conclusions the study results demonstrated that preemptive use of dextromethorphan reduced postoperative pain and opioid consumption. patients and methods this double blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on arthroscopic surgery candidates. participants were randomly allocated to interventions and assigned to two groups of dextromethorphan and placebo. in dextromethorphan group, the pat...

conclusions intraperitoneal bupivacaine administration at the beginning and end of laparoscopic cholecystectomy reduced only visceral and shoulder pains at the 4th postoperative hour, but had no effect on reducing neither ponv, nor opioid demand, during the first four postoperative hours. results there were no demographic data differences between groups. no differences were found between the tw...

results sixty patients completed the study. patients in the hydrocortisone group had no statistically significant abdominal and shoulder pain scores compared to the bupivacaine group. the patients were similar regarding postoperative analgesic requirements, return of bowel function, nausea and vomiting. no adverse effect was detected in either group. background postoperative pain is a major com...

background: this randomized controlled study was designed to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of intraperitoneal ketamine versus bupivacaine in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. methods: we randomly divided 60 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy into two groups. the intervention group patients received intraperitoneal ketamine (0.5 mg/ kg) dilut...

background: acute postoperative pain is an important surgical side effect that may delay patient discharge in ambulatory operations; moreover, the strategies used to alleviate pain may cause side effects that require longer hospitalization to recover. in this clinical trial, we compared two current anesthetic methods with special concerns about postoperative pain intensity beside other importan...

introduction: root canal preparation techniques may cause postoperative pain. the aim of the present study was to compare the intensity of postoperative pain after endodontic treatment using hand files, single file rotary (oneshape), and single file reciprocating (reciproc) systems. methods and materials: in this single-blind, parallel-grouped randomized clinical trial a total of 150 healthy pa...

Postoperative intussusception is a rare complication after various kinds of operations, the incidence of POI is 0.01–0.25 % of children following laparotomy. We reported and analyzed a case of a patient who developed postoperative intussusception following laparotomy for Nissen fundoplication.Postoperative intussusception differs from the other cases of invagination with respect to the pathogen...

background: infants may lose their body resources after surgery due to inadequate nutrient intake and undergoing long periods of fasting after surgery for esophageal atresia, increases risk of several complications. aim: this study aimed to evaluate the effects of early feeding support on the postoperative weight gain status of infants with esophageal atresia. method: this randomized, controlle...

background post-operative nausea and vomiting (ponv) is one of the common problems after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. objectives the current study aimed to compare dexamethasone effect with that of granisetron in prevention of ponv. patients and methods in the current study 104 patients aged 20-60 with asa class i or ii who were candidates for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in the ...

background pain control in children is still a therapeutic dilemma. preschool patients are affected from undesirable effects of postoperative pain more than adults. tonsillectomy is associated with a high incidence of postoperative pain, not only complicating the recovery, but also delaying patients discharge. objectives despite employing different surgical and anesthetic strategies in post-ton...
