BMC Anesthesiol 2024; 24:101. [PMID: 38493108 PMCID: PMC10943792 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-024-02465-1] [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: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep neuromuscular block (NMB) has been shown to improve surgical conditions and alleviate post-operative pain in bariatric surgery compared with moderate NMB. We hypothesized that deep NMB could also improve the quality of early recovery after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). METHODS Eighty patients were randomized to receive either deep (post-tetanic count 1-3) or moderate (train-of-four count 1-3) NMB. The QoR-15 questionnaire was used to evaluate the quality of early recovery at 1 day before surgery (T0), 24 and 48 h after surgery (T2, T3). Additionally, we recorded diaphragm excursion (DE), postoperative pain, surgical condition, cumulative dose of analgesics, time of first flatus and ambulation, post-operative nausea and vomiting, time of tracheal tube removal and hospitalization time. MAIN RESULTS The quality of recovery was significantly better 24 h after surgery in patients who received a deep versus moderate block (114.4 ± 12.9 versus 102.1 ± 18.1). Diaphragm excursion was significantly greater in the deep NMB group when patients performed maximal inspiration at T2 and T3 (P < 0.05). Patients who underwent deep NMB reported lower visceral pain scores 40 min after surgery; additionally, these patients experienced lower pain during movement at T3 (P < 0.05). Optimal surgical conditions were rated in 87.5% and 64.6% of all measurements during deep and moderate NMB respectively (P < 0.001). The time to tracheal tube removal was significantly longer in the deep NMB group (P = 0.001). There were no differences in other outcomes. CONCLUSION In obese patients receiving deep NMB during LSG, we observed improved QoR-15 scores, greater diaphragmatic excursions, improved surgical conditions, and visceral pain scores were lower. More evidence is needed to determine the effects of deep NMB on these outcomes. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR2200065919. Date of retrospectively registered: 18/11/2022.

Olesnicky BL, Farrell C, Clare P, Wen S, Leslie K, Delaney A. The effect of sugammadex on patient morbidity and quality of recovery after general anaesthesia: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Br J Anaesth 2024; 132:107-115. [PMID: 38036323 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2023.10.032] [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: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Residual neuromuscular block is associated with increased patient morbidity. Therefore prevention of residual neuromuscular block is an important component of general anaesthesia where neuromuscular blocking agents are used. Whereas sugammadex improves reversal based on neuromuscular twitch monitoring parameters, there have been no prospective, adequately powered definitive studies demonstrating that sugammadex is also associated with less patient morbidity. METHODS We performed a systematic review of randomised trials comparing sugammadex with anticholinesterase-based reversal or placebo reversal that reported important patient outcomes beyond the postanaesthesia care unit. RESULTS We identified 43 articles, including 5839 trial participants. Only one trial reported days alive and out of hospital to 30 days (DAOH-30), which showed that the number of DAOH-30 was similar in those allocated to sugammadex compared with neostigmine-based reversal (25 days [19-27] vs 24 days [21-27], median difference 0.00 [-2.15 to 2.15]). Pooled analyses of data from 16 trials showed an estimated odds ratio (OR) for postoperative pulmonary complications of 0.67 (95% confidence interval 0.47-0.95) with sugammadex use. Pooled analysis showed that pneumonia (eight trials OR 0.51 [0.24-1.01] with sugammadex use), hospital length of stay (23 trials, mean difference -0.31 [-0.84 to 0.22] with sugammadex use), and patient-reported quality of recovery (11 trials, varied depending on metric used) are similar in those allocated to sugammadex vs control. The difference seen in mortality (11 trials, OR 0.39 [0.15-1.01] with sugammadex use) would be considered to be clinically significant and warrants further investigation, however, the rarity of these events precludes drawing definitive conclusions. CONCLUSION Although few trials reported on DAOH-30 or important patient outcomes, sugammadex is associated with a reduction in postoperative pulmonary complications, however, this might not translate to a difference in hospital length of stay, patient-reported quality of recovery, or mortality.

