Preoperative versus postoperative ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block for acute postoperative pain relief after laparoscopy: A retrospective cohort study. Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e37597. [PMID: 38552091 PMCID: PMC10977526 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000037597] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Although rectus sheath block (RSB) is routinely used in laparoscopic surgeries to reduce mid-abdominal pain, whether RSB should be performed before or after surgery remains unclear. Herein, the optimal timing for RSB in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery was investigated. This retrospective cohort study analyzed the data of patients who underwent RSB during laparoscopic procedures at our hospital between January 2013 and December 2018. The primary outcome was the time to rescue analgesia within 24 hours postanesthesia. The patients were divided into preoperative (pre-) and postoperative (post-) RSB groups. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the time to rescue analgesia in the unmatched and propensity score (PS)-matched patient populations. In total, 609/14,284 patients were included (pre-RSB group, 227 patients; post-RSB group, 382 patients). After PS matching, 97 patients were assigned to both groups. Although the time from extubation to the first analgesic request was not significantly different between the 2 groups (322 vs 294 minutes, P = .57), the patients in the pre-RSB group showed a lower risk of postoperative first analgesic administration after PS matching (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.71; 95% confidence interval, 0.53-0.95; P = .023). Among patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, those in the pre-RSB group tended to have a longer time to the first analgesic request and had a lower risk of analgesic administration within the first 24 hours than those in the post-RSB group. Thus, performing RSB preoperatively may be preferable.

Investigation into the clinical performance of rectus sheath block in reducing postoperative pain following surgical intervention: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials. Indian J Anaesth 2024; 68:142-152. [PMID: 38435659 PMCID: PMC10903772 DOI: 10.4103/ija.ija_1099_23] [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: 11/12/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims Rectus sheath block (RSB) is an effective postoperative pain control technique in abdominal surgical procedures. This systematic review evaluated the efficacy and outcome data of patients undergoing RSB compared to the standard of care in both laparoscopic and open surgical procedures. Methods This systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines (PROSPERO ID: CRD42022372596). The search was restricted to randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing RSB effectiveness on postoperative pain to any standard general anaesthesia technique (control). We systematically explored PubMed, Medline, Central, Scopus and Web of Science for RCTs from inception to September 2023. The primary outcome was the evaluation of pain scores at rest 0-2, 10-12 and 12-24 h postoperatively. The secondary outcome was the analysis of postoperative intravenous (IV) morphine equivalent consumption at 24-h. A risk-of-bias tool for randomised trials (ROB 2.0, Cochrane, Copenhagen, Denmark) assessment and Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE, Cochrane, Copenhagen, Denmark) analysis was conducted to evaluate the quality of the RCTs. Results Twenty RCTs involving 708 participants who received RSB intervention and 713 who received alternative analgesic care were included. RSB pain scores were significantly lower than control at 0-2 h (P < 0.001) and 10-12 h (P < 0.001) postoperatively. No significant effect was observed at 24 h (P = 0.11). RSB performance compared to control in 24-h IV morphine equivalency in milligrams was significantly lower (P < 0.001). Conclusion RSB implementation was associated with reduced postoperative pain scores and decreased opioid consumption in IV morphine equivalency up to 24 h following surgical intervention.

