Itching

This project aims to create a reliable, long-lasting itch model by synergistically combining thermal pre-conditioning with the application of histamine or cowhage.

Prevention of postoperative pain is essential for the recovery of esophageal surgery. Epidural analgesia is a traditional and standard perioperative pain management for these patients. Beneficials of epidural analgesia have been widely established. However, there are still several potential disadvantages such as perioperative hypotension, failure of administration, rare but serious neurological complications. Ultrasound-guided regional nerve block has become a widely used technique due to its low degree of trauma and precise target of action. In combined with liposome bupivacaine (LB), a new long-acting local anesthetic, was proven to have a maximum duration of 72 hours, thus improving postoperative analgesia, reducing opioid consumption, and enhancing patient satisfaction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of TPVB liposomal bupivacaine (LB) or plane bupivacaine (SB) for Overall Benefit of Analgesic Score (OBAS) after esophageal surgery.

Pain, itching, hypertrophic scar formation after wound healing in burn patients complications, sleep disturbances in patients, anxiety, depression, and daily life It may disrupt activities and deterioration in quality of life. Liquid petroleum jelly and olive oil have no side effects, moisturizing properties, or wound-healing treatment of burns due to their positive effects on symptoms such as itching. can be used to alleviate burns. The project found the use of liquid petroleum jelly and olive oil to determine the effect on itching and scarring in burn patients. After burns reduction of symptoms such as itching, dryness, hypertrophic scarring, and patient comfort. Provision of care is a part of nursing care. In studies, itching and scarring there is insufficient evidence regarding the treatment methods applied for its treatment is observed. In addition, the effect of olive oil and liquid petroleum jelly on itching and scarring no scientific study was found. The results of the project were found to be significant in terms of post-burn itching providing evidence of hypertrophic scar management and contributing to ongoing studies is expected to be found. Since there are no similar studies in the literature, a preliminary study with 24 patient applications will be made. In line with the data obtained from the pre-application, the sample calculation will be made and the application will continue by making the necessary arrangements. Patients will be divided into experimental and control groups by simple randomization. All patient groups individual data collection forms on the first day; 12 individual data collection forms on the first day, 15th day, first, second, and third months Itemized Itch Severity Scale, Patient and Observer Scar Scale to be applied in Burn Patients and the wound area will be photographed. Patients in the control group will be given no application will be made. Liquid petroleum jelly and olive oil group before the study training will be given and they will massage the recommended product twice a day for 3 months and will be asked to record them. The data obtained at the end of the project will be statistically analyzed and results will be presented.
