Campbell S, Chin R, Liu WM, Siddiqui U, Kastanias P, Chin KJ. Postoperative pain trajectory and opioid requirements after laparoscopic bariatric surgery: a single-centre historical cohort study. Can J Anaesth 2024:10.1007/s12630-024-02795-1. [PMID: 39112773 DOI: 10.1007/s12630-024-02795-1] [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: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Concerns around delayed emergence and opioid-induced ventilatory impairment in bariatric surgery can lead to intraoperative reliance on short-acting opioids and avoidance of long-acting analgesics with potential sedative effects. Nevertheless, an overly-conservative intraoperative analgesic strategy may result in significant pain at emergence and higher opioid requirements in later phases of care. We sought to establish the pattern of intraoperative analgesic use in bariatric surgical patients as well as their postoperative pain trajectory and opioid requirements. METHODS We undertook a single-centre historical cohort study. We explored associations between intraoperative analgesic interventions and pain scores and opioid requirements in postanesthesia care units (PACUs), and associations between the quality of analgesia at emergence and subsequent pain and patient-centred recovery outcomes. RESULTS We extracted perioperative data for 939 patients who underwent bariatric metabolic surgery between January 2018 and October 2019. Only 39% of patients received long-acting opioids intraoperatively and there was minimal use of nonopioid analgesic adjuncts. Nearly 80% of patients reported moderate-to-severe pain on PACU arrival; 97% of patients received intravenous opioids for rescue analgesia (mean dose, 31 mg oral morphine equivalents). Lower pain scores at PACU admission and discharge were associated with subsequent lower inpatient pain scores, lower opioid requirements, shorter time to ambulation, and shorter length of hospital stay. CONCLUSION In bariatric surgical patients, effective intraoperative analgesic strategies that improve early pain control may have an impact on recovery and pain experience. Judicious use of intraoperative opioids coupled with opioid-sparing multimodal analgesic techniques should be considered and balanced against concerns regarding opioid-related adverse effects in this patient population.

