112 patients undergoing elective knee arthroscopy will randomly divided into two equal groups, 56 patients each. All patients will receive premedication one hour before the procedure. PG group will receive 150 mg pregabalin and C group will receive placebo. All patients will receive total

Analgesia is the main point for each patient postoperatively. It is important to provide good analgesia with less hazardous (1). Cesarean section is a painful operation in need for adequate postoperative analgesia (1). Adequate pain management is important to facilitate the functional recovery and

Background and scientific rationale Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an inflammatory condition of the paranasal sinuses affecting millions of patients, resulting in billions of dollars being spent annually in associated health care costs. Biofilm has been implicated in chronic rhinosinusitis

Introduction Minor head injury is a serious public health problem. It is defined as a history of loss of consciousness, amnesia, or disorientation and a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 13-15 [1]. Patients with minor head injury are frequently encountered in the emergency department and the

Distal Forearm fractures are often are displaced requiring conscious sedation for closed reduction in the Emergency Department. Our institution's current standard of care consists of IN Fentanyl for baseline control of pain, and for those fractures requiring reduction; typically IV Ketamine is

Concussion Syndrome (CS) and TBI are common injuries producing temporary and long-term damage to impact brain function. Symptoms are sometimes transient, sometimes long-term depending on severity and/or repetitive damage. Signs varying from recurrent headaches, mental fog, emotional changes to

Aims of this registry study are documentation of the characteristics of all patients with an indication for a flexible bronchoscopy who are attended at the University Hospital Aachen (UKA) to obtain new knowledge concerning safety and patient comfort using different medications for

A Prospective Randomized Comparative Study to Evaluate the Use of Remifentanil as a Sole Agent or in Combination with Midazolam Versus Fentanyl/Midazolam during Sedation for Colonoscopy. Background: Audits of patient experiences and studies on quality improvement for colonoscopy have shown that

Ketamine is a noncompetitive N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist that blocks the release of excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate and provides anesthesia, amnesia and analgesia by virtue of decreasing central sensitization and "wind-up" phenomenon. At low (sub-dissociative, analgesics)

1.0 Background While atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia requiring therapy, it is also associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, dementia, and death. The number of Americans affected with AF is expected to surge to nearly 16

The role of anxiolytic premedication in the ambulatory surgical population is frequently debated. Anesthesiologists may consider the administration of anxiety-reducing drugs unnecessary when anxiety levels are low in outpatients presenting for minor surgery. However, the previous study reports that

Rationale: Opioids are traditionally accepted as a cornerstone of acute pain management in the Emergency Department (ED). Morphine is one of the most commonly used parenteral opioid analgesics whose initial dose of 0.1 mg/kg has been extensively researched and recommended for control of severe acute

During fracture reduction in children, the investigators found less distress using ketamine+midazolam (K/M) sedation (P<0.0001) and less hypoxia (5% vs. 25%) compared to sedation with fentanyl+midazolam (F/M)(1). Others also found less hypoxia with K/M (4%) compared to propofol+fentanyl (P/F)

The administration of sedation with target controlled infusion (TCI) systems could offer a safe alternative for the management of discomfort of patients undergoing endoscopic gastrointestinal procedures. However, what medication from those available for TCI would be the most appropriate is not
