Abstract
Background The p38 protein is a ubiquitous mitogen-activated protein kinase involved in the proinflammatory signalling pathway and in the pain response after various noxious stimuli. Many p38 inhibitors have been developed and shown to provide effective analgesia in animal models. They are, however, mainly administered intrathecally or intravenously. Our study aimed to evaluate losmapimod, a novel oral p38 inhibitor, in two murine acute pain models. Methods Losmapimod (12 mg kg-1) was compared with paracetamol, ketamine, and morphine using thermal and mechanical stimulation after carrageenan injection. A dose-effect study was also performed with this model. Behavioural testing was also performed in a plantar incision model to confirm the analgesic effect of losmapimod. Expression of activated p38 in neurones, microglia, and astrocytes was also investigated at 2, 15, and 24 h after carrageenan injection. Results Losmapimod was both antiallodynic and antihyperalgesic in the carrageenan pain model and provided an antinociceptive effect similar to that of morphine. The dose of 12 mg kg-1 was shown to be the ED78 and ED64 after thermal and mechanical stimulation, respectively. After plantar incision, losmapimod provided a significant antinociceptive effect. No life-threatening side-effect was observed in the behavioural study. Losmapimod prevented neurone and microglial activation at 2 and 15 h after carrageenan injection, respectively, but no effect was found on astrocytic activation. Conclusion Losmapimod appears to be a promising drug in severe acute pain conditions. Losmapimod could also be helpful for postoperative pain control, as suggested by its effect after plantar incision.

Abstract
Introduction Clinical outcomes and critical care utilisation associated with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in obstetric patients remain limited particularly in relation to severe cases. Methods A retrospective multicentre cohort study was conducted during the first wave of COVID-19 in France in 18 tertiary referral maternity units. Consecutive women with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 during pregnancy or the delivery hospitalisation were included between March and July 2020 (17-week period). We report clinical, obstetrical and anaesthetic outcomes of pregnant women with COVID-19 and report the prevalence of severe forms and risk factors for respiratory support in this cohort. Results There were 126 included cases; RT-PCR testing occurred in 82 cases, of which 64 (78%) had a positive test. The caesarean section rate was 52%, and preterm delivery (< 37 weeks) rate was 40%. Neuraxial anaesthesia was performed in 108 (86%) cases with an increasing proportion compared to general anaesthesia over time (p < 0.0002). Twenty-eight cases received oxygen supplementation (nasal oxygen therapy or mechanical ventilation); the SOFAresp score was associated with gestational age at the time of COVID-19 presentation (p = 0.0036) and at delivery (p < 0.0001). Postpartum intensive care unit (ICU) admission occurred in 21 cases (17%) with 17 (13%) receiving invasive or non-invasive ventilation. Pre-delivery factors associated with postpartum ventilation were oxygen support, oxygen saturation and haemoglobin levels. Conclusion In our cohort, COVID-19 was associated with significant maternal morbidity resulting in high ICU admission rates (17%) and invasive or non-invasive ventilation utilisation (10%).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Endovascular treatment in children, especially neonates, can be more challenging than analogous procedures in adults. This study aimed to describe the clinical and radiological findings, type and timing of endovascular treatment, and early outcomes in children who present with neurovascular malformations, who are treated with embolization, and who weigh less than 5 kg. METHODS The authors carried out a retrospective review of all consecutively treated children weighing less than 5 kg with neurovascular arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) at a single institution over a 10-year period. RESULTS Fifty-two patients were included in the study. Thirty-eight had a vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation, 3 a pial AVM, 6 a pial arteriovenous fistula, and 5 a dural sinus malformation. The endovascular treatment goals were control of cardiac failure or hydrocephalus in cases of nonhemorrhagic malformations or to prevent new bleeding in cases of previous hemorrhage. A hemorrhagic complication occurred in 12 procedures and an ischemic complication in 2. Both complication types were correlated with the age of the infant (age cutoff at 3 months) (p = of 0.015 and 0.049, respectively). No correlation was found with the weight of the infant or the duration of the procedure. CONCLUSIONS The embolization of AVMs in these patients prevented adverse cardiac effects, hydrovenous disorders, and rebleeding. The risk of major cerebral complications seems mainly correlated with age, with a threshold at 3 months. A multidisciplinary team involved in the treatment of these children may help to improve treatment success and management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A comparison of the effective dose in 50% of patients (ED50) has suggested that the potency of levobupivacaine lies between that of bupivacaine and ropivacaine. However, for clinical purposes, knowledge and use of doses close to the ED95 are more relevant. This study was designed to determine the EC80 (effective concentration) for both epidural levobupivacaine and ropivacaine using the Continual Reassessment Method (CRM) during obstetric analgesia. METHODS In this double-blind randomised study, term parturients were included by cohorts of 6 if cervical dilatation was≤5cm and visual analogue pain score (VAPS)>30mm. Efficacy was defined by a decrease of VAPS to a value≤10, thirty minutes after epidural injection of 20mL of levobupivacaine or ropivacaine. The first cohort received the lowest dose. Every next cohort received a dose according to the response's probability calculated using a Bayesian method, incorporating data from all consecutive previous patients. In addition, a logistic equation was fitted a posteriori to the whole data set to determine the whole dose-probability curve. RESULTS Fifty-four patients were enrolled. Levobupivacaine 0.17% and ropivacaine 0.2% gave probabilities of success of 82% and 72% respectively. By fitting the logistic model to the data, the concentration leading to a probability of 0.8 (EC80) was 0.14% for levobupivacaine and 0.24% for ropivacaine while the EC50 were 0.09% for levobupivacaine and 0.17% for ropivacaine, respectively. CONCLUSION This study suggests that epidural levobupivacaine used as the sole drug for labour analgesia has an EC80 lower than that of ropivacaine.

