Filter by:Postoperative acute and chronic pain is frequently observed in patients undergoing video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). This prolongs the discharge time of patients and increases the frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications. Recently, alternative analgesic methods such as thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB), erector spinae plane block (ESPB), and serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) which are thought to have less side effects than thoracic epidural analgesia, have been used. Among these methods, ultrasound (US) guided TPVB is the most preferred method. In addition, ESPB and SAPB application is increasing in patients undergoing VATS. In the literature, the number of cases performed with ESPB and SAPB and randomized controlled prospective studies with ESPB and SAPB are increasing. In this study, it is planned to compare the effects of US-guided SAPB and ESPB on postoperative acute and chronic pain in patients undergoing VATS.
This is a randomized double blinded placebo-controlled study, conducted in Lund, Sweden. Patients will be randomized in two groups, with a ratio of 1:1. The experimental arm will receive intravenous Lidocaine perioperatively, and the Control arm will receive placebo, i.e. normal Saline. Postoperative both arms will get routine pain Control with PCA, Patient Controlled Analgesia with an intravenous Oxycodone-infusion. Outcome-measures will include patients pain intensity scoring, and opioid consumption.
Thoracotomy and video-assisted thoracic surgery procedures are frequently performed in thoracic surgery. It is widely accepted that thoracotomy causes severe acute pain. This prolongs the discharge time of the patients, and increases the frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications and postoperative morbidity. Postoperative acute pain may cause chronic thoracotomy pain in the later period, and may adversely affect the quality of life of the patients. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has become the standard procedure in minor and major lung surgeries. Postoperative pain is seen in patients undergoing VATS, although it is not as severe as after thoracotomy. As in thoracotomy, this affects the postoperative pulmonary complications and the discharge time of the patients. Likewise, this pain can cause chronic pain. In this study, it was aimed to analyze the symptoms of chronic pain in the 3rd and 6th months postoperatively in patients who had undergone thoracic surgery.
Purpose: To compare esketamine and ketorolac separately and in combination to prevent postoperative pain and cognitive dysfunction after total knee arthroplasty
Cesarean section is one of the most common major surgical procedures performed worldwide,, Post-cesarean analgesia should provide adequate pain control while allowing the mother to remain active to meet the needs of the baby. Insufficient analgesia after cesarean section may be associated with acute postoperative pain, chronic pain, higher opioid consumption, delayed functional capacity, and postpartum depression. Techniques such as neuraxial techniques, oral and intravenous agents, wound infiltration, and behavioral therapy can be used in the treatment of post-cesarean pain pain. In addition, Transversus abdominis plane block (TAP), Quadratus Lumborum block (QLB), Erector Spina block (ESP), Transversalis Fascia plane block (TFP) are used safely under ultrasound guidance. In this study, it was aimed primarily to examine the effects of TFP and ESP blocks on pain scores, and secondarily to evaluate analgesic consumption.
Background Brachial plexus block is a good choice for surgeries of the upper limb because it provides good quality of anesthesia and analgesia especially in patients with multiple comorbidities and in ambulatory surgery. Hyalaluronidase is a local anesthetic adjuvant used for ophthalmologic surgery. We evaluated the effect of adding hyaluronidase to bupivacaine as regard the onset and duration of motor and sensory block in ultrasound guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block. Methodology prospective, randomized and double-blind study conducted at Sohag University Hospital. A total of 40 adults scheduled for upper limb surgery, ASA I or II were randomly assigned into two groups (n=20). Group I received bupivacaine 0.375 % 15 mL + normal saline 4ml +hyaluronidase 800 IUin 1 ml. Group II received bupivacaine 0.375% 15 mL + normal saline5 ml. Both groups will be compared for onset and duration of sensory and motor block, duration of analgesia and complications. Results The onset of sensory and motor block was significantly faster in hyaluronidase group than control group. Significant difference could not be detected in either duration of the sensory or motor block between the two groups. Conclusion The use of hyaluronidase as an additive to bupivacaine fastens the onset of sensory and motor block of the brachial plexus in supraclavicular approach without affecting the duration of the block.
Patient due for elective, ambulatory gynaecological laparoscopy will be screened peri-operatively for known and potential risk factors of postoperative pain and nausea/vomiting. The actual incidence and severity of pain and nausea/vomiting will be recorded during th 0-24 hr intervall after end of surgery, as well as the doses of all drugs, given for either prophylaxis or treatment
This study is designed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of pre-emptive ultrasound-guided midpoint transverse process to pleura (MTP) block for posterolateral thoracotomy in cardiothoracic surgeries.
Postoperative delirium is one of the most frequent adverse events following elective non-cardiac surgery and is associated with cognitive impairment at discharge, as well as in-hospital and long-term mortality, however, despite being a well-recognized problem there is a dearth of effective interventions for prevention and management. A modifiable risk factor associated with postoperative delirium is poor postoperative pain control, and by improving the pain regimen the investigators may be able to decrease the incidence and/or severity of postoperative delirium. In this study, the investigators seek to study whether a postoperative intravenous infusion of lidocaine, known to improve pain control in other contexts, can decrease the risk of postoperative delirium and other opioid-related side effects, following major reconstructive spinal surgery.
Caesarean section is one of the most frequent surgeries causing severe postoperative pain. Poor management of acute pain can contribute to postoperative complications, late recovery and the development of chronic pain. Moreover, it had been demonstrated that the intensity of postpartum pain is associated with depression. It is imperative to find out appropriate methods of postpartum pain alleviation. Currently, a lot of analgesic drugs and methods have been developed and used in clinical practice, such as patient-controlled analgesia, extended-release analgesics and multimodal analgesia. This prospective cohort study is aimed to investigate the outcome of each postoperative analgesic method used in caesarean section.
