Filter by:The use of low-pressure pneumoperitoneum seems to be able to reduce complications such as postoperative pain. However, the quality of evidence for most studies evaluating this relationship is considered low. The absence of concealment of pneumoperitoneum pressure and the lack of description of neuromuscular blockade characteristics are the main causes of bias. The purpose of this study will be to evaluate by means of a prospective, randomized and double-blinded trial, the quality of recovery (QoR-15) questionnaire of patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under moderate neuromuscular blockade, using low pneumoperitoneum pressure or "standard" pressure. Eighty patients submitted to laparoscopic cholecystectomy and randomly distributed in two groups will be included: low pneumoperitoneum pressure (10 mmHg) or "standard" pressure (14 mmHg). The value of abdominal pressure will be kept hidden for all participants, except for the nurse responsible for the operating room. Moderate neuromuscular blockade will be maintained according to Train-of-four count (TOFc) = 3 for all cases.
To investigate the effect of liposomal bupivacaine compared with bupivacaine hydrochloride for intercostal blockades for patients undergoing Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
Aim of this study is to examine the effects of subcutaneously applied local anesthetics at trocar site in combination with intraoperative intraperitoneal analgesia on duration and character of pain in pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic varicocelectomy.
After endodontic procedures, depending on the individual and many variables, postoperative pain can be occur within hours and continue for days following the treatment. It is thought that acute inflammation that develops due to chemical, mechanical or microbial injuries in the periapical tissue after endodontic treatment causes postoperative pain. Materials used for root canal obturation can reach periodontal tissues through the apical foramen, lateral canals or leakage and may affect the healing process in the periodontium. For this reason, knowing the properties of root canal obturation materials is important in terms of preventing postoperative pain. Calcium silicate-based root canal sealer are recommended to be used as they enhance healing after endodontic treatment by promoting differentiation of odontoblasts and the release of bioactive compounds. At the same time, it has been reported that it has less cytotoxic effect compared to the resin-based AH Plus, which is widely used for root canal). Silicone-based root canal sealers have good biological properties on human ligament periodontal fibroblasts. It has been reported that GuttaFlow Bioseal root canal sealer, which has been used in recent years, has less cytotoxic effect than GuttaFlow2, MTA Fillapex and AH Plus sealers. Ateş et al.(2019) evaluated that the effects of different root canal sealers on postoperative pain and reported that the use of iRoot SP or AH Plus did not significantly affect pain levels, but iRoot SP sealer required less analgesic intake than AH Plus sealer. Aslan et al. (2020) concluded in their study that calcium silicate and resin-based root canal sealers are similar in terms of postoperative pain and need for analgesic intake. Ferreira et al.(2020) compared the effects of AH Plus, Endofill and MTA Fillapex root canal sealers on postoperative pain and stated that all three root canal sealers cause similar pain levels. When reviewing the studies on postoperative pain, it is seen that mostly resin and calcium silicate based root canal sealers are evaluated. Studies on calcium silicate and silicone-based root canal sealers seem to focus more on cytotoxicity. However, no study has been found in the literature on the effect of GuttaFlow Bioseal sealer on postoperative pain, which has been popularity in recent years and has low cytotoxicity. Acoording to this information, it is planned to conduct the research described below, on the effect of calcium silicate-based (iRoot SP), silicone-based (GuttaFlow Bioseal) and rezin-based (AH Plus) sealer on postoperative pain.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) on postoperative pain after endodontic treatment in mandibular molar teeth diagnosed with symptomatic apical periodontitis.
Shoulder arthroplasty is associated with significant postoperative pain. Appropriate pain control after shoulder arthroplasty is crucial for postoperative rehabilitation and patient satisfaction. Superior trunk block is a commonly employed regional anesthetic technique for shouler arthroplasty, and a continuous catheter is often placed to extend the analgesic benefit of the block. However, continuous peripheral nervel block (PNB) is more costly and time-consuming than sigle-shot PNB. Recent evidence suggests that intravenous (IV) dexmedetomidine (DEX) prolong the analgesic duration after sigle-shot PNB. The investigators will compare continuous superior trunk block with single-shot superior trunk block with IV DEX in patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty.
This a single-center prospective spread-evaluation study where the primary objective is to assess the spread of local anesthesia in an ESPB using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The investigators will include 10 healthy volunteers from the hospitals internal website. All volunteers will receive a one-sided Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block. 30 min after the block sensitivity to cold and pinprick will be assessed before an MRI is performed after 60 min postblock. An radiology specialist will evaluate the MR images pertaining to the spread of the local anesthesia.
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.
This prospective, randomized, assessor-blinded study is designed to evaluate the postoperative analgesic efficacy of the ultrasound-guided continuous erector spinae plane (ESP) block in patients undergoing thoracotomy. We hypothesize that US-guided ESP block is not inferior to thoracic epidural analgesia in terms of postoperative pain control in these patients.