Effects of Intravenous Lidocaine on Quality of Recovery After Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Obes Surg 2024; 34:2663-2669. [PMID: 38780836 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-024-07300-7] [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: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effects of pre and intraoperative lidocaine infusion on short-term recovery quality after laparoscopic bariatric surgeries. In the search across MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases, we considered randomized controlled trials comparing intravenous lidocaine vs placebo (saline) for patients with obesity undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Seven studies (640 patients) were included. The lidocaine group had a significantly higher recovery quality score, a lower morphine consumption, and a notably reduced rate of nausea and vomiting compared with the placebo group. Additionally, Lidocaine infusion was associated with a shorter hospital stay, while no significant difference was observed in the time to bowel function recovery between both groups. In conclusion, lidocaine infusion before and during laparoscopic bariatric surgery contributes to an enhanced quality of recovery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) commonly experience moderate to severe postoperative pain. We conducted a randomized, prospective double-blind placebo-controlled study to evaluate the analgesic effect of laparoscopic-guided TAP (LG-TAP) block after LSG in a high-volume bariatric center, applying an enhanced recovery after bariatric surgery (ERABS) pathway. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred ten patients were randomly allocated to receive LG-TAP block with local anesthetic (LA) or saline solution (placebo), both combined with port-site infiltration with LA (LA-PSI). Primary outcome was pain score measured in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) and at 6, 12, and 24 h after surgery. Secondary outcomes included postoperative nausea and/or vomiting (PONV), analgesic requirement, time to walking, time to flatus, length of hospital stay (LOS), and surgical complications. RESULTS No significant differences were observed between LG-TAP and placebo groups in postoperative analgesia, with a median (IQR) NRS of 2 (4.75-0) vs. 2 (5.25-0) in PACU, 5.5 (7-3) vs. 6 (7-4) at 6 h, 2 (6-0) vs. 3 (5.25-1.75) at 12 h, and 2 (3.75-0) vs. 1 (2-0) at 24 h; all p > 0.05. A significant difference was found in PONV in PACU (LG-TAP, 46%; placebo, 25%, p-value, 0.019) and at 6 h postoperatively (LG-TAP, 69%, placebo, 41%, p-value, 0.003). No differences were observed as regards other secondary outcomes. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that LG-TAP block is not related to more effective postoperative analgesia compared to placebo when LA-PSI is performed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical care pathways help guide and provide structure to clinicians and providers to improve healthcare delivery and quality. The Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Committee (QIPS) of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) has previously published care pathways for the performance of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and pre-operative care of patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). OBJECTIVE This current RYGB care pathway was created to address intraoperative care, defined as care occurring on the day of surgery from the preoperative holding area, through the operating room, and into the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). METHODS PubMed queries were performed from January 2001 to December 2019 and reviewed according to Level of Evidence regarding specific key questions developed by the committee. RESULTS Evidence-based recommendations are made for care of patients undergoing RYGB including the pre-operative holding area, intra-operative management and performance of RYGB, and concurrent procedures. CONCLUSIONS This document may provide guidance based on recent evidence to bariatric surgeons and providers for the intra-operative care for minimally invasive RYGB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with obesity are more sensitive to pain and more likely to have acute postoperative pain (APP). Studies have shown that the depth of anesthesia may affect the incidence of APP. The purpose of the study was to look into the connection between APP and depth of anesthesia in patients with obesity undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. METHODS This is a prospective, double-blinded randomized clinical trial, 90 patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy were randomly divided into two groups: the light anesthesia group (Bispectral Index of 50, BIS 50) and the deep anesthesia group (BIS 35). The degree of pain was evaluated by the visual analogue scale (VAS) at 0, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h after surgery. The use of analgesics, grade of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) score were recorded. RESULTS The VAS scores at rest or coughing at 0, 12, and 24 h after surgery in the BIS 35 group were lower than those in the BIS 50 group (P < 0.05). Fewer patients in the deep anesthesia group needed analgesia during the recovery period, and patient satisfaction was higher on the 3rd day after surgery (P < 0.015, P < 0.032, respectively). CONCLUSIONS For patients with obesity, maintaining a deeper depth of anesthesia during surgery is beneficial to reduce APP causes less need for additional analgesic drugs, and improves patient satisfaction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) guided by laparoscopy and ultrasound showed promise in enhancing the multimodal analgesic approach following several abdominal procedures. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety between Laparoscopic (LAP) TAP block (LTAP) and ultrasound-guided TAP block (UTAP) block in patients undergoing LAP bariatric surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS This non-inferiority randomized controlled single-blind study was conducted on 120 patients with obesity scheduled for LAP bariatric surgeries. Patients were allocated into two equal groups: LTAP and UTAP, administered with 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine on each side. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference in the total morphine consumption, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score at all times of measurements, and time to the first rescue analgesia (p > .05) between both groups. The duration of anesthesia and duration of block performance were significantly shorter in the LTAP group than in the UTAP group (p < .001). Both groups had comparable post-operative heart rate, mean arterial pressure, adverse effects, and patient satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS In LAP bariatric surgery, the analgesic effect of LTAP is non-inferior to UTAP, as evidenced by comparable time to first rescue analgesia and total morphine consumption with similar safety blocking through the low incidence of post-operative complications and patient satisfaction. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was registered in Pan African Clinical Trials Registry (PACTR) (ID: PACTR202206871825386) on June 29, 2022.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Same-day discharge (SDD) after bariatric surgery is increasingly being performed and is safe with careful patient selection. However, detecting early complications during the first postoperative days can be challenging. We developed a postoperative care protocol for these patients and aimed to evaluate its effectiveness in detecting complications and monitoring patient recovery. METHODS A single-center retrospective observational study was conducted with patients with who underwent Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) with successful SDD. The study evaluated the effectiveness of the safety net that included simple remote monitoring with a pulsoximeter and thermometer, a phone consultation on postoperative day (POD) 1, and a physical consultation on POD 2-4. Furthermore, an analysis was performed on various factors including pain scores, painkiller usage, and incidences of nausea and vomiting on POD 1. RESULTS In this study, 373 consecutive patients were included, of whom 19 (5.1%) were readmitted until POD 4. Among these, 12 patients (3.2%) reached out to the hospital themselves, while 7 (1.9%) were readmitted after phone or physical consultations. Ten of the readmitted patients had tachycardia. On POD 1, the mean numeric rating scale was 4 ± 2, and 96.6% of the patients used acetaminophen, 35.5% used naproxen, and 9.7% used oxynorm. Of the patients, 13.9% experienced nausea and 6.7% reported vomiting. CONCLUSION A postoperative care protocol for SDD after RYGB, comprising simple remote monitoring along with a phone consultation on POD 1 and a physical checkup on POD 2-4, was effective in monitoring patient recovery and detecting all early complications.

