Filter by:Comparing the duration of pain relief from caudal analgesia when adjuncts like dexamethasone, clonidine, or saline (salt water) are added to ropivacaine.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the postoperative pain after general anesthesia of orbital diseases and ocular tumor patients.
In this study the investigators want to asses the effect of peritonisation at c-section on postoperative vital signs which was thought to be an indirect finding secondary to increased sympathetic activity originated from pain caused by stretched peritoneum.
This is a prospective randomised controlled trial that will compare the outcomes of rectus sheath catheters to epidurals in patients who have undergone a cystectomy, via a lower midline abdominal incision for bladder cancer.
There are evidences that intraoperative administration of low doses of ketamine may contribute to control the postoperative pain by acting on the NMDA channel, reducing the effects related to the tolerance and hyperalgesia induced by opioids. This study aims to evaluate the effects of administration of this agent not only as an analgesic but also its role in the quality of recovery from anesthesia, which includes observation of emotional, psychological and physical aspects. Patients who were scheduled to undergo total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) for laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be enrolled in this clinical study. After induction of anesthesia, patients will receive one of three solutions according to the randomly selected group: ketamine 0,2 mg/kg; ketamine 0,4 mg/kg or saline. In the recovery room and on the ward, data related to the presence of pain, analgesic consumption, the incidence of nausea and vomiting, dizziness or hallucinations will be recorded. The next day, the quality of recovery will be evaluated by apllication of the questionnaire QoR40.
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subtenon block (SB)anesthesia with dexmedetomidine in combination with bupivacaine versus intravenous dexmedetomidine for postoperative analgesia and emesis control in infants undergoing cataract surgery.
This study aims to evaluate the psychometric validity of FASS (Facial Summary Score Scale) to assess postoperative children pain.
This study aims to test the effects of a Preoperative Relaxation intervention and an Intensified Surgery Patient Education on pre- and postoperative wellbeing and health in Patients Undergoing Herniotomy.
Postoperative pain is severe after major spine surgery. Opioids such as morphine and hydromorphone are routinely used for postoperative pain control. These drugs have significant side effects, most importantly respiratory depression, nausea, constipation and tolerance. Moreover, many spine surgery patients have used opioid pain medication for back pain long term, leading to pre-surgical opioid tolerance and increased postoperative pain. This has led to a search for adjuvant medications to reduce the use of opioids and reduce opioid mediated side effects and tolerance. Ketamine is an intravenous anesthetic with analgesic properties in subanesthetic doses. Ketamine is a noncompetitive antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. NMDA receptors are involved in central pain sensitization via wind-up phenomenon and altered pain memory, a process which can be blocked by ketamine. NMDA receptor antagonists may prevent the development of tolerance to opioids and hyperalgesia. Ketamine has been safely used to decrease pain in numerous studies. Ketamine can also act as an antidepressant with hours of administration. Ketamine has rapid brain uptake and subsequent re-distribution with a distribution half-life of 10-15 minutes and an elimination half-life of 2 hours. Ketamine does not cause respiratory depression.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of perineural fentanyl combined with local anesthetics in the post operative pain control with continuous femoral nerve block after total knee arthroplasty.
