Filter by:the aim of this study was to investigate compare the effect of peroperative intravenous single dose dexamethasone and the addition of dexamethasone to femoral nerve block on postoperative analgesic consumption and patient comfort in unilateral total knee arthroplasty patients
Postoperative pain after Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VAT) is still debating. Therefore the investigators conduct a study comparing 0.15 mg spinal morphine and control group in term of analgesia.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of the hydrolocalization technique for placement of femoral perineural catheters in comparison with stimulating catheters. A non inferiority trial.
Pain following laparoscopic surgery continues to be a clinically important problem with 80% or more patients requiring opioid analgesia post-operatively to control their pain. By reducing this surgical complication patients can experience less discomfort and be discharged from the recovery room more rapidly leading to reduced resource utilization and expense. HYPOTHESIS: Post-operative pain after laparoscopic procedures could be treated by topical anesthetics sprayed directly into the abdomen (inside the abdominal cavity, on the nerve endings of the visceral peritoneal lining and diaphragm surface) via the surgical incision METHODS: Randomized controlled trial on use of topical anesthetic (namely 0.25% ropivacaine) delivered directly onto the target sites both at the beginning and the end of surgery in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic procedure for uterine or adnexal benign pathology. The drug will be delivered using a CE approved delivery system that will direct a fine mist of drug directly to the areas of the peritoneal cavity that are theoretically the cause of post-op pain (diaphragms, peritoneal abdominal surface, surgical dissection site). GOAL: to assess the efficacy of intraperitoneal topical anesthesia in reducing postoperative pain, opioid requirements in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic procedure for uterine or adnexal benign pathology
This prospective randomized study aims to comparison the effectiveness of intravenous lidocaine injection and intraperitoneam lidocaine irrigation on the relief of pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A total of 83 patients will be randomized into one of three groups (group C or group I or group P) based on Excel number generation. Patients in group C will receive normal saline intravenous injection, and patients in group I will receive an intravenous bolus injection of 1.5 mg/kg lidocaine followed by a continuous lidocaine infusion of 2 mg/kg/hr. Patients in group P will receive intraperitoneal lidocaine irrigation with 3.5 mg/kg lidocaine and normal saline 100cc. Visual analogue scale pain scores, fentanyl consumption and the frequency at which patients pushed the button (FPB) of a patient-controlled analgesia system will be recorded at 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 hours postoperatively.
This prospective randomized study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous lidocaine injection on the relief of pain in patients undergoing thyroidectomy. A total 56 patients will be randomized into one of two groups(group C or group I) based on Excel number generation. Patients in group C will receive normal saline intravenous injection, and patients in group I will receive an intravenous bolus injection of 1.5mg/kg lidocaine followed by a continuous lidocaine infusion of 2mg/kg/hr. Visual analogue scale pain scores, fentanyl consumption, the frequency at which patients pushed the button(FPB) of a patient-controlled analgesia system, and presence or absence of nausea and vomiting will be recorded at 2,4,8,12,24,48 hours postoperatively.
Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has gained popularity for the control of postoperative pain in various surgeries. Three studies showed inconsistent result on pain control after TAP block in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The TAP technique used in these studies was classic ultrasound guided TAP block. Besides periumbilical incision, sub-xiphoid incision is usually made during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. As typical posterior TAP rarely extend above T8, the investigators undergo subcostal TAP block for this type of surgery. The investigators are going to investigate the effect of subcostal TAP on early postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
intraperitoneal nebulisation with magnesuim sulphate will reduce post operative pain and analgesic consumption in postoperative period following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The investigators are testing to see if infusion of bupivicaine between the mesh and abdominal wall can reduce postoperative pain and decrease use of narcotics in the postoperative setting.
The investigators hypothesized that application of a 5% lidocaine patch would be associated with reduced pain scores after operation compared with placebo patch in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
