Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia01:29

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

1.0K
Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...

Analgesia and Pain Management

3.3K
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

Parenteral Anesthetics: Overview01:24

Parenteral Anesthetics: Overview

995
Intravenous anesthetics are drugs administered parenterally to induce anesthesia or sedation. Propofol is a widely used agent formulated as a 1% emulsion in soybean oil, glycerol, and egg phosphatide. It induces rapid anesthesia primarily due to its rapid distribution from the bloodstream to target tissues and is metabolized in the liver. However, it can cause significant pain on injection and hypertriglyceridemia. Fospropofol, a water-based prodrug of propofol, lacks these adverse effects.

Nociception01:44

Nociception

28.3K
Nociception—the ability to feel pain—is essential for an organism’s survival and overall well-being. Noxious stimuli such as piercing pain from a sharp object, heat from an open flame, or contact with corrosive chemicals are first detected by sensory receptors, called nociceptors, located on nerve endings. Nociceptors express ion channels that convert noxious stimuli into electrical signals. When these signals reach the brain via sensory neurons, they are perceived as pain.

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia

2.0K
Spinal anesthetics are given during lower abdomen and limb surgeries to block sensory and motor neurons. They are administered in the mid to low lumbar regions, primarily acting on the cauda equina's nerve roots. The blockade level depends on the local anesthetic (LA) concentration. Usually, low LA concentrations are sufficient to block sensory fibers, while only high LA concentrations block motor fibers. Other factors like injection volume and speed, the patient's posture, and the drug...

Summary

Nurses in Bandar Abbas hospitals demonstrated poor performance in neonatal pain management despite positive attitudes. Enhancing nurses

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal care
  • Nursing education
  • Pain management

Background:

  • Effective pain management in neonates is crucial for optimal outcomes.
  • Assessing and addressing neonatal pain requires specific nursing knowledge and skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate nurses' knowledge, attitude, and performance regarding neonatal pain management.
  • To identify areas for improvement in nursing practices in neonatal units.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive and analytical study was conducted with 50 nurses and nurse assistants.
  • Data was collected using a structured questionnaire assessing knowledge, attitude, and practices.
  • Statistical analyses included descriptive and inferential tests.

Main Results:

  • Nurses achieved an average knowledge score of 48.2% and a practice score of 42.2%.
  • The mean attitude score was 54.22 out of 60, indicating a generally positive attitude.
  • Higher education levels correlated significantly with increased nursing knowledge.

Conclusions:

  • Nurses exhibited poor performance in assessing, measuring, and relieving neonatal pain.
  • Despite performance gaps, nurses maintained positive attitudes toward neonatal pain control.
  • Findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to improve neonatal pain management practices.
