<p><strong>Background:</strong>  Pain is the most common complaint in the immediate post-tonsillectomy period. Inadequate post-tonsillectomy pain management has many drawbacks. Ropivacaine is a new long acting local anaesthetic, structurally closely related to bupivacaine.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>It was a prospective double blinded randomized control trial on a total of 50 patients who were posted for tonsillectomy. Randomization of each patient was done into two groups one of which had received 4 ml of 0.5% ropivacaine hydrochloride solution and other 4 ml normal saline. Data entry and analysis was done with (SPSS IBM) version 21.0. Both univariate and bivariate analysis done. Proportions were calculated for qualitative variables and mean with standard deviation was done for quantitative variables. Required tests of significance such as Chi square test and independent test were applied. Significance of p value is taken as p&lt;0.05. Postoperative pain, first post op oral intake, duration of post-operative hospital stay, and postoperative haemorrhage was assessed. The intensity of postoperative pain was assessed on behavioural observational pain Scale and Wong baker faces pain rating scale.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> Pre-incisional infiltration of 0.5% Ropivacaine was an effective method to reduce post-operative pain in patients undergoing tonsillectomy under GA. Effect of  Ropivacaine was statistically significant (p&lt;0.05).</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> We recommend the use of 0.5% ropivacaine pre-incisional infiltration in patients undergoing tonsillectomy.</p>

Background: Postoperative pain creates complications by increasing circulating level of catecholamines and systemic vascular resistance, thus putting the patients on increased risks of having stroke and myocardial infarction. In addition, it increases hospital stay, causing burden over economic as well as healthcare infrastructure. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of pain in the postoperative period while using Pregabalin as pre-medication among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Material and Methods: The randomized control trail was conducted at Department of Anesthesiology, Holy Family hospital, Rawalpindi from 1st Sept 2015 to 28th Feb 2016 over a period of 6 months. A total of 200 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided in group A and B by consecutive non-probability lottery method. Group A received 100 mg oral Pregabalin 1 hour before surgery and Group B were not given Pregabalin and were taken as controls. Post-operative pain was measured by visual analog scale (VAS) in terms of pain scores at 4 hours postoperatively after the arrival of patient in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). SPSS version 17.0 was used to analyze the data.Results: A total of 200 patients were included in the study. There were 100 patients in each group. Based on the visual analog pain scores, 9 patients were pain free in group A compared with none in group B. Similarly, there were 55 patients in group A, who reported a pain score of 1 whereas no patient in group B had a VAS score of 1. There were 29 patients in group A and only 3 patients in group B with VAS score of 2 (90.6% vs. 9.4%). For VAS score of 3, there were 6 patients in group A and 34 patients from group B (15% vs. 85%). For a VAS score of 4, there were 1 patient in group A and 61 patients in group B (1.6% vs. 98.4%). Two patients in group B experienced a VAS score of 5. All this data was significant with chi square p value of 0.0001.Conclusion: Oral Pregabalin administered prior to laparoscopic cholecystectomy was effective in reducing postoperative pain in the patients. Further studies are needed for post-operative evaluation of side effects, different dosing schedules at different time intervals for both rest and dynamic pain.

Objective: The sub hepatic drain is often placed after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered to affect post operative infection, pain and sub hepatic collections. The objective of this study was to compare the degree of postoperative pain in patients with routine drainage with those without it after elective, uncomplicated laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: This randomized control trial (RCT) was done over six months from 9th June 2015 to 8th December 2015 at Military Hospital Rawalpindi. Sample calculated with WHO calculator and consecutive non probability random sampling used to divide 170 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in two groups. One group had routine sub hepatic drain and other didn’t. Degree of postoperative pain was assessed according to VISUAL ANALOGUE SCALE by duty doctor at 24 hours. Data was collected and analyzed applying chi square test and p value was <0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: Our results demonstrated that intensity of post operative pain in routine drainage group is higher as compared to non drainage group after elective, uncomplicated laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Conclusion: Routine placement of sub hepatic drain in elective uncomplicated laparoscopic cholecystectomy should be avoided to reduce post-operative pain. How to cite this:Nadeem F, Khan MR, Naz FU.

Aromatherapy can be used to reduce post-sectio caesaria (SC) pain. In this study, the aromatherapy used was orange essential oil. This quasi-experimental study used a pre and posttest design with control group. The sample of the study was 74 mothers with 24 hours post-SC. The treatment group was the mothers who were given orange essential oil aromatherapy (37 people), while the control group was those who were not given (37 people). Sampling technique used consecutive sampling. Data collection about the characteristics of the respondents was done using a questionnaire, while the measurement of pain was carried out using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) observation sheet. The analysis consisted of bivariate analysis with Wilcoxon test. There was a decrease in the pain scale in the treatment group after being given aromatherapy essential oil orange from 4.14 ± 1.669 to 2.59 ± 1.334 (p-value = 0.000). In the control group, the change was from 2.86 ± 0.419 to 2.78 ± 0.479 (p-value = 0.373). This meant that the treatment group showed higher reduced pain than the control group. Therefore, orange essential oil aromatherapy was effective in reducing pain scale 24 hours post-SC.

Abstract Delirium is a serious and potentially life-threatening problem, but it remains clinically under-recognized. Various factors contribute to this under-recognition, including limited understanding of delirium, insufficient training and application of delirium assessments, potential stigma for the patient and increased workload for the clinician. As a part of an NIH funded study testing a rapid two-step delirium identification protocol at two hospitals in the U.S. (one urban and one rural), clinicians completed a 12-item survey to assess their knowledge and attitudes about delirium and their confidence in preventing and managing delirium. Survey response options followed a 5-point rating scale (strongly disagree, disagree, undecided, agree, strongly agree). The sample for this analysis included 399 clinicians (MDs=53; RNs=235; CNAs=111). Chi-square was used to test for group differences between clinician types. Less than half of the clinicians reported agreeing with the statement, “delirium is largely preventable” (MDs: 47%; RN: 44%; CNA: 41%, p-value=0.021). MDs and RNs indicated a high level of confidence in recognizing delirium while CNAs endorsed lower levels of confidence (MDs: 87%; RN: 81%; CNA: 65%, p-value=0.001). All types of clinicians reported lower confidence in managing delirium (MDs: 29%; RN: 36%; CNA: 44%, p-value=0.117). 47% of CNAs and 37% of RNs agreed there is a need for additional training in caring for persons with delirium while only 21% of MDs agreed (p = 0.031). Understanding how different types of clinicians think and feel about delirium will inform training and communication initiatives, clinical implementation, and research on best practices for delirium identification and management.

Background: There is evidence regarding beneficial use of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) on post Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS) incision pain. However, efficacy of different types of TENS following C section pain has not yet been explored adequately.Methods: 96 women who had recently undergone LSCS were included for the study. The subjects were in the age group of 20 to 40 years (25.84±3.96); having pain intensity 4 or more on Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). They were divided into three groups by random allocation method; namely Group A: Acupuncture (Low/Motor) TENS, Group B: Conventional (High/Sensory) TENS and Group C: Control group. Group A and B received specific type of TENS twice a day for 15 minutes. Control group C did not receive any TENS intervention. All subjects received standard post-operative medications and physiotherapy. Pain intensity was recorded on NPRS pre and post intervention.Results: Both Acupuncture TENS and Conventional TENS significantly decreased post-operative pain intensity as compared to control group (p value <0.0001).Conclusions: Both, acupuncture and conventional TENS are equally effective in reducing post LSCS incision pain at a strong and non-painful intensity.
