Comparison of preincisional and postincisional parasternal intercostal block on postoperative pain in cardiac surgery.
The optimum cardiac surgical pain management has known to maintain hemodynamic stability and, reduces respiratory and cardiovascular complications. Postoperative parasternal intercostal block has shown to reduce postoperative analgesic consumption after cardiac surgery. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the effectiveness of the preoperative ultrasound guided parasternal block in reducing postoperative pain after cardiac surgery. ⋯ Preoperative and postoperative parasternal intercostal block provide comparable pain relief during the postoperative period.

Observational StudyPatient perspectives on interventional pain management: thematic analysis of a qualitative interview study.
Chronic pain is a widespread problem that is usually approached by focusing on its psychological aspects or on trying to reduce the pain from the pain generator. Patients report that they feel responsible for their pain and that they are disempowered and stigmatized because of it. Here, we explored interventional pain management from the patient's perspective to understand the process better. ⋯ Many of the themes evolved in relation to the subjects' contact with the healthcare services they received, but when the themes were merged and structured into the model, a cohesive pattern of empowerment appeared. If empowerment is a major factor in the positive effects of interventional pain management, it is important to facilitate and not hinder empowerment.