Abstract
Background Morbid obesity may cause a restrictive condition. General anesthesia (GA) and supine posture both decrease lung capacity and functional residual capacity (FRC), altering the ventilation/perfusion ratio and raising the pulmonary shunt. Objectives To evaluate the impact of recruitment maneuver (RM) and transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block performed during laparoscopic bariatric surgery on spirometry, oxygenation, opioid requirements, and pain score assessed after surgery. Methods This pilot prospective randomized controlled study included 80 patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic bariatric surgeries (e.g., laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and laparoscopic gastric bypass) under GA. Patients were divided into four equal groups. All patients received a standardized postoperative analgesia regimen. Group I (control group), group II received TAP block after intubation and before surgical incision, group III received RM after intubation and after pneumoperitoneal insufflation, and group IV received RM after intubation and after pneumoperitoneal exsufflation and TAP block after intubation and before surgical incision. Results Forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume (FEV1) were significantly higher after group IV operation than in other groups. Intraoperative PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 were significantly higher in groups III and IV compared to other groups. The numerical rating scale (NRS) at 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12h was significantly decreased in groups II and IV compared to other groups. Morphine consumption was significantly lower in groups II and IV compared to other groups. Conclusions TAP block combined with RM had better postoperative pulmonary function tests. Intraoperative oxygenation was higher in RM.

A Prospective, Double-blind, Randomized Controlled Trial. Obes Surg 2023; 33:555-561. [PMID: 36564620 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-022-06417-x] [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: 07/05/2022] [Revised: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 12/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimization of opiate use is an important focus in the setting of the severe national opioid crisis. This study evaluated the role of liposomal bupivacaine (LB) in decreasing postoperative opioid use before and after implementation of a bariatric enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program. METHODS We performed an IRB-approved, prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial of LB versus plain bupivacaine (PB) in patients undergoing elective, minimally invasive, weight loss surgery at a comprehensive metabolic and bariatric surgery program from November 2017 to December 2019. Primary outcomes were postoperative morphine milligram equivalents per day (MME/day) and average subjective inpatient pain level. Secondary outcomes were length of hospital stay (LOS) and adverse events (AEs). RESULTS Of the 100 patients enrolled, 78 were randomly assigned to LB (42) or PB (36). Thirty-four received the ERAS protocol, and 44 did not. The mean MME/day use did not differ significantly by the bupivacaine group [median, IQR PB: 20.3 (40.95); LB: 33.0 (42.9); p = .314], but it did differ by the ERAS group [median, IQR no ERAS 33.2 (47.1), ERAS 24.0 (34.0); p = .049]. Length of stay, inpatient pain score, and AEs did not differ significantly by either the bupivacaine or the ERAS group. CONCLUSIONS In our study, liposomal bupivacaine did not significantly decrease postoperative opioid use either before implementation of ERAS or as part of an enhanced recovery after surgery program for minimally invasive bariatric surgery procedures.

[PMID: 35382963 DOI: 10.1016/j.jopan.2021.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2021] [Revised: 12/15/2021] [Accepted: 12/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the effects of ketamine, dexmedetomidine, and lidocaine infusions added to the multimodal analgesia regimen on pain scores and analgesic requirement in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. DESIGN A prospective randomized double-blind trial. Seventy-three patients aged 18 to 65 years (ASA II-III) undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy were included. The patients were divided into 3 groups. Intravenous (IV) ketamine (0.5 mg/kg/h), dexmedetomidine (0.5 mcg/kg/h), and lidocaine (2 mg/kg/h) were administered to Groups K, D and L, respectively. Postoperative infusions were continued for 12 hours. METHODS Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores (during rest and movement) in the admission to postanesthesia care unit, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 hours, and on day 15 were assessed postoperatively. Rescue analgesia requirement, the number of patients with nausea, retching, and vomiting, time to mobilization, and hospital length of stay (LOS) were recorded. FINDINGS VASrest values during all measurements in the first 24 hours, and VASmovement values in the first 6 hours and at 24 hours were lower in Group L when compared to Group K and Group D (P < .001, P < .001, P = .008, respectively). VASrest at 48 hours and VASmovement at 12 and 48 hours were lower in Group L when compared to Group K (P = .044, P = .001 and P = .011, respectively). There was no statistically significant difference between Group D compared to the other two groups at these times (P > .05). The requirement of rescue analgesia on postoperative day 1 was significantly higher in Group K (P < .001). Hospital LOS was shorter in Group L than in the other groups (P = .002). CONCLUSIONS IV lidocaine added to multimodal analgesia provided better pain control in the early postoperative period compared to dexmedetomidine and ketamine and decreased the hospital LOS.

