However, adequate relaxation facilitates major surgery and it is important to be able to predict when it is safe to use muscle paralysis. The medical notes of patients who had undergone resection of AMM were studied to look for complications developed due to PPV. The clinical features, lung functions, echocardiography and computed tomography (CT) findings were recorded to see if any of them could predict adverse events.","PeriodicalId":93016,"journal":{"name":"Journal of anesthetic research and pain medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45982794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Acute and chronic pain over time, perioperative oral morphine milligram equivalent (MME) consumption and patient satisfaction were measured. A protracted enrollment period and participant attrition precluded target enrollment and subsequent power analysis. Further, there was no increased efficacy of the intervention groups over the control group. In fact, the patient-controlled analgesia only group (control) had lower mean and median MME consumption postoperatively. Pain and patient satisfaction scores were similar among all treatment groups at all time points assessed. We characterize our study population, report our results for each treatment group and highlight challenges encountered and lessons learned to aid in the development of future research.</p>","PeriodicalId":93016,"journal":{"name":"Journal of anesthetic research and pain medicine","volume":"2 1","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7272033/pdf/nihms-1579262.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38013946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
