[PMID: 38504037 DOI: 10.1007/s12630-024-02699-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2021] [Revised: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 03/21/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Total joint arthroplasty (TJA), particularly for the hip and knee, is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures. The advancement/evolution of surgical and anesthesia techniques have allowed TJA to be performed on an ambulatory/same-day discharge basis. In this Continuing Professional Development module, we synthesize the perioperative evidence that may aid the development of successful ambulatory TJA pathways. SOURCE We searched MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews for ambulatory or fast-track TJA articles. In the absence of direct evidence for the ambulatory setting, we extrapolated the evidence from the in-patient TJA literature. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Patient selection encompassing patient, medical, and social factors is fundamental for successful same-day discharge of patients following TJA. Evidence for the type of intraoperative anesthesia favours neuraxial technique for achieving same day discharge criteria and reduced perioperative complications. Availability of short-acting local anesthetic for neuraxial anesthesia would affect the anesthetic choice. Nonetheless, modern general anesthesia with multimodal analgesia and antithrombotics in a well selected population can be considered. Regional analgesia forms an integral part of the multimodal analgesia regime to reduce opioid consumption and facilitate same-day hospital discharge, reducing hospital readmission. For ambulatory total knee arthroplasty, a combination of adductor canal block with local anesthetic periarticular infiltration provided is a suitable regional analgesic regimen. CONCLUSION Anesthesia for TJA has evolved as such that same-day discharge will become the norm for selected patients. It is essential to establish pathways for early discharge to prevent adverse effects and readmission in this population. As more data are generated from an increased volume of ambulatory TJA, more robust evidence will emerge for the ideal anesthetic components to optimize outcomes.

[PMID: 38476991 PMCID: PMC10928446 DOI: 10.5812/aapm-136871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/05/2023] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Spinal anesthesia (SA) for the surgical management of chronic anal fissures is favored by surgeons as it provides an early return to daily activities; however, the agents applied for SA to achieve the best outcomes with minimized adverse effects are a matter of debate. Objectives This study aimed to assess the utility of Marcaine versus meperidine for SA induction of anoderm surgery. Methods This randomized clinical trial (RCT) was conducted on 138 patients with chronic anal fissures who were candidates for surgical management in 2020. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups of SA using 2.5 mL of hyperbaric Marcaine 0.5% (n = 69) or 1 mg/kg of meperidine (n = 69). Pain severity (measured via Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)), anal sphincter tone manometry (measured at baseline and the end of the sphincterotomy), and drug-related adverse effects were compared between the groups. Results Both agents led to significant pain relief within 24 hours after SA (P < 0.05); nevertheless, pain severity was remarkably lower in meperidine-treated patients in different measurements performed during the first 24 hours after SA (P < 0.05). The sphincteric tone significantly decreased in both groups (P < 0.001), while the postoperative tone was significantly less in the Marcaine-treated patients (65.22 ± 3.02 versus 46.04 ± 1.97, P < 0.001). The two groups did not differ regarding the adverse effects (P > 0.05). Conclusions Meperidine for SA in anal fissure surgical management was relatively superior to Marcaine, as postoperative pain control was remarkably better achieved with meperidine. However, anal sphincter tone reached a normal range in Marcaine-treated cases, and the average tone in those anesthetized with meperidine was slightly above the normal limits.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION As total joint arthroplasty programs continue to move towards same-day discharge (SDD), time to discharge is an increasingly important performance indicator. The primary objective of this study was to determine the impact of the choice of anesthetic on the time to discharge after SDD primary hip and knee arthroplasty. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted within our SDD arthroplasty program, with 261 patients identified for analysis. Baseline characteristics, length of surgery, anesthetic drug, dose, and perioperative complications were extracted and recorded. The time from the patient leaving the operating room (OR) to physiotherapy (PT) assessment, and from OR to discharge were recorded. These were referred to as ambulation time and discharge time respectively. RESULTS The ambulation time was significantly reduced when hypobaric lidocaine was used in a spinal block compared to isobaric or hyperbaric bupivacaine-135 minutes (range, 39 to 286), 305 minutes (range, 46 to 591), 227 minutes (range, 77 to 387) respectively-p<0.0001). Similarly, the discharge time was also significantly lower with hypobaric lidocaine compared to isobaric bupivacaine, hyperbaric bupivacaine, and general anesthesia-276 minutes (range, 179 to 461), 426 minutes (range, 267 to 623), 375 minutes (range, 221 to 511), 371 minutes (range, 217 to 570) respectively-(p<0.0001). No cases of transient neurologic symptoms were reported. CONCLUSIONS Patients receiving a hypobaric lidocaine spinal block experienced significantly reduced ambulation time and time to discharge compared to other anesthetics. Surgical teams should feel confident in using hypobaric lidocaine during spinal anesthesia as it is quick and efficacious.

