Efficacy of parasternal peripheral nerve catheters versus no block for median sternotomy: a single-centre retrospective study. BJA OPEN 2024; 11:100288. [PMID: 39007154 PMCID: PMC11245929 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjao.2024.100288] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
Background Sternal pain after cardiac surgery results in considerable discomfort. Single-injection parasternal fascial plane blocks have been shown to reduce pain scores and opioid consumption during the first 24 h after surgery, but the efficacy of continuous infusion has not been evaluated. This retrospective cohort study examined the effect of a continuous infusion of local anaesthetic through parasternal catheters on the integrated Pain Intensity and Opioid Consumption (PIOC) score up to 72 h. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing cardiac surgery with median sternotomy at a single academic centre before and after the addition of parasternal nerve catheters to a standard multimodal analgesic protocol. Outcomes included PIOC score, total opioid consumption in oral morphine equivalents, and time-weighted area under the curve pain scores up to 72 h after surgery. Results Continuous infusion of ropivacaine 0.1% through parasternal catheters resulted in a significant reduction in PIOC scores at 24 h (-62, 95% confidence interval -108 to -16; P<0.01) and 48 h (-50, 95% CI -97 to -2.2; P=0.04) compared with no block. A significant reduction in opioid consumption up to 72 h was the primary factor in reduction of PIOC. Conclusions This study suggests that continuous infusion of local anaesthetic through parasternal catheters may be a useful addition to a multimodal analgesic protocol in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with sternotomy. Further prospective study is warranted to determine the full benefits of continuous infusion compared with single injection or no block.

Comparison of the Effects of Adductor Canal and Femoral Nerve Blocks on Postoperative Opioid Consumption and Inflammatory Factor Levels in Elderly Patients After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective Observational Study. J Pain Res 2024; 17:2375-2391. [PMID: 39011277 PMCID: PMC11249107 DOI: 10.2147/jpr.s463097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a highly invasive procedure causing severe postoperative pain, which hampers early mobility. Effective pain management is crucial for optimal recovery. This study aimed to evaluate how adductor canal block (ACB) and femoral nerve block (FNB) affect opioid use and inflammation factor levels in elderly TKA patients. Methods This prospective observational study included 120 patients who received TKA, and divided them into three groups, based on the different nerve block technique: ACB, FNB, and no intervention before general anesthesia (CON). Postoperative opioid consumption, pain assessment, inflammation factor, knee function recovery and other clinical indicators were recorded. Results The CON group had significantly higher cumulative sufentanil consumption compared to the ACB and FNB groups at both 12 h and 48h postoperative (P<0.001). Compared with the CON group, the ACB and FNB groups persistently had lower pain scores until 12 h at rest and 24 h during motion after surgery. The ACB group showed significantly lower serum concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) compared to the CON group at 24 h postoperative (P=0.017, P=0.009), and IL-6 levels remained significantly lower at 72 h postoperative (P=0.005). Both ACB and FNB groups achieved earlier ambulation compared to the CON group (P=0.002). On the first day postoperative, both the ACB and FNB groups showed significantly better knee motion (P<0.001), quadriceps strength (P<0.001), and daily mobilization (P<0.001) compared to the CON group. Additionally, the ACB group exhibited superior quadriceps strength (P<0.001) and daily mobilization (P<0.001) compared to the FNB group. Conclusion The ACB and FNB groups exhibited comparable clinical efficacy outcomes in terms of pain scores and opioid consumption. However, the ACB group experienced reduced postoperative inflammation and improved knee recovery, especially in quadriceps strength.

Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2024; 17:2243-2257.

