Intramuscular tramadol versus ketorolac in patients with orthopedic and traumatologic postoperative pain: a comparative multicenter trial
1998
This 3-day, multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled trial was undertaken to assess the postoperative analgesic effect and therapeutic safety of intramuscular tramadol compared with intramuscular ketorolac in 48 patients undergoing orthopedic surgery and having postoperative pain assessed as 75 mm or more on a 100-mm visual analogue scale. Tramadol (100 mg/2 mL ampules) was administered as needed to a maximum of 400 mg/d, and ketorolac (30 mg/1 mL ampules) was given as needed up to 90 mg/d. Nine patients who received tramadol and six who received ketorolac needed only one dose of medication to achieve satisfactory analgesia. Tramadol had a more pronounced analgesic effect than did ke…
Comparison of analgesic effects of intravenous and intranasal ketorolac in patients with mandibular fracture-A Randomized Clinical Trial
2019
Background Similarity of pharmacokinetics of intranasal ketorolac to the intravenous form and other advantages have promoted its application. This study compared the analgesic effects of intravenous and intranasal ketorolac in patients undergoing mandibular fracture surgery. Material and Methods In this clinical trial study, Sixty-four patients with unilateral mandibular fracture were divided randomly into two groups. In group 1, 30 mg of intravenous (IV) ketorolac was injected every 8 hours and in group 2, intranasal (IN) ketorolac spray was used as a 100-µL puff in each nostril (31.5 mg) every 6 hours. After each patient regained consciousness, pain intensity was measured based on visual …
ESRA19-0278 Sufentanil sublingual tablet system (SSTS) in post-operative pain: a case series
2019
Background and aims SSTS is a preprogrammed, non invasive, patient-activated bed-side system that enables patients to manage moderate-severe acute pain in a hospital setting. Our aim is to evaluate efficacy, ease of use of SSTS, patients and nurses’ satisfaction. Methods We evaluate pain control and general satisfaction in patients treated with SSTS after general or orthopedic prosthetic surgery. Enrollment started on April the 1st at Policlinico Paolo Giaccone in Palermo and is still ongoing. SSTS allows patients to self-administer a 15-μg sufentanil tablet sublingually with a 20-minute lockout, up to 72 hours. We visit patients three times per day, recording pain control (NRS scale), arte…
ESRA19-0239 Surgical treatment of femoral and knee injuries under peripheral regional anaesthesia: a case series
2019
Background and aims Neuroaxial anaesthesia is gold standard for lower extremity surgeries. Nowadays the introduction of ultrasound guided peripheral nerves blocks (PBN) changed the approach to orthopaedic surgery. Methods This case series evaluates postoperative pain in 17 patients with femoral or knee fractures who received PNB because of contraindications to subarachnoid anaesthesia (eg. anticoagulation therapies, refusal). We performed femoral nerve block (levobupivacaine 0,5% 15 ml), obturators nerve block (levobupivacaine 0,5% 7 ml), lateral cutaneous nerve block (levobupivacaine 0.5% 3 ml) and sciatic nerve block (levobupivacaine 0,5% 20 ml) focusing on a lateral approach according to…
The long and winding road of non steroidal antinflammatory drugs and paracetamol in cancer pain management: A critical review
2013
The aim of this review was to assess the value of NSAIDs and paracetamol in patients with cancer pain to update a previous review performed ten years ago on this topic. The approach was analytic and based on clinical considerations, rather than on raw evidence, which often does not provide useful information in clinical practice. Both published reports from an extensive search of electronic data bases were collected from January 2001 to December 2011. A free-text search method was used including the following words and their combination: “Anti-inflammatory drugs OR paracetamol OR acetaminophen” AND/OR “cancer pain”. Any randomized-controlled trial was considered. Thirteen reports fulfitted …
