BACKGROUND: Spinal anesthesia (SA) for the surgical management of chronic anal fissures is favored by surgeons as it provides an early return to daily activities; however, the agents applied for SA to achieve the best outcomes with minimized adverse effects are a matter of debate. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess the utility of Marcaine versus meperidine for SA induction of anoderm surgery. METHODS: This randomized clinical trial (RCT) was conducted on 138 patients with chronic anal fissures who were candidates for surgical management in 2020...

BACKGROUND: The pain experienced following supratentorial brain surgery is usually defined as moderate to severe. Therefore, pain-management approaches, including narcotics, are an integral part of treatment regimens that cause respiratory complications or seizures, and reducing this pain level and increasing patient satisfaction is vital. METHODS: This randomized, double-blind clinical trial study to evaluate the pain level and satisfaction in patients undergoing surgery for supratentorial brain neoplasms was performed on two groups with a sample size of 50 patients...

CONTEXT: Diabetes is one of the most common causes of neuropathy. Morbidity and mortality increase in patients suffering from diabetic polyneuropathy and are experienced by approximately 10 to 54% of diabetic patients. Severe pain, loss of sensation, increased risk of ulceration, and even amputation are the complications of diabetic neuropathy. Intradermal injection of botulinum toxin type-A (BTX-A) is a relatively novel method for the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy. This method is becoming popular considering its acceptable and long-lasting pain control and minimal systemic side effects...

BACKGROUND: Perioperative pain management strategies in the elderly undergoing hip arthroplasty need special and safe preemptive care. OBJECTIVES: The primary aim of this study was to compare the analgesic effects of preemptive ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block and lumbar erector spinae plane block (L-ESPB) in the elderly undergoing hip arthroplasty. The time to the first postoperative rescue analgesia was measured. The secondary aim was to assess the ease of spinal positioning (EOSP), onset of sensory block, block performance time, and patient satisfaction...

BACKGROUND: Depression is a prevalent mental disorder affecting more than 300 million people of all ages globally. Despite being the first-line treatment for depression, antidepressant medications are only effective for 60% - 70% of patients. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment for severe cases, although it can result in short-term side effects. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of remifentanil, dexmedetomidine, and metoral as premedications for ECT in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD)...

INTRODUCTION: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is characterized by extreme pain in a limb disproportional to the clinical history or physical findings accompanied by the signs of autonomic dysfunction. The pathophysiology of CRPS is obscure, making it challenging to treat. Treatment options include medications, physical therapy, and psychological support. In some cases, surgery or other minimally-invasive procedures such as nerve blocks may be recommended, while several novel treatments, such as ozone therapy, lack sufficient clinical evidence...

INTRODUCTION: Diphtheria is an infectious disease caused by exotoxin-producing Corynebacterium diphteriae and was a leading cause of death in childhood during the prevaccine era. This toxin is usually localized in the upper respiratory tract and may cause fatal airway obstruction. Many have used orotracheal intubation to secure the airway in diphtheria cases. However, the efficacy of tracheostomy under sedation while maintaining spontaneous ventilation and analgesia using trans-tracheal and superficial cervical block remains to be elucidated...

BACKGROUND: Finding the optimal combination of anesthetics to maintain hemodynamic stability during surgery can be challenging. Traditionally, strong opioid analgesics such as fentanyl and its newer analogs have been used. However, the use of narcotics is associated with certain side effects. OBJECTIVES: This study compares the effects of labetalol and remifentanil in pain control after bariatric surgery in Hazrat Rasool Akram Hospital. METHODS: This randomized, double-blind clinical trial was conducted on 48 laparoscopic bariatric surgery patients...

There is a lack of evidence to support the effectiveness of long-term opioid therapy in patients with chronic, noncancer pain. Despite these findings, opioids continue to be the most commonly prescribed drug to treat chronic back pain and many patients undergoing spinal surgery have trialed opioids before surgery for conservative pain management. Unfortunately, preoperative opioid use has been shown repeatedly in the literature to negatively affect spinal surgery outcomes. In this review article, we identify and summarize the main postoperative associations with preoperative opioid use that have been found in previously published studies by searching on PubMed, Google Scholar, Medline, and ScienceDirect; using keywords: Opioid dependency, postoperative, spinal surgery, specifically (1) increased postoperative chronic opioid use (24 studies); (2) decreased return to work (RTW) rates (8 studies); (3) increased length of hospital stay (LOS) (9 studies); and (4) increased healthcare costs (8 studies)...

BACKGROUND: Bowel edema leads to decreased perfusion and oxygenation of the intestine at the anastomotic site after colonic mass resection with failure of healing and leakage. Additionally, dehydration causes bowel hypoperfusion and difficulty healing with more complications. Fluid therapy guided by dynamic monitoring of fluid response can help avoid bowel dehydration and edema with fewer complications. OBJECTIVES: The main goal of this study was to compare the effects of intraoperative fluid therapy based on pulse pressure variation (PPV) to traditional fluid therapy to maintain adequate hydration without intraoperative instability of hemodynamics and postoperative complications...

BACKGROUND: Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), following cytoreductive surgery (CRS), is a lengthy procedure, usually associated with considerable bleeding due to the extensive nature of surgery. Various techniques have been used to decrease blood transfusion requirements. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the possible advantage of a single dose of tranexamic acid (TA) in such surgeries. METHODS: In this randomized comparative pilot study, 60 patients scheduled to undergo CRS followed by HIPEC were randomly assigned to 2 equal groups: group 1 (TA group) that received 10 mg/kg of TA in 100 mL of 0...

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) has become popular over the years due to its safety and low invasiveness. This surgery can be performed with different anesthesia techniques; however, the extent to which the surgeon and patient are satisfied with the analgesia is debatable. OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the efficiency of the S1 transforaminal epidural block. METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted on 60 patients with L4 - L5 lumbar disc herniation who underwent PTED under the S1 transforaminal epidural block...