Effect of Intravenous Infusion of Lidocaine Compared with Ultrasound-Guided Transverse Abdominal Plane Block on the Quality of Postoperative Recovery in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery. Drug Des Devel Ther 2022; 16:739-748. [PMID: 35340337 PMCID: PMC8956249 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s356880] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2022] [Accepted: 03/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose To investigate the effect of intravenous infusion of lidocaine compared with ultrasound-guided transverse abdominal plane (TAP) block on the quality of postoperative recovery and analgesic effect in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Patients and Methods Ninety-nine ASA II-III patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic bariatric surgery were randomized into the lidocaine group (group L), transverse abdominal plane block group (group T), and control group (group C). Group L: a loading dose of 1.5 mg/kg lidocaine was given at induction, followed by 2 mg·kg-1·h-1 maintenance until the end of surgery. Group T: ultrasound-guided bilateral administration of 0.25% ropivacaine in the transverse abdominal plane was given after induction of general anesthesia. Group C: no additional treatment was performed. Quality of recovery-40 (QoR-40) was assessed at 24 h after surgery. Consumption of propofol and remifentanil, visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores at rest at 0, 6, 12, and 24 h postoperatively, time to return of intestinal function, use of remedial analgesics within 24 h after surgery, adverse reactions were recorded. Results Compared with Group C, Group L and Group T had higher QoR-40 scores at 24 h postoperatively, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.002 and P=0.003, respectively). However, there was no difference between Group L and Group T (P=0.128). In addition, compared with those of Group T and Group C, VAS scores at 12 h and 24 h postoperatively were lower in Group L (P <0.0166). Conclusion Both intravenous infusion of lidocaine and ultrasound-guided TAP block provided good postoperative recovery and postoperative analgesia for patients with bariatric surgery, and intravenous infusion of lidocaine provided better analgesia at 12 h and 24 h postoperatively compared with TAP block.

Abstract
Weight loss (bariatric) surgery is the most commonly performed elective surgical procedure in patients with morbid obesity. In this review, we provide an evidence-based update on perioperative pain management in bariatric anesthesia. We mention some newer preoperative aspects—medical optimization, physical preparation, patient education, and psychosocial factors—that can all improve pain management. In the intraoperative period, with bariatric surgery being almost universally performed laparoscopically, we emphasize the use of non-opioid adjuvant infusions (ketamine, lidocaine, and dexmedetomidine) and suggest some novel regional anesthesia techniques to reduce pain, opioid requirements, and side effects. We discuss some postoperative strategies that additionally focus on patient safety and identify patients at risk of persistent pain and opioid use after bariatric surgery. This review suggests that the use of a structured, step-wise, severity-based, opioid-sparing multimodal analgesic protocol within an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) framework can improve postoperative pain management. Overall, by incorporating all these aspects throughout the perioperative journey ensures improved patient safety and outcomes from pain management in bariatric anesthesia.

Abstract
The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program is now widely applied in bariatric surgeries and other surgical procedures. The ERAS program in bariatric surgery consists of various components similar to that in colorectal surgery or other procedures. The major concept of the ERAS protocol relies on a multidisciplinary and multimodal approach to resolve various problems after surgical treatment. The key principles of the ERAS program in bariatric surgery include patient education, opioid-sparing multimodal pain management, prophylaxis of postoperative nausea and vomiting, goal-directed fluid therapy, and minimizing insulin resistance and catabolism. Several guidelines and studies, including randomized clinical trials and systematic reviews, have advocated for the ERAS program in bariatric surgery, which has consistently shown advantages in shortening hospital stay without increasing morbidity. The systematic application of the ERAS program in bariatric patients results in less pain and early recovery and should be routinely recommended.

Abstract
Uncontrolled postoperative pain and prolonged immobilization after bariatric surgery have been associated with increased postoperative complications and prolonged hospitalization. The aim of our study was to evaluate the postoperative pain that follows bariatric surgery and identify any psychological factors that may affect the early postoperative perception of pain. The study included 100 patients with obesity (women, n = 61; age 37.4 ± 9.9 years, mean ± standard deviation; Body Mass Index (BMI) 47.6 ± 6.5 kg/m2) who underwent bariatric surgery. Preoperative anxiety and depression were evaluated by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the quantitative and qualitative dimension of early postoperative pain were evaluated by the McGill Pain Questionnaire Short Form (MPQ-SF). Furthermore, the postoperative analgesia protocol was recorded for each patient. Pain declined gradually during the first 24 h postoperative. Although preoperative anxiety had no correlation with the overall pain of postoperative Day 0, patients with a higher level of preoperative anxiety had significantly more intense and more unpleasant pain at 1 h post operation. In addition, depression influences both the intensity and unpleasantness of pain at different time points (1 h, 4 h and 24 h postoperative). Preoperative pain correlated with educational level, but not with age, BMI, gender, marital status, smoking and surgery type. In conclusion, preoperative anxiety and depression influence the early postoperative pain after bariatric surgery, and their preoperative identification is of major importance to enhance the implementation of fast-track postoperative protocols to prevent complications and prolonged hospitalization.

