Book Description
This book presents current evidence in an Enhanced Recovery Programme context, and provides a common sense approach to using the array of available analgesia techniques appropriately in major abdominal surgery. Current pain relief options are discussed, many of which have been described only in the last ten years. Topics covered range from the now widespread use of portable ultrasound machines to an appreciation of the value of some older drugs in a new context. Analgesia for Major Abdominal Surgery is aimed at anesthetists, acute pain teams, and acute pain nurses, as well as colorectal, hepatobiliary, urological and gynecological surgeons.

Book Description
The clinical practice of anesthesia has undergone many advances in the past few years, making this the perfect time for a new state-of-the-art anesthesia textbook for practitioners and trainees. The goal of this book is to provide a modern, clinically focused textbook giving rapid access to comprehensive, succinct knowledge from experts in the field. All clinical topics of relevance to anesthesiology are organized into 29 sections consisting of more than 180 chapters. The print version contains 166 chapters that cover all of the essential clinical topics, while an additional 17 chapters on subjects of interest to the more advanced practitioner can be freely accessed at www.cambridge.org/vacanti. Newer techniques such as ultrasound nerve blocks, robotic surgery and transesophageal echocardiography are included, and numerous illustrations and tables assist the reader in rapidly assimilating key information. This authoritative text is edited by distinguished Harvard Medical School faculty, with contributors from many of the leading academic anesthesiology departments in the United States and an introduction from Dr S. R. Mallampati. This book is your essential companion when preparing for board review and recertification exams and in your daily clinical practice.

Book Description
BACKGROUND The use of loco-regional anesthesia aims at providing an adequate intra- and/or post-operative pain management for a broad spectrum of surgical interventions which historically have relayed on the use of opiod drugs. On this fashion, the aim of our study is to prove that the use of bilateral continuous subcostal TAP block, in a multimodal opiod-sparing analgesic approach, provides a successful post-operative pain management for major abdominal surgical interventions. We adopted the NRS score as a reference and u2264 6 as an acceptable response. METHODS We enrolled (16) patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. A primer infusion of 1gr paracetamol + 30 mg ketoralac was administered 30 minutes prior to the end of the intervention. Moreover, in the immediate post-operative period, via US guidance, a 20 ml bolus of 0.5% levobupivacaine was administered bilaterally. Then, a permanent catheter was placed on both sides with a 2ml/h infusion of 0.5% levobupivacaine (20 ml in 28 ml of 0.9% NaCl). RESULTS In the 30-minutes post-operative period, the NRS score was u2264 4 for all of our patients. Then u2264 3 in the 6, 12 and 24-hour post-operative period. None of our patients requested any supplementary analgesics. CONCLUSIONS The major drawback of this study is the small size of our sample. Further studies might encourage the spread of this procedure as a new gold-standard for laparoscopic interventions (e.g. right hemicolectomy and laparocele) and its non-inferiority to epidural analgesia, the current gold-standard for laparotomic surgeries (especially left hemicolectomy).

Book Description
Primum non nocere... The fact that a surgical procedure can leave any kind of pain casts a shadow over this tenet, which is seen as the basis of medical practice and anchor of its principle ethic... It is all the more surprising in that medicine has only paid attention to this paradoxical chronic pain situation for the past few years. Clarifying the knowledge acquired in this field has become all the more urgent for any care-giver today confronted by a legitimate request from patients: Why and how can a surgical procedure, which is supposed to bring relief, leave behind an unacceptable sequela? This is the approach which the contributors to this new subject of major clinical interest invite you to follow as you work your way through this book.

Book Description
With a focus on practical acute pain management in adults in the hospital setting, this book provides health professionals with simple and practical information to help them manage patients with acute pain safely and effectively. • Combines evidence-based information with practical guidelines and protocols • Covers the pharmacology of opioids, local anesthetics, and nonopioid and adjuvant analgesic agents • Discusses management of acute pain in both surgical and nonsurgical acute pain settings including in patients with spinal cord or burns injuries and selected medical illnesses • Includes evidence-based information about management of acute pain in some specific patient groups , including the older patient, opioid-tolerant patients, and those with addiction disorders, pregnant or lactating patients and patients with obstructive sleep apnea or who have renal or hepatic impairment • Considers the role of acute pain management in the context of the current opioid epidemic and identifies possible strategies to minimise the risks. This resource will be helpful to a variety of professionals in assessing and managing acute pain.

Book Description
This new edition reflects the evolution of the field including new topics for historical relevance regarding the changing attitudes towards opioid prescription and use. The book points out that the realization of liberalizing use is almost uncontrollably linked to unnecessary patient death. Similarly, the evidence is increasingly confirming that interventional pain procedures work. New evidence presents, for example, that Percutaneous Lysis of Adhesions is an effective therapeutic modality that has advantages over other options due to its cost effective nature and long term outcomes reducing the need for additional procedures including surgeries and more and more expensive medications. Awareness about the consequences of bad outcomes leads to medicolegal complications. The inevitable trigger is bad outcome which is often related to knowledge, training, experience, as well as equipment design. Some of the examples and lessons learned from the medicolegal arena may soon prevent such occurrences.
