Clinical Trial – Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Versus Ilioinguinal Nerve Block for Pain Management in Inguinal Herniorraphy
This study compares efficacy of transversus abdominis plane block and ilioinguinal nerve
block for postoperative pain in patients undergoing inguinal herniorraphy with spinal
anesthesia. One-third of the patients will receive standard postoperative pain
regimen(control group), one-third will receive a transversus abdominis plane block (with
ultrasound guidance) and the last group will receive an ilioinguinal nerve block(with
ultrasound guidance) in addition to standard postoperative pain regimen. This study is a
Randomized prospective open-label controlled study.
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen on Pseudomonas aeruginosa susceptibility to imipenem and macrophages.
Abstract: The seriousness to treat burn wounds infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa led us to examine whether the effect of the carbapenem antibiotic imipenem is enhanced by hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). The effects of HBO (100% O2, 3 ATA, 5 h) in combination with imipenen...
Clinical Trial – Does the Addition of Epinephrine Prolong the Duration of Spinal Anesthesia for Repeat Cesarean Section?
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the addition of a medication called
epinephrine to spinal medications prolongs the duration of the anesthesia. The medication
standardly used in spinal anesthesia is a local anesthetic (bupivacaine) and an opiate pain
medication (morphine). These medications typically last about 2 hours. The investigators want
to determine if adding epinephrine to the spinal medications prolongs the anesthetic without
side effects. A longer duration of anesthesia may be useful in prolonged repeat cesarean
section. Epinephrine is known to prolong the action of some local anesthetics, but the
investigators want to specifically study combining it with the medications the investigators
use regularly for cesarean section.
You may qualify to take part in this research study because you are having a repeat cesarean
section. Repeat cesarean sections sometimes last longer than 2 hours. The investigators want
to determine if epinephrine will prolong the anesthetic.
