Filter by:Pain after breast surgery can be quite severe and can significantly affect quality of life. By successfully treating acute pain, it is aimed to prevent the formation of pain memory and to ensure that chronic pain never occurs. It is known that by using regional techniques, the use of general anesthetics and opioids can be reduced and their harmful effects can be limited. In this study, it will be compared the analgesic effectiveness of superficial and deep serratus plane blocks in the postoperative acute and chronic periods.
Total knee arthroplasty is a common surgery in routine clinical practice that, although it achieves an improvement in the functionality and quality of life of patients, it causes intense postoperative pain. In this regard, locoregional block techniques are commonly used for the immediate postoperative period. However, these techniques have the disadvantage of being of limited duration and the appearance of so-called "rebound pain" when their effect wears off. To counteract this problem and maintain adequate analgesic control over a longer period of time, the use of a transdermal fentanyl patch seems to be a good option, with advantages over the traditional approach of placing a morphine PCA. Specifically, the aims of the study are: the evaluation of the decrease in the rate of rebound pain after locoregional techniques using a transdermal fentanyl patch after primary knee arthroplasty, as well as the evaluation of non-inferiority in terms of functional recovery, analgesic efficacy and adverse effects compared to morphine PCA. Methods: This will be a prospective observational cohort study, with a total N of 106 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty who meet the study inclusion criteria. The numerical pain rating scale score will be collected at 6,8,12,24 and 26h from which the "rebound pain score" will be calculated. The need for pharmacological rescue will be assessed as well as the appearance of adverse effects at 12, 24 and 36h and finally the QoR15 scale will be assessed at 36h.
Vaginal hysterectomy is the preferred route of choice for women desiring hysterectomy to treat uterine pathology, including premalignant conditions and fibroids. Compared with an abdominal or a laparoscopic approach, VH has been associated with a shorter recovery time and faster return to daily activities. However, management of postoperative pain still remains challenging for patients undergoing VH. Duloxetine is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor commonly prescribed for the treatment of major depression and anxiety. Duloxetine also has been used in the treatment of chronic pain conditions, such as osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal pain In contrast, studies examining its use to ameliorate acute postoperative pain are limited to a single trial.12 More importantly, it remains to be determined whether perioperative duloxetine can improve the global quality of recovery after surgery. The study included the hypothesis that perioperative duloxetine would ease postoperative recovery in patients undergoing VH, and the Quality of Recovery-15 questionnaire (QoR-15) was to be used for evaluation
Since many intravenous anesthetic agents administered to the mother can cross the placental barrier and cause fetal side effects, multimodal analgesia strategies with peripheral nerve blocks are preffered with greater safety in elective Cesarean section surgeries. The primary objective of this study is to compare postoperative opioid consumption and pain scores (NRS) in elective cesarean section patients who receive a transversalis fascia plane block versus those who receive surgical site local anesthetic infiltration in addition to spinal anesthesia.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of adding dexamethasone to bupivacaine 0.25% in ultrasound-guided SCPB on surgical field visibility during tympanomastoid surgery.
Open Gastrectomy surgery is a big surgery with upper umbilical median incision where the postoperative pain is occur frequently. pain managements of this surgery with intravenous opioid analgesics are currently standard approach. but its side effects as sedation, decreased bowel movement and respiratory depression are limiting its use. so local anesthesia done with regional block methods provides good analgesia after surgery that decrease use of opioid analgesics. in this study we intend to compare subcostal TAP block with external oblique intercostal block
Supratentorial craniotomy is one of the most common neurosurgical procedures, with severe perioperative pain. Inadequate perioperative pain relief has been associated with increased blood pressure and intracranial pressure, favoring bleeding and cerebral cerebral hypoperfusion. The ideal analgesia for neurosurgery requires complete pain relief, eliminates the side effects of opioid drugs and no influence for neurological function. Previous studies have proposed a multimodal analgesic strategy, combining analgesics and local anaesthesia, it is expected to achieve the above benefits.
Participants aged 4-10 years (92 patients), who came to the Hospital Operating Room at the University Faculty of Dentistry with an indication for dental treatment under general anesthesia due to lack of cooperation, will be selected by simple randomization and divided into 2 groups. One group of participants who will undergo routine general anesthesia and dental treatment procedures will receive routine monitoring (Group I), and the other group will receive EEG monitoring (Group II) in addition to routine monitoring. Electrocardiography (ECG), oxygen saturation (SpO2), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), endtidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2), endtidal sevoflurane (EtSev) parameters observed as routine monitoring of the patients will be recorded and the minimal alveolar concentration (MAC) value will be kept at 0.9. Anesthesia management will be performed, and in Group II, in addition to routine monitoring, anesthesia management will be carried out to keep the SEF values observed in the EEG between 10-15 and PSI values between 25-50. Routine general anesthesia procedures and dental treatments will not differ between groups. Age, gender, weight, intubation type, ASA, previous surgical experience, anesthesia duration, number of extracted teeth with decayed fillings (dmft) values will also be recorded. In the intraoperative period; hemodynamic parameters (average heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation values) and amounts of medication consumed (most tidal sevoflurane percentages in induction and maintenance, presence of burst suppression, sevoflurane/fentanyl/rocuronium consumption). The participants, whose operation is completed, will be taken to the recovery room and any post-operative discomfort will be noted. The cases will be recorded in the report form. In the postoperative period; Extubation time, agitation (PAED scores) and pain (FLACC, VAS-ORF) scores will be recorded during extubation and 10, 20, 30 minutes and 2 hours after extubation, and recovery time, hospital stay, presence of nausea and vomiting will also be recorded. Modified Aldrete Recovery Score (MAS) will be used for recovery criteria and MAS >8 will be considered as a recovery indicator. The Pediatric Anesthesia Early Delirium Scale (PAED) will be used to evaluate early agitation. FLACC and VAS-ORF scale will be used as pain scales.
Multimodal analgesia (MMA) is an essential part of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol. The principle of MMA is to manage pain with analgesics of multiple classes acting on distinct target sites through different strategies. MMA can reduce the adverse reaction caused by opioids and improve the quality of recovery from surgery. Inadequate postoperative pain management will increase the risk of complications, including pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis, infection, delayed surgical healing, and chronic postoperative pain.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the analgesic effect of melatonin, and vitamin C and their combination in patients aged 18-60 years old who will undergo major abdominal surgery with mid-line incision within an expected time of surgery from 3 to 5 hours e.g. radical cystectomy, radical prostatectomy, colectomy, sigmoidectomy, splenectomy, and CBD exploration through mid-line incision. This study hypothesizes that using both vitamin C and melatonin together as adjuvants will cause: - More reduction in total morphine consumption in the first 24 hours postoperatively - More reduction of the incidence of chronic post-surgical pain, than using each adjuvant alone. Participants will be allocated into three equal groups: Melatonin (M group) and vitamin C (V group), and Melatonin and vitamin C (VM group). Two hours before surgery all patients will receive the study drugs orally and will be continued for 3 days postoperative at the same time of the first administration; 10mg of melatonin for M group (Melatonin 10 mg - Puritan's Pride premium company), 1gm of vitamin C for V group (Sanso C 1000 mg - AUG pharma company), and 10mg of melatonin and 1gm of vitamin C for VM group. Researchers will compare: - The effect of melatonin, vitamin C, and their combination on postoperative opioid consumption - The severity of postoperative pain, using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) - Patients' satisfaction with a three-point scale - The time of the first requirement for rescue analgesia - The effect on the incidence of chronic post-surgical pain.
