Zhu X, Ye W, Chen J, Xiao J, Zhao W. Comparative retrospective review of perioperative analgesia using ultrasound-guided programmed intermittent erector spinae plane block for video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy. BMC Anesthesiol 2023; 23:370. [PMID: 37950148 PMCID: PMC10638794 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-023-02338-z] [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: 07/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The retrospective cohort study was conducted to estimate the opioid-sparing anesthesia and limited side-effects with ultrasound (US)-guided ESPB using programmed intermittent bolus (PIB) or continuous infusion (CI) and standard opioid-based anesthesia in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy (VATS). METHODS Patients underwent VATS were stratified into either control group or one of the two ESPB groups in a 1:2:2 ratio depending on whether PIB was implemented or not. The primary endpoint was intra- and post-operative opioids consumption over the first 48 h following surgery. RESULTS A total of 180 cases were included in the analysis. Cumulative perioperative opioid administration was found to be significantly different between PIB, CI and control group (both p < 0.001), and between PIB and CI group (p = 0.028). More specifically, the mean was 305.30 ± 51.35 mg, 339.68 ± 56.07 mg and 468.91 ± 79.84 mg in PIB, CI and control group. NRS scores at rest across all postoperative times were comparable in two ESPB groups, while significantly lower than control group, however, scores during exercising at postoperative 3, 6, 12 h were significantly lower in PIB group as compared to CI group. A wider anesthetized dermatomes with PIB was observed at 6, 24 and 48 h as opposed to the CI. The mean of levobupivacaine plasma concentration was significantly lower for PIB at postoperative 0.5, 12, 24 and 48 h after initiation than CI. However, local anesthetic toxicity was not observed in any of the two ESPB groups. CONCLUSIONS When US-guided ESPB using PIB was performed preoperatively, it contributed to the minimization of intra- and post-operative opioid consumption due to better analgesia with a wider anesthetic dermatome opposed to conventional CI, whereas, it was also associated with lower risk of local anesthetic toxicity because of lower plasma concentration of levobupivacaine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Over the past decade, ECMO has provided temporary cardiopulmonary support to an increasing number of patients, but the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to provide temporary respiratory and circulatory support to adult patients with malignancy remains controversial. OBJECTIVES This paper reviews the specific use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in oncology patients. METHODS We searched PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases for studies on the use of ECMO in cancer patients between 1998 and 2022. Twenty-four retrospective, prospective, and case reports were included. The primary outcome was survival during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. RESULTS Most studies suggest that ECMO can be used in oncology patients requiring life support during surgery, solid tumor patients with respiratory failure, and hematological tumor patients requiring ECOM as a supportive means of chemotherapy; however, in patients with hematologic oncology undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, there was no clear benefit after the use of ECMO. CONCLUSION Current research suggests that ECMO may be considered as a salvage support in specific cancer patients. Future studies should include larger sample sizes than those already conducted, including studies on efficacy, adverse events, and health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is difficult and risky for patients with a single lung to undergo thoracoscopic segmental pneumonectomy, and previous reports of related cases are rare. We introduce anesthesia for Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-assisted thoracoscopic lower lobe subsegmental resection in a patient with a single left lung.
CASE SUMMARY The patient underwent comprehensive treatment for synovial sarcoma of the right lung and nodules in the lower lobe of the left lung. Examination showed pulmonary function that had severe restrictive ventilation disorder, forced expiratory volume in 1 second of 0.72 L (27.8%), forced vital capacity of 1.0 L (33%), and maximal voluntary ventilation of 33.9 L (35.5%). Lung computed tomography showed a nodular shadow in the lower lobe of the left lung, and lung metastasis was considered. After multidisciplinary consultation and adequate preoperative preparation, thoracoscopic left lower lung lobe S9bii+S10bii combined subsegmental resection was performed with the assistance of total intravenous anesthesia and ECMO intraoperative pulmonary protective ventilation. The patient received postoperative ICU supportive care. After surgical treatment, the patient was successfully withdrawn from ECMO on postoperative Day 1. The tracheal tube was removed on postoperative Day 4, and she was discharged from the hospital on postoperative Day 15.
CONCLUSION The multi-disciplinary treatment provided maximum medical optimization for surgical anesthesia and veno-venous ECMO which provided adequate protection for the patient's perioperative treatment.

Abstract
The use of extracorporeal lung support (ECLS) during thoracic surgery is a recent concept that has been gaining increasing approval. Firstly introduced for lung transplantation, this technique is now increasingly adopted also in oncological thoracic surgical procedures. In this review, we focus on the cutting-edge application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during oncological thoracic surgery. Therefore, we report the most common surgical procedures in oncological thoracic surgery that can benefit from the use of ECMO. They will be classified and discussed according to the aim of ECMO application. In particular, the use of ECMO is usually limited to certain lung surgery procedures that can be resumed such as in procedures in which an adequate ventilation is not possible such as in single lung patients, procedures where conventional ventilation can cause conflict with the surgical field such as tracheal or carinal surgery, and conventional procedures requiring both ventilators and hemodynamic support. So far, all available evidence comes from centers with large experience in ECMO and major thoracic surgery procedures.

Dexamethasone Alleviates Myocardial Injury in a Rat Model of Acute Myocardial Infarction Supported by Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. Front Public Health 2022; 10:900751. [PMID: 35928492 PMCID: PMC9343845 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.900751] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Myocardial ischemia causes myocardial inflammation. Research indicates that the venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) provides cardiac support; however, the inflammatory response caused by myocardial ischemia remains unresolved. Dexamethasone (Dex), a broad anti-inflammatory agent, exhibits a cardioprotective effect. This study aims to investigate the effect of Dex on a rat model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) supported by VA ECMO. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (300–350 g) were randomly divided into three groups: Sham group (n = 5), ECMO group (n = 6), and ECMO + Dex group (n = 6). AMI was induced by ligating the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. Sham group only thoracotomy was performed but LAD was not ligated. The ECMO and ECMO + Dex groups were subjected to 1 h of AMI and 2 h of VA ECMO. In the ECMO + Dex group, Dex (0.2 mg/kg) was intravenously injected into the rats after 1 h of AMI. Lastly, myocardial tissue and blood samples were harvested for further evaluation. The ECMO + Dex group significantly reduced infarct size and levels of cTnI, cTnT, and CK-MB. Apoptotic cells and the expression levels of Bax, Caspase3, and Cle-Caspase3 proteins were markedly lower in the ECMO + Dex group than that in the ECMO group. Neutrophil and macrophage infiltration was lower in the ECMO + Dex group than in the ECMO group. A significant reduction was noted in ICAM-1, C5a, MMP-9, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. In summary, our findings revealed that Dex alleviates myocardial injury in a rat model of AMI supported by VA ECMO.