Abstract
Background The optimal control of blood volume without fluid overload is a main challenge in the daily care of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Accordingly this study focused on the identification of biomarkers to help characterize fluid overload status. Methods Sixty-seven patients were studied from ICU admission to day 7 (D7). Blood and urine samples were taken daily and sodium and water balance strictly calculated resulting in a total cumulative assessment of ∆Na+ and ∆H2O. Furthermore, plasmatic biomarkers (cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine, renin, angiotensin II, aldosterone, pro-endothelin, copeptine, atrial natriuretic peptide, erythropoietin, mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM)) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores were measured at D2, D5 and D7. Blood volumes were measured with 51Cr fixed on red blood cells at D2 and D7. Results The ∆Na+ or ∆H2O were increased in all patients but never related to blood volumes at D2 nor D7. Total blood volumes were at normal values with constantly low red blood cell volumes and normal or decreased plasmatic volume. Weight, plasmatic proteins, and hemoglobin were weakly related to ∆Na+ or ∆H2O. Amongst all tested biomarkers, only MR-proADM was related to sodium and fluid overload. This biomarker was also a predictor of SOFA scores. Conclusions Plasmatic concentration in MR-proADM seems to be a good surrogate for evaluation of ∆Na+ or ∆H2O and predicts sodium and extracellular fluid overload.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines recommend treatment with vitamin K in patients requiring reversal of the effect of vitamin K antagonists (VKA) before semi-urgent surgery. In clinical practice, the time for reversal of the international normalized ratio (INR) to values adequate for surgery is often reported longer than the expected 12-24 hours, which may delay surgery and increase the risk of complications. METHODS In order to optimize the management of elderly patients treated with VKA and undergoing hip fracture surgery, we aimed to model the vitamin K half-life in this specific population. Files for patients admitted between 2006 and 2008 for hip fracture surgery and chronically treated with VKA were retrospectively studied. Only patients with an INR superior to 1.5 upon arrival were included in the study. The effect of vitamin K on the decrease in INR was modelled after a PK/PD analysis using NONMEM. Thirty-one patients' files were analysed. RESULTS Despite management in accordance with guidelines, 31% of the patients had a delayed return to INR values<1.5 resulting in delayed surgery. Time to INR<1.5 was longer than 24 hours in 50% of the patients. The calculated half-life of vitamin K was 24.7 hours in this population. CONCLUSION The vitamin K half-life in elderly patients treated with VKA and undergoing hip fracture surgery was prolonged. The use of vitamin K or of a more rapid acting alternative should be discussed, depending on the urgency of the surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paracetamol is widely used to treat postoperative pain and is well known for its morphine-sparing effect. Therefore, the effect of morphine-paracetamol combination can be synergistic, additive, or infra-additive. The primary aim of our study is to define the median effective analgesic doses (ED₅₀s) of paracetamol, morphine, and the combination of both. Also, the nature of the interaction for postoperative pain after moderately painful surgery using an up-and-down method and isobolographic analysis was determined. METHODS Ninety patients, undergoing moderately painful surgery, were included in one of the three groups. Determination of the median ED₅₀s was performed by the Dixon and Mood up-and-down method. Initial doses were 1.5 g and 5 mg, with dose adjustment intervals of 0.5 g and 1 mg, in the paracetamol and morphine groups, respectively. The initial doses of paracetamol and morphine were 1.5 g and 3 mg, in the paracetamol-morphine combination group with dose adjustment intervals of 0.25 g for paracetamol and 0.5 mg for morphine. Analgesic efficacy was defined as a reduction to or <3 on a 0-10 numeric rating scale, 45 min after the beginning of drug administration. Isobolographic analysis was used to define the nature of their interaction. RESULTS The median ED₅₀s of paracetamol and morphine were 2.1 g and 5 mg, respectively. The median ED₅₀ of the combination was 1.3 g for paracetamol and 2.7 mg for morphine. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that the combination of the paracetamol and morphine produces an additive analgesic effect. Clinical trial registration NCT01366313.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Intussusception is the most frequent cause of bowel obstruction in children. Although enema is usually used as the initial treatment, surgery may be required in more than 50% of patients. General anesthesia (GA) has been suggested to increase the rate of enema success. