Filter by:Pain in patients undergoing posterior fossa surgery is regarded as more intense when compared to pain in patients undergoing supratentorial cranial surgeries. It may result in a rise in blood pressure and heart rate leading to serious effects as increased intracranial pressure and intracranial hemorrhage. For a long time, the control of pain has been the role of opioids. However, the use of opioids is not devoid of side effects. Hence, combining other techniques as partial scalp block with general anesthesia may be beneficial in controlling hemodynamics and decreasing the amount of opioids used without sacrificing the good quality of analgesia and anesthesia.
Medulloblastoma is a rapidly-growing tumor of the cerebellum, this area controls balance, posture and sophisticated motor functions like finer hand movements, speech, and swallowing. It has been reported that those children fall frequently so the purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of balance and coordination training in these Children.
The purpose of this study is to create a rehabilitation program for children who survived posterior fossa tumors using the latest technology. Supposed that training in Fitlight, Dynavision D2, NeuroTracker will improve executive functions, visual-motor integration, fine and gross motor functions.
Surgery within the posterior fossa is associated with the highest incidence and greatest severity of acute postoperative pain that may persist beyond the immediate postoperative period. The utilization of local nerve blocks of the scalp in children may provide analgesia with stable hemodynamics while reducing the need for other anesthetics such as inhaled anesthetics and opioids. This could in turn result in less side effects, higher patient and family satisfaction, and better outcomes. The use of ultrasound-guided greater occipital nerve block (GONB) for perioperative pain management of posterior fossa surgery in pediatrics is not previously reported.
