TAP Block: Does Volume Make a Difference?
Post-operative PainPatients who have abdominal surgery will experience pain from the incision. The lumbar TAP block is a procedure used to reach the nerve endings in the abdominal wall so that there is a reduction in pain after surgery. Using ultrasound guidance, a solution of ropivacaine will be injected after surgery. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of changes in the volume of the injection.
Intravenous Acetaminophen in Craniotomy
Postoperative PainThe purpose of this study is to assess the use of intravenous Acetaminophen (OFIRMEV) as an effective adjunct therapeutic agent in patients undergoing craniotomy.
Morphine PK Subgroup Analysis
Post Operative PainThis study was originally undertaken to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of an intravenously administered dose of ketorolac compared with intravenous morphine in the relief of acute, postoperative pain in children admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. Using the urine and plasma samples originally collected from patients in the morphine treatment group and which were never analyzed, this proposal seeks to study the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of intravenous morphine in critically-ill children along with its concentration-related efficacy using prior measures of pain.
Transversus Abdominis Plane Catheter: a Study of Method
Postoperative PainMajor abdominal surgery is associated with postoperative pain. Transversus Abdominis Plane(TAP) block has been shown to reduce pain and opioid-requirements after abdominal surgery. However a single block has a short effect of up to 12 hours depending on the type local-anesthetics used. With this study we wish to investigate the possibilities to place a TAP-catheter in order to prolong the the effect of the TAP-block by giving repeatedly bolus-injections in the TAP catheter and to study the pain and the opioid requirements of patients undergoing elective colon-resection when given a TAP-catheter preoperatively. Our hypothesis is that it is practical and technical possible to place bilateral TAP-catheters pre-operatively and that pain and opioid-requirements will be low.
Pilot Study: Rectus Sheath Blocks for Improving Abdominal Surgery Conditions
HerniaPain2 moreThe purpose of this study is to show that the use of preoperative rectus sheath blocks can ultimately alleviate the need for using nondepolarizing muscle relaxants during certain abdominal procedures.

PainPostoperativeThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of needle acupuncture in comparison to a conventional postoperative pain management in terms of reducing pain and pain medication use in an interdisciplinary setting in a controlled, randomized study design after implantation of total knee arthroplasty .
Serratus Anterior Plane Block: Post-operative Analgesia in Video-assisted Thoracic Surgery
Regional AnesthesiaThoracic Surgery4 moreThe objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of the Serratus Anterior Plane block (SPB) realised in its deep plane, with a multi-holed catheter in place for twenty four hours, to a standard intravenous analgesia for small videoassisted thoracic surgery interventions. The objective is also to evaluate the resorption rate of local anesthetic at this level, and make a population pharmacokinetic analysis.

Transumbilical Versus Lateral Transabdominal Removal of Benign Adnexal Masses Via Laparoscopy
Postoperative PainIn cases of benign adnexal mass laparoscopic surgery, women were randomized to two groups: transumbilical vs. transabdominal removal. Need for pain medication, postoperative pain and patients´ satisfaction were assessed between the groups, as well as surgeons´ opinions and costs.
