Filter by:Postoperative discomfort is a frequently seen adverse event after to caesarean operation. Early mobilization and bonding of the mother and her infant are typically impacted by this phenomenon. Nevertheless, the current state of postoperative analgesia and recovery remains inadequate in clinical settings. In the context of major abdominal surgery, opioids are often regarded as the preferred postoperative analgesic. Nevertheless, they possess adverse side effects that might impact the process of recuperation after surgery. These symptoms include nausea and vomiting, decreased bowel movement, and shallow breathing. One additional challenging consequence after surgery is the delayed restoration of bowel function, which has the potential to extend the duration of hospitalization and impede the initiation of oral feeding, resulting in gaseous colonic distension. The administration of lidocaine infusion has been shown to possess analgesic, anti-hyperalgesic, and anti-inflammatory characteristics. The use of intravenous lidocaine after surgery is postulated to have the dual effect of mitigating postoperative pain and expediting the resumption of bowel movements. Recent studies have shown that the administration of intravenous lidocaine, either as a single dosage or by continuous infusion, may have potential advantages in maintaining gastrointestinal motility and exerting an impact on biochemical pain mechanisms. However, the literature presents contradictory data about the effectiveness of lidocaine in providing sufficient postoperative pain relief and reducing postoperative ileus. Consequently, this study was conducted and aimed to assess the effect of intravenous intraoperative lidocaine on postoperative pain and early return of bowel function following elective caesarean section. This randomized clinical trial was conducted at Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University Hospitals from August till December 2023. A total of 60 pregnant women underwent elective caesarean section were enrolled and randomized into two groups; experimental group who received IV infusion of lidocaine starting with skin incision, which was maintained until skin closure and control group who received 0.9% normal saline at the same rate as that described in the experimental group. Both groups were compared as regard total operative time, medications given, start-stop time of the study drug infusion, and degree of pain using visual analogue scale, need for analgesics, time for first healing of normal intestinal sounds and time to first flatus and symptoms of lidocaine toxicity were recorded.
The goal of this prospective randomized clinical trial is to compare the impact of the chest tube type on pain, chest drainage efficacy and early postoperative outcome following VATS lobectomy for lung cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: - silicone chest drains are less painful compared to standard PVC drains? - is there any difference in chest drainage efficacy and short term outcome between the two groups? Researchers will compare silicone chest drain group with PVC chest drain group to see if there is any difference in postoperative pain, chest drainage efficacy and short term outcome.
The objectives of this clinical study were to assess the effect of different ITs and bone types on POP levels and survival rates and to investigate the effect of different patient- and site-related factors on POP levels and survival rates.
Background: Although Inguinal herniotomy in children is taken as a day care procedure, post-operative pain management still remain controversial in these cases and superiority of wound infiltration, caudal block or regional block over each isn't known. Objective: The objective of the study was compare regional block, caudal block and wound infiltration for post-operative pain management in children undergoing inguinal herniotomy
This study aims to analyze the effect of laparoscopic guided transversus abdominis plane (LG-TAP) block compared to placebo for postoperative analgesia following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. One group of participants received a (LG-TAP) block with local anesthetic while the other group received (LG-TAP) block with saline solution (placebo).
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) affects all age groups and can lead to increased morbidity and more extended hospital stays. Dexmedetomidine reduces POCD by inhibiting the increase in proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α, and its anti-inflammatory activity contributes to its protective effect. Previous studies found that dexmedetomidine reduced POCD incidence in non-cardiac and cardiac surgery. Therefore, the goal of this study was to specifically investigate if using TCI dexmedetomidine to maintain anaesthesia in laparotomy surgeries reduces the incidence of POCD compared to inhalation anaesthesia by sevoflurane.
This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of a hydrogen carbamide/peroxide gel, called UNISEPT® ORAL GEL, in promoting oral wound healing, alleviating postoperative symptoms, and enhancing oral hygiene. Study participants will include individuals with any suspicious lesion in their gums or the roof of their mouth. They will undergo a procedure to remove a small piece of tissue for testing (biopsy) in order to confirm the diagnosis.This is a standardized diagnostic procedure that involves the use of a punch, which is a plastic handpiece with a cylindrical cutting blade. Subsequently, the wound heals naturally without the need for sutures. Researchers are comparing this gel with a placebo (a look-and-taste-alike substance that contains no active ingredients) to see if it is helpful with healing of wounds in the mouth and associated symptoms, improving oral hygiene. Participants randomly get the hydrogen carbamide/peroxide gel or the placebo one to use for 14 days after the biopsy. The researchers will not know which one they are providing as the gel tubes will be identical. Oral wound healing, postoperative symptoms (such as pain, eating and speech difficulties), oral hygiene (dental plaque and gingival inflammation) and quality of life are assessed during a 14-day period after the biopsy. Participants are required to visit the clinic three times, one for the initial biopsy, one at 7 days and one at 14 days after the biopsy. They are asked to fill in some questionnaires, while certain procedures (taking a photo the site of the biopsy) and assessments (like evaluating the dental plaque and gingival inflammation) take place. During the first week they, also, keep a diary of their symptoms, as instructed.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a hydrogen carbamide/peroxide mouthwash, named UNISEPT® MOUTHWASH, regarding oral wound healing, postoperative symptoms, xerostomia (dry mouth) and oral hygiene improvement. Study participants have reported dry mouth and are scheduled for a diagnostic biopsy of minor labial salivary glands to investigate Sjögren's Syndrome, following consultation with their rheumatologist. This is a standardized diagnostic procedure that leads to healing by primary intention (i.e. wound edges are closely re-approximated with sutures). Researchers are comparing this mouthwash with a placebo (a look-and-taste-alike substance that contains no active ingredients) to see if it is helpful with healing of wounds in the mouth and associated symptoms, improving dry mouth and/or oral hygiene. Participants randomly get the hydrogen carbamide/peroxide mouthwash or the placebo one to use for 14 days after the biopsy. The investigators will not know which one they are providing as the bottles will be identical. Oral wound healing, postoperative symptoms (such as pain, eating and speech difficulties), oral hygiene (dental plaque and gingival inflammation), improvement of dry mouth and quality of life are assessed during a 14-day period after the biopsy. Participants are required to visit the clinic three times, one for the initial consultation and the biopsy, one at 7 days and one at 14 days after the biopsy. They are asked to fill in some questionnaires, while certain procedures (such as measuring saliva) and assessments (like evaluating the dental plaque and gingival inflammation) take place. During the first week they, also, keep a diary of their symptoms, as instructed.
The aim of this prospective randomized study was to compare the effectiveness of subcostal transversus abdominis plane block or rectus sheath block applied in addition to posterior transversus abdominis plane block for postoperative analgesia in major gynecological cancer surgeries. The main question(s) it aims to answer are: [Is subcostal transversus abdominis plane block more effective in postoperative analgesia? ] [Is there a difference in pain scores at 24 hours after surgery? ] Since pain scores within the first 24 hours after surgery will be evaluated, participants will be asked to give a value between 0 and 10 at certain time periods.
