Filter by:The study aimed to compare ultrasound guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block versus interscalene brachial plexus block for postoperative analgesia following shoulder arthroscopy.
The aim of this study is to compare PENG and ISB after shoulder arthroscopy for postoperative pain management after shoulder arthroscopy.
The aim of our study is to reveal a comparison between interscalene brachial plexus block and shoulder anterior capsular block with respect to their efficacy on pain relief during perioperative anesthetic management. As intraoperative hemodynamic stability is an important factor for surgeons to achieve better outcomes because of its effect on the quality of arthroscopic visualization for shoulder arthroplasty, the investigators will also observe the effects of this matter. 50 patients scheduled for elective surgery will be randomized by closed envelope method into two groups (n=20) receiving either interscalene brachial plexus block or shoulder anterior capsular block preoperatively. Each group receives standardized general anesthesia and perioperative pain management protocol. Data to be recorded are numeric rating scales, intraoperative and postoperative analgesic use, intraoperative hemodynamic parameters, and arthroscopic visualization score. Moreover, block performance time, motor block, and side effects or complications will be noted.
Shoulder arthroscopy is widely used for treatment of different shoulder pathologies. Visual clarity is essential for successful and safe surgery. The aim of present study is to determine whether intraarticular use of tranexamic acid (TXA) in surgery fluid can improve visual clarity and early postoperative pain.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate surgeon-rated visual clarity and the need for increased irrigation pump pressure during arthroscopic shoulder surgery and to evaluate mean arterial pressure, operative time, and any adverse events that occur during arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
Tranexamic acid has seen an increase in use over the past decade in hip and knee arthroplasty as well as spine surgery with more recent use seen in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). The mechanism of action of TXA is as a lysine analogue that competitively inhibits the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin thus resulting in its antifibrinolytic activity. Investigators have showed that compared with placebo TXA had a statistically significant effect on blood and postoperative hemoglobin levels in TSA. To date there are no studies investigating the effect of TXA in arthroscopy of any kind or studies examining the ability of TXA to aid in surgeon visualization in arthroscopic procedures. The investigators of this study will use change in pump pressure as a surrogate objective measure for surgeon visualization. The hypothesis is that participants who receive TXA will have a lower change in pump pressure compared to participants who do not receive TXA.
This is a randomized controlled trial of 200 patients between the ages of 18 and 65 years undergoing outpatient knee or shoulder arthroscopy. Patients will be evaluated clinically at 2 and 6 weeks post-operatively. Patients will be recruited from experienced arthroscopic surgeons at 3 hospital sites in Hamilton, Ontario. All research will be conducted according to international standards of Good Clinical Practice and institutional research policies and procedures.
To improve the outcome after surgery, effective pain control is needed. The aim of the current study was to compare the efficacy of ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block versus the intra articular injection of local anesthetic for post-operative analgesia in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy.
Strategies to minimize soft tissue swelling during shoulder arthroscopy are constantly sought after. The investigators propose an unfamiliar method which may reduce tissue swelling during shoulder arthroscopy.
Previous studies have confirmed that IV dexamethasone prolongs brachial plexus blocks. However, these studies only used fixed doses of IV dexamethasone at relatively high doses, which could potentially lead to increased glucose levels, delayed wound healing, and unintended side effects. There remains a paucity of research on the effective dose range of IV dexamethasone for the prolongation of supraclavicular blocks. The optimal dosage of IV dexamethasone for prolongation of analgesia vs. motor block prolongation from supraclavicular blocks in shoulder surgery has yet to be delineated.
