NEUROSCIENCES AND NEUROANAESTHESIA Parecoxib for analgesia after craniotomy
Methods. In a prospective double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, we investigated the analgesic effect of a single dose of parecoxib 40 mg given at dural closure in 82 patients undergoing elective craniotomies. Remifentanil was used intraoperatively, and i.v. morphine was titrated to the requirement in the post-anaesthetic unit. On the ward, i.m. morphine 5 mg as required and regula...
متن کاملEffect of intravenous parecoxib on post-craniotomy pain.
BACKGROUND Pain management in craniotomy patients is challenging, with mild-to-moderate pain intensity, moderate-to-high risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and potentially catastrophic consequences of analgesic-related side-effects. The aim of this study was to determine whether i.v. parecoxib administered at dural closure during craniotomy decreased total morphine consumption an...
متن کاملSalmonella Infection After Craniotomy
Salmonella is an uncommon cause of meningitis, especially after neurosurgery. Here, we present a case of Salmonella meningitis after craniotomy, likely due to physical contact with a snake after surgery, with contiguous spread from the patient's hand to her wound. The purpose of this report is to serve as a reminder that patients undergoing neurosurgery should avoid contact with pets, including...
متن کاملRadiosurgery after craniotomy.
Adjuvant irradiation of the resection cavity after craniotomy is a newer application of stereotactic radiosurgery. This technique has been proposed to avoid long-term neurotoxicity of whole-brain radiation therapy, and seems to afford comparable local control rates in the multiple published retrospective series so far. Currently, many questions remain to be answered to define the optimal patien...
متن کاملIntravenous parecoxib and continuous femoral block for postoperative analgesia after total knee arthroplasty. A randomized, double-blind, prospective trial.
BACKGROUND Up until now, the optimal strategy for postoperative pain management after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains to be elucidated. OBJECTIVE The current investigation aimed to examine the analgesic efficacy and the opioid sparing effects of intravenous parecoxib in combination with continuous femoral blockade. STUDY DESIGN Randomized, double-blind, prospective trial. SETTING Un...
