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
Background/Objectives: Managing postoperative pain in patients with obesity is challenging. Although using a combination of pain relief methods is recommended for these patients, the true effectiveness of various intravenous non-opioid analgesics and adjuvants in multimodal anesthesia needs to be better defined. Methods: A systematic review and network meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), acetaminophen, ketamine, α-2 agonists, lidocaine, magnesium, and oral gabapentinoids in adult surgical patients with obesity. The analysis aimed to compare these treatments to a placebo/no treatment or alternative analgesics, with a primary focus on postoperative pain and secondary endpoints including rescue analgesia, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and recovery quality. English-language randomized controlled trials across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, and EMBASE were considered. Quality and evidence certainty were assessed with the RoB 2 tool and GRADE, and data was analyzed with R software. Results: NSAIDs, along with acetaminophen, lidocaine, α-2 agonists, ketamine, and oral gabapentinoids, effectively reduce early postoperative pain. NSAIDs, particularly ibuprofen, as well as acetaminophen, ketamine, and lidocaine, also show benefits in later postoperative stages. Intravenous non-opioid analgesics and adjuvants show some degree of benefit in reducing PONV and the need for rescue analgesic therapy when using α-2 agonists alone or combined with oral gabapentinoids, notably decreasing the likelihood of PONV. Ketamine, lidocaine, and α-2 agonists are shown to enhance postoperative recovery and care quality. Conclusions: Intravenous non-opioid analgesics and adjuvants are valuable in multimodal anesthesia for pain management in adult surgical patients suffering from obesity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of esketamine on postoperative recovery quality after laparoscopic bariatric surgery. METHODS Patients (n = 74) scheduled for laparoscopic bariatric surgery were randomly divided into two groups: the esketamine group (group E: 0.5 mg/kg/h infusion, i.e., 0.2 mL/kg/h) or the control group (group C: 0.2 mL/kg/h normal saline infusion). The infusions were stopped 20 min before the end of the procedure. The primary outcome was the Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) score on postoperative day 1 (POD 1). The secondary outcomes included QoR-40 scores on PODs 2 and 7, Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) on PODs 1, 2, and 7, time to extubation, additional postoperative analgesic use, length of hospital stay, and time to first exhaust. Additonally, the safety indices were also recorded, including hemodynamic profile, perioperative anesthesia index (Ai), utilization of vasoactive drugs or urapidil, and side effects. RESULTS All in all, 70 of the 74 patients completed the study, 35 in each group. The difference of QoR-40 scores on POD 1 was both statistically and clinically significant [difference 7.21, 95% confidence interval (CI) 5.17, 9.25, p < 0.001]. The difference of QoR-40 on POD 2 was statistically significant but clinically insignificant (difference 4.81, 95% CI 2.69, 6.92, p < 0.001). The difference of NRS scores on POD 1 was statistically significant (difference -1.23, 95% CI -2.36, -0.10, p = 0.033). Compared with group C, group E had a lower utilization rate of phenylephrine and higher Ai values (p < 0.05). There was no statistical difference between the two groups on other measures. CONCLUSION Continuous ketamine infusion seems to be safe and well tolerated in laparoscopic bariatric surgery. It improved the quality of postoperative recovery and reduced pain on POD 1. In spite of the increased Ai value during the surgery, it also provided better hemodynamics with less usage of phenylephrine.

Surg Endosc 2023:10.1007/s00464-023-10027-8. [PMID: 37017770 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-023-10027-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/12/2023] [Indexed: 04/06/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Enhanced recovery after bariatric surgery pathways are associated with improved postoperative outcomes. This study aims to assess efficacy and safety of three novel protocol contributions (transversus abdominis plane blocks, ketamine and fosaprepitant), as well as their impact on length of stay (LOS) and on postoperative complications. METHODS Effectiveness and safety were retrospectively investigated in patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG) over a 6-year period in a single institution. Group 1 patients were not exposed to any of our suggested interventions, whereas Group 2 were exposed to all of three. RESULTS Between January 2015 and August 2021, 1480 patients underwent primary SG (77.6%) or RYGB (22.4%); of those, 1132 (76.5%) and 348 (23.5%) were in Groups 1 and 2, respectively. Mean BMI and age were 45.87 versus 43.65 kg/m2 and 45.53 versus 44.99 years in groups 1 and 2, respectively. Suggested interventions were associated with lower operative times (84.79 ± 24.21 vs. 80.78 ± 32.8 min, p = 0.025). In Group 2, the mean LOS decreased in 0.18 day (1.79 ± 1.04 vs. 1.60 ± 0.90; p = 0.004). Overall complication rates were 8% and 8.6% for groups 1 and 2, respectively; readmission rates were 5.7% (64 pts) vs. 7.2% (25 pts), p > 0.05. Reoperations were less prevalent in Group 2 (1.5% vs. 1.1%; p = 0.79). CONCLUSION Focus on optimized pain management, allied to a superior PONV control, may be relevant contributors for a lower LOS without negative impacts in complications rates.

