Study of analgesia using bupivicaine as local infiltration in cholecystectomy

Postoperative Analgesia In Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Comparative Study Using Bupivacaine Instillation And Infiltration Versus Parenteral Analgesia (Tramadol)

In a prospective randomized double blind clinical study, 120 patients of either sex in the age group of 25-65 years with ASA I and II, who were scheduled to undergo elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were allocated to two groups of 60 patients each with regard to postoperative analgesia. In Group-I (n=60) the patients received Bupivacaine (0.5%) 20ml, instilled in gallbladder bed and the und...

Extracapsular local infiltration analgesia in hip arthroscopy: a retrospective study

Many hip arthroscopy patients experience significant pain in the immediate postoperative period. Although peripheral nerve blocks have demonstrated efficacy in alleviating some of this pain, they come with significant costs. Local infiltration analgesia (LIA) may be a significantly cheaper and efficacious treatment modality. Although LIA has been well studied in hip and knee arthroplasty, its e...

High-volume Local Infiltration Analgesia in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty

Analysis of Flow Rate Through Elastomeric Local Infiltration Analgesia Pumps

Background: Local infiltration analgesia pumps have been increasingly used to provide postoperative pain relief. However, their flow rate over time may not be reliable and accurate which can pose concerns regarding the achievement of the desired therapeutic level. We sought to find out in vitro if the flow rate of two elastomeric infusion pumps when combined with two types of wound catheter is ...
