Machine learning approach to predict postoperative opioid requirements in ambulatory surgery patients.

PloS one
Opioids play a critical role in acute postoperative pain management. Our objective was to develop machine learning models to predict postoperative opioid requirements in patients undergoing ambulatory surgery. To develop the models, we used a periope...

Predictors of emergency department opioid administration and prescribing: A machine learning approach.

The American journal of emergency medicine
INTRODUCTION: The opioid epidemic has altered normative clinical perceptions on addressing both acute and chronic pain, particularly within the Emergency Department (ED) setting, where providers are now confronted with balancing pain management and p...

Socially-Assistive Robots Using Empathy to Reduce Pain and Distress during Peripheral IV Placement in Children.

Pain research & management
OBJECTIVES: Socially-assistive robots (SAR) have been used to reduce pain and distress in children in medical settings. Patients who perceive empathic treatment have increased satisfaction and improved outcomes. We sought to determine if an empathic ...

How people with dementia perceive a therapeutic robot called PARO in relation to their pain and mood: A qualitative study.

Journal of clinical nursing
BACKGROUND: Interacting with social robots, such as the robotic seal PARO, has been shown to improve mood and acute pain for people with dementia. Little attention has been paid to the effect of PARO on people with dementia and chronic pain.

Response to repeat echoendoscopic celiac plexus neurolysis in pancreatic cancer patients: A machine learning approach.

Pancreatology : official journal of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP) ... [et al.]
BACKGROUND: /Objectives: Efficacy of repeat echoendoscopic celiac plexus neurolysis is still unclear. Aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of repeat celiac plexus neurolysis and to build an artificial neural network model able to predict pain ...

Predicting inadequate postoperative pain management in depressed patients: A machine learning approach.

PloS one
Widely-prescribed prodrug opioids (e.g., hydrocodone) require conversion by liver enzyme CYP-2D6 to exert their analgesic effects. The most commonly prescribed antidepressant, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), inhibits CYP-2D6 activity...

Local Infiltration Analgesia With Liposomal Bupivacaine Improves Early Outcomes After Total Knee Arthroplasty: 24-Hour Data From the PILLAR Study.

The Journal of arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: Enhanced postoperative care pathways have shifted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to outpatient and short-stay settings, placing greater emphasis on predischarge outcomes. In this study, we report prespecified secondary and tertiary end poi...

Study protocol for a randomised controlled trial of humanoid robot-based distraction for venipuncture pain in children.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: Intravenous insertion (IVI) is a very common procedure in the emergency department (ED). IVI is often painful and stressful for both children and their families. Currently, distraction therapy is not used as a standard of care for IVI i...

Use of Topical Lidocaine Gel Plus Paracervical Blockade vs. Paracervical Blockade Alone for Pain Management During Manual Vacuum Aspiration: ADouble-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial.

Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology Canada : JOGC = Journal d'obstetrique et gynecologie du Canada : JOGC
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate if the use of lidocaine gel applied to the cervix prior to manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) in addition to paracervical blockade is useful in reducing the level of pain associated with the procedure.
