Filter by:This is a retrospective study looking at patients who received a nerve block for surgery and assessing pain after the nerve block resolves, with or without an educational intervention, over two periods of time.
Sleep disorders can impair cognitive function, decision-making ability, exercise capacity, and immune system.Sleep disorders, which may occur in the perioperative period as short-term or long-term, affect many patients. Patients have to face with perioperative sleep disorders, and this situation can continue for a long time after surgery. Anesthetic agents may cause sleep disturbances in the postoperative period. Anesthetics can disrupt the normal sleep-wake cycle and thus cause sleep insufficiency and poor sleep quality. The relationship between general anesthesia and postoperative sleep disorders is still unclear. It is advantageous to identify patients with pre-existing sleep disorders, since the risk of postoperative sleep disturbance is high. The investigators hypothesis that regional anesthesia does not disrupt the circadian rhythm compared to general anesthesia, is more successful in pain control, and thus provides a better sleep quality for patients.
Regional anesthesia decreases postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption, and may prevent chronic pain after surgery in patients undergoing surgery. However, some patients experience an increase of pain into the severe range when the nerve block wears off, also known as rebound pain. The investigators are studying if a nerve block (numbing injection) in the arm causes hyperalgesia (increased pain) when the nerve block is wearing off.
Jugular vein collapsibility index and shock indices (Shock index, Modified Shock Index, Diastolic Shock Index) may be useful in estimating post spinal hypotension in cesarean section operations. Evaluation on the accuracy and effectiveness of these indices can contribute to the early diagnosis and management of hypotension. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of shock indices in predicting the possibility of post spinal hypotension in cesarean section operations.
Background: Optimal pain control with limited muscle weakness is paramount for a swift initiation of physical therapy and ambulation. Fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) has been recommended since it offers the best pain control with low risk of motor block. Pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) block has been proposed as an effective alternative to FICB that offers similar pain control with a considerably lower risk of motor block. This study aimed to compare the afore mentioned blocks and determine which one yielded the lowest NRS score.
Pediatric orthopedic surgical procedures require a multimodal approach for anesthetic management that maximizes both patient comfort and safety. (1) A multimodal strategy for perioperative pain management is often required for children undergoing orthopedic surgery including pharmacological methods, and regional anesthesia (R.A). (1,2) Recent guidelines published jointly by the European Society of Regional Anesthesia (ESRA) and the American Society of Regional Anesthesia (ASRA) recommend that regional blocks can and should preferably be performed under general anesthesia or deep sedation in children of all ages. (3,4) Many studies investigated the safety of regional pediatric nerve blocks These studies showed pediatric complication rates consistent with adult data. These complications include nerve injury, intravascular injection and local anesthetics systemic toxicity (LAST), and acute compartmental syndrome. these complications have been minimized by ultrasound-guided nerve block in pediatrics. (5) The annual incidence of pediatric femoral fractures is estimated to be 19 per 100,000. Femoral fractures are usually associated with other injuries such as intracranial hemorrhages, lung contusions, hemothorax or pneumothorax, and other organ injuries which make regional anesthesia (R.A) is preferable as a sole technique or combined with general anesthesia to decrease the overall dosage of anesthetics and opioids. (6) The most tangible advantage of RA is profound and prolonged pain relief. Alternatively, pain relief can be given by opioids which are known to cause nausea, vomiting, respiratory depression, decrease in gut motility and increase apneic spells in the population vulnerable to the same. Nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs can affect the immature renal system adversely. RA offers pain relief without changing the physiological milieu. (7) Fascia iliaca Compartment Block (FICB) has been widely used for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing hip, femoral bone, and knee surgical procedures. FICB was first introduced by Dalens et al in 1989. This regional plane block technique was used to block the femoral nerve and the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of the thigh and the obturator nerve with a high level of safety and success, well-suited for the anterolateral surgeries of the thigh. (8,9) Femoral nerve block (FNB) has been widely used for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing hip, and femoral bone surgical procedures, it provides anesthesia and analgesia for the lateral aspect of the thigh and the femur bone. (10,11) FICB has a wider range of anesthesia and analgesia in lower limbs compared to FNB. but the use of dilute injectate in FICB may minimize sensory and motor block than FNB. (1,16) This study will be conducted to evaluate the effects of FICB vs FNB in pain control in pediatrics undergoing femoral fracture repair surgery.
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of spinal needle type on postdural puncture headache in patients who will undergo cesarean section. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: [Does spinal needle thickness affect postdural puncture headache?] [What is the response of patients who develop postdural puncture headache to treatment?] In cases accepting cesarean section operation under spinal anesthesia, different tables were used with spinal needles, and it will be questioned whether headache will develop in the first 15 days postoperatively. Postdural puncture headache after surgery will be described.
The goal of this observational study is to assess the effect of regional versus general anesthesia on carotid endarterectomy thirty-day outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is regional anesthesia associated with lower incidence of major morbidity and mortality? - Is regional anesthesia associated with lower incidences of secondary adverse events? Participants will be sampled from the 2015-2019 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, one of the most commonly performed abdominal surgeries, is a gold standard therapy for surgical treatment of benign biliary diseases. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) was first presented in 2016 as the treatment of neuropathic pain in a case series, and gained popularity very quickly due to its safety applicability, and effect on both the visceral and parietal component of pain by providing paravertebral, transforaminal and epidural spread. Preoperative application of ESPB has taken its place as a part of multimodal analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy cases over time and has been shown to reduce postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption and to improve quality of recovery scores. However, there is no data regarding the use of ESPB in the postoperative period as a rescue therapy.
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.