Effect of a Local Anesthetic Injection Kit on Pain Relief and Postoperative Recovery After Transumbilical Single-Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. J Pain Res 2023; 16:2791-2801. [PMID: 37588778 PMCID: PMC10426734 DOI: 10.2147/jpr.s422454] [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: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study was conducted to explore whether incisional infiltration using a local anesthetic injection kit could better relieve postoperative pain and enhance the quality of recovery compared with ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block (RSB) or conventional local anesthetic infiltration in patients undergoing transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC). Patients and Methods A total of 60 patients undergoing SILC with American Society of Anesthesiology functional status scores of I-II were randomized into the rectus sheath block group (RSB group), conventional local wound infiltration group (LAI-I group) and incisional infiltration using a local anesthetic injection kit group (LAI-II group). The primary outcomes were the patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) demand frequency within 48 hours after the operation and postoperative pain measured by a visual analog scale (VAS) at 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 24 h, and 48 h after surgery. Secondary outcomes were the total procedure times, cumulative consumption of anesthetic drugs, duration of surgery, duration and awaking time of anesthesia, early recovery indicator and side effects. Results The PCIA demand frequency in LAI-II group was significantly lower compared with patients in the RSB and LAI-I group (both P < 0.001). Moreover, the total procedure times in LAI-I and LAI-II group was significantly shorter than that in the RSB group (P < 0.001, respectively), but it was comparable between LAI-I and LAI-II group (P = 0.471). Though lower at 2h and 4h postoperative in LAI-II group, pain scores at each time point had no statistical differences among three groups. There were no significant differences among three groups for other outcomes as well. Conclusion The effect of ultrasound-guided RSB and conventional local anesthetic infiltration in SILC patients were found to be similar in terms of relieving postoperative pain and promoting recovery. Incisional infiltration using a local anesthetic injection kit can significantly reduce the demand frequency of PCIA, which serves as a rescue analgesic.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the postoperative analgesic effects of rectus sheath block (RSB) in combination with patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) compared with PCA alone after single-port total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) Methods This randomized, single-blind study enrolled female patients that underwent single-port TLH. The patients were randomized to receive either fentanyl PCA (PCA group) or RSB with the same PCA. The primary outcomes were fentanyl consumption at 8 h postoperatively and visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores, which represented the severity of postoperative pain. Results A total of 36 patients were enrolled in the study: 18 in the PCA group and 18 in the RSB group (two patients were excluded). The primary outcome of fentanyl consumption was significantly lower at 8 h postoperatively in the RSB group than in the PCA group (148 ± 61 µg versus 222 ± 107 µg, respectively). VAS scores were significantly lower at arrival in the post-anaesthesia care unit and at 30 min after arrival in the RSB group compared with the PCA group. There were no significant differences in the nausea/vomiting score and in additional analgesic consumption between the two groups. Conclusions RSB can be used as a multimodal approach for pain control in single-port TLH procedures. Clinical Research Information Service (no. KCT0001461).

Abstract
Background The effective dose during ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block (URSB) for reducing pain after laparoscopic tubal ligation is reported to be 100 mg of 0.25% bupivacaine. We examined the minimal effective dose of 0.25% bupivacaine for URSB on oral analgesic requirement after ambulatory single-port laparoscopic tubal resection. Methods A prospective, randomized controlled, superiority trial was conducted among patients who had been scheduled for ambulatory laparoscopic tubal resection between September 2015 and January 2019 at a tertiary care hospital in southern Thailand. Anesthesia was induced following protocol. The intervention group was allocated to receive a bilateral URSB using 10 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine on either side after intubation (total 50 mg) while the control group did not receive the sham block. Patients and assessors were blinded to the study intervention. All patients received a multimodal analgesia