Abstract
PURPOSE The current literature is sparse on post discharge pain management for bariatric surgical patients. This study aimed to determine if an opioid-sparing protocol could decrease opioid use during the postoperative period (hospital to home). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we implemented an opioid-sparing protocol in January 2018, for patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) at our institution. We compared recovery time, pain scores (in hospital and at home), and perioperative opioid use between the historic control group (February 2017 to December 2017) and the opioid-sparing group (January 2018 to December 2018). A p value of < .05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The study included 400 patients (200 in each group), and 165 participated in the phone survey. Baseline characteristics were similar, except the control group had a higher body mass index and body weight. The average recovery time was significantly shorter in the opioid-sparing group (18.9 versus 35.3 days, P = .043). There was no significant difference in mean postoperative pain scores in the hospital or at home. The opioid-sparing group required significantly fewer opioids postoperatively (10.4 versus 16.1 morphine milligram equivalents, P < .001). Only 1 out of the 200 patients in the opioid-sparing arm requested an opioid prescription after discharge. CONCLUSION Implementation of an opioid-sparing protocol improved recovery time and reduced postoperative opioid use in the hospital and after discharge without changing perceived pain in patients undergoing LSG.

Abstract
Background: Bariatric surgery is the effective management of obesity; however, postoperative pain is associated with a great morbidity. The management of pain is important for the enhancement of patient recovery. Local anesthetics can be injected during laparoscopic surgery into the peritoneum throughout the ports produced either before the beginning of laparoscopy or before the closure of the wound to reduce postoperative pain. Our aim is to evaluate if there is an additive analgesic effect by the administration of intraperitoneal hydrocortisone with streamed intraperitoneal bupivacaine as a method of postoperative pain relief in laparoscopic bariatric surgeries. Patients and Methods: One hundred patients listed for laparoscopic bariatric surgery were the subject of this study. Patients were randomly allocated into two groups: Group I received 100 mg of 0.5% isobaric bupivacaine plus 20 mL normal saline intraperitoneally and Group II received intraperitoneal 100 mg of 0.5% isobaric bupivacaine + 100 mg hydrocortisone + 20 mL of saline at the end of the laparoscopic procedure. The primary outcome was the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score for pain. The secondary outcomes were the time of first analgesic request, total opioid requirement, heart rate, and mean blood pressure. Results: VAS showed a significant decrease at 4, 6, and 12 h postoperative in Group II compared to Group I. There was a marked decrease in total meperidine requirement with prolonged time of the first analgesic request in Group II compared to Group I. Conclusion: Intraperitoneal hydrocortisone with bupivacaine had improved postoperative pain relief with a decrease in analgesic requirement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been successfully implemented in several surgical fields; however, the application of ERAS in the pediatric population is still limited. OBJECTIVES The aim was to determine if implementation of an ERAS protocol can improve outcomes of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in adolescents. SETTING University Hospital, United States. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 112 adolescent patients who underwent LSG from February 2011 to July 2019 was conducted. An ERAS protocol was instituted in June 2016. Conventional care patients (n = 51) were compared with ERAS patients (n = 61). Comparisons were made using Χ2 tests or Fisher's exact for categoric data and Wilcoxon-rank sum tests for continuous data. Multiple linear regression was used to adjust length of stay for patient characteristics. RESULTS The 2 cohorts were similar in age, sex, race, number of co-morbidities, and preoperative body mass index. The volume of intraoperative fluid, intraoperative and postoperative opioids were significantly reduced in the ERAS group (P < .0001). The number of ERAS elements received per patient increased from a median of 9 to 15 (P < .0001). ERAS group had more discharges on postoperative day 1 (48% versus 6 %, respectively). Length of stay was significantly lower in the ERAS group (2.34 versus 2.04 median d, respectively). Difference was still significant after adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, payor status, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, preoperative body mass index, and the duration of surgery (P < .0001). There were no differences in postoperative complications and 30-day readmissions. CONCLUSIONS An LSG ERAS protocol is associated with significant reduction in perioperative opioid use and length of stay with no increase in complications or readmission rates.

