Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the role of 0.5 micrograms/kg of dexmedetomidine with 0.2 % ropivacaine in erector spinae block in reducing opioid consumption for patients undergoing lumbar spine surgeries. This study will help in understanding the role of adding dexmdetomidine to ropivacaine in erector spinae block in reducing opioid consumption after lumbar spine surgeries
Patients with chronic pain syndrome (CPS) may develop central sensitization wich may lead to increased pain intensity and lower pain threshold sometimes to the extend of hyperalgesia and allodynia. Furthermore, patients with daily use of opioids may develop opioid tolerance, and to a lesser extent opioid induced hyperalgesia. These factors may lead to a higher pain intensity in the perioperative setting resulting in the observed increased opioid dosage needed to treat the acute pain. Furthermore opioid titration may be difficult with higher levels of pain and a higher risk of opioid related adverse effects incl. respiratory depression and sedation. The factors above advocate for utilizing opioid sparing analgesic techniques. In our department as in many others we use an multimodal opioid sparing approach for surgical procedures including epidural anesthesia (EA) as a standard part of the perioperative analgesia strategy after upper laparotomy, as a sufficient epidural anesthesia has shown to provide a stable and often better pain relief than systemic opioids in these patients. Clinically, there is a suspicion that patients with CPS on fixed opioid treatment have a higher frequency of need for epidural optimization, despite the lack of an anatomical reason for this. One potential explanation could be an altered nociception, requesting another EA strategy than in non-opioid patients. Purpose and hypothesis This study will explore the frequency of failed EA, defined as EA with insufficient analgesic effect to the extent were replacements of the epidural is needed within the first 5 postoperative days (PODs), testing the hypothesis that failed epidural occurs more frequent in patients with CPS on fixed opioid treatment than in non-opioid patients without CPS.
evaluate and compare the impact of ultrasound guided rhomboid intercostal block versus serratus anterior plane block for analgesia after thoracodorsal artery perforator flap following partial mastectomy
Randomized clinical trial to evaluate the utility of CYP2D6 genotyping to improve the efficacy and safety of tramadol in the treatment of acute postoperative pain. Phase IV and low-intervention trial To evaluate if the implementation of pharmacogenetics in clinical practice can help to improve the treatment of acute pain, increasing efficacy and reducing adverse reactions. The main evaluation variable: This is a simple study, which does not differ from standard clinical practice and therefore we do not expect early ending of the study.
Post-craniotomy pain remains a major challenge in patient care following neurosurgery.Flurbiprofen axetil (FA), as an injectable nonselective cyclooxygenase inhibitor, is a widely prescribed NSAID for postoperative pain. As FA is highly lipophilic by merging into emulsified lipid microspheres, it has a high affinity to the surgical incision and inflammatory tissues to achieve targeted drug therapy and prolonged duration of action, thus providing a basis for its local use to achieve efficacy and safety comparable to or greater than systemic administration. In this study, we attempt to evaluate the clinical effects of FA as an adjunct to ropivacaine in pre-emptive scalp infiltration to prevent or reduce pain after craniotomy.
Primary aim: observe the incidence of systemic toxicity from local anesthetic (LAST) after performing fascial blocks in patients undergoing elective cardio-thoracic and abdominal surgery. Secondary aim: describe the pharmacokinetic profile of the local anesthetic (ropivacaine) and assess peri-procedural complications, post-operative pain and opiate consumption in the first 24 hours.
American Society of Anaesthesiologist physical status II-III, aged between 2, 12 patients which underwent open cardiac surgery will recruited to this study. These subjects will Ultrasound (USG) guided erector spinae block will perform at T6 level (bilaterally) and pectointercostal plane block at 4-5 intercostal space to the all patient under general anaesthesia. Totally bupivacaine %0.25 2.5 mg/kg will use blocks. 2 ml %0.25 bupivacain will apply to the chest tube area at the end of surgery. 0.1 microgram/kg morphine will apply intravenously at last 30 minutes of surgery postoperative analgesia to all patients. Postoperative pain and agitation assessment will perform with FLACC and Watcha scores
American Society of Anaesthesiologist physical status II-III, aged between 18-65, 60 patients which underwent open cardiac surgery will recruited to this study. These subjects will Ultrasound (USG) guided erector spinae block will perform at T6 level (bilaterally) and pectointercostal plane block at 4-5 intercostal space to the all patient under general anaesthesia. Totally bupivacaine %0.25 2.5 mg/kg will use blocks and 1 ml epinephrin will add to the each local anesthetic solutions. 10 ml %0.25 bupivacain will apply to the chest tube area at the end of surgery. 0.1 microgram/kg morphine will apply intravenously at last 30 minutes of surgery postoperative analgesia to all patients. Postoperative pain assessment will perform with visual analog scale (VAS)

Anxiety is a transient emotional state characterized by feelings of tension, apprehension, nervousness, fear, and heightened activation of the autonomic nervous system in response to a specific current or potential event or situation. Music therapy is a cost-effective and safe intervention applied to health care, that has been incorporated into different branches of medicine, including anesthesiology, showing economic benefits and as an adjunct to pharmacological therapy, allowing the use of lower doses of perioperative drugs, thus reducing their deleterious effects. The main objective of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate whether the application of music during the perioperative period reduces perioperative anxiety in patients undergoing general and digestive surgery under general anesthesia.Patients between 18 and 60 years of age, classified according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I-IV, scheduled for general surgery and who have signed the informed consent, will be randomized to receive music therapy in the immediate perioperative period or not. Perioperative anxiety, stay in the PACU, incidence of postoperative pain and intraoperative opioid consumption will be compared between both groups.