[PMID: 37021417 PMCID: PMC10556365 DOI: 10.2174/1570159x21666230404102122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 04/07/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Severe neurologic complications after spinal anesthesia are rare but highly distressing, especially in pregnant women. Bupivacaine is widely used in spinal anesthesia, but its neurotoxic effects have gained attention. METHODS Furthermore, the etiology of bupivacaine-mediated neurotoxicity in obstetric patients remains unclear. Female C57BL/6 mice were intrathecally injected with 0.75% bupivacaine on the 18th day of pregnancy. We used immunohistochemistry to examine DNA damage after bupivacaine treatment in pregnant mice and measured γ-H2AX (Ser139) and 8-OHdG in the spinal cord. A PARP-1 inhibitor (PJ34) and autophagy inhibitor (3-MA) were administered with bupivacaine in pregnant mice. Parp-1flox/flox mice were crossed with Nes-Cre transgenic mice to obtain neuronal conditional knockdown mice. Then, LC3B and P62 staining were performed to evaluate autophagic flux in the spinal cords of pregnant wild-type (WT) and Parp-1-/- mice. We performed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to evaluate autophagosomes. RESULTS The present study showed that oxidative stress-mediated DNA damage and neuronal injury were increased after bupivacaine treatment in the spinal cords of pregnant mice. Moreover, PARP-1 was significantly activated, and autophagic flux was disrupted. Further studies revealed that PARP-1 knockdown and autophagy inhibitors could alleviate bupivacaine-mediated neurotoxicity in pregnant mice. CONCLUSION Bupivacaine may cause neuronal DNA damage and PARP-1 activation in pregnant mice. PARP-1 further obstructed autophagic flux and ultimately led to neurotoxicity.

Speckle Noise Algorithm-Based Ultrasound Imaging in Evaluating the Therapeutic Effect of Blood Purification on Children with Kidney Failure and Analysis of Its Correlation with Serum Inflammatory Factor Levels. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:3384102. [PMID: 35132356 PMCID: PMC8817874 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3384102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2021] [Revised: 12/06/2021] [Accepted: 01/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
The study focused on the therapeutic effect of clinical treatment on urinary calculi with kidney failure and its relationship with the serum inflammatory factor levels. 90 children with melamine urinary calculi were selected as research subjects. Of them, 52 cases were in group 1 (nonrenal failure), and 38 cases were in group 2 (combined with renal failure). In addition, 35 hospitalized children with no history of melamine-contaminated milk feeding during the same period were used as healthy controls. They all underwent ultrasound imaging examination based on the speckle noise algorithm, and the prognosis was analyzed. It was found that the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity (SSIM), and local edge preservation index (EPI) of the algorithm in this study were significantly greater than other algorithms (P < 0.05). The admission age of the children in group 1 was significantly younger than that of group 2, the bilateral stone rate was significantly higher than that in group 2, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Of the 52 children in group 1, the stone disappeared in 25 cases after treatment, the stone was reduced in 20 cases, and the stone remained unchanged in 7 cases. The total effective rate of treatment was 88.46%. Of the 38 cases in group 2, the stone disappeared in 22 cases after treatment, the stone was reduced in 12 cases, and the stone remained unchanged in 4 cases. The total effective rate of treatment was 89.47%. No difference was noted in blood urea nitrogen (BUN), blood creatinine (Cr), TNF-α, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in group 1, group 2, and the healthy control group (P > 0.05). Hence, the denoising algorithm in this study has better denoising effects on ultrasound images than traditional algorithms, with higher definition and less noise and artifacts. The clinical treatment of children with urinary calculi and renal failure is highly effective, the renal function and serum inflammatory factor levels return to the normal range, and the inflammatory response is weakened.

