Fentanyl Intranasal for Retinopathy of Prematurity Screening in Preterm Infants

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether intranasal fentanyl (a pain medicine given as a nasal spray) can reduce pain and is safe to use during routine eye examinations for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in preterm infants. ROP is an eye condition that can affect babies born too early and requires regular eye examinations. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does intranasal fentanyl lower pain during ROP screening? Is intranasal fentanyl safe for preterm infants? Researchers will compare intranasal fentanyl with a placebo (a saltwater spray that contains no medicine) to determine whether the medicine lowers pain during ROP screening. Participants will receive either intranasal fentanyl or placebo before their routine ROP eye examination, in addition to the standard comfort measures normally used during the procedure. Researchers will measure participants' pain and monitor their heart rate, oxygen levels, and any side effects during and after the examination.

Dexmedetomidine and Propofol for Sedation in Cataract Surgery.

The goal of this prospective, randomized, single-blinded is to learn if there is an ideal sedation protocol in cataract surgery in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the combination of Dexmedetomidine and Propofol affect significantly Ramsay sedation scale, compared to Dexmedetomidine and compared to Propofol? * How does each sedation protocol affect hemodynamics? (Heart rate and blood pressure) * Are respiratory events more common in a certain group? * Is the surgeon's satisfaction similar among groups? * Are adverse effects (bradycardia, hypotension, nausea) more common in a certain group? Researchers will compare 3 sedation protocols : Dexmedetomidine versus Propofol versus the combination of these 2 drugs and to see if one protocol is overall superior to the others. Fentanyl will also be used in all 3 sedation protocols. Participants will : * Receive one of these three protocols * Be operated for one or both eyes * Monitored during the whole surgery and in the recovery room * Be evaluated by the Ramsay sedation scale by a trained Anesthesiologist or CRNA during surgery and in the recovery room Surgeons will be asked about how much they were satisfied.

Ketamine-lidocaine Versus Ketamine-fentanyl for Induction of Anesthesia in Patients With Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction Undergoing Elective Coronary Artery Bypass

This study compares ketamine/fentanyl versus ketamine/lidocaine in term of their impact on cerebral perfusion during CABG. No prior data address these effects, and the goal is to identify the induction regimen that better preserves cerebral oxygenation.

Comparing Outpatient Treatment Retention Among Individuals Using Fentanyl Randomized to Low-dose and Direct-to-inject Buprenorphine Initiation

The goal of this pragmatic randomized controlled trial is to compare treatment outcomes of two strategies for initiating buprenorphine treatment (low-dose initiation and direct-to-inject) in adults with opioid use disorder (OUD) who use fentanyl. This study aims to: 1. Compare effectiveness of each strategy on treatment retention in a real world, clinical setting, and 2. Assess differences between strategies in patient-reported outcomes, including withdrawal symptoms, cravings, drug use, treatment satisfaction, and overall acceptability. Participants will: 1. Be randomized to initiate buprenorphine via a low-dose initiation or direct-to-inject protocol at an outpatient buprenorphine clinic, 2. Keep a diary of craving and withdrawal symptoms for the first 7 days after initiation, and 3. Visit the outpatient clinic 7, 30, and 90 days after initiation for urinary drug screen and follow-up surveys.

Fentanyl Versus Opioid Free Multimodal Analgesia for Perioperative Pain Control in Children With Mild to Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Emphasize that the usage of multimodal analgesia in managing perioperative pain in children with mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea undergoing adenotonsillectomy may achieve the same efficacy of fentanyl with less respiratory complications and less opioid-related side effects.

D-FAB-POUR Trial: Dexmedetomidine vs Fentanyl as Adjuvants to Bupivacaine on Postoperative Urinary Retention

This study aims to compare two medications, dexmedetomidine and fentanyl, when used alongside a commonly used spinal anesthetic called bupivacaine in patients undergoing lower limb surgery. The main focus of the study is to see which combination causes fewer problems with urination after surgery - a condition known as postoperative urinary retention (POUR). POUR can lead to discomfort, delayed recovery, and a need for catheterization. Dexmedetomidine is a newer drug that may help reduce this problem compared to fentanyl, which is more commonly used but may increase the risk of urinary retention. This trial will help determine which medication combination provides better pain relief while reducing urinary side effects. The study is being conducted as a randomized, double-blind trial at a hospital in Nepal and will include 190 adult patients. \-

Fentanyl or Esketamine for Traumatic PAIN (FORE-PAIN) Trial

Fentanyl and esketamine are both standard of care for treatment of acute severe traumatic pain in the prehospital setting in the Netherlands. However, it is not known whether they are equally effective and safe. It is also not known whether intranasal (IN) administration of fentanyl or esketamine is equally effective and safe as intravenous (IV) administration. The FORE-PAIN trial is a double-blind multi-arm randomized non-inferiority trial comparing Fentanyl IN, esketamine IV and esketamine IN (intervention arms) to fentanyl IV (comparator arm) for prehospital management of traumatic pain. The investigators hypothesize that all intervention arms provide analgesia that is non-inferior to the comparator arm, and that all study arms are equally safe.

Comparative Study Between Intrathecal Magnesium Sulfate, Neostigmine and Fentanyl as Adjuvant for Bubivacaine in Postoperative Analgesia in Lower Abdominal Surgeries

Lower abdominal surgeries often result in severe pain, which in turn can cause rapid and shallow breathing, retention of secretions and poor patient compliance. Justifiably, apart from the fear for the surgery outcome, patients are concerned mainly with postoperative pain. If treated inadequately, acute pain can have serious consequences for patient health mainly with postoperative complications, prolonged recovery and increased length of hospital stay. Higher levels of postoperative pain and pain distress are associated with increased morbidity, poorer functional recovery, and reduced quality of life. Aim of the study To compare the duration, quality of analgesia, and side effects between intrathecal Magnesium sulfate, neostigmine and fentanyl as adjuvant for bubivacaine as postoperative analgesia in lower abdominal surgeries
