Advancement of Psychophysics of Pain Modulation From Lab to Clinic: Constructing Susceptibility...
PainPostoperativeRecent advances in the field of pain psychophysics that have enhanced the understanding of pain processing by the nervous system seem to characterize the individual pattern of pain processing, thereby enabling the prediction of a person's susceptibility to develop chronic pain consequent to surgery. In this project, the researchers propose to apply a wide array of advanced testing methods in order to prospectively assess the pain modulation pattern of pain free patients about to undergo an elective thoracotomy. Since about half of post-thoracotomy patients suffer from chronic neuropathic postoperative pain, the researchers expect to identify which tests predict a risk for this pain and the relative power of the relevant tests in this prediction, and to construct a short and applicable tool, the 'pain susceptibility profile', that will reliably predict the risk for the development of pain. The expected results of this project will serve the field of pain prevention by identifying patients at risk and tailoring interventions to reduce the risk of chronic pain.
Morphine Consumption in the Obese Patients
Pharmacological ActionPost Operative Pain4 moreThe goal of this observational study is to evaluate the quality of postoperative analgesia in a group of obese patients schedule to bariatric surgery under TIVA Opiod-free after to receive lidocaine and ketamine perfusion. The main question it aims to answer are: How lidocaine and ketamine perfusion during recovery period does impact over morphine consumption on the following 48 hours after surgery? All participants will receive total intravenous anesthesia and, at the end of the surgery, they will be divided in two groups, group A: placebo and, group B: with postoperative lidocaine and ketamine perfusion. Our hypothesis is ketamine and lidocaine are a good alternative to decrease the use of morphine in obese patients.

THE EFFICIENCY OF FASCIAL PLANE BLOCKS IN BARIATRIC SURGERY
Regional Anesthesia MorbidityPost Operative Pain1 moreBariatric surgery effectively produces weight loss and reduces obesity-related comorbidities. Although it is mostly performed with minimally invasive techniques, the patients may still suffer from moderate-to-severe pain immediately after surgery [1]. Opioids remain the first choice for multimodal analgesia in the treatment of postoperative pain. Providing analgesia after bariatric surgery might be challenging due to a high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and the increased sensitivity to respiratory depression triggered by opioid overuse after surgeryThe most common plane block techniques utilized during laparoscopic bariatric surgery are transversus abdominis plane block (TAP), rectus sheath block (RB), the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and the external oblique intercostal block (EOI). In this study, we have evaluated the auxiliary benefit of these various techniques in reduction of the postoperative in bariatric surgery. patients who had laparoscopic bariatric surgery at VKV American Hospital between January 2019 and December 2021 were reviewed retrospectively.

Postoperative ComplicationsPostoperative PainPostoperative disturbances for patients' well-being in the PACU after general or spinal anaesthesia will be assessed. Influence of the offer of beverages and music will be assessed regarding their wellbeing, satisfaction and pain.
Data Collection for Prediction of Postoperative Chronic Pain for a Software
Chronic Postoperative PainPostoperative Persistent Pain (PPP) is reported with a high incidence in adults 11.5-47%. This high incidence effects quality of life of patients causes social-economical problems and arises medico-legal issues. This study will be undertaken for producing a database by the evaluation of surgeries in 4 hospitals located in Istanbul. This database will be used in establishing a software by using data mining technology in the prediction of PPP

Prevalence and Predictors of Prolonged Post-surgical Opioid Use: a Prospective Observational Cohort...
Opioid Use DisordersOpioid-related Disorders5 morePost-surgical opioid prescribing intended for the short-term management of acute pain may lead to long-term opioid use, and its associated harms. This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of prolonged post-surgical opioid use, and patient-related factors associated with prolonged post-surgical opioid use.
Postoperative Subtenons Anesthesia for Postoperative Pain in Pediatric Strabismus Surgery
StrabismusThe purpose of this study is to determine if local anesthetic, either a subtenons injection (an injection just beneath the surface tissue of the eye) or a topical ophthalmic gel (applied directly on the surface of the eye) given at the end of strabismus surgery reduces postoperative pain. Some surgeons routinely use either the subtenon and/or topical anesthetic for pain at the end of strabismus surgery.