regimen as follows: fentanyl and ketorolac intraoperatively and fentanyl and oral acetaminophen at the post-anesthetic care unit. Postoperative oral analgesic requirement (acetaminophen and/or ibuprofen) at home was the primary outcome. Postoperative time to first analgesic requirement, oral analgesia (acetaminophen/ibuprofen), and pain score at 6 and 24 h were accessed via telephone interviews. Percentage, effect size (ES), and 95% confidence interval (CI) were presented. Results A total of 66 out of 79 eligible patients were analyzed (32 intervention, 34 control). Intraoperative fentanyl consumption was significantly lower in the intervention group (ES [95% CI]: 0.58 [0.08, 1.07] mcg, p = 0.022). Time to first oral analgesia in the intervention group was significantly longer than that of the control group (ES [95% CI]: 0.66 [0.14, 1.16] h, p = 0.012). The proportion of oral analgesia requirement at 24 h after surgery in the control group was significantly higher than that in the intervention group (97% vs 75%, p = 0.012). Pain scores at 6 and 24 h were similar in both groups although slightly lower in the intervention group (ES [95% CI]: 0.22 [−0.26, 0.71], p = 0.368 and 0.33 [−0.16, 0.81], p = 0.184, respectively). Conclusion A dose of 0.25% bupivacaine 50 mg for URSB reduced the oral analgesic requirement at 24 h and prolonged the time to first analgesic requirement after ambulatory laparoscopic tubal resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative analgesia in SCOLA (subcutaneous onlay laparoscopic approach) surgery is traditionally based on intravenous opioids. The aim of this retrospective observational study was to evaluate the efficacy of bilateral subcostal transversus abdominis plane (SCTAP) block on postoperative pain relief in the first 48 postoperative hours following SCOLA. MATERIALS AND METHODS From August 2017 to December 2019, 163 patients were eligible for the analysis. Postoperative analgesia was managed either with an intravenous tramadol continuous infusion (opioid group) or a multimodal opioid-sparing strategy based on bilateral SCTAP block (SCTAP group), according to the anesthesiologist's postoperative plan. After data collection, 103 patients were assigned post hoc to the SCTAP group and 60 patients to the opioid group. The primary outcome was the evaluation of postoperative pain, considering both the Numeric Rating Scale score and the percentage of patients with uncontrolled pain at 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours. Secondary outcomes were differences in the administration of ketorolac rescue analgesia and incidence of mild adverse effects. RESULTS There were no significant differences in median Numeric Rating Scale at 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours and ketorolac rescue dose consumption in both groups. Five patients (4.85% of a total of 103 patients) referred postoperative nausea and vomiting in the SCTAP group versus 10 patients (16.67% of a total of 60 patients) in the opioid group (P=0.02). CONCLUSION Analgesia with SCTAP block seems to represent a feasible and efficient strategy for pain management in patients undergoing SCOLA surgery, allowing good quality analgesia, low opioids requirements, and reduced incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rectus sheath block (RSB) has been increasingly used for pain management after laparoscopic procedures but with a conflicting data on its analgesic efficacy. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RSB in adults undergoing laparoscopic surgery. METHODS A systematic literature search of the PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted from inception through October 1, 2020, to identify trials comparing RSB with a control group in laparoscopic surgery. The primary outcome was rest pain scores at 0-2 h postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included pain scores at rest at 10-12 and 24 h postoperatively, pain scores on movement at 0-2, 10-12, and 24 h postoperatively, 24- and 48-h opioid consumption, opioid-related side effects, and RSB-associated adverse events. RESULTS Nine trials with 698 patients were included. RSB was associated with significantly lower rest pain scores at 0-2 h postoperatively (standardized mean difference -1.83, 95% confidence interval [-2.70, -0.96], P < 0.001, I2 = 95%) than control. Furthermore, RSB significantly reduced pain scores at rest at 10-12 h postoperatively and on movement at 0-2 h postoperatively, 24-h opioid consumption, and opioid-related side effects. Other secondary outcomes were similar between groups. Preoperative RSB provided better pain control compared with postoperative block administration. None of the studies reported local or systemic complications related to RSB. CONCLUSIONS In the setting of laparoscopic surgery, RSB improves pain control for up to 12 h postoperatively and reduces opioid consumption, without major reported adverse events.

