Objective: To compare preemptive and postoperative analgesic efficacy of tramadol and lornoxicam administered before anaesthesia induction in lumbar discectomy.

Methods: This randomised, double-blind trial was conducted on 60 ASA I and II patients undergoing lumbar discectomy. Group L (n=30) received 3×8 mg day lornoxicam, and Group T (n=30) received 3×1.5 mg kg day tramadol. A verbal rating scale (VRS), the duration of effective analgesia, the number of additional analgesics used, adverse effects and patient satisfaction were evaluated at the postoperative 30 minute and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours.

Results: There were no significant differences between Groups L and T regarding demographic and clinical characteristics, the number of additional analgesics and the duration of effective analgesia, adverse effects and patient satisfaction. VRS scores of the patients in Group T were significantly higher than those in Group L at the postoperative 30 minute (p=0.050) and the 1st hour (p=0.005).

Conclusion: Lornoxicam, which was used for preemptive and postoperative analgesia in lumbar disc surgery, had provided adequate and effective analgesia such as tramadol. Moreover, preemptive analgesia was quite effective in prevention and treatment of postoperative pain.

Background: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) frequently occurs following endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Given the complexity of predicting AIS clinically, there is a pressing need to develop a preemptive prediction model and investigate the impact of anesthesia depth on AIS.

Methods: A total of 333 patients diagnosed with AIS were included in the study, comprising individuals with non-POCD ( = 232) or POCD ( = 101).

Efficacy of Preemptive Topical Lidocaine 5% Plaster in the Prevention of Post-Craniotomy Pain, a Randomized Clinical Trial.

J Pain Res

Department of Pain Management, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, 100070, People's Republic of China.

Objective: The current landscape is characterized by a dearth of effective, safe, simple, and noninvasive methods for preventing pain following craniotomy. This clinical trial seeks to evaluate the efficacy profile of preemptive application of a topical 5% lidocaine patch in alleviating post-craniotomy pain.

Methods: This was a multi-centric, prospective randomized placebo-controlled triple-blind clinical trial.

Preemptive Use of a Left Microaxial Flow Pump in Peripartum Cardiomyopathy.

JACC Case Rep

Division of Cardiology, Baylor Scott and White Health-Temple, Temple, Texas, USA.

Management of peripartum cardiomyopathy and cardiogenic shock often presents a significant clinical challenge. These patients are frequently best served at a specialized center with access to cardiac anesthesia, maternal-fetal medicine, and cardiac intensivists. Planning for delivery involves a plan for anesthesia and management of hemodynamic changes during the postoperative period.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, 37# Wainan Guoxue Road, Chengdu, Sichuan, 610041, People's Republic of China.

Introduction: Preemptive multimodal analgesia (PMA) is commonly employed for pain control after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, the optimal timing for initiating PMA remains unclear. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of PMA administered at different time points before TKA.

Carotid endarterectomy in the setting of persistent hypoglossal artery.

J Vasc Surg Cases Innov Tech

February 2025

Division of Vascular Surgery, Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, Houston, TX.

Persistent hypoglossal artery (PHA) is a rare, anatomical variant in which the posterior cerebral circulation is primarily supplied by a branch of the carotid artery, rather than the vertebral arteries. This case report discusses carotid endarterectomy performed on a man, 67 years of age, with high-grade, asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis and ipsilateral PHA. Preoperative computed tomography angiography identified the PHA arising from the internal carotid artery, compensating for atretic bilateral vertebral arteries and providing primary perfusion to anterior spinal artery.
