conclusions patients in the bupivacaine infiltration and caudal block groups had less postoperative pain than those in the acetaminophen group and received lower amount of meperidine. we concluded that in children, bupivacaine infiltration and caudal block with bupivacaine produce better analgesia than suppository acetaminophen. it seems that bupivacaine infiltration is better than caudal block...

introduction: many patients suffer from mild, moderate or severe pain during or after root canal therapy. theoretically, post-operative pain control can be achieved by using long-acting local anesthetics. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a long acting anesthesia, bupivacaine, on preventing post-operative pain associated with endodontic treatment, and to compare it with lido...

conclusions magnesium infiltration did not decrease total dose and number of episodes needed for morphine rescue analgesic. bupivacaine infiltration into surgical site was more effective than magnesium sulfate infiltration in postoperative pain control. objectives to compare postoperative analgesic effect of infiltration of magnesium versus bupivacaine into incision of inguinal hernia repair. p...

BACKGROUND The control of postoperative pain is important in children, and poor pain control leads to organ dysfunction and behavioral problems. OBJECTIVES We compared the analgesic effects of suppository acetaminophen, bupivacaine wound infiltration, and caudal block with bupivacaine on postoperative pain in pediatric inguinal herniorrhaphy. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this double-blinded, ran...

Pain is common after a bone graft has been taken from the iliac crest (Kurz, Garfin and Booth 1989). Local wound infiltration with bupivacaine at closure is effective, but relief lasts for only four hours (Todd and Reed 1991). We report a method of infusing bupivacaine which gives effective and lasting analgesia. Patients and methods. Patients requiring iliac crest grafts were randomly selected...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the effect of bupivacaine and to compare the routes of administration of bupivacaine in the management of postoperative incision site pain after thyroidectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Consecutive patients who were planned for thyroidectomy surgery were randomized into three groups of 30 patients each: Group 1 (control group): standard thyroidectomy surgery without ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Local infiltration of the surgical wound is one of the important components of multimodal analgesia for post-operative pain relief. This study determines the post-operative analgesic effect of addition of dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine for local infiltration of the surgical wound. METHODS Sixty women belonging to American Society of Anesthesiologists' Grade 1 or 2 posted f...

BACKGROUND Postoperative pain is one of the most common problems after hernia repair. Decrease in postoperative pain accelerates functional recovery, decreases duration of hospital stay and postoperative morbidity. OBJECTIVES To compare postoperative analgesic effect of infiltration of magnesium versus bupivacaine into incision of inguinal hernia repair. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a double bli...

BACKGROUND Liposome bupivacaine is a novel formulation of the local anesthetic bupivacaine, designed to provide prolonged postsurgical analgesia. This analysis examined pooled efficacy data as reflected in cumulative pain scores from 10 randomized, double-blind liposome bupivacaine clinical studies in which the study drug was administered via local wound infiltration. METHODS A total of 823 p...