Abstract
Purpose In recent years, ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block (RSB) has been widely used in postoperative analgesia of abdominal operation. However, there is no uniform standard for the optimal dose of local anesthetics (LA) under ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block. This study aimed to determine the dose of ropivacaine combined with butorphanol that is effective in 50% (ED50) and 95% (ED95) of subjects for successful pain-free ultrasound-guided RSB in single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC). Patients and Methods Twenty-four patients scheduled to undergo single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy received an ultrasound-guided RSB. The initial dose of ropivacaine injected was 1.7 mg/kg, which was subsequently increased or decreased by 0.2 mg/kg, depending on whether the previous patient was free from pain (numeric rating scale (NRS) score of incisional pain at rest within 12 h after operation ≤ 3). All patients were treated with butorphanol 0.02 mg/kg as preemptive analgesia. The ED50 and ED95 were calculated using a probit regression model. Results The ED50 and ED95 of ropivacaine combined with butorphanol in ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block for analgesia in SILC, which were calculated by the probit regression model, were 0.719 mg/kg (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.553 mg/kg−0.873 mg/kg) and 0.967 mg/kg (95% CI, 0.835 mg/kg−1.91 mg/kg), respectively. Conclusion As part of a multimodal analgesia strategy, a dose of 0.719 mg/kg ropivacaine provided successful RSB under ultrasound guidance in 50% of the patients who underwent SILC. A dose of 0.967 mg/kg would be successful in 95% of patients.

Abstract
Purpose Pain after single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC), especially visceral pain, often troubles patients and doctors. Whether preemptive butorphanol can relieve visceral pain in patients undergoing SILC remains unknown. The goal of this study was to assess the efficacy of ultrasound-guided bilateral rectus sheath block (RSB) and butorphanol for perioperative analgesia in patients undergoing SILC. Patients and Methods Fifty-eight patients who met the criteria were randomly divided into two groups, both of which were given preemptive RSB. Patients were given either butorphanol 0.02mg/kg (group B, n=29) or sufentanil 0.1 µg/kg (group S, n=29) as preemptive analgesia. The primary outcome was the cumulative frequency of rescue analgesic request within 24 hours after operation. Secondary outcomes were numeric rating scale (NRS) scores (from 0 to 10) of incisional pain and visceral pain, the length of hospital stay and the incidence of postoperative adverse events. Results The frequency of postoperative rescue analgesic request of group S was significantly higher than that of group B (P=0.021). The NRS scores for visceral pain were lower in group B at 2, 6 and 12 hours after surgery than in group S (both P<0.001). The occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) was significantly higher in group S. There were no significant differences between two groups for other outcomes. Conclusion Butorphanol can provide sufficient visceral pain treatment after SILC than the dose of sufentanil in equal analgesic effect.

Abstract
RATIONALE The most commonly used regional techniques for analgesia following laparotomy thoracic epidural analgesia and paravertebral blocks are technically difficult to perform and carry a risk of severe complications. Recently, the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been reported to effectively treat neuropathic pain. The ultrasound-guided ESPB is an easily performed fascial plane block that can provide sensory blockade from T2-4 to T12-L1. Moreover, the ESPB reportedly blocks both the ventral rami of spinal nerves and the rami communicants, which contain sympathetic nerve fibres, through spread into the thoracic paravertebral space. PATIENT CONCERNS We report the case of a 35-year-old female patient who underwent excision of a larger ovarian mass via laparotomy with a wide, midline incision from the xiphoid process to the pubic tubercle. DIAGNOSES They were diagnosed with mucinous cystadenoma originated from the right ovary and fallopian tube, and a right oophorectomy and salpingectomy were performed. INTERVENTIONS The ESPB was performed for postoperative pain control at the level of the T8 transverse process. Postoperative multimodal analgesia was provided according to the acute pain service protocol of our hospital. The patient was prescribed oral acetaminophen 175 mg every 6 hours and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with fentanyl 7 μg/mL. A 1:1 mixture of 0.75% ropivacaine (20 mL) and saline (20 mL) with epinephrine (1: 200,000) was manually injected through the indwelling catheter every 8 hours (20 mL per side). OUTCOMES The first demand dose of fentanyl was administered at 9 hours and 39 minutes after the surgery. There were no reported resting pain scores >4, nor were any rescue analgesics needed during the first 5 postoperative days. LESSONS The ESPB provided highly effective analgesia as a part of multimodal analgesia after laparotomy with a wide midline incision.