Abstract
Neuraxial drug administration, i.e., the injection of drugs into the epidural or intrathecal space to produce anesthesia or analgesia, is a technique developed more than 120 years ago. Today, it still is widely used in daily practice in anesthesiology and in acute and chronic pain therapy. A multitude of different drugs have been introduced for neuraxial injection, only a part of which have obtained official approval for that indication. A broad understanding of the pharmacology of those agents is essential to the clinician to utilize them in a safe and efficient manner. In the present narrative review, we summarize current knowledge on neuraxial anatomy relevant to clinical practice, including pediatric anatomy. Then, we delineate the general pharmacology of neuraxial drug administration, with particular attention to specific aspects of epidural and intrathecal pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Furthermore, we describe the most common clinical indications for neuraxial drug administration, including the perioperative setting, obstetrics, and chronic pain. Then, we discuss possible neurotoxic effects of neuraxial drugs, and moreover, we detail the specific properties of the most commonly used neuraxial drugs that are relevant to clinicians who employ epidural or intrathecal drug administration, in order to ensure adequate treatment and patient safety in these techniques. Finally, we give a brief overview on new developments in neuraxial drug therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the clinical efficacy and safety profile of ropivacaine in comparison with other dental anesthetics in different clinical conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This meta-analysis was registered in the National Institute for Health Research PROSPERO (ID: CRD42020205580). PubMed and Scholar Google were consulted to identify clinical trials using ropivacaine in comparison with other local anesthetic drugs for any dental procedure. Articles comparing ropivacaine and other dental anesthetics were assessed with the Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias tool. Data from reports without a high risk of bias were extracted (anesthetic and adverse effects) and analyzed using the Review Manager Software 5.3. for Windows and the Risk Reduction Calculator. RESULTS Ropivacaine produces a longer anesthetic time when compared with lidocaine/adrenaline (n = 260; p = 0.00001) and similar anesthesia than bupivacaine (n = 190). CONCLUSIONS Data of this study indicate that ropivacaine infiltration produces a longer anesthetic time when compared with lidocaine and articaine but not when compared to bupivacaine in dental procedures. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Ropivacaine was more effective than lidocaine for dental anesthesia. For this reason, the manufacture of a ropivacaine dental cartridge with a suitable concentration could be an important advancement for clinical practice.

The use of intravenous lidocaine for postoperative pain and recovery: international consensus statement on efficacy and safety. Anaesthesia 2020; 76:238-250.

Abstract
Intravenous lidocaine is used widely for its effect on postoperative pain and recovery but it can be, and has been, fatal when used inappropriately and incorrectly. The risk-benefit ratio of i.v. lidocaine varies with type of surgery and with patient factors such as comorbidity (including pre-existing chronic pain). This consensus statement aims to address three questions. First, does i.v. lidocaine effectively reduce postoperative pain and facilitate recovery? Second, is i.v. lidocaine safe? Third, does the fact that i.v. lidocaine is not licensed for this indication affect its use? We suggest that i.v. lidocaine should be regarded as a 'high-risk' medicine. Individual anaesthetists may feel that, in selected patients, i.v. lidocaine may be beneficial as part of a multimodal peri-operative pain management strategy. This approach should be approved by hospital medication governance systems, and the individual clinical decision should be made with properly informed consent from the patient concerned. If i.v. lidocaine is used, we recommend an initial dose of no more than 1.5 mg.kg-1 , calculated using the patient's ideal body weight and given as an infusion over 10 min. Thereafter, an infusion of no more than 1.5 mg.kg-1 .h-1 for no longer than 24 h is recommended, subject to review and re-assessment. Intravenous lidocaine should not be used at the same time as, or within the period of action of, other local anaesthetic interventions. This includes not starting i.v. lidocaine within 4 h after any nerve block, and not performing any nerve block until 4 h after discontinuing an i.v. lidocaine infusion.

Lidocaine vs. Other Local Anesthetics in the Development of Transient Neurologic Symptoms (TNS) Following Spinal Anesthesia: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9020493. [PMID: 32054114 PMCID: PMC7074456 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9020493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2019] [Revised: 01/17/2020] [Accepted: 02/08/2020] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The use of lidocaine in spinal anesthesia may increase the risk of transient neurological symptoms (TNS) according to previous meta-analyses. However, the previous meta-analyses lacked data on some other local anesthetics and thus, more evaluations are still needed to compare the effect of lidocaine on the development of TNS. The objective of this study was to compare the risk of TNS according to lidocaine versus other local anesthetics in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia. A total of 39 randomized controlled trials with 4733 patients were analyzed. The incidence of TNS was 10.8% in the lidocaine group and was 2.2% in the control groups (risk ratio (RR) 4.12, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.13 to 5.43, p < 0.001). In subgroup analysis, lidocaine increased the incidence of TNS compared with other local anesthetics except mepivacaine, ropivacaine or sameridine. The risk of TNS was higher in the hyperbaric (p < 0.001) or isobaric lidocaine (p < 0.001) group compared with the control group, but there were no differences found between the two groups when hypobaric lidocaine was administered (p = 1.00). This study confirmed that lidocaine for spinal anesthesia still causes TNS more frequently than most other local anesthetics, especially when hyperbaric or isobaric lidocaine was used.