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether GA increases the success rate of reduction by air enema. METHODS In this retrospective single-center study from 1989 to the end of June 2008, patients receiving air enema for intussusception reduction were studied. Multivariable analysis using propensity score was performed to compare the success rate between patients receiving sedation or GA. RESULTS The success rate of air enema increased from 72% in 1989 to the current rate of 90%. When time elapsed between first symptoms and enema was >12 h, the success rate decreased significantly (Odds Ratio 0.67 [0.56-0.81], P < 0.0001). When patients were matched by propensity score, GA significantly increased the likelihood of success (OR 5.66 [2.85-12.89], P = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS Air enema performed under GA allows intussusception reduction in more than 90% of patients.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy and safety of two doses of ketoprofen (200 mg vs. 300 mg/day) in ambulatory emergency patients with pain related to traumatic and nontraumatic bone and joint diseases. We tested the hypothesis that the efficacy of the lower dose was not lower than that of the higher dose in a double-blind, randomized, noninferiority trial. Patients included in the study were aged 18-65 years with closed benign trauma of the motor system or acute noninfectious rheumatologic conditions, with a resting pain intensity ≥3/10 on a numeric pain scale (NPS), requiring ketoprofen for 5 days. The main end-point was based on two efficacy co-criteria: (i) mean change from baseline of resting pain intensity at the end of the day over 5 days and (ii) total intake of concomitant analgesics. We included 409 patients: 200 in the 200-mg group and 209 in the 300-mg group. The mean change in pain intensity at rest (difference between groups: 0.0, 95% CI -0.4 to 0.4; P = 1.00) and in analgesic consumption (difference between groups: -0.6, 95% CI -1.9 to 0.6; P = 0.33) was not significantly different between the two groups, and the differences were lower than the predefined inferiority margins (0.5 and 1.5, respectively), thus demonstrating noninferiority. No significant difference was noted in the incidence of adverse events (21% vs. 20%, P = 0.71). The efficacy of the 200-mg daily dose of ketoprofen in relieving pain in emergency cases was not inferior to that of the 300-mg dose.

Abstract
Local anesthetics (LA) block propagation of impulses along nerve fibers by inactivation of voltage-gated sodium channels, which initiate action potentials (1). They act on the cytosolic side of phospholipid membranes. Two main chemical compounds are used, amino esters and amino amides. Amino esters are degraded by pseudocholinesterases in plasma. Amino amides are metabolized exclusively by the liver. Only amide LAs will be considered in this article.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ketamine and gabapentin have been shown to prevent the delayed hyperalgesia induced by short-term use of systemic opioids. The mechanism of this action is believed to be likely at the spinal level, through an antagonism of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors for ketamine, and through a specific binding site for gabapentin. In this study, we sought to determine the nature of the interaction of these 2 mechanistically distinct antihyperalgesic drugs in a model of opioid-induced hyperalgesia in rats. The median effective antihyperalgesic doses of each drug and of their combination were first defined, to assess the nature of the interaction using an isobolographic analysis. METHODS Long-lasting hyperalgesia was induced in male Sprague Dawley rats with subcutaneous fentanyl (4 injections, 60 μg/kg per injection at 15-minute intervals) resulting in a total dose of 240 μg/kg. Subcutaneous ketamine, or intraperitoneal gabapentin, or their combination was administered 30 minutes before the first subcutaneous fentanyl injection. Sensitivity to nociceptive stimuli (von Frey filaments) was assessed on the day of the experiment and on the day after injections. The dose of ketamine and gabapentin received by a particular animal was determined by the response of the previous animal of the same group, using an up-and-down technique. Initial doses were 10 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg, with dose adjustment intervals of 1 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg, in the ketamine and gabapentin groups, respectively. The initial doses of ketamine and gabapentin were 5 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg, respectively, in the ketamine-gabapentin group, with the same dose adjustment intervals. Antihyperalgesic efficacy was defined as complete prevention of hyperalgesia on the day after drug injections. RESULTS The median effective antihyperalgesic doses (median value and 95% confidence interval) of ketamine and gabapentin were 12.4 mg/kg (11.7-13.1 mg/kg) and 296.3 mg/kg (283.5-309.1 mg/kg), respectively. The median effective antihyperalgesic dose of the combination was 4.3 mg/kg (3.7-4.6 mg/kg) for ketamine and 123.9 mg/kg (111.1-136.7 mg/kg) for gabapentin. CONCLUSION The isobolographic analysis demonstrated that the combination of the 2 drugs produces effective antihyperalgesia with a supraadditive (synergistic) action.