We studied 60 patients, ASA 1, aged 18-60 years, undergoing elective surgical procedures. The patients were randomly assigned to 3 groups who received intravenously either 0.15 mg/kg cisatracurium [2ED95], 0,6 mg rocuronium [2ED95] or a combination of 0.075 mg/kg cisatracurium [1ED95], plus 0.3 mg rocuronium [1ED95]. In the awake patients, the pain on injection of muscle relaxant was assessed o...

Pain is a complex process in the central nervous system (CNS). Several factors can alter the pain threshold and insulin is one of them which is produced by the beta cells of pancreas and capable of crossing blood-brain barrier. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of intra-cerebroventricular (ICV) injection of insulin on the pain response to formalin in short-term induced diabetic ...

conclusions the pil epidural injection is as effective as tf epidural injection in improving pain and functional status, in patients with chronic lumbosacral low back pain, due to disc degeneration. results effective pain relief [numeric rating scale (nrs) < 3] was observed in 77.3% (95% ci: 67‒90.5%) of patients in pil group and 74.2% (95% ci: 62.4 - 89.4%) of patients in the tf group (p = 0.3...

provided the original work is properly cited. CC The introduction of rocuronium bromide to the anesthetic field has led to its replacement of succinylcholine for rapidsequence intubation because of its rapid onset time and intermediate duration. Rocuronium is an especially good choice for children because it avoids the complications of succinylcholine; however, injection pain or withdrawal move...

1 / 7 Introduction: Caudal epidural injection can be considered in persistent low back or sciatic pain not responding to conservative measures. There has been dramatic increase in the use of epidural steroid injection. They are now one of the most commonly performed procedures in the United States for the management of low back pain.

introduction: tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgeries performed worldwide. post-operative pain arising from tonsillectomy is one of the earliest complications that can postpone oral nutrition and increase the hospitalization period. administration of opioids via injection is usually preferred to relive pain in these patients. however, the side effects of this approach prompted us to s...

BACKGROUND The use of Propofol often results in pain upon injection, which is sometimes very distressing for patients. Many patients report some degree of pain or discomfort on injection with propofol. Injection-induced pain during induction of anesthesia can result in patient's discomfort. OBJECTIVES This study was performed to evaluate the effects of nitroglycerine on pain severity in patie...
