At the end of surgery, tables were assigned to each patient indicating the degree of pain(0-3) felt during the operation.RESULTS: Thirty-two percent of patients in group 1 declared to have not felt any pain against the 77% of patients in group 2. Fifty-nine percent of patients in group 1 complained about only a slight discomfort against 20% of group 2 patients. Only a small percentage of patients in group 1(5%) admitted severe pain, while no patient in group 2 admitted severe pain. Four patients of group 2 reported an episode of transient amaurosis, lasting several hours after surgery.CONCLUSION: Intracameral administration of lidocaine is a simple and secure method able to increase the analgesia during the cataract surgery, eliminating the discomfort and increasing also the cooperation of the patients during the steps of manipulation.展开更多

In these situations, opioid addiction is an important concern because of the dependency on opioids. The study aims to compare the effectiveness of intravenous(IV) fentanyl versus morphine in reducing pain in patients with opioid addiction who suffered from ATLI.METHODS: In this double-blind randomized clinical trial, 320 patients with ATLI, who presented to the emergency department(ED) from February 2016 to April 2016, were randomly divided into two groups. One group(160 patients) received 0.1 mg/kg IV morphine. The other group(160 patients) received 1 mcg/kg IV fentanyl. Patients' demographic data, pain score at specif ic intervals, vital signs, side effects, satisfaction and the need for rescue analgesia were recorded.RESULTS: Eight patients in the morphine group and five patients in the fentanyl group were excluded. Pain score in the fentanyl group had a significant decrease at 5-minute follow-up(P value=0.00). However, at 10, 30, and 60-minute follow-ups no signifi cant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of pain score reduction. The rescue analgesia was required in 12(7.7%) patients in the fentanyl group and in 48(31.6%) patients in the morphine group(P value=0.00). No signifi cant difference was observed regarding side effects, vital signs and patients' satisfaction between the two groups.CONCLUSION: Fentanyl might be an effective and safe drug in opioid addicts suffering from ATLI.展开更多

After birth, newborns are exposed to many painful attempts and their anxiety levels increase with it. These painful attempts lead to metabolic or physiological problems in newborns. Excessive protein expenditure when exposed to pain for a long time, electrolyte inhalation, weakening of the immune system. Even repetitive painful procedures increase mortality and morbidity. Children experience pain due to acute onset diseases such as otitis media or pharyngitis and also in different medical interventions such vaccination, blood transfusion, vascular access, dressing change, lumber punching, or sickle cell anemia. Appropriate assessment scales should be used to treat pain effectively and adequately. Pharmacological treatment as well as non-pharmacological treatment methods has been found to be effective in the treatment of pain. Non-pharmacological methods allow your body to release natural endorphins and help to lift the pain to a minimum level or completely. In this study, current approaches and studies about pain in children will be presented. Non-pharmacological methods will be examined in more detail. Every child has right to live a painless life. It is one of the main purposes of nursing care to relieve children’s pain and improve their life quality.展开更多

Methods A postoperative model of nociception was established in male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200 -250 g. A total of 96 rats were randomly divided into 8 groups. All drugs were administered intravenously either 5 rain pre-operation or 5 rain post-operation. The analgesic effects of systemic propofol were demonstrated by the measurement of a cumulative pain score （ CPS ）. After that, the lumbar enlargement of the spinal cord was removed to evaluate the mRNA level of the μ-opioid receptor （ MOR ） and δ-opioid receptor （ DOR） by RT-PCR. Results CPS and DOR mRNA expressions significantly increased after the operation. Both propofol post-treatment and propofol pre-treatment groups showed significant suppression of the increased CPS and the expression of DOR mRNA evoked by pain stimulation. Interestingly, propofol pre-treatment had a more pronounced effect in decreasing CPS and the expression of DOR mRNA. Furthermore, these observations were dose-dependent. MOR mRNA expression significantly increased after operation in all animals and propofol treatment had no impact on it. Conclusion Based on these findings, we suggest that propofol can serve as a valuable adjunct in acute postoperative pain management. Systemic propofol induces an analgesic effect on acute incisional pain in a dose-dependant manner, and this effect is mediated in the spinal cord and may be associated with the spinal DOR.展开更多

Methods: A total of 104 patients undergoing valve replacement surgery were included and divided into a 22F group (45 patients) and a 26F group (59 patients). The basic characteristics, postoperative ICU stay duration, drainage duration, postoperative complications, and pain scores were compared between the two groups. All data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software, with p Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, sex, and underlying diseases. The ICU stay duration and drainage duration showed no significant differences (p > 0.05). The total drainage volume in the 22F group was significantly lower than that in the 26F group (225 vs. 380 ml, p = 0.035), and the pain scores on the third postoperative day were also significantly lower in the 22F group (p Conclusion: Compared to the 26F group, patients in the 22F group exhibited less postoperative drainage volume and lower pain scores, suggesting that the 22F drainage tube may have better clinical outcomes after valve replacement surgery.展开更多