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To further explain the mechanisms of action involved in the analgesic effect of a local anesthetic wound infusion, we evaluated parietal and visceral sensitivity as well as indices of inflammation after laparotomy and administration of a local anesthetic. Ropivacaine was administered at different dosages by a continuous infusion using a multiholed catheter in the preperitoneal position or systemically in rats. METHODS Nine groups of rats received 2 injections after laparotomy or sham surgery: (1) a bolus injection (ropivacaine or saline) via a preperitoneal catheter and (2) an IM injection (IM) (ropivacaine or saline). These injections were followed by a continuous infusion (ropivacaine or saline) in the preperitoneal catheter for 24 hours and 1 IM injection every 8 hours. Mechanical and visceral thresholds after stimulation were evaluated 3 times during the 48 hours after surgery. Stimulated production of tumor necrosis factor α, and interleukin 1β in whole-blood cultures were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The ropivacaine plasma concentration was measured by gas chromatography. RESULTS Preperitoneal infusion of high doses of ropivacaine and systemic ropivacaine similarly prevented mechanical and visceral sensitivity alterations and led to a better functional recovery. The analgesic effect of systemic administration was associated with an anti-inflammatory effect. CONCLUSION In the current study, high-dose ropivacaine administered via a preperitoneal infusion or systemic boluses had the same effect on mechanical and visceral sensitivity after laparotomy. Moreover, systemic administration was associated with an anti-inflammatory effect. The merits of the comparable benefit of systemic and high-dose preperitoneal infusion of ropivacaine need to be confirmed with further studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytokines are secreted locally in response to surgery and may be released into the systemic circulation. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is involved in various inflammatory conditions. The aims of the study were to examine the magnitude of surgical stress on the modulation of immune response and ROS production. METHODS Patients undergoing low- and intermediate-risk surgery (n=32) were enrolled. Blood samples for tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α, interleukin (IL)1β and IL10 assays were obtained before anesthesia, immediately after extubation, at 24 and 72 h after surgery. Measurement in whole-blood cultures of ex vivo lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Staphylococcus aureus Cowan (SAC)-stimulated production of cytokines was carried out. The pro-oxidant potency of the whole serum was assessed in human umbilical vein endothelial cells using a fluorescent probe after stimulation by the plasma collected at the same time intervals. RESULTS TNFα, IL1β and IL10 did not increase significantly after surgery in either group. Whole-blood cultures response to LPS and SAC stimulation decreased for IL1β at the end of surgery in the two groups and returned to normal within 24 h after surgery. LPS- and SAC-induced IL10 production increased significantly at 24 h in the low-risk surgery group. ROS production was greater after more stressful surgery and was correlated to morphine consumption. CONCLUSION Cytokine release in the systemic circulation was not well correlated to the magnitude of surgical stress, whereas transient immune hyporesponsiveness was seen after moderately stressful surgery. ROS production might be a more accurate indicator of the severity of surgical trauma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal effective dose of epidural morphine that provides postoperative analgesia after caesarean section with minimal side effects remains debated. AIMS We performed a systematic review to assess the analgesic efficacy and the incidence of adverse effects of epidural morphine after caesarean section compared to systemic analgesia with opioids. METHODS We searched Medline, Embase and Cochrane Collaboration Library databases. Studies were evaluated with the Modified Oxford Scale. Prospective randomized studies comparing analgesic efficacy and/or adverse effects of a single epidural morphine administration versus systemic opioids after elective caesarean section were included. RESULTS Ten studies (n=431) were selected. Epidural morphine increases the time until the first request for a rescue analgesic (Emax, 29.7 h; 95% confidence interval, 25.2-33.9) and decreases pain scores and postoperative morphine request during the first 24 h compared to systemic opioid analgesia. However, epidural morphine increases the incidence of pruritus (relative risk, 2.7; 95% CI, 2.1-3.6) and nausea (relative