Abstract
The effect of intra-operative intravenous methadone on quality of postoperative recovery was compared with morphine after laparoscopic gastroplasty. We included 137 adult patients with a body mass index > 35 kg.m-2 who underwent bariatric surgery. Patients were allocated at random to receive either intra-operative methadone (n = 69) or morphine (n = 68). All patients received the same postoperative care and analgesia. The primary outcome of postoperative quality of recovery was assessed using the Quality of Recovery-40 questionnaire total score 24 h after surgery. Secondary outcomes were assessed in the post-anaesthesia care unit the night of the day of surgery (T1), in the morning after surgery (T2); and at night on the day following surgery (T3). The median (IQR [range]) total Quality of Recovery-40 questionnaire score of 194 (190-197 [165-200]) was higher (p < 0.0001) in the methadone group compared with the score of 181 (174-185.5 [121-200]) in the morphine group. In the post-anaesthesia care unit, the pain burden; incidence of nausea and vomiting; rescue morphine dose; and time to discharge, were significantly lower in the methadone group. On the ward, the methadone group had a lower: incidence of rescue morphine requests at T1 (5.8 vs. 54.4%, p < 0.0001) and T2 (0 vs. 20.1%, p < 0.0001); and incidence of nausea (21.7 vs. 41.2%, p = 0.014), compared with the morphine group. We conclude that intra-operative intravenous methadone improved quality of recovery in patients who underwent laparoscopic gastroplasty, compared with intra-operative morphine. Methadone also reduced postoperative pain, postoperative opioid consumption and the incidence of opioid-related adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is a complex and multifactorial disease whose incidence has increased, making it a serious public health issue. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the most common surgical procedures that is chosen for bariatric surgery. Decreasing postoperative pain in these patients which will increase patients' compliance and quality of life will lead to better surgical results. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of trocar site infiltration versus bilateral subcostal transversus abdominis plane block (TAP) in controlling postoperative pain in patients. METHODS Forty-five consecutive patients who have undergone LSG in xxx General Surgery Department have been enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to the surgeon's choice. The first group underwent TAP block, while the second group underwent trocar site infiltration. Patients' pain was recorded via visual analogue scale (VAS) in postoperative periods. RESULTS Twenty-nine female (69%) and 13 (31%) male patients were included in the study. Median age was 41 (18-58) and median BMI was 48 (41.1-68). When the VAS values were compared, in the TAPB group, 6th hour resting and coughing pain was statistically significantly less. Other VAS values measured while resting, coughing, and post-mobilization did not show significant differences. There were no significant differences between the groups' tramadol use. CONCLUSIONS After LSG, TAP block and trocar site infiltration yield similar pain control. Due to the faster application and fewer side effects, we concluded that trocar site infiltration should be the intervention of choice in controlling postoperative pain in LSG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Clinical variables affecting anesthetic recovery following transoral robotic surgery (TORS) to resect oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma have not been described. We aimed to explore risk factors associated with prolonged postanesthesia recovery following TORS. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case-control study. SETTING Tertiary referral center, January 2010 to November 2016. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Patients included adults undergoing primary TORS ± neck dissection for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Patients were categorized by phase I recovery time into the "goal" recovery group (75th percentile [lower 3 quartiles], n = 272) and the "prolonged" recovery group (n = 91). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the associations between clinical characteristics and prolonged phase I recovery. RESULTS A total of 363 patients were included. Median (interquartile range) duration of postanesthesia recovery was 1.5 hours (1.0-2.0). Prolonged recovery was associated with isoflurane (odds ratio, 2.83 [95% CI, 1.56-5.14], P < .001), midazolam (2.77 [1.50-5.12], P = .001), and larger opioid doses (1.26 [1.01-1.58] per 10-mg intravenous morphine equivalents, P = .040) and inversely associated with multimodal antiemetic therapy (0.34 [0.15-0.78], P = .011). Prolonged cases had higher rates of postoperative nausea and vomiting (n = 43 [47.2%] vs 86 [31.6%], P = .008), respiratory depression (28 [30.8%] vs 12 [4.4%], P < .001), sedation (Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale < -2; 26 [28.6%] vs 35 [12.9%], P = .001), severe pain (numeric rating score ≥7; 31 [34.4%] vs 45 [17.2%], P = .001), and longer hospital stays (4 vs 3 days, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Several anesthetic factors are associated with anesthesia recovery duration, which may be shortened by efforts to reduce postoperative sedation, severe pain, and nausea/vomiting. Shortened anesthesia recovery time may reduce hospital stay.

