Pain after cervicofacial cancer surgery with free flap reconstruction is both underestimated and undertreated.

We assessed the influence of common peroneal nerve infiltration on pain and opioid consumption in patients having oropharyngeal cancer surgery with fibular free flap mandibular reconstruction.

- - This study highlighted the absence of guidelines for ketamine use in chronic pain in Europe, prompting a Delphi survey among experts to create a national consensus.
- - The survey involved 28 specialists and found that 81.3% of the items achieved consensus, emphasizing ketamine's effectiveness primarily for neuropathic pain and a preferred administration method via intravenous infusion.
- - The final conclusions support quarterly ketamine treatments in a hospital setting, a one-month effectiveness evaluation, and the recommendation to combine ketamine use with non-drug therapies.
Study Objective: To compare two brands of disposable plastic laryngoscope blades, Vital View plastic blades and Heine XP plastic blades, with the reusable Heine Classic+ Macintosh metal blades.
Design: Prospective randomized, controlled, single-blinded study.
Setting: Operating room of a university-affiliated hospital.
We compared the effects of systemic morphine on normal (heat and cold) pain and paradoxical burning pain evoked by the simultaneous application of innocuous warm and cold stimuli to the skin. Twelve healthy volunteers participated in a randomised, double-blind, cross-over study to compare the effects of intravenous administration of morphine (0.025 or 0.

This study investigates the effects of mandibular nerve block (MNB) with ropivacaine 10 mg ml(-1) in conjunction with general anaesthesia (GA) on postoperative analgesia after partial glossectomy or transmandibular lateral pharyngectomy.
Methods: In a randomized double-blind study, 42 patients (21 in each group) received an MNB by the lateral extra-oral approach (MNB group) or a deep s.