Abstract
Background Perioperative anesthetic management of patients with diabetic foot undergoing surgical treatment is challenging due to their poor cardiovascular health status. According to previous literature, general anesthesia and peripheral nerve block have their own advantages and disadvantages for such patients. We reported the effect of these two anesthesia techniques on perioperative hemodynamics and prognosis in these patients. Methods This study employed a prospective randomized controlled design, where patients meeting the inclusion criteria were assigned to two groups: the general anesthesia group (GA group) and the peripheral nerve block group (PNB group). The primary outcomes were the differences in intraoperative hemodynamic stability and the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups. The second outcomes were postoperative numerical rating scale scores, analgesic drug remedies, postoperative sleep conditions monitored by sleep bracelets and health status assessed by EQ-5D-5 L scores. Results One hundred and nine subjects were enrolled in this study, including 54 in the GA group and 55 in the PNB group. The baseline parameters of the two groups were comparable. The GA group exhibited a significantly higher incidence of hypotension, and Colloid intake and total fluid intake were significantly higher in the GA group than in the PNB group. Additionally, a larger proportion of patients in the GA group. The scores of postoperative pain during the 48 hours after surgery were significantly higher, and more patients needed tramadol for postoperative analgesia during the 24 h after surgery in the GA group than in the PNB group. Patients in the PNB group slept better, first feeding time, earlier out-of-bed activity and earlier discharge from the hospital, compared to the GA group. However, there was no obvious difference in postoperative complications between the two groups except pharyngeal pain. Conclusion Peripheral nerve block is a better option in patients with diabetes undergoing elective below-knee surgery than general anesthesia.

Abstract
Postoperative pain (POP) is a major clinical challenge. Local anesthetics (LAs), including amide-type LAs, ester-type LAs, and other potential ion-channel blockers, are emerging as drugs for POP management because of their effectiveness and affordability. However, LAs typically exhibit short durations of action and prolonging the duration by increasing their dosage or concentration may increase the risk of motor block or systemic local anesthetic toxicity. In addition, techniques using LAs, such as intrathecal infusion, require professional operation and are prone to catheter displacement, dislodgement, infection, and nerve damage. With the development of materials science and nanotechnology, various LAs delivery systems have been developed to compensate for these disadvantages. Numerous delivery systems have been designed to continuously release a safe dose in a single administration to ensure minimal systemic toxicity and prolong pain relief. LAs delivery systems can also be designed to control the duration and intensity of analgesia according to changes in the external trigger conditions, achieve on-demand analgesia, and significantly improve pain relief and patient satisfaction. In this review, we summarize POP pathways, animal models and methods for POP testing, and highlight LAs delivery systems for POP management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The trauma mortality rate is higher in the elderly compared with younger patients. Ageing is associated with physiological changes in multiple systems and correlated with frailty. Frailty is a risk factor for mortality in elderly trauma patients. We aim to provide evidence-based guidelines for the management of geriatric trauma patients to improve it and reduce futile procedures. METHODS Six working groups of expert acute care and trauma surgeons reviewed extensively the literature according to the topic and the PICO question assigned. Statements and recommendations were assessed according to the GRADE methodology and approved by a consensus of experts in the field at the 10th international congress of the WSES in 2023. RESULTS The management of elderly trauma patients requires knowledge of ageing physiology, a focused triage, including drug history, frailty assessment, nutritional status, and early activation of trauma protocol to improve outcomes. Acute trauma pain in the elderly has to be managed in a multimodal analgesic approach, to avoid side effects of opioid use. Antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended in penetrating (abdominal, thoracic) trauma, in severely burned and in open fractures elderly patients to decrease septic complications. Antibiotics are not recommended in blunt trauma in the absence of signs of sepsis and septic shock. Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis with LMWH or UFH should be administrated as soon as possible in high and moderate-risk elderly trauma patients according to the renal function, weight of the patient and bleeding risk. A palliative care team should be involved as soon as possible to discuss the end of life in a multidisciplinary approach considering the patient's directives, family feelings and representatives' desires, and all decisions should be shared. CONCLUSIONS The management of elderly trauma patients requires knowledge of ageing physiology, a focused triage based on assessing frailty and early activation of trauma protocol to improve outcomes. Geriatric Intensive Care Units are needed to care for elderly and frail trauma patients in a multidisciplinary approach to decrease mortality and improve outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose Rebound pain after regional anesthesia, a common phenomenon when the analgesic effect wears off, has been recognized in the last a few years. The aim of this study is to analyze the status and tendency of this area in a macroscopic perspective. Methods Bibliometric analysis is the primary methodology of this study. Literature retrieval was conducted in Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection. WoS, Excel, VOSviewer and CiteSpace were employed to do the analyses and visualization. Parameters were analyzed, such as publications, citations, journals, and keywords, etc. Results In total, 70 articles in the past 10 years were identified eligible. Most articles (14 pieces) were published in 2021, followed by 2022 and 2023 with 13 articles. Researchers come from 134 institutions and 20 countries. Huang Jung-Taek, Hallym College, and USA are the most productive author, institution and country, respectively. The articles were mainly published on the top journals of anesthesiology, orthopedics and surgery. The topic of these articles is primarily about the clinical issues of rebound pain. Peripheral nerve block, brachial plexus block and femoral nerve block are the activist keywords in the area, while perioperative management, fracture surgery and outcome may become hotpots in the next years. Conclusion Our results show that the study of rebound pain after regional anesthesia starts relatively late and is in upward tendency, future studies can focus on the perioperative management and outcomes of fracture patients, and the definition and mechanism of rebound pain after regional anesthesia.

