BACKGROUND The surgical pleth index (SPI) is proposed for titration of analgesic drugs during general anesthesia. Several reports have investigated the effect of SPI on the consumption of opioids including remifentanil, fentanyl, and sufentanil during anesthesia, but there are no reports about oxycodone. We aimed to investigate intravenous oxycodone consumption between SPI-guided analgesia and ...

OBJECTIVE Nowadays, there are many pain relief methods for reducing the pain and stress of labor and delivery. In our study, two different remifentanil protocols (bolus and bolus+infusion) administered by patient-controlled analgesia method were compared with intramuscular meperidine for labor analgesia. METHODS Ninety parturients who were scheduled for vaginal delivery were included in this ...

Introduction: The use of epidural analgesia in patients with implanted intrathecal delivery devices is somewhat controversial. Major concerns include the risk of damaging the intrathecal catheter, the risk of infection, and the potential for interaction between the epidurally-administered and the intrathecally-delivered medication. In children with cerebral palsy, intrathecal administration of ...

Pain is a problem that often has to be addressed in the prehospital setting. The delivery of analgesia may sometimes prove challenging due to problems establishing intravenous access or a harsh winter environment. To solve the problem of intravenous access, intranasal administration of drugs is used in some settings. In cases where vascular access was foreseen or proved hard to establish (one o...

Methods: descriptive cross-sectional was conducted on 100 aged six months 17 years candidates or biopsy. Sampling easy, accessible, sequential. Children ...

background: opiate is used in patient-controlled intravenous analgesia pumps (pcia) for controlling pain in post-surgical patients.other drugs are remarkably added to opioid pumps to enhance quality, lengthen analgesia, and reduce side effects. lidocaine, a local anesthetic which inhibits sodium channels, has anesthetic and analgesic effects when injected locally or intravenously. the objective...

Background Acute pain is a common concern after breast surgery, and despite the conventional management of with different analgesics, many patients have poor responses. Paravertebral, epidural, pectoral serratus plane blocks are regional blocks, which used commonly to control surgeries. Each these techniques has its advantages disadvantages.
