Background: Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) and pain commonly arises postoperatively in patients who undergo intra-operative urinary catheterization. The study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of intravenous lidocaine to prevent CRBD and postoperative pain in complex lumbar spinal surgery.
Methods: Eighty male patients, aged 20-79 years, scheduled for elective fusion spine surgery at least two levels were randomly assigned to receive either intravenous lidocaine (1.
Article Synopsis
- Transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFESI) are used to treat lumbosacral radiculopathy, and this study compares the effectiveness of adding either 0.9% or 3% hypertonic saline to the treatment.
- Results showed that patients receiving the 3% saline (H-group) had better pain relief and functional outcomes at 3 months compared to those receiving 0.9% saline (N-group).
- The study concludes that 3% hypertonic saline can be a beneficial addition to TFESI, although further randomized studies are needed to assess its effectiveness compared to steroids.
Article Synopsis
- * Results showed similar success rates in both groups (about 66.7%) for pain relief after three and six months, with a median time to pain recurrence being slightly longer for the CRF group.
- * However, the CPRF group reported fewer postoperative side effects like numbness and hypersensitivity compared to the CRF group, suggesting a potential benefit of the combined treatment.
Background: Propofol-sparing effect of lidocaine has not been fully elucidated because propofol is usually mixed with many medications in anesthetic practice. Therefore, the study aimed to verify the additive effect of intravenous lidocaine to propofol without other sedative medications and control the depth of anesthesia using the bispectral index (BIS) during colonoscopy in a prospective, randomized, double-blinded controlled trial.
Methods: Sixty-eight patients scheduled and undergoing colonoscopy were randomly allocated to receive intravenous lidocaine (1.
Purpose: The study aimed to determine the efficacy of lidocaine at different low doses to reduce fentanyl-induced cough (FIC).
Methods: Three hundred twenty patients aged from 18 to 60 years with ASA I and II scheduled for general anesthesia were randomly assigned to 4 groups to obtain peripheral intravenous 0.9%NaCl (Group I), lidocaine 0.
Epidural steroid injection (ESI) has been used in managing chronic radicular pain. Regarding various techniques of ESI, the synergistic effect of caudal ESI (CESI) on transforaminal ESI (TFESI) in chronic lumbosacral radicular pain in prospective randomized controlled trial has not been determined. : A total of 54 eligible patients with lumbosacral radicular pain were randomly allocated to undergo TFESI plus CESI (TC group) or TFESI alone (T group).

The objective of the study aimed to compare the effects of intravenous propofol and propofol with low-dose ketamine on preventing postextubation cough and laryngospasm.
Methods: In all, 120 patients scheduled surgery under general anaesthesia were randomly assigned into three groups.
