44 patients, uindergoing radical cystectomy, aging 18-85 will be recruited based on a power calculation. The 44 patients will be divided in 2 groups, the intervention group receiving a quadratus lumborum block (75mg ropivacaine) and the no intervention group receiving the current standard care of our hospital -an epidural. The ...

Monitoring depth of anaesthesia using spectral entropy (SE) and quality of neuromuscular block are routine in modern anaesthesia, whereas monitoring of analgesia still requires further studies. Recently, the Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) was added as a surrogate variable showing the nociception-antinociception balance into abovementioned parameters constituting a novel approach in ...

Main of these operations are laparoscopic. Epidural analgesia is considered as most effective for the treatment of postoperative pain ...

In order to provide pain patients with an individualized approach to their pain problem after MIRP we developed an electronic medical record coupled to a set of telemetric medical-grade devices. Appi@Home (Antwerp Personalized Pain Initiative) supports an innovative approach to (sub)acute conditions by offering a platform for continuous follow-up. Patients ...