Prophylactic dexamethasone for rebound pain after peripheral nerve block in adult surgical patients: systematic review, meta-analysis, and trial sequential analysis of randomised controlled trials. Br J Anaesth 2024; 132:1112-1121. [PMID: 38501226 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2023.09.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2023] [Revised: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 03/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rebound pain occurs after the resolution of peripheral nerve block and hampers patient recovery in the postoperative period. We sought to synthesise available data from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy of prophylactic dexamethasone for rebound pain in adult patients undergoing surgery with a peripheral nerve block. METHODS In this systematic review and meta-analysis, RCTs reporting rebound pain and use of dexamethasone in the context of a peripheral nerve block were searched in various databases and updated in May 2023. The primary outcome was the incidence of rebound pain; secondary outcomes included the severity and time to onset of rebound pain, patient satisfaction with pain control, sleep disturbance because of pain, and adverse effects of dexamethasone. Subgroup analysis was conducted based on the effect of route of administration (intravenous or perineural) on the incidence of rebound pain. Trial sequential analysis was performed to rule out the possibility of a false positive result. RESULTS Seven RCTs comprising 574 patients were included in this review. The dexamethasone group was associated with a reduction in the incidence of rebound pain with an odds ratio of 0.16 (95% confidence interval 0.10-0.27, P=0.00, I2=0%) compared with the control group. Trial sequential analysis confirmed the adequate information size for the beneficial effect of dexamethasone. Subgroup analysis showed that both intravenous and perineural administration were associated with a significant reduction in the incidence of rebound pain. CONCLUSIONS Current evidence suggests that both intravenous and perineural dexamethasone reduce the incidence of rebound pain after a peripheral nerve block provided for postoperative analgesia.

Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg 2024:10.1007/s00068-024-02523-w. [PMID: 38649528 DOI: 10.1007/s00068-024-02523-w] [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: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Trauma, particularly extremity trauma, poses a considerable challenge in healthcare, especially among young adults. Given the severity of patient pain and the risks associated with excessive opioid use, managing acute pain in trauma centers is inherently complex. This study aims to investigate the application and benefits of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for early pain management in patients with extremity trauma positioned supine. METHODS A comprehensive literature review was conducted to assess the effectiveness and advantages of ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks in the acute pain management of extremity trauma patients in the supine position. Special emphasis was placed on evaluating the selection criteria, indications, contraindications, adverse reactions, and potential complications associated with these nerve block techniques. RESULTS Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks represent a safer and more precise option for managing pain in extremity trauma patients placed in the supine position. These techniques offer significant advantages in terms of reducing healthcare expenses, diminishing reliance on opioid medications, and mitigating opioid-related complications. Nonetheless, challenges may arise due to the necessity for patient cooperation during specific nerve block procedures. CONCLUSION Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks present a promising avenue for early pain management in extremity trauma patients positioned supinely. Their implementation can lead to improved patient outcomes by alleviating pain severity, reducing opioid consumption, and cutting down healthcare costs. Further research and clinical integration of these techniques is imperative to enhance pain management protocols in trauma centers.

Heliyon 2024; 10:e28304. [PMID: 38571656 PMCID: PMC10988014 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e28304] [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: 12/16/2023] [Revised: 03/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to assess whether intravenous dexamethasone was noninferior to perineural dexamethasone as an adjuvant to ropivacaine for a combination of saphenous and sciatic nerve blocks in patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery. Methods This was a prospective, blinded, randomized noninferiority study. Seventy-five patients, aged 18-75 years, with an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III who underwent foot and ankle surgery were involved. Patients scheduled for ultrasound-guided popliteal sciatic nerve block and saphenous nerve block were randomized to receive 0.375% ropivacaine with 7.5 mg of dexamethasone perineurally (Dex-PN), 10 mg of dexamethasone intravenously (Dex-IV) or neither (Placebo). The primary outcome was the duration of analgesia. The major secondary outcomes were the composite pain intensity and opioid consumption score at 0-48 h intervals after anesthesia. Results The mean analgesic duration was 26.2 h in the Dex-IV group and 27.9 h in the Dex-PN group (duration difference, -1.7; 95% CI, -3.8 to 0.43; P = 0.117), and both durations were significantly longer than that in the placebo group (17.6 h, P < 0.001). Conditions for establishing non-inferiority were met. Conclusions Our findings indicate that a single 10-mg intravenous dose of dexamethasone was noninferior to the combined dose of ropivacaine plus deaxmethasone in terms of duration of analgesia for foot and ankle surgery.