There are 85 numbered recommendations that have updated supporting evidence, of which 61 are revised and 12 are new. Noting that there can be multiple recommendation statements within a single numbered recommendation, there are 31 (13%) Grade A, 42 (17%) Grade B, 72 (29%) Grade C, and 101 (41%) Grade D recommendations. There are 858 citations, of which 81 (9.4%) are evidence level (EL) 1 (highest), 562 (65.5%) are EL 2, 72 (8.4%) are EL 3, and 143 (16.7%) are EL 4 (lowest). CONCLUSIONS Bariatric procedures remain a safe and effective intervention for higher-risk patients with obesity. Clinical decision-making should be evidence based within the context of a chronic disease. A team approach to perioperative care is mandatory, with special attention to nutritional and metabolic issues.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The effect of local anesthetic applications to trocar sites on postoperative pain control has been studied many times, and different results have been obtained. We planned a controlled study evaluating the effect of bupivacaine administration and other contributing factors on postoperative pain following sleeve gastrectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy were included in the study. Patients were randomized into two groups according to local application as either a local or non-local group. Also, the patients were grouped separately from local group allocation according to time to first passage of flatus (< 12 h, ≥ 12 h) and duration of surgery (> 50 min, ≤ 50 min). A visual analogue scale (VAS) was performed at 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 h postoperatively. Opioid analgesics (pethidine HCl) were administered if the patient's VAS score was greater than 5. Demographic characteristics, such as age, gender, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and operative time, were recorded. Demographic characteristics and VAS scores were compared between groups. RESULTS A total of 168 patients were included in the study. Of these, 84 patients were included in both of the local and non-local groups. The demographic characteristics between groups were similar. There was no significant difference between groups in terms of VAS scores (p > 0.05). In the analysis according to the time to first passage of flatus, the 48th-hour VAS scores were lower in the early flatus group (p = 0.036). According to the duration of surgery, first flatus was detected earlier, and VAS scores at the 8th and 12th hours were less in the short operation group (p < 0.001, p = 0.005, p = 0.031, respectively). DISCUSSION Although we did not show any effect of local administration of bupivacaine in LSG on pain, we concluded that other factors like duration of surgery and first flatus time have an impact on this issue.

Risk Factors for Moderate to Severe Pain during the First 24 Hours after Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery While Receiving Intravenous Patient-Controlled Analgesia. Anesthesiol Res Pract 2019; 2019:6593736. [PMID: 31687018 PMCID: PMC6794962 DOI: 10.1155/2019/6593736] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2019] [Revised: 06/25/2019] [Accepted: 08/09/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To investigate the incidence of and risk factors for moderate to severe pain during the first 24 hours after laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included morbidly obese patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass at a single institution between June 2016 and July 2018. Demographic, clinical, operative, and postoperative pain data from the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) and ward were analyzed. Intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) was commenced before PACU discharge. Results Ninety-seven patients were included. The mean age was 38.60 ± 12.27 years, and the mean BMI was 45.04 ± 8.42 kg/m2, and 69% were female. The incidence of moderate to severe pain was 75%. Moderate to severe pain during the first 24 hours was associated with young age, female sex, postoperative administration of NSAIDs, first pain score greater than 3 on arrival at the PACU, and inadequate pain control at PACU discharge. A multivariate analysis revealed that inadequate pain control at PACU discharge was the only factor independently associated with moderate to severe pain during the first 24 hours postoperatively (p=0.011). From PACU discharge to the end of postoperative day 3, moderate to severe pain at the end of each 24-hour period was a significant predictor of moderate to severe pain in the subsequent 24-hour period (p=0.011, p < 0.001, and p=0.004, respectively). Conclusions Moderate to severe pain was experienced by 75% of patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery and receiving IV-PCA after PACU discharge. Inadequate pain control at PACU discharge was the only independent risk factor for moderate to severe pain during the first 24 hours postoperatively.

