillary nerve blockage on both postoperative pain scores and recovery quality index in septoplasty operations. Thus, it was aimed to determine an alternative method that can be used in postoperative analgesia that will suppress postoperative pain complaints and increase the comfort level of patients after septoplasty operations.
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of hypobaric and hyperbaric spinal applications on patient haemodynamics, duration of anaesthetic effect and postoperative analgesia. Thus, it was aimed to determine the method that protects haemodynamics more and suppresses postoperative pain complaints of patients better in this patient group with advanced age, comorbid systemic diseases and high risk of operation.
The patients will be randomized into 2 equal groups by a computer-generated random numbers table, named group A, B. Group A: patients will receive Pericapsular nerve group block and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve blocks. Group B: Patients will receive Erector spinae plane block block. After IV access insertion and oxygen nasal cannula application, monitoring will be applied for all patients, sedation in the form of midazolam 0.02mg/kg with or without fentanyl 0.5-1 mcg/kg will be administered to any of the patients who felt discomfort or could not tolerate the procedure. For (Group B) PENG block will be done before spinal anesthesia. LFCN block will be performed. For (Group A), ESP block will be done before spinal anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia will be chosen as the main anesthetic technique. In postoperative period all patients will receive the same adjuvant multimodal analgesia which will be 1000 mg of paracetamol with or without 30 mg ketorolac depending on comorbidities and depending on the patients" needs.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of an injectable combination of bupivacaine and meloxicam (Zynrelef) vs injectable liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel), two extended local anesthesia strategies currently approved by FDA and on the market for post-surgical pain control. The investigators plan on randomizing study participants to either Exparel or Zynrelef at the closure site of robotic sleeve gastrectomy and assessing their pain control postoperatively both in the hospital and at home. The investigators will measure the outcome of two drugs, Zynrelief, and Exparel on postoperative pain score -using the NRS pin score up to 72 hours after surgery. The total opioid use will be recorded in forms that will be used to measure pain score and total opioid use and will be collected to the Excel sheet. The cost of the drug will be calculated for internal use for Hospital purpose only.
This is a prospective, quasi-experimental, cohort study comparing patients treated with one of two postoperative pain management protocols. The two protocols assessed will be the current standard of care protocol for ACLR postoperative pain control utilized by Dr. Matthew Varacallo and then an opioid avoidance protocol that is planned to be implemented on the Spring of 2024. The study is voluntary, however all patients will be treated with either of the two protocols depending on their date of surgery. This study will include patients aged 15 years and older who consent to the participation in the study. Patients will be identified utilizing the operative surgeon's appointment calendar and will be screened and offered inclusion in the study if applicable at their pre-operative visit. Data will be collected via patient medication and pain diary, phone call, and clinician administration of standardized outcome questionnaires. Patients will be included in the standard of care group if ACLR is performed prior to the change in protocol in the Spring of 2024 or the opioid avoidance group if performed after the protocol change. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the opioid avoidance protocol on opioid use in MME from POD0-7 after ACLR compared to the current standard of care pain management protocol. Secondary objectives are to: - evaluate the effects of an opioid avoidance protocol on the daily average NRS pain scores from POD0-7 - evaluate the effects of an opioid avoidance protocol on the daily worst NRS pain score from POD0-7 - evaluate the ability to recover opioid free through 7, 30, and 60 days - evaluate the QoR-15 scores on POD2 - assess the number of opioid prescriptions required by patients in the 60 day recover period - assess KOOS pain and symptom scales at 8 weeks post-operatively between groups.
The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the analgesic effect of pericapsular nerve block (PENG) with intrathecal morphine in patients scheduled for total hip replacement surgery. The main question to be answered is whether the PENG block is equivalent to intrathecal morphine in reducing postoperative pain. Participants will be randomised into two groups. Patients assigned to the PENG group will receive spinal anaesthesia with local anaesthetic (isobaric bupivacaine) alone and a PENG block. Patients assigned to the intrathecal morphine (ITM) group will receive spinal anaesthesia with a mixture of local anaesthetic (isobaric bupivacaine) and morphine (100 mcg) and a sham PENG block to ensure patient blinding.