Rebound pain and postoperative pain profile following brachial plexus block compared to general anaesthesia-An observational study. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2023; 67:1414-1422. [PMID: 37642227 DOI: 10.1111/aas.14318] [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: 03/17/2023] [Revised: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Regional anaesthesia has the benefit of reducing the need for systemic analgesia and therefore, potentially reducing undesired side effects. With the end of the sensory nerve block however, many patients report severe pain that requires therapy with opioids and often compromise the initial opioid sparing effect. This study aimed to characterise the postoperative pain profile and the phenomenon of rebound pain after axillary brachial plexus anaesthesia (RA) compared to general anaesthesia (GA). DESIGN Single-centre observational, stratified cohort study. SETTING The study was conducted at University Hospital Marburg from May 2020 until September 2022. PARTICIPANTS One hundred thirty-two patients receiving elective hand and forearm surgery were enrolled in this study. INTERVENTIONS Group RA received ultrasound-guided brachial plexus anaesthesia via the axillary approach with 30 mL of prilocaine 1% and 10 mL ropivacaine 0.2%. Group GA received balanced or total intravenous general anaesthesia. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Primary endpoint were integrated pain scores (IPS) within 24 h postoperatively. Secondary endpoints were pain scores (NRS 0-10), morphine equivalents, patient satisfaction, quality of recovery and opioid-related side effects. RESULTS One hundred thirty-two patients were analysed of which 66 patients received brachial plexus block and 66 patients received general anaesthesia. Following RA significantly lower IPS were seen directly after surgery (p < .001) and during the post-anaesthesia care unit interval (p < .001) but equalised after 3 h at the ward. No overshoot in pain scores or increased opioid consumption could be detected. Patient satisfaction and postoperative recovery were comparable between both groups. CONCLUSION The IPS and NRS was initially lower in the RA group, increased with fading of the block until equal to the GA group and equal thereafter. Although various definitions of rebound pain were met during this phase, the opioid sparing effect of regional anaesthesia was not counteracted by it. The incidence of episodes with uncontrolled, severe pain did not differ between groups. We found no clinical implications of rebound pain in this setting, since the RA group did not show higher pain scores than the GA group at any time point.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The French Society of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine [Société Française d'Anesthésie et de Réanimation (SFAR)] aimed at providing guidelines for the implementation of perioperative optimization programs. DESIGN A consensus committee of 29 experts from the SFAR was convened. A formal conflict-of-interest policy was developed at the outset of the process and enforced throughout. The entire guidelines process was conducted independently of any industry funding. The authors were advised to follow the principles of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system to guide assessment of quality of evidence. METHODS Four fields were defined: 1) Generalities on perioperative optimization programs; 2) Preoperative measures; 3) Intraoperative measures and; 4) Postoperative measures. For each field, the objective of the recommendations was to answer a number of questions formulated according to the PICO model (population, intervention, comparison, and outcomes). Based on these questions, an extensive bibliographic search was carried out using predefined keywords according to PRISMA guidelines and analyzed using the GRADE® methodology. The recommendations were formulated according to the GRADE® methodology and then voted on by all the experts according to the GRADE grid method. As the GRADE® methodology could have been fully applied for the vast majority of questions, the recommendations were formulated using a "formalized expert recommendations" format. RESULTS The experts' work on synthesis and application of the GRADE® method resulted in 30 recommendations. Among the formalized recommendations, 19 were found to have a high level of evidence (GRADE 1±) and ten a low level of evidence (GRADE 2±). For one recommendation, the GRADE methodology could not be fully applied, resulting in an expert opinion. Two questions did not find any response in the literature. After two rounds of rating and several amendments, strong agreement was reached for all the recommendations. CONCLUSIONS Strong agreement among the experts was obtained to provide 30 recommendations for the elaboration and/or implementation of perioperative optimization programs in the highest number of surgical fields.