Abstract
Background: Opiate-based pain medications may incur adverse effects following bariatric surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous Acetaminophen (IVAPAP) on length of stay (LOS) after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) surgery. Methods: This was a prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial conducted from October 2011 to March 2014 at a 416-bed teaching hospital. Eighty-nine total patients were included (control group, n = 45; treatment group, n = 44). Patients were administered either 1000 mg of IVAPAP or placebo every 6 h beginning preoperatively and continuing for four doses. LOS, total narcotic consumption, pain and nausea scores, time to return of flatus (ROF), and postoperative rescue pain medication used were measured during the first 24 h after surgery. Results: LOS was significantly decreased in the treatment group compared with control (2.72 days vs. 3.18 days; p = 0.03). There was significant reduction in time to ROF (1.87 days vs. 2.24 days; p = 0.04). Pain was significantly decreased in the first 2 postoperative hours in the treatment group (p = 0.02). Total opioid consumption, postoperative nausea scores, and use of rescue pain medications were not affected. Conclusions: The use of IVAPAP significantly decreases LOS following LRYGB, improves acute postoperative pain control, and mediates quicker return of bowel function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the most commonly performed procedures for the treatment of obesity. Patients with obesity are more prone to experience opioid-related adverse events (ORAE). OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to determine if a multimodal analgesia protocol (MAP) reduces ORAE and provides effective pain relief for patients after LSG. SETTING This study was conducted at University Hospital, Singapore. METHODS The MAP consists of mandatory pre-operative etoricoxib, intra-operative acetaminophen, and post-operative acetaminophen with optional post-operative tramadol. We identified and collected data for patients who underwent LSG between May 2010 and November 2015 and compared patients before and after the implementation of the MAP. RESULTS One hundred fifty-eight patients were included and 68 patients were treated with the MAP. There were no differences in age, gender, body mass index, ethnicity, or comorbidities between the two groups except for the incidence of hypertension (p = 0.015). There was a significant reduction in the incidence of ORAE from 33.3 to 8.8% (p < 0.001) after the implementation of the MAP. There was also a significant reduction in the use of opioids intra-operatively from 58.2 to 43.6 mg (p < 0.001) and post-operatively from 23.7 to 0.7 mg (p < 0.001). Pain scores were similar at 1, 6, and 48 post-operatively, while pain scores were significantly reduced at 12 (p = 0.033) and 24 h (p = 0.02) post-operatively. Multivariate analysis showed that these results remained significant. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that a MAP reduces ORAE and provides effective pain relief for patients undergoing LSG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The indications for sleeve gastrectomy as a primary procedure for the surgical treatment of morbid obesity have increased worldwide. Pain is the most common complaint for patients on the first day after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. There are various methods for decreasing pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy such as the use of intraperitoneal bupivacaine hydrochloride. This clinical trial was an attempt to discover the effects of intraperitoneal bupivacaine hydrochloride on alleviating postoperative pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. METHODS In general, 120 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled. Patients were randomly allocated into two interventions and control groups using a balanced block randomization technique. One group received intraperitoneal bupivacaine hydrochloride (30 cm3), and the other group served as the control one and did not receive bupivacaine hydrochloride. Diclofenac suppository and paracetamol injection were administered to both groups for postoperative pain management. RESULTS The mean subjective postoperative pain score was significantly decreased in patients who received intraperitoneal bupivacaine hydrochloride within the first 24 h after the surgery; thus, the instillation of bupivacaine hydrochloride was beneficial in managing postoperative pain. CONCLUSIONS The intraoperative peritoneal irrigation of bupivacaine hydrochloride (30 cm3, 0.25%) in sleeve gastrectomy patients was safe and effective in reducing postoperative pain, nausea, and vomiting (IRCT2016120329181N4).

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent and presents perioperative challenges. There are guidelines regarding perioperative care of OSA, but analgesia management of OSA patients is inconsistent or inadequate. This is a study of the United Kingdom anesthesiologists’ postoperative analgesia preferences for OSA patients. Overall, the 1st choice of main analgesia was continuous epidural local anesthetic (LA) without opioid, at 30% rate; P = 0.001. The 2nd choice was continuous epidural LA plus fentanyl, at 21% rate; P = 0.001. The 3rd choice was intrathecal diamorphine, at 19% rate; P = 0.001. The 4th choice was nerve block catheter LA infusion, at 13% rate; P = 0.001. The 5th choice was wound infiltration with LA ± epinephrine, at 8% rate; P = 0.001. The 6th choice was systemic opioid, at 7% rate; P = 0.007. The 7th choice was systemic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, at 2% rate; P = 0.001. The hospital setting or anesthesiologists’ experience did not significantly impact analgesia choice: P =0.411. This study shows that current practice by anesthesiologists has a preference for regional or opioid-sparing analgesia for OSA patients. This safe approach conforms to guidelines and should be encouraged.
