LAWRENCE, Kan., Oct. 14, 2022  /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Anesthesia Progress – Stress and anxiety often accompany oral and maxillofacial surgery, but the common side effect of a postoperative sore throat from intubation increases patient complications. The intubation process can occur via direct laryngoscopy, video laryngoscopy, or nasotracheal intubation procedures. Each intubation type has risk factors, but the common occurrence of a resulting sore throat has not been widely reviewed during nasotracheal intubation.

Key Points: 
  • Each intubation type has risk factors, but the common occurrence of a resulting sore throat has not been widely reviewed during nasotracheal intubation.
  • To determine the highest risk factors for postoperative sore throat in nasotracheal intubation, researchers from the Kyushu University Hospital and Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan, recently published a retrospective study in the current issue of Anesthesia Progress.
  • Results of this retrospective analysis showed that postoperative sore throat occurred in 74.6% of patients who underwent nasotracheal intubation for oral or maxillofacial surgery.

Wednesday, July 27, 2022

LAWRENCE, Kan., July 27, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Anesthesia Progress – As the use of pain management through prescription opioids continues to be a highly debated topic as it relates to developing a substance use disorder, clinicians are looking for less addictive options. Oral acetaminophen use for pain management has been widely accepted as part of a standard medication therapy in postoperative patients; however, the use of intravenous acetaminophen has yet to be thoroughly explored.

Key Points: 
  • Oral acetaminophen use for pain management has been widely accepted as part of a standard medication therapy in postoperative patients; however, the use of intravenous acetaminophen has yet to be thoroughly explored.
  • This trial sought to examine the timing of administration of IV acetaminophen to reach peak effectiveness for pain management in postoperative patients.
  • The American Society of Anesthesiologists guidelines state that "ASA members agree and the consultants strongly agree that acetaminophen should be considered as part of a postoperative multimodal pain management regimen," yet the use IV acetaminophen has not been thoroughly explored.
  • This research shows that the pain-relieving effect of IV administration begins approximately 90 minutes after and up to 5 hours post acetaminophen infusion, indicating that under the proper time constraints IV acetaminophen can assist in proper pain management of postoperative patients.

LAWRENCE, Kan., April 7, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Anesthesia Progress – Local anesthetics are paramount for pain management during dental procedures. Typically, these anesthetics are administered via injection; however, many patients suffer from trypanophobia, or the fear of needles during a medical procedure, which leads to those patients not receiving the dental care they need, consequently negatively impacting both their oral and overall whole-body health.

Key Points: 
  • LAWRENCE, Kan., April 7, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Anesthesia Progress Local anesthetics are paramount for pain management during dental procedures.
  • Most participants preferred the traditional injection anesthetic versus the nasal spray; there was no difference in preference between the LE and MP groups.
  • Although the results of this study did not show the use of KNS to be more well-received than that of traditional injection anesthesia, Thayer concludes by saying, "the findings provided data regarding the preference of traditional local anesthetics due to complications following Kovanaze administration.

This can lead to missed opportunities to properly manage pain and prolong that pain in pediatric patients.

Key Points: 
  • This can lead to missed opportunities to properly manage pain and prolong that pain in pediatric patients.
  • The results of this study suggest that the use of intrapapillary LA infiltrations combined with IV pain medication reduces pain after dental procedures in pediatric patients.
  • conclude, "Local anesthetic intrapapillary infiltrations around SSCs decrease the overall pain occurrence but not the moderate/severe pain occurrence following dental treatment under GA in pediatric patients."