Abstract
Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis (TSA) aimed to compare perioperative outcomes of peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) and spinal anesthesia (SA) in elective foot and ankle surgery. Methods: The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021229597). Researchers independently searched PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Results: Analysis of nine RCTs (n = 802; 399 PNBs, 403 SA) revealed significantly shorter block performance times (WMD: 7.470; 95% CI 6.072 to 8.868), the onset of sensory (WMD: 7.483; 95% CI 2.837 to 12.130) and motor blocks (WMD: 9.071; 95% CI 4.049 to 14.094), durations of sensory (WMD: 458.53; 95% CI 328.296 to 588.765) and motor blocks (WMD: 247.416; 95% CI 95.625 to 399.208), and significantly higher postoperative analgesic requirements (SMD: -1.091; 95% CI -1.634 to -0.549) in the SA group. Additionally, systolic blood pressure (SBP) at 30 min (WMD: 13.950; 95% CI 4.603 to 23.298) was lower in the SA group. Conclusions: The SA demonstrated shorter block performance time, faster onset and shorter duration of sensory and motor blocks, higher postoperative analgesic requirements, and lower SBP at 30 min compared to PNBs in elective foot and ankle surgery.

Abstract
To study the effect of posterior lumbar plexus nerve block on anaesthesia and sedation in postmenopausal patients with osteoporotic subtrochanteric femoral comminuted fractures. The research subjects selected 48 patients with postmenopausal osteoporotic subtrochanteric comminuted fractures who were hospitalized between January 2020 and January 2022, and were allocated to clusters according to the random number TBL approach. The controlling cluster (24 situations) underwent dura mater Under external anesthesia, the test cluster (24 situations) underwent posterior lumbar plexus block, and the block effect, anesthesia effect, sedation effect, hemodynamics, vital signs and reactions of adverse nature were contrasted involving the two clusters. In comparison to the control group, the test group had a longer duration of anesthesia and motor block, higher oxygenation indices but lower ITBVI, GEDVI, and ScrO2 values, lower MAP levels, and lower BIS contraction values at 5, 15, and 30 minutes following anesthesia (P < 0.05). The test group had shorter induction time and block onset time compared to the control group (P < 0.05), and a lower incidence of adverse reactions (16.67% vs. 29.17% in the control group), but the variation was not noTBL (P < 0.05). Posterior lumbar plexus nerve block in postmenopausal patients with osteoporotic subtrochanteric femoral comminuted fractures has a better sedative effect, shortens the induction time of anaesthesia and the onset of block, promotes sTBL haemodynamic indexes and has fewer adverse effects to ensure safety.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To increase peripheral nerve block (PNB) administration for ankle fracture surgeries (AFSs) at our institution to above 50% by January 1st, 2021. DESIGN Longitudinal, single-center quality improvement study conducted at a high-volume tertiary care center. PATIENTS All patients undergoing isolated AFS for unimalleolar, bimalleolar, or trimalleolar ankle fracture from July 2017 to April 2021 were included in this study. INTERVENTION Interventions implemented to minimize barriers for PNB administration included recruitment and training of expert anesthesiologists in regional anesthesia, procurement of ultrasound machines, implementation of a dedicated block room, and creation of a pamphlet for patients describing multimodal analgesia. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENT The primary outcome was the percentage of patients receiving PNB for AFS. Secondary outcomes included hospital length-of-stay, postanesthesia care unit (PACU) and 24-hour postoperative opioid consumption (mean oral morphine equivalent [OME]), proportion of patients not requiring opioid analgesic in PACU, and PACU and 24-hour postoperative nausea/vomiting requiring antiemetic. RESULTS The PNB and non-PNB groups included 78 and 157 patients, respectively. PNB administration increased from <5% to 53% after implementation of the improvement bundle. Mean PACU and 24-hour opioid analgesic consumption was lower in the PNB group (PACU OME 38.96 mg vs. 55.42 mg, P = 0.001; 24-hour OME 50.83 mg vs. 65.69 mg, P = 0.008). A greater proportion of patients in the PNB group did not require PACU opioids (62.8% vs. 27.4%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS By performing a root cause analysis and implementing a multidisciplinary, patient-centered improvement bundle, we increased PNB administration for AFSs, resulting in reduced postoperative opioid analgesia consumption. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

