Analgesia and Pain Management01:25

Analgesia and Pain Management

1.1K
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...

Nociception01:44

Nociception

32.0K
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: Common Agents and Their Applications01:23

Local Anesthetics: Common Agents and Their Applications

682
Local anesthetics (LAs) are commonly used for various applications in medical and dental procedures. Some of the common agents used are cocaine, lidocaine, and bupivacaine.
Cocaine is an ester of benzoic acid and methylecgogine. It is used to anesthetize and vasoconstrict locally. Currently, it is used primarily for topical applications. It is beneficial for surgeries on the upper respiratory tract, providing anesthesia and shrinking the mucosa. Cocaine in the form of cocaine hydrochloride is...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia01:29

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

577
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pain Management
  • Oncology

Background:

  • The aging population is experiencing a rise in skin cancer incidence, particularly nonmelanoma skin cancer.
  • This demographic shift leads to an increased number of dermatologic procedures being performed.
  • Managing pain and anxiety associated with these procedures is a significant concern for both patients and practitioners.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and summarize current techniques for managing pain and anxiety during dermatologic procedures.
  • To provide guidance on optimizing patient comfort and safety throughout the procedural timeline.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of pain management strategies in dermatologic surgery.
  • Analysis of techniques applicable in preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative settings.
  • Synthesis of evidence for managing patient anxiety and procedural pain.

Main Results:

  • Multiple techniques exist for managing patient anxiety and pain.
  • Interventions can be effectively applied across all procedural phases: before, during, and after.
  • Successful pain management enhances patient experience and procedural outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Effective pain and anxiety management are integral to dermatologic procedures.
  • A multimodal approach, utilizing strategies from preoperative to postoperative care, is recommended.
  • Implementing these techniques ensures patient safety and satisfaction during skin cancer treatment.
