Abstract

Introduction/Main Objectives: This paper examines declining patient visits in private clinics in Central Kalimantan, focusing on XYZ Clinic, which relies solely on out-of-pocket payments. Despite surviving the COVID-19 crisis, the clinic saw a sharp decrease in visits in 2023, highlighting the need to understand patient loyalty drivers. Background Problems: The main issue addressed in this study is the sustainability of private healthcare services, specifically examining the influence of price fairness, Clinic Image, and communication on patients’ revisit intention, with experiential satisfaction acting as a mediating factor. Novelty: This study integrates communication, price fairness, and Clinic Image in a single model with satisfaction as a mediator, an approach not widely explored in Indonesian private clinic contexts. Research Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative design was used. Data were gathered via structured questionnaires from 162 XYZ Clinic patients and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Advanced analytics were also performed. Finding/Results: Price fairness and communication significantly affect experiential satisfaction, with communication being the strongest factor. Both fairness and satisfaction influence revisit intention, while Clinic Image has no significant effect. Conclusion: The findings suggest that private clinics should focus on transparent communication and fair pricing to enhance patient loyalty, rather than relying solely on image-building strategies.

Abstract

Background: Postoperative pain remains one of the most common and distressing complaints following tonsillectomy in children. Among the various strategies explored, regional anesthesia techniques have gained attention for their ability to provide targeted analgesia with minimal systemic side effects. Our objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of ropivacaine and dexamethasone in controlling postoperative pain in children undergoing tonsillectomy, with a focus on its potential to improve recovery outcomes and patient satisfaction.Case: This case involved an 8-year-old male patient who exhibited classic symptoms of OSA, who underwent tonsillectomy procedure. In the anesthetic management, the patient received premedication with midazolam, ondansetron, and intravenous paracetamol. Induction was achieved using propofol, fentanyl, and atracurium, while anesthesia maintenance was provided with Sevoflurane. Prior to extubation, bilateral injections of ropivacaine and dexamethasone were administered in the peritonsillar fossae. Postoperative pain assessments indicated mild pain, with no occurrence of nausea or vomiting. The patient was discharged one day after surgery with manageable pain.Discussion: This case highlights the potential benefit of pre-extubation peritonsillar infiltration with 0.2% ropivacaine (3 mL) and dexamethasone for postoperative pain control. This multimodal, opioid-sparing approach may reduce central sensitization, minimize opioid-related adverse effects, and improve postoperative recovery. Although recent evidence suggests ropivacaine provides superior analgesia at 24 hours compared with bupivacaine, variability in pain timing underscores the need for further research on optimal administration strategies.Conclusion: This case highlights the effectiveness of ropivacaine and dexamethasone in controlling postoperative pain in children.