The Effects of Intravenous Dexamethasone on Rebound Pain After Nerve Block in Patients with Ankle Fracture: A Randomized Controlled Trial. J Pain Res 2023; 16:1127-1136. [PMID: 37025954 PMCID: PMC10072140 DOI: 10.2147/jpr.s399660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose A single-injection nerve block provides excellent analgesia in a short time, but rebound pain after the nerve block disappears has attracted researchers' attention. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of intravenous dexamethasone on rebound pain after adductor canal block (ACB) and popliteal sciatic nerve block in patients with ankle fracture. Methods We recruited 130 patients with ankle fractures scheduled for open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), each of whom received ACB and popliteal sciatic nerve block. Patients were divided into two groups: C (ropivacaine only) and IV (ropivacaine with intravenous dexamethasone). The primary outcome was the incidence of rebound pain. Secondary outcomes included the following: pain scores at 6 h (T1), 12 h (T2), 18 h (T3), 24 h (T4), and 48 h (T5) after operation; duration of the nerve block; number of presses of the analgesia pump and rescue analgesic consumption in the three-day postoperative period; quality of recovery scale (QoR-15 score); postoperative sleep quality; satisfaction of patients; and levels of serum inflammatory markers (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) six hours after surgery. Results Compared with group C, the incidence of rebound pain in group IV was significantly reduced, and the duration of nerve block was extended by approximately nine hours (P<0.05). Moreover, patients in group IV had significantly lower pain scores at T2-T4, lower levels of serum inflammatory markers (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), higher QoR-15 score two days after the operation, and satisfactory sleep quality the night after surgery (P<0.05). Conclusion Intravenous dexamethasone can reduce the rebound pain after adductor block and sciatic popliteal nerve block in patients with ankle fracture surgery, prolong the duration of nerve block, and improve the quality of early postoperative recovery.

Short-Term Outcomes of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) for Ankle Fracture Patients: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study. Orthop Surg 2023; 15:766-776. [PMID: 36660923 PMCID: PMC9977597 DOI: 10.1111/os.13621] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been successfully adopted for the improvement of medical quality and efficacy in many diseases, but the effect thereof for ankle fracture patients can vary. The aim of the present study was to explore the short-term postoperative outcomes of ERAS among ankle fracture patients. METHODS The present study was a retrospective cohort study conducted between January 2019 and May 2019. One hundred and sixty ankle fracture participations (58 males and 102 females, aged 41.71 ± 14.51 years) were included. The participants treated with open reduction and internal fixation were divided into two groups (non-ERAS vs. ERAS) depending on whether ERAS was applied. Postoperative outcomes included American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, length of stay (LOS), hospital cost, complications, and consumption of opioids. To assess the association between the groups and outcomes, generalized estimating equation (GEE) modeling and multivariable linear regression analysis were performed. RESULTS The average follow-up periods of the participations were 24 months postoperatively. No significant differences were detected between the non-ERAS group and ERAS group with respect to the demographic of patients in terms of gender, age, Danis-Weber classification of fracture, dislocation of ankle joint, and comorbidity (P > 0.05). Significant differences in terms of a higher AOFAS score were found in the ERAS group compared with the non-ERAS group (6.73, 95% CI, 5.10-8.37, p < 0.001) at 3 months postoperatively (PO3M) and (4.73, 95% CI, 3.02-6.45, p < 0.001) at 6 months postoperatively (PO6M). However, similar AOFAS scores were found at 12 months postoperatively (PO12M) (0.28, 95% CI, -0.32 to 0.89, P > 0.05) and at 24 months postoperatively (PO24M) (0.56, 95% CI, -0.07 to 1.19, P > 0.05). Additionally, the GEE analysis and group-by-time interaction of AOFAS score revealed that the ERAS protocol could facilitate faster recovery for ankle fracture patients, with higher PO3M and PO6M (both P < 0.05). At the same time, significant differences in terms of a shorter length of stay (-3.19, 95% CI, -4.33 to -2.04, P < 0.01) and less hospital cost (-6501.81, 95% CI, -10955.21 to -2048.42, P < 0.01) were found in the ERAS group compared with the non-ERAS group. CONCLUSION By reducing LOS and hospital cost, the ERAS protocol might improve the medical quality and efficacy. The present study can provide a realistic evaluation and comparison of the ERAS protocol among ankle fracture patients, and ultimately guide clinical decision making.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This narrative review is an updated summary of the value of regional anesthesia and analgesia for trauma and the special considerations when optimizing pain management and utilizing regional analgesia for acute traumatic pain. RECENT FINDINGS In the setting of the opioid epidemic, the need for multimodal analgesia in trauma is imperative. It has been proposed that inadequately treated acute pain predisposes a patient to increased risk of developing chronic pain and continued opioid use. Enhanced Regional Anesthesia techniques along with multimodal pain therapies is thought to reduce the stress response and improve patient's short- and long-term outcomes. SUMMARY Our ability to save life and limb has improved, but our ability to manage acute traumatic pain continues to lag. Understanding trauma-specific concerns and tailoring the analgesia to a patient's specific injuries can increase a patient's immediate comfort and long-term outcome as well.