Filter by:Both caudal and peripheral nerve blocks are widely used for postoperative analgesia in pediatric population .The safety of both techniques has been documented especially after the application of ultrasound guidance for their performance. Patients with cerebral palsy usually require lower limb orthopedic surgeries,that extend from minor soft tissue releases, like tenotomies, tendon lengthening or transfer, to major osteotomies for correction of their limb deformities. Study objective: to compare the efficacy of ultrasound guided caudal block with subgluteal sciatic nerve block for postoperative pain control in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy who will undergo soft tissue surgeries for knee and ankle deformities correction. Methods: This study patients will be randomly distributed to 2 Groups to receive either US guided caudal block or US subgluteal sciatic nerve block after induction of general anesthesia.
Summary: Pain control after hip surgery is quite important for patients' recovery. Many regional techniques are available with the focus on motor sparing block to speed patient recovery. The investigators will compare pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block in addition to local skin infiltration to PENG block alone. The study population will be included for patient traumatic hip surgery. The study population will be divided into group. First group will receive PENG block and local anaesthetics infiltration and second group will receive PENG block. Our primary outcome is to compare numeric rating scale (NRS) between studied groups, and morphine requirements in the first 24 hours as a secondary outcome.
In patients with pituitary adenoma scheduled for endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery, it was aimed to compare the efficacy of postoperative pain relief of a selective α-2 agonist "Dexmedetomidine" and the rapid and short-acting opioid "Remifentanil" using the "Numerical Rating Scale" (NRS) administered alongside propofol in perioperative maintenance anesthesia. .
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery is an intra-abdominal surgery that is frequently used in the treatment of gallbladder-related pathologies. Compared to open surgery, the cost, the risk of bleeding, the risk of surgical site infection are lower, the need for hospitalization is shorter, and the recovery is rapid. Adequate pain relief is very important after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Inadequate analgesia in post-operative period has been associated with pain-related cognitive dysfunction, atelectasis, thromboembolic events, increased surgery-related stress response, prolonged hospital stay, and chronic pain in patients. Acetaminophen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioid analgesics, intraperitoneal washing, local anesthesia infiltration and various regional anesthesia techniques can be used for appropriate analgesia. Studies have shown that subcostal transversus abdominis block has good analgesic efficacy in laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries. In the perioperative and postoperative period, afferent nerve signals in the surgical incision area stimulate the hypothalamus, causing the release of CRH, arginine vasopressin, and cortisol depending on the size of the surgical procedure. Providing patients with appropriate postoperative analgesia reduces the release of the stress hormones cortisol and prolactin. In this study, the investigators are aiming to compare the post-operative analgesic affects and stress hormone responses of subcostal transversus abdominis plane block and local anesthetic infiltration in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. The study is planned to be prospective, randomized and single-blind.
In this study the investigators will investigate the efficacy of ESPB as a part of Enhanced recovery after surgery on postoperative analgesia and recovery criteria after off pump cardiac surgery.
Procedure specific postoperative pain management (PROSPECT) guidelines for abdominal hysterectomy published in 2006 recommended laparoscopic or vaginal hysterectomy as a preferred surgical technique. Multimodal postoperative pain management plane includes cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibitors, and/or conventional non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID) in combination with strong opioids for high-intensity pain or with weak opioids for moderate- or low-intensity pain. Paracetamol also was recommended in combination with COX-2 inhibitors or conventional NSAIDs. Epidural analgesia was recommended for high-risk patients. PROSPECT guidelines updated in 2018 discuss only perioperative approach for laparoscopic hysterectomy. However, hysterectomy technique has been switched from total abdominal to laparoscopic approach. In low resources settings, laparoscopic technique is nor well developed neither available to many patients. Furthermore, the majority of patients undergo total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH), that is very painful procedure. Quadratus lumborum block (QLB) is a regional analgesic technique described by Blanco in 2007. Society for Obstetric Anesthesiology and Perinatology (SOAP) and European Society for Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Therapy (ESRA) recommended QLB for post-Cesarean pain management in cases where intrathecal morphine could not be used or for breakthrough pain. Previous reports have shown that QLB is effective in providing pain relief after various abdominal operations. The effects of QLB for laparoscopic hysterectomy is controversial. We would like to see if QLB can provide analgesic benefits in multimodal pain management after TAH in our clinical settings.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to examine the effect of ultrasound guided bilateral Parasternal Nerve Block combined with rectus sheath block on preoperative analgesia, opioid consumption and respiratory function in patients undergoing cardiac surgery via sternotomy. Half of participants will receive General Anesthesia combined with bilateral parasternal block and rectus sheath block while the other half receive General Anesthesia combined with bilateral parasternal block and infiltration of drainage exits sites with local anesthetic (without performing rectus sheath block)
Adequate pain management after minimally invasive cardiac surgery is essential for early ambulation and patient satisfaction. However, an incision similar to thoracotomy surgery is made by entering between the ribs, and a severely painful postoperative period is experienced as the intercostal nerves are cut. Invasive cardiac surgery is necessary surgery that can take steps to improve the quality of life and functional status of patients without sternotomy. However, patients may experience intense pain in the immediate postoperative period, which can lead to inactivity, increased risk of complications, and greater consumption of opioids, resulting in adverse effects and prolonged hospital stays. Pain management is challenging due to a large number of dermatomes covered. Interpectoral plane block + serratus anterior plane block, defined in 2012, has been used in many studies before as part of multimodal analgesia in minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Erector spinae block was also described in 2018 with positive results, which has been used in both sternotomies (open heart surgery) and minimally invasive procedures. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery can be excruciating in the postoperative period, just like thoracotomy surgeries. What is aimed in this study is to compare two previously known regional anesthesia techniques in this study.
Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block is commonly used to control pain in laparoscopic procedures. It is usually administered with ultrasound guide but it can be also administered with laparoscopic assistance under direct visualization. Aim of the present study is determining if the lap-assisted TAP is superior to the us-guided TAP Block in pain control in the immediate postoperative phase as well at 1 and 6 hours post surgery.
