Filter by:A Multi-center, Randomized Controlled Trial of the Efficacy of Gabapentin vs. Placebo for Adjutant Pain Control Following Acute Rib Fractures.
This is a study of liposomal bupivacaine for pain control in patients with blunt chest wall trauma.
Patients diagnosed traumatic rib fracture and need admission will be included. Patients will be divided two groups.The experimental group will be given parecoxib after visiting emergency department. The control group will be given Narcotic agent such as morphine for pain control. The outcome such as numerical rating scale (NRS) and hospital length of stay will be recorded.
Optimize the management of polytraumatises with flail chest: surgical treatment Stracos by decreasing the length of stay and the late complications: pain chronicles, quality of life, respiratory function
An observational study to derive clinically relevant and predictive rib fracture classification systems, based on retrospective and prospective cohorts, incorporating assessment of PROMs (Patient Reported Outcome Measures) and healthcare utilisation
Rib fractures are common injuries in accident patients and can be associated with significant pain during recovery. If poorly controlled, pain from splinting due to rib fractures can result in difficulty in breathing leading to incomplete expansion of lung, and even the need to put a patient on a ventilator to help them breathe. Therefore, pain control is critical in managing patients with rib fractures. To date, many studies have shown the effectiveness of continuous intercostal nerve blockade (a slow release of pain medications at the site of injury that prevents the transmission of pain signals). This approach has never been studied in a randomized fashion in rib fracture patients, and has never been compared to patient-controlled narcotic pain medication, commonly used at many hospitals. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the placement of an elastomeric infusion pump (a small, external, wearable balloon used to deliver medication over time) attached to a continuous infusion catheter or "soaker" catheter (a tube which releases the pain medication through tiny holes in it, right at the site of injury) to deliver local anesthetic medication to reduce pain caused by two or more rib fractures.
This is a multicenter randomized study investigating the differences in clinical outcomes of patients between two standard of care pathways for rib trauma: patients who receive rib fixation versus patients who receive modern critical care and pain control after sustaining clinically significant rib fractures from trauma.
A retrospective analysis of all patient presenting with multiple rib fractures to the emergency room of Penn State Hershey Medical Center between 2010-2012. Patient demographics, cause of fracture, outcomes, chronic medical conditions, vital signs, length of stay, pain levels and treatment, and sequelae will be recorded and analyzed.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of ketamine infusions in the management of acute pain resulting from broken ribs suffered following a blunt trauma. Half of patients will receive the institutional standard of care and a placebo infusion (no active medication). The other half of patients will receive the institutional standard of care and a ketamine infusion. All subjects and staff will be blinded as to whether they are receiving placebo or ketamine.
This study is looking at a novel therapy of numbing medication injected directly around the fracture site. The purpose of this study is to determine if the study medication, EXPAREL®, is a viable alternative to current therapies for rib fractures.