risk, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.2-3.3). CONCLUSIONS A single bolus of epidural morphine provides better analgesia than parenteral opioids but with an effect limited to the first postoperative day after caesarean section and with an increase in morphine side effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rapid infusion of lipid emulsion has been proposed to treat local anesthetic toxicity. The authors wanted to test the buffering properties of two commercially available emulsions made of long- and of long- and medium-chain triglycerides. METHODS Using the shake-flask method, the authors measured the solubility and binding of racemic bupivacaine, levobupivacaine, and ropivacaine to diluted Intralipid (Fresenius Kabi, Paris, France) and Medialipide (B-Braun, Boulogne, France). RESULTS The apparent distribution coefficient expressed as the ratio of mole fraction was 823 +/- 198 and 320 +/- 65 for racemic bupivacaine and levobupivacaine, and ropivacaine, respectively, at 500 mg in the Medialipide/buffer emulsion; and 1,870 +/- 92 and 1,240 +/- 14 for racemic bupivacaine and levobupivacaine, and ropivacaine, respectively, in the Intralipid/buffer emulsion. Decreasing the pH from 7.40 to 7.00 of the Medialipide/buffer emulsion led to a decrease in ratio of molar concentration from 121 +/- 3.8 to 46 +/- 2.8 for bupivacaine, and to a lesser extent from 51 +/- 4.0 to 31 +/- 1.6 for ropivacaine. The capacity of the 1% emulsions was 871 and 2,200 microM for the 1% Medialipide and Intralipid emulsions, respectively. The dissociation constant was 818 and 2,120 microM for racemic bupivacaine and levobupivacaine, and ropivacaine, respectively. Increasing the temperature from 20 to 37 degrees C led to a greater increase in affinity for ropivacaine (55%) than for bupivacaine (27%). When the pH of the buffer was decreased from 7.40 to 7.00, the affinity was decreased by a factor of 1.68, similar for both anesthetics. CONCLUSIONS The solubility of long-acting local anesthetics in lipid emulsions and the high capacity of binding of these emulsions most probably explain their clinical efficacy in case of toxicity. The long-chain triglyceride emulsion Intralipid appears to be about 2.5 times more efficacious than the 50/50 medium-chain/long-chain Medialipide emulsion. Also, because of their higher hydrophobicity, racemic bupivacaine and levobupivacaine seem to clear more rapidly than ropivacaine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A single dose of preemptive gabapentin reduces postoperative pain and postoperative analgesic consumption. However, the optimal dose of preemptive gabapentin remains to be evaluated. METHODS In this prospective study, we defined the median effective analgesic dose using an up-and-down sequential allocation technique of preemptive gabapentin in 67 patients undergoing elective posterior lumbar spinal fusion. The efficacy of the study drug was assessed by morphine consumption during the first 24 h postoperatively. RESULTS The median effective analgesic dose (median value and 95% confidence interval) of gabapentin was 21.7 mg/kg (19.9-23.5 mg/kg). CONCLUSION Given the large dose of gabapentin needed, further powered studies are warranted to assess side effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Blockade of parietal nociceptive afferents by the use of continuous wound infiltration with local anesthetics may be beneficial in a multimodal approach to postoperative pain management after major surgery. The role of continuous preperitoneal infusion of ropivacaine for pain relief and postoperative recovery after open colorectal resections was evaluated in a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. METHODS After obtaining written informed consents, a multiholed wound catheter was placed by the surgeon in the preperitoneal space at the end of surgery in patients scheduled to undergo elective open colorectal resection by midline incision. They were thereafter randomly assigned to receive through the catheter either 0.2% ropivacaine (10-ml bolus followed by an infusion of 10 ml/h during 48 h) or the same protocol with 0.9% NaCl. In addition, all patients received patient-controlled intravenous morphine analgesia. RESULTS Twenty-one patients were evaluated in each group. Compared with preperitoneal saline, ropivacaine infusion reduced morphine consumption during the first 72 h and improved pain relief at rest during 12 h and while coughing during 48 h. Sleep quality was also better during the first two postoperative nights. Time to recovery of bowel function (74 +/- 19 vs. 105 +/- 54 h; P = 0.02) and duration of hospital stay (115 +/- 25 vs. 147 +/- 53 h; P = 0.02) were significantly reduced in the ropivacaine group. Ropivacaine plasma concentrations remained below the level of toxicity. No side effects were observed. CONCLUSIONS Continuous preperitoneal administration of 0.2% ropivacaine at 10 ml/h during 48 h after open colorectal resection reduced morphine consumption, improved pain relief, and accelerated postoperative recovery.
