Abstract
Intraoperative nociception is affected by preoperative factors, surgical invasiveness, and anesthesia. Although age-related changes in nociception in conscious humans have been well examined, those in intraoperative nociception in unconscious patients under general anesthesia are unknown. To clarify associations between age and intraoperative nociception under general anesthesia, we performed a retrospective cohort study in consecutive patients of all ages undergoing non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia from January 2019 to July 2023. The intraoperative nociception value in each surgery was assessed by the averaged value of nociceptive response (mean NR) index during surgery. Patient characteristics, including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), emergent surgery, preoperative serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level, and comorbidities were also collected. After excluding patients with missing data of CRP and mean NR index, 22,061 patients were enrolled, and were divided into low, intermediate, and high surgical risk groups. Multivariable regression analysis showed a significant association between age and mean NR index in all three surgical procedure risk groups. The preoperative variables of CRP levels, BMI, emergent surgery, atrial fibrillation, renal failure, and long-term steroid use also showed significant associations with mean NR index in all three groups. Sensitivity analysis showed that intraoperative mean NR index was higher in younger children than that in both older children and younger adults, and it gradually increased again in older adults to the same level as in younger children. In conclusion, there is likely an association between age and intraoperative mean NR index in patients under general anesthesia.

Intraoperative nociception and postoperative inflammation associated with the suppression of major complications due to thoracic epidural block after pleurectomy/decortication for malignant pleural mesothelioma under general anesthesia: A retrospective observational study. Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e34832.

Abstract
A recent study showed that thoracic epidural block (TEB) suppressed the occurrence of major complications after pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) under general anesthesia. To investigate the mechanisms underlying the correlation, both acute inflammatory status and intraoperative nociception were evaluated in the present study. In a single-institutional observational study, consecutive adult patients undergoing P/D were enrolled from March 2019 to April 2022. Perioperative acute inflammatory status was evaluated using differential White blood cell (WBC) counts and serum concentration of C-reactive protein (CRP) both before and after the surgery on postoperative day (POD) 1. The averaged value of nociceptive response index during surgery (mean NR) was obtained to evaluate the level of intraoperative nociception. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the association between perioperative variables and major complications Postoperative major postoperative complication was defined as Clavien-Dindo grades ≥ III. We conducted this study with 97 patients. After logistic regression analysis showed that general anesthesia without TEB was a sole risk factor for major complications, patients were divided into 2 groups: general anesthesia with and without TEB. The incidence of major complications was significantly lower in patients with TEB (33.3%, n = 33) than in those without TEB (64.1%, n = 64, P < .01). Although there was no significant difference in the CRP level between 2 groups, the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) on POD 1 in patients with TEB was significantly higher than that in patients without TEB (P = .04). The mean NR was significantly lower in patients with TEB than that in those without TEB (P = .02). Both lower mean NR during surgery and higher LMR on POD 1 are likely associated the suppression of major complications due to TEB after P/D under general anesthesia. Decreases in the postoperative acute inflammatory response, caused by the reduction of intraoperative nociception due to TEB, may help suppress major complications after P/D.

Association between averaged intraoperative nociceptive response index and postoperative complications after lung resection surgery. Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg 2022; 35:6754818.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Since postoperative complications, defined as Clavien-Dindo grade ≥II, correlate with long-term survival after lung resection surgery in patients with primary lung cancer, identification of intraoperative risk factors for postoperative complications is crucial for better perioperative management. In the present study, we investigated the possible association between intraoperative variables for use in anaesthetic management and Clavien-Dindo grade ≥II. METHODS In this multi-institutional observational study, consecutive adult patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery for primary lung cancer under general anaesthesia from March 2019 to April 2021 were enrolled. All patients were divided into 2 groups with Clavien-Dindo grade <II and ≥II. Uni- and multivariable analyses were performed to identify intraoperative risk factors. RESULTS After univariable analysis between patients with Clavien-Dindo grade <II (n = 415) and ≥II (n = 121), multivariable analysis revealed higher averaged nociceptive response (NR) index during surgery (mean NR), male sex, lower body mass index, longer duration of surgery, higher blood loss and lower urine volume, as independent risk factors for postoperative complications. In sensitivity analysis, based on the cut-off value of mean NR for postoperative complications, all patients were divided into high and low mean NR groups. The incidence of postoperative complications was significantly higher in patients with high mean NR (n = 332) than in patients with low mean NR (n = 204; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Higher mean NR, as intraoperative variables for use in anaesthetic management, is associated with the higher incidence of postoperative complications after primary lung cancer surgery.

Abstract
IntroductionA curative-intent surgical procedure, pleurectomy/decortication, for malignant pleural mesothelioma is accompanied by a high incidence of major postoperative complications. Although epidural block, which suppresses nociception during and after surgery, reportedly has both benefits and disadvantages in terms of outcomes after thoracic surgery for other diseases, the effects of epidural block on major complications after pleurectomy/decortication have not been evaluated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between epidural block and major postoperative complications following pleurectomy/decortication.MethodsIn a single-institutional observational study, consecutive adult patients undergoing pleurectomy/decortication under general anesthesia were enrolled from March 2019 to December 2021. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the association between perioperative variables and major complications. Next, patients were divided into two groups: general anesthesia with and without epidural block. Incidences of major postoperative complications, defined as Clavien-Dindo grades≥III, were compared between groups.ResultsIn all patients enrolled with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status II or III (n=99), general anesthesia without epidural block was identified as a sole risk factor for major complications among perioperative variables. The incidence of major complications was 32.3% (95% CI 19.1% to 49.2%) in patients with epidural block (n=34), which was significantly lower than 63.1% (95% CI 50.9% to 73.8%) in patients without epidural block (n=65). In sensitivity analysis in patients with ASA physical status II alone, the same results were obtained.ConclusionEpidural block is likely associated with reduction of the incidence of major complications after pleurectomy/decortication for malignant pleural mesothelioma under general anesthesia.
