Abstract

Purpose

In this study we assessed the clinical efficacy of sub-mucosal injection of ketamine at sub-anesthetic dose of 0.5 mg/kg on post-operative pain, swelling and trismus following surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars.

Methods

Forty bilaterally symmetrical impacted mandibular third molars in 20 patients who required surgical removal were included in the study. Within the same individual, one of the sites received a test medication whereas the other site was used as control. All patients received nerve blocks with local anesthetic (2 % lignocaine hydrochloride with 1:80,000 adrenaline); the Test group received sub-mucosal infiltration of 0.5 mg/kg of ketamine hydrochloride (without preservative) around the impacted mandibular third molar and along the incision line, while the Placebo group received normal saline infiltration, 10 min before placement of the incision.

Results

The pain scores on VAS at 30 min, 1, 4, 12 h and 1 day post-operatively was significantly lower in the Test group than in the Placebo group (p < .05). With respect to facial swelling and mouth opening the Test group and Placebo group showed overall no statistically significant difference (p > .05) on the 1st, 3rd and 7th post-operative days.

Conclusion

The sub-mucosal injection of 0.5 mg/kg ketamine administered before surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars was found to be effective in significantly reducing post-operative pain for the first 24 h.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