Analgesic efficacy and risk of low-to-medium dose intrathecal morphine in patients undergoing cardiac surgery: An updated meta-analysis. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:1017676. [PMID: 36275818 PMCID: PMC9581243 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.1017676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background To evaluate the analgesic efficacy and risk of low-to-medium dose intrathecal morphine (ITM) (i.e., ≤0.5 mg) following cardiac surgery. Methods Medline, Cochrane Library, Google scholar and EMBASE databases were searched from inception to February 2022. The primary outcome was pain intensity at postoperative 24 h, while the secondary outcomes included intravenous morphine consumption (IMC), extubation time, hospital/intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), and ITM-associated side effects (e.g., respiratory depression). Subgroup analysis was performed on ITM dosage (low: <0.3 mg vs. medium: 0.3–0.5 mg). Results Fifteen RCTs involving 683 patients published from 1988 to 2021 were included. Pooled results showed significantly lower postoperative 24-h pain scores [mean difference (MD) = −1.61, 95% confidence interval: −1.98 to −1.24, p < 0.00001; trial sequential analysis: sufficient evidence; certainty of evidence: moderate] in the ITM group compared to the controls. Similar positive findings were noted at 12 (MD = −2.1) and 48 h (MD = −1.88). Use of ITM was also associated with lower IMC at 24 and 48 h (MD: −13.69 and −14.57 mg, respectively; all p < 0.05) and early tracheal extubation (i.e., 48.08 min). No difference was noted in hospital/ICU LOS, and nausea/vomiting in both groups, but patients receiving ITM had higher risk of pruritus (relative risk = 2.88, p = 0.008). There was no subgroup difference in IMC except a lower pain score with 0.3–0.5 mg than <0.3 mg at postoperative 24 h. Respiratory depression events were not noted in the ITM group. Conclusion Our results validated the analgesic efficacy of low-to-medium dose ITM for patients receiving cardiac surgery without increasing the risk of respiratory depression.

Impact of Opioid-Free Anesthesia on Analgesia and Recovery Following Bariatric Surgery: a Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Studies. Obes Surg 2022; 32:3113-3124. [PMID: 35854095 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-022-06213-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 10/17/2022]
Abstract
This meta-analysis aimed at exploring the impact of opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) on pain score and opioid consumption in patients undergoing bariatric surgery (BS). Literature search identified eight eligible trials. Forest plot revealed a significantly lower pain score (mean difference (MD) = - 0.96, p = 0.0002; 318 patients), but not morphine consumption (MD = - 5.85 mg, p = 0.1; 318 patients) at postoperative 24 h in patients with OFA than in those without. Pooled analysis also showed a lower pain score (p = 0.002), morphine consumption (p = 0.0003) in the postanesthetic care unit, and risk of postoperative nausea/vomiting (p = 0.0003) in the OFA group compared to the controls. In conclusion, this meta-analysis demonstrated that opioid-free anesthesia improved pain outcomes immediately and at 24 h after surgery without a beneficial impact on opioid consumption at postoperative 24 h. KEY POINTS: • Roles of opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) in bariatric surgery (BS) were investigated. • Outcomes included postoperative pain score, opioid use, and nausea/vomiting risk. • OFA was associated with lower 24-h pain score but not opioid consumption. • Lower pain score and opioid consumption were noted in the postanesthetic care unit. • OFA correlated with a lower risk of postoperative nausea/vomiting.

Abstract
This meta-analysis investigated the effect of oral gabapentinoids (i.e., pregabalin and gabapentin) on analgesic consumption (i.e., primary outcome) and pain relief (i.e., secondary outcome) in patients following bariatric surgery. Analysis of five eligible trials published between 2010 and 2019 including 363 participants receiving gabapentinoids revealed a significantly lower morphine consumption [mean difference (MD) = - 15.1 mg, p = 0.004; evidence certainty: low] and risk of nausea/vomiting [risk ratio (RR) = 0.49, p = 0.002; evidence certainty: high] at postoperative 6-24 h. There was also a lower pain score at postoperative 0-4 h (MD = - 1.41, p < 0.00001; evidence certainty: low) and 6-12 h (MD = - 0.9, p = 0.007; evidence certainty: low) compared with controls, while pain severity at postoperative 24 h was comparable between two groups. In summary, preoperative oral gabapentinoids optimized postoperative pain outcomes and reduced risk of nausea/vomiting following bariatric surgery.

Considerations for Better Management of Postoperative Pain in Light of Chronic Postoperative Pain: A Narrative Review. Cureus 2022; 14:e23763.

Abstract
Chronic postoperative pain (CPOP) is prevalent, with particularly high rates in breast surgery, thoracotomy, and amputation. As the world emerges from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdowns, it is expected that there will be an increase in surgical procedures, elevating the importance of preventing CPOP in the coming years. Risk factors are emerging to better stratify patients at high risk for CPOP. Perioperative analgesia plays an important role in managing acute postoperative pain and in some cases may limit its transition to CPOP. Acute postoperative pain is adaptive, normal, expected, and has a well-defined trajectory, while CPOP is maladaptive and, as a form of chronic pain, is challenging to treat. Good analgesia, early ambulation, and rehabilitation efforts may be helpful in preventing CPOP following certain surgeries. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols present guidance to help promote recovery and prevent CPOP.

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.
