Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:129. [PMID: 38256962 PMCID: PMC10819548 DOI: 10.3390/ph17010129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Despite the possibility of postoperative pain occurrence, in some patients, vitreoretinal surgeries (VRSs) require performance of general anesthesia (GA). The administration of intraoperative intravenous rescue opioid analgesics (IROA) during GA constitutes a risk of perioperative adverse events. The Adequacy of Anesthesia (AoA) concept consists of an entropy electroencephalogram to guide the depth of GA and surgical pleth index (SPI) to optimize the titration of IROA. Preemptive analgesia (PA) using cyclooxygenase-3 (COX-3) inhibitors is added to GA to minimize the demand for IROA and reduce postoperative pain. The current analysis evaluated the advantage of PA using COX-3 inhibitors added to GA with AoA-guided administration of IROA on the rate of postoperative pain and hemodynamic stability in patients undergoing VRS. A total of 165 patients undergoing VRS were randomly allocated to receive either GA with AoA-guided IROA administration with intravenous paracetamol/metamizole or with preemptive paracetamol or metamizole. Preemptive paracetamol resulted in a reduction in the IROA requirement; both preemptive metamizole/paracetamol resulted in a reduced rate of postoperative pain as compared to metamizole alone. We recommend using intraoperative AOA-guided IROA administration during VRS to ensure hemodynamic stability alongside PA using both paracetamol/metamizole to reduce postoperative pain.

Eur J Med Res 2023; 28:472. [PMID: 37899488 PMCID: PMC10614322 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-023-01447-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine the safety and feasibility of sutureless pars-plana vitrectomy (ppV) in sub-Tenon anesthesia. METHODS In this prospective study. Pain and anxiety at various times after ppV using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and Wong-Baker-FACES scale as well as visual sensations during surgery were investigated. The surgeon evaluated motility, chemosis, overall feasibility. RESULTS ppV was performed on 67 eyes (33 sub-Tenon anesthesia, 34 general anesthesia). Pain during surgery in sub-Tenon anesthesia was 1.8 ± 2.2 (0.0-8.0), anxiety was 2.3 ± 2.2 (0.0-8.5). There was a moderate correlation between pain and anxiety (R2 = 0.58). Comparing sub-Tenon and general anesthesia no difference in pain perception was found the day after surgery. 27.3% of patients saw details, 21.2% saw colors, 90.1% saw light/motion perception, 3.0% had no light perception. Median chemosis after surgery was 1.0 (IQR = 1.0). Median motility of the eye during surgery was 1.0 (IQR = 1.0), median grade was 1.0 (IQR = 1.0). 24.2% of patients showed subconjunctival hemorrhage during or after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Sutureless pars-plana vitrectomy in sub-Tenon anesthesia was performed safely, with pain and anxiety levels tolerable for the patients and without the necessity for presence of an anesthesiologist. With 88.9% of patients willing to undergo vitreoretinal surgery in sub-Tenon anesthesia again, we recommend it as a standard option. Trial registration This study was approved by the Institutional Ethical Review Board of the RWTH Aachen University (EK 111/19). This study is listed on clinicaltrials.gov (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04257188, February 5th 2020).

