Filter by:Caudal analgesia with ropivacaine is commonly used in sub-umbilical pediatric surgery. However, increasing the dosage of ropivacaine has not been found to prolong the action significantly while complications will be serious. Ketamine as an additive to caudal administration had been shown to prolong the duration of postoperative analgesia, while the analgesic effectiveness of S-ketamine, the S(+)-enantiomer of ketamine with less possibility to induce psychomotor disturbances, is not clear. In this prospective randomized double-blind clinical trial , the investigators aimed to study the effect of S-ketamine as additive on the duration of caudal analgesia.
This randomized controlled trial is designed to investigate the effect of low-dose of S-ketamine combined with sufentanil for postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia in patients following cesarean section.
The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of opioid-free anesthesia with S-ketamine on postoperative analgesia and perioperative hemodynamics in short surgical operations, and to explore the effects of S-ketamine on postoperative awakening time and extubation time, nausea and vomiting, hypoxemia, and delirium.
Despite opioid-based multimodal analgesia, moderate-to-severe pain remains a big problem in patients following multi-segment spinal fusion. As a N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, S-ketamine has prominent analgesic effects through activating receptors both in the brain and in the spinal cord, inhibiting the excitatory postsynaptic potential, and thus blunting nociception transmission. This randomized controlled trial is designed to investigate whether perioperative S-ketamine infusion can decrease pain intensity after major spine fusion surgery.
A multicenter, randomized, open-label, active controlled pragmatic clinical trial that evaluates the safety and efficacy of S (+) -ketamine for postoperative acute pain in children in perioperative settings.
Scoliosis correction surgery is followed with severe pain. Patients after scoliosis correction surgery usually require high dose opioids and long duration analgesia, which may increase side effects and even drug tolerance. S-ketamine is the pure dextrorotatory enantiomer of ketamine with stronger analgesic effect and less side effects, but mental side effects is a major concern. Dexmedetomidine can be used as an analgesic supplement; it also improves sleep quality in postoperative patients. We hypothesize that low-dose ketamine and dexmedetomidine in combination with opioids may have synergistic effect in analgesia and reduce drug-related side effects. This study aims to explore the effect of low-dose of S-ketamine and dexmedetomidine in combination with opioids for postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia in patients following scoliosis correction surgery.