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Virtual reality (VR) gaming is considered a safe and effective alternative to standard pain alleviation in the hospital. This study addressed the potential effectiveness and feasibility of a VR game that was developed by our research team for repeated at-home burn dressing changes. METHODS A randomized clinical trial was conducted among patients recruited from the outpatient burn clinic of a large American Burn Association-verified pediatric burn center between September 2019 and June 2021. We included English-speaking burn patients aged 5-17 years old requiring daily dressing changes for at least 1 week after first outpatient dressing change. One group played an interactive VR game during dressing changes, while the other utilized standard distraction techniques available in the home for up to a week. Both child and caretaker were asked to assess perceived pain on a numerical rating scale (NRS) of 0-10. For the VR group, patients were also asked to rate various aspects of the VR game on a NRS of 0-10 and caregivers were asked questions assessing ease of use. RESULTS A total of 35 children were recruited for this study with 24 fully completing study measures. The majority of participants were male (n=19, 54.3%), White (n=29, 82.9%), and with second degree burns (n=32, 91.4%). Children and caregivers in the VR group reported less pain than the control group at the 4th dressing change. Participants in the VR group showed a clinically meaningful (≥30%) reduction in child-reported overall pain (33.3%) and caregiver-reported worst pain (31.6%) in comparison with subjects in the control group. Children's satisfaction with the VR remained at a high level across dressing changes over the 1-week period, with reported realism and engagement increasing over time. Over half of the children (54.5%) enjoyed playing the game and did not report any challenges nor any side effects. CONCLUSIONS Subjects found the VR to be a useful distraction during home dressing changes and reported no challenges/side effects. VR should be considered as a nonpharmacologic companion for pain management during at-home burn dressing changes. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04548635.

Ultrasound-guided superficial cervical plexus block reduces opioid consumption in patients undergoing craniotomy via suboccipital retrosigmoid approach: a randomized controlled trial. Reg Anesth Pain Med 2022; 47:rapm-2022-103534. [PMID: 35768167 DOI: 10.1136/rapm-2022-103534] [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: 02/01/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The effectiveness of superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB) at decreasing opioid use and improving hemodynamic stability during suboccipital retrosigmoid craniotomy has not been established. The aim of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of preoperative ultrasound-guided SCPB for craniotomy via a suboccipital retrosigmoid approach. METHODS This was a prospective, single-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group controlled trial. One hundred and six adult patients undergoing suboccipital retrosigmoid craniotomy were randomly allocated into either the SCPB group (n=53) to receive 10 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine or the control group (n=53) to receive 0.9% normal saline injected into the superficial layer of prevertebral fascia guided by ultrasound. The primary outcome was the cumulative consumption of sufentanil with patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) within 24 hours. Secondary outcomes included the overall perioperative consumption of opioids, the area under the curve of the pain score from 1 hour to 48 hours (AUC1-48), intraoperative hemodynamic parameters, and anesthesia depth. RESULTS The mean PCIA pump cumulative consumption of sufentanil in the first 24 hour postoperative period was significantly lowered by SCPB (5.0 µg vs 9.8 µg, 95% CI: -8.0 to -2.4; p=0.001). The total perioperative consumption of sufentanil (45.0 µg vs 54.5 µg, 95% CI: -14.8 to -4.1; p=0.001) was also significantly decreased by SCPB. The incidence of severe pain within 24 hours was decreased by SCPB (7.5% vs 26.4%, p=0.01). SCPB significantly decreased the AUC1-48 of the pain score. Intraoperative hemodynamic parameters and anesthesia depth were similar between groups (p>0.05). DISCUSSION SCPB provides effective analgesia in patients undergoing craniotomy and tumor resection via suboccipital retrosigmoid approach. SCPB demonstrates an opioid-sparing effect and allows for the maintenance hemodynamic stability at an appropriate depth of anesthesia. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04036812.