Adverse Events during Vitrectomy under Adequacy of Anesthesia-An Additional Report. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10184172. [PMID: 34575281 PMCID: PMC8468095 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10184172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2021] [Revised: 08/31/2021] [Accepted: 09/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The intraprocedural immobilization of selected subsets of patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) requires the performance of general anesthesia (GA), which entails the intraoperative use of hypnotics and titration of opioids. The Adequacy of Anesthesia (AoA) concept of GA guidance optimizes the intraoperative dosage of hypnotics and opioids. Pre-emptive analgesia (PA) is added to GA to minimize intraoperative opioid (IO) usage. The current additional analysis evaluated the advantages of PA using either COX-3 inhibitors or regional techniques when added to AoA-guided GA on the rate of presence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), oculo-emetic (OER), and oculo-cardiac reflex (OCR) in patients undergoing PPV. A total of 176 patients undergoing PPV were randomly allocated into 5 groups: (1) Group GA, including patients who received general anesthesia alone; (2) Group T, including patients who received preventive topical analgesia by triple instillation of 2% proparacaine 15 min before induction of GA; (3) Group PBB, including patients who received PBB; (4) Group M, including patients who received PA using a single dose of 1 g of metamizole; (5) Group P, including patients who received PA using a single dose of 1 g of acetaminophen. The incidence rates of PONV, OCR, and OER were studied as a secondary outcome. Despite the group allocation, intraoperative AoA-guided GA resulted in an overall incidence of PONV in 9%, OCR in 12%, and OER in none of the patients. No statistically significant differences were found between groups regarding the incidence of OCR. PA using COX-3 inhibitors, as compared to that of the T group, resulted in less overall PONV (p < 0.05). Conclusions: PA using regional techniques in patients undergoing PPV proved to have no advantage when AoA-guided GA was utilised. We recommend using intraoperative AoA-guided GA to reduce the presence of OCR, and the addition of PA using COX-3 inhibitors to reduce the rate of PONV.

Preventive Analgesia, Hemodynamic Stability, and Pain in Vitreoretinal Surgery. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2021; 57:medicina57030262. [PMID: 33809346 PMCID: PMC7998194 DOI: 10.3390/medicina57030262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Revised: 03/03/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2021] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Although vitreoretinal surgery (VRS) is most commonly performed under regional anaesthesia (RA), in patients who might be unable to cooperate during prolonged procedures, general anaesthesia (GA) with intraprocedural use of opioid analgesics (OA) might be worth considering. It seems that the surgical pleth index (SPI) can be used to optimise the intraprocedural titration of OA, which improves haemodynamic stability. Preventive analgesia (PA) is combined with GA to minimise intraprocedural OA administration. Materials and Methods: We evaluated the benefit of PA combined with GA using SPI-guided fentanyl (FNT) administration on the incidences of PIPP (postprocedural intolerable pain perception) and haemodynamic instability in patients undergoing VRS (p < 0.05). We randomly assigned 176 patients undergoing VRS to receive GA with SPI-guided FNT administration alone (GA group) or with preventive topical 2% proparacaine (topical anaesthesia (TA) group), a preprocedural peribulbar block (PBB) using 0.5% bupivacaine with 2% lidocaine (PBB group), or a preprocedural intravenous infusion of 1.0 g of metamizole (M group) or 1.0 g of paracetamol (P group). Results: Preventive PBB reduced the intraprocedural FNT requirement without influencing periprocedural outcomes (p < 0.05). Intraprocedural SPI-guided FNT administration during GA resulted in PIPP in 13.5% of patients undergoing VRS and blunted the periprocedural effects of preventive intravenous and regional analgesia with respect to PIPP and haemodynamic instability. Conclusions: SPI-guided FNT administration during GA eliminated the benefits of preventive analgesia in the PBB, TA, M, and P groups following VRS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), a surgical procedure used to treat different ophthalmic pathologies, could be associated with moderate to severe eye pain. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of postoperative eye pain and its risk factors following PPV in a selected population of patients with non-painful eye disease, receiving regional anesthesia and moderate sedation with benzodiazepines, without use of narcotics. METHODS Single-center, prospective observational cohort study. We recorded the presence of pain at operating room discharge, at 6 and 24 hours, using the numeric rating scale (NRS). We recorded also age, sex, ethnic origin, American Society of Anaesthesia physical status (ASA PS) classification, Charlson Comorbidity Index, the etiology of the vitreoretinal pathology, length of surgery, and type of surgical procedure performed. RESULTS Eye pain (NRS>3) was present in three patients (0.7%) at operating room discharge, 59 (13.2%) at six and 65 (14.6%) at 24 hours after surgery. LASSO logistic regression analysis identified age, ASA PS, race, along with tamponade as independent risk factors for eye pain at six hours. Scleral buckling was selected for eye pain at 24 hrs. CONCLUSIONS A protocol for pain control after PPV should be considered, especially in younger, non-Caucasian people, and patients with high ASA PS grade. Moreover, attention must be paid when additional surgical procedures are requested, restricting them to selected patients, and using the appropriate agent for intraocular tamponade.
