Erector spinae plane block vs non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for severe renal colic pain: A pilot clinical feasibility study.

Aim: Ultrasound-guided plane blocks are increasingly used in the multi-modal analgesic concept for reducing opioid consumption. The present study was conducted to compare the analgesic effect of intravenous non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and erector spinae plane (ESP) block in renal colic patients.

Methods: In this prospective randomised study, 40 patients with renal colic pain were randomly assigned into two groups: Group NSAID (n = 20) received an intravenous infusion of 50 mg of dexketoprofen trometamol and Group ESP (n = 20) received ultrasound-guided ESP block with 30 ml 0.

Subarachnoid block and ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane block for caesarean section: A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Background: After caesarean section, maternal postoperative comfort is critical to allow the new mother to care for her baby. Insufficient pain relief during the postoperative period may delay maternal/infant bonding and, in addition, such pain has been linked to subsequent depression and chronic pain. Caesarean section is commonly performed with a Pfannenstiel incision, and a transversalis fascia plane (TFP) block provides postoperative analgesia in the T12 and L1 dermatomes.

Comparison of types 2 and 3 quadratus lumborum muscle blocks : Open inguinal hernia surgery in patients with spinal anesthesia.

Objective: The efficacy of quadratus lumborum muscle block (QLB) in abdominal surgery is known; however, the efficacy of different QLB types is unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of ultrasound-guided QLB type 2 and type 3 on postoperative opioid consumption and pain scores in patients undergoing inguinal hernia surgery.

Material And Methods: In this study 60 patients undergoing open inguinal hernia surgery were randomly assigned to 3 groups.

Postoperative analgesic efficacy of perioperative intravenous lidocaine infusion in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty: a prospective, randomized, double-blind study.

Purpose: Intravenous lidocaine infusion has been used for postoperative analgesia in many surgical procedures in recent years. The aim of this randomized, double-blind study was to investigate the postoperative analgesic efficacy of perioperative intravenous lidocaine infusion in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty surgery.

Materials And Methods: Forty-eight American Society of Anesthesiologists I and II patients, aged 18-40 years scheduled for septorhinoplasty surgery, were assigned into two groups.

Predestinating Role of Cardiac Ganglia on Heart Life Expectancy in Rabbits After Brain Death Following Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: An Experimental Study.

Background: Cardiac ganglia are rechargeable batteries of the heart. The essential role of cardiac ganglia on cardiac life expectancy has not been examined following brain death. The aim of this study was to determine cardiac ganglia numbers and neuron density following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).

Preemptive Analgesic Efficacy of the Ultrasound-Guided Bilateral Superficial Serratus Plane Block on Postoperative Pain in Breast Reduction Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study.

Purpose: Breast surgery is an exceedingly common procedure and associated with an increased incidence of acute and chronic pain. Preemptive regional anesthesia techniques may improve postoperative analgesia for patients undergoing breast surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of preoperative bilateral serratus plane block on postoperative opioid consumption in patients undergoing breast reduction surgery.

Less painful ESWL with ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block: a prospective randomized controlled study.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has been widely used for the treatment of urinary tract stones and is usually administered as an outpatient procedure, although the vast majority of patients do not tolerate it without sedoanalgesia.

Relief of refractory renal colic in emergency department: A novel indication for ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block.

Plane blocks have become very popular in recent years with the introduction of ultrasonography into the regional anesthesia and algology practice. Erector spinae plane (ESP) block involves injection of local anesthetics between erector spinae muscles and transverse process of vertebrae and can block the dorsal and ventral rami of thoracolumbar spinal nerves. The primary factor in the great popularity of this block is easy sonographic identification of landmarks and lower complication rate compared to paravertebral or central neuroaxial blocks.