The impact of moderate versus deep neuromuscular blockade on the recovery characteristics following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: A randomized double blind clinical trial. Saudi J Anaesth 2024; 18:6-11. [PMID: 38313732 PMCID: PMC10833021 DOI: 10.4103/sja.sja_104_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: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Anesthesia with deep neuromuscular block for laparoscopic surgery may result in less postoperative pain with lower intra-abdominal pressure. However, the results in the existing literature are controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of deep versus moderate neuromuscular block (NMB) on the postoperative recovery characteristics after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) for weight loss surgery. Methods This is parallel-group, randomized clinical trial. The study was conducted at a tertiary care center. Patients undergoing LSG were included. Patients were randomly assigned to either deep (post-tetanic count 1-2) or moderate (train-of-four 1-2) NMB group. The primary outcomes were numeric rating scale scores of the postoperative pain at rest and postoperative shoulder pain. The secondary outcomes were the length of hospital stay (LOS) and postoperative complications. The statistics were performed using StatsDirect statistical software (Version 2.7.9). Results Two groups were identified: Group D (deep NMB), 29 patients, and Group M (moderate NMB), 28 patients. The BMI mean values for groups D and M were 44 and 45 kg/m2 respectively (P > 0.05). The mean durations of surgery for were 46.7 min and 44.1 min for groups M and D, respectively (P > 0.05). The mean train-of-four (TOF) counts were 0.3 and 0 for groups M and D, respectively (P < 0.05). The mean times from giving reversal agent to tracheal extubation (minutes) were 6.5 and 6.58 min for groups M and D, respectively (P > 0.05). In the recovery room, the means of pain scores were 3 and 4 for groups M and D, respectively (P > 0.05). Upon admission to the surgical ward, the median values of the pain score were non-significant (P > 0.05) (95% CI: 0.4-0.7). The opioid consumption in the recovery room was non-significant between both groups (P > 0.05) (95% CI: 0.3-0.6). Postoperative shoulder pain was non-significant between both groups (P > 0.05) (95% CI: 0.4-0.7). The median values of surgeon opinion of both groups were non-significant (P > 0.05). Regarding the LOS, the mean values of groups D and M were 1.20 and 1.21 days, respectively (P > 0.05). Conclusions There was no significant difference between moderate and deep NMB techniques in terms of duration of the surgical procedure, postoperative pain, shoulder pain, and length of hospital stay. Further studies on a larger sample size are required to investigate the long-term recovery characteristics of patients with obesity undergoing LSG.

Postoperative recurarization after sugammadex administration in two patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy: case reports and literature review. Can J Anaesth 2023; 70:1529-1538. [PMID: 37407856 DOI: 10.1007/s12630-023-02527-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy plays a critical role in multidisciplinary therapy for a variety of malignant tumours. Although oncologists consider myocardial injury to be the most concerning side effect of chemotherapy, unique chemotherapy-mediated skeletal muscular damage has received attention recently. CLINICAL FEATURES We report two unusual cases of postoperative delayed respiratory failure following administration of the recommended sugammadex dosage for patients undergoing lengthy operations with deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Based on clinical outcomes, especially the comparison of muscle imaging results in patients at different treatment time points, we concluded that NMB recurrence had a possible correlation with neoadjuvant chemotherapy-induced muscular damage. CONCLUSION The early identification of neoadjuvant chemotherapeutic side effects on NMB could be instrumental for clinical safety, especially in cases of major surgery requiring deep NMB. Thus, the timing of NMB antagonism and the recommended dosage of sugammadex warrant special consideration in these patients. In addition to neuromuscular monitoring during the operation, a more extended and closer observation period in the postanesthesia care unit is warranted.

PLoS One 2023; 18:e0282790.

Abstract
Deep neuromuscular blockade provides better surgical workspace conditions in laparoscopic surgery, but it is still not clear whether it improves perioperative outcomes, not to mention its role in other types of surgeries. We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to investigate whether deep neuromuscular blockade versus other more superficial levels of neuromuscular blockade provides improved perioperative outcomes in adult patients in all types of surgeries. Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Google Scholar were searched from inception to June 25, 2022. Forty studies (3271 participants) were included. Deep neuromuscular blockade was associated with an increased rate of acceptable surgical condition (relative risk [RR]: 1.19, 95% confidence interval [CI]: [1.11, 1.27]), increased surgical condition score (MD: 0.52, 95% CI: [0.37, 0.67]), decreased rate of intraoperative movement (RR: 0.19, 95% CI: [0.10, 0.33]), fewer additional measures to improve the surgical condition (RR: 0.63, 95% CI: [0.43, 0.94]), and decreased pain score at 24 h (MD: -0.42, 95% CI: [-0.74, -0.10]). There was no significant difference in the intraoperative blood loss (MD: -22.80, 95% CI: [-48.83, 3.24]), duration of surgery (MD: -0.05, 95% CI: [-2.05, 1.95]), pain score at 48 h (MD: -0.49, 95% CI: [-1.03, 0.05]), or length of stay (MD: -0.05, 95% CI: [-0.19, 0.08]). These indicate that deep neuromuscular blockade improves surgical conditions and prevents intraoperative movement, and there is no sufficient evidence that deep neuromuscular blockade is associated with intraoperative blood loss, duration of surgery, complications, postoperative pain, and length of stay. More high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed, and more attention should be given to complications and the physiological mechanism behind deep neuromuscular blockade and postoperative outcomes.