Development and internal validation of a multivariable risk prediction model for severe rebound pain after foot and ankle surgery involving single-shot popliteal sciatic nerve block. Br J Anaesth 2022; 129:127-135.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rebound pain occurs after up to 50% of ambulatory surgeries involving regional anaesthesia. To assist with risk stratification, we developed a model to predict severe rebound pain after foot and ankle surgery involving single-shot popliteal sciatic nerve block. METHODS After ethics approval, we performed a single-centre retrospective cohort study. Patients undergoing lower limb surgery with popliteal sciatic nerve block from January 2016 to November 2019 were included. Exclusion criteria were uncontrolled pain in the PACU, use of a perineural catheter, or loss to follow-up. We developed and internally validated a multivariable logistic regression model for severe rebound pain, defined as transition from well-controlled pain in the PACU (numerical rating scale [NRS] 3 or less) to severe pain (NRS ≥7) within 48 h. A priori predictors were age, sex, surgery type, planned admission, local anaesthetic type, dexamethasone use, and intraoperative anaesthesia type. Model performance was evaluated using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), Nagelkerke's R2, scaled Brier score, and calibration slope. RESULTS The cohort included 1365 patients (mean [standard deviation] age: 50 [16] yr). The primary outcome was abstracted in 1311 (96%) patients, with severe rebound pain in 652 (50%). Internal validation revealed poor model performance, with AUROC 0.632 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.602-0.661; bootstrap optimisation 0.021), Nagelkerke's R2 0.063, and scaled Brier score 0.047. Calibration slope was 0.832 (95% CI: 0.623-1.041). CONCLUSIONS We show that a multivariable risk prediction model developed using routinely collected clinical data had poor predictive performance for severe rebound pain after foot and ankle surgery. Prospective studies involving other patient-related predictors are needed. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT05018104.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols and interventional locoregional anesthesia (LRA) techniques continuously evolve. This review outlines the latest recommendations for the use of regional anesthesia in ERAS protocols and emerging interventional analgesia techniques. RECENT FINDINGS Research in ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia has led to a refinement of the traditional techniques and the introduction of a number of new approaches to complement ERAS strategies. The efficacy and versatility of LRA enable its use in an increasing number of ERAS indications. SUMMARY The implementation of ERAS protocols in different surgical procedures reduces overall complications and recovery time. Multimodal analgesia strategies with regional anesthesia techniques are some of the key interventions contributing to the improvement in postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The amount of peri- and post-operative use of opioids for pain management, and the duration in which they are used following surgery, are positively associated with the likelihood of subsequent opioid use and addiction. Aware of this issue, many clinicians are seeking ways to reduce opioid use while maintaining adequate pain management. Recent evidence suggests that peripheral nerve block utilization may present a viable mechanism by which clinicians can accomplish this goal. METHODS Ovid MEDLINE and Pubmed databases were searched to identify relevant articles. Using the advanced search option, the key terms "opioid," "morphine," "nerve block," "peripheral anesthesia," "pain management," "preoperative,", "intraoperative," and "postoperative" were used and combined with the Boolean terms "AND" and "OR." This review examines the extant literature surrounding the use of peripheral nerve blocks in relation to patient-reported pain scores, intraoperative opioids, postoperative opioids, patient-controlled analgesic with opioids, and opioid consumption once the patient has left the hospital. Further, the effect peripheral nerve blocks have on postoperative physical therapy, surgery related complications, and overall patient satisfaction are briefly discussed. RESULTS The use of perioperative peripheral nerve blocks decreases opioid consumption not only in the postoperative period, but also intraoperatively as well. The most significant decrease in opioid consumption is seen in the first 24-72 hours postoperatively. Patient reported pain scores were also lower in patients who received peripheral nerve blocks. DISCUSSION Despite relatively robust efficacy data, utilization of peripheral nerve blocks is not ubiquitous; the potential reasons for which are also discussed. Lastly, clinical recommendations based on the available data are provided.
