Comparison of Levobupivacaine and Lidocaine for Post-Operative Analgesia Following Tympanoplasty

Post-operative Analgesia in Opioid Dependent Patients: Comparison of ‎Intravenous Morphine and Sublingual Buprenorphine

Background: Acute and chronic pain is prevalent in patients with opioid dependence. Lack of knowledge concerning the complex relationship between pain, opioid use, and withdrawal syndrome can account for the barriers encountered for pain management. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of sublingual (SL) buprenorphine for post-operative analgesia, compared with intravenous (IV) morp...

Comparison of Lidocaine, Xylazine, and a Combination of Lidocaine and Xylazine for Caudal Epidural Analgesia in Dromedary Camels

Objective- This study was performed to investigate the analgesic effects of lidocaine, xylazine and lidocaine/xylazine combination in epidural anesthesia in dromedary camels. Design- Experimental Study Animals- Fifteen healthy immature dromedary camels Methods- The camels were randomly designed in 3 equal groups. In group L: lidocaine 2% (0.22 mg/kg), in group X: xylazine 2% (0.17 mg/kg), an...

Novel concepts of analgesia for post operative pain: Multimodal analgesia

Thoracic epidural analgesia in post-thoracotomy patients: comparison of three different concentrations of levobupivacaine and sufentanil.

BACKGROUND Relative effects of dosage, volume and concentration of local anaesthetics used for postoperative thoracic epidural analgesia are still under debate. In this randomized, prospective, double-blinded study, we evaluated the incidence of side-effects such as changes in arterial pressure, postoperative nausea, vomiting, and pruritus in patients admitted for thoracic surgery during contin...

Ketamine and levobupivacaine versus levobupivacaine alone for post operative analgesia and side effects in lower abdominal surgeries in children – A comparative study

Background: Different additive drugs such as opioids, epinephrine, clonidine, and neostigmine have been used along with local anaesthetics to improve the duration and quality of analgesia. Few studies have demonstrated the increase of efficacy in various aspects after combining dexmedetomidine and ropivacaine and dexmedetomidine to caudal bupivacaine in pediatric major abdominal cancer surgerie...
