Filter by:Patients presented with acute pain from renal colic, the standard of care are prescribed NSAIDs, most common drug used is intramuscular (IM) Diclofenac injected at the gluteal muscle. Due to adverse effects in some patients, the nursing council has banned the injection by nurses. Since then, there has been a change in treatment by using intravascular (IV) Tramadol. According to various research, Diclofenac has a higher efficacy in controlling pain compared to other medications. In clinical practice, Tramadol has less efficacy of decreasing pain and a longer onset of action. At presence, there has been no research performed comparing the efficacy between these two drugs especially from the viewpoint of time dimension.
Renal colic is a frequent reason for recourse representing 1 to 2% of emergency room admissions. This study would validate the performance of the CLAD score in predicting the need for surgical management within 7 days of patients admitted to the emergency department for renal colic pain.
Rate of Intravenous Magnesium Sulfate Vs Lidocaine to treat Renal Colic in the Emergency Department.
Emergency imaging is necessary for the diagnostic management of renal colic in the emergency department. Ultrasound is rapidly available and non-irradiating, allowing to look for a stone and a pyelocalic dilatation. But it is less sensitive when the stone is ureteral. CT has a sensitivity of 96% and a specificity of 100%. The latest French recommendations date from 2008, recommending ultrasound and an unprepared abdomen in cases of uncomplicated renal colic. For the European Society of Radiology, ultrasound should be the first-line examination. The place of a systematic CT scan as first-line examination for the diagnosis of renal colic in the emergency department is therefore still under discussion. An evaluation of practice will make it possible to assess the imaging strategy applied in an emergency department.
Introduction: Pain is a common reason for individuals to seek health care, especially emergency care. Ketorolac has numerous advantages over other pain medications, especially the opioids. The intranasal administration of ketorolac has been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of postoperative pain following major abdominal surgery and post dental surgery, but there have been no studies evaluating the use of intranasal ketorolac for the treatment of acute renal colic pain in the emergency department. Methods: This is a double blinded randomized controlled trial. two hundred renal colic patients presented to the emergency department will be randomized to intervention (30 mg intranasal ketorolac) and (30mg intravenous ketorolac) case groups. Their pain before and after receiving ketorolac will be measured by visual Analog Scale (VAS pain score). Patient, attending physician and administering nurse will be blinded throughout the study. The analgesic effects will be assessed by several measures including pain relief, pain intensity difference, global pain evaluation, global assessment of analgesia, and the summed pain intensity difference. The safety will be assessed by documentation of adverse events, vital signs, and clinical assessment before and after drug administration. Aim: The aim of this study is to compare analgesic effects of intranasal Ketorolac tromethamine versus intravenous Ketorolac tromethamine in adult patients with moderate to severe renal colic. Primary Objective: Analgesic effects of Intranasal Ketorolac on the visual analog scale (VAS). Secondary Objectives: Adverse Events, the need of rescue pain medications, time to discharge and recurrent visit within 24 hours. Patient Population: Adults (from age 18 to 64 years) who presents to emergency department (ED) at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital with moderate to severe acute flank pain suggestive of renal colic (visual analog scale 7 or more). Intervention: Single dose of intranasal ketorolac 30mg. Clinical measurement: Visual Analog Scale will be assessed at 0, 30 and 60 minutes after intervention. Number and dosage of rescue medication, any reported events by patient or attending physician will be documented. Outcome: Decrease in pain measures by VAS pain score after intranasal ketorolac is given, tolerability and safety evaluation.
Plane blocks have become very popular in recent years with the introduction of ultrasonography into the regional anesthesia and algology practice. Erector spinae plane (ESP) block involves the injection of local anesthetics between erector spinae muscles and transverse process of vertebrae and can block the dorsal and ventral rami of thoracolumbar spinal nerves. The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of the erector spine plane block for reno-ureteral colic.
Opioid analgesics are among the most commonly prescribed class of medications in the US. While opioids may effectively control pain and other sensory disorders under acute conditions, the rates of misuse/abuse and accidental overdose have reached epidemic proportions. Clinicians are being challenged to find alternatives to opioid analgesics, or to reduce their use in treating pain whenever possible. Pre-clinical studies have shown that combining morphine (opioid drug) with pramipexole (dopamine 3 receptor agonist with some D2/D4 action) provides superior analgesia against painful stimuli than morphine alone. This analgesia is maintained even when the dose of morphine is lowered to a dose that is not effective on its own. A recent case report describes the use of this combination to restore pain control in a patient with restless legs syndrome, for which opioids alone have lost their effectiveness (Happe S, Clemens S and Brewer KL, In Review). This application proposes to establish a new therapeutic approach for treatment of a pain associated with renal colic (a common painful condition) using a novel combination of 2 existing, FDA-approved drugs. The immediate goal is to demonstrate that this drug combination can provide similar analgesia to opioid alone, and that analgesia is maintained when the opioid dose is reduced by 50%.
This is an interventional multi-centre study comparing two groups of general practitioners with or without an ultrasound scanner over a period of 6 months. The evaluation focuses on the management of patients for 8 pathologies: - Pneumonia - Pleural effusion - Renal colic - Hepatic colic or cholecystitis - Subcutaneous abscess or cyst - Fracture of long bones - Intra-uterine pregnancy or extra-uterine pregnancy or miscarriage - Phlebitis The principal hypothesis is that there are fewer complementary exams in the group of doctors using ultrasound scanners. The secondary hypotheses are: - There is better patient orientation (emergency care, specialist consultation, return home) in the group of doctors using the ultrasound scanners. - The global cost of the care is lower in the group of doctors using the ultrasound. - Using ultrasound during the consultation decreases the anxiety of the patient. - Using ultrasound increases the duration of the consultation. - There is no difference between the predicted and the real orientation of the patients.
This randomized, placebo-controlled trial evaluated the analgesic efficacy and safety of intravenous morphine-paracetamol combination and morphine-dexketoprofen combination morphine for the optimum treatment of renal colic. Combination of IV morphine and paracetamol is as effective and rapid as combination of IV Morphine and IV dexketoprophen for optimum treating of renal colic.
Patients with acute renal colic divided into 2 groups. Group L administered ornoxicam and Group P administered pethidine and VAS was recorded for both groups.
