Impact of Perioperative Dexamethasone Administration on Infection and Implant Osseointegration in a Preclinical Model of Orthopedic Device-Related Infection. Microorganisms 2024; 12:1134. [PMID: 38930516 PMCID: PMC11205448 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12061134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Glucocorticoids may be given prior to major orthopedic surgery to decrease postoperative nausea, vomiting, and pain. Additionally, many orthopedic patients may be on chronic glucocorticoid therapy. The aim of our study was to investigate whether glucocorticoid administration influences Orthopedic-Device-Related Infection (ODRI) in a rat model. Screws colonized with Staphylococcus epidermidis were implanted in the tibia of skeletally mature female Wistar rats. The treated groups received either a single shot of dexamethasone in a short-term risk study, or a daily dose of dexamethasone in a longer-term interference study. In both phases, bone changes in the vicinity of the implant were monitored with microCT. There were no statistically significant differences in bacteriological outcome with or without dexamethasone. In the interference study, new bone formation was statistically higher in the dexamethasone-treated group (p = 0.0005) as revealed by CT and histopathological analysis, although with relatively low direct osseointegration of the implant. In conclusion, dexamethasone does not increase the risk of developing periprosthetic osteolysis or infection in a pre-clinical model of ODRI. Long-term administration of dexamethasone seemed to offer a benefit in terms of new bone formation around the implant, but with low osseointegration.

Perioperative intravenous dexamethasone use is not associated with periprosthetic joint infection or wound healing complications following shoulder arthroplasty. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024:S1058-2746(24)00247-7. [PMID: 38604400 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2024.02.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative intravenous (IV) dexamethasone is commonly used in lower extremity total joint arthroplasty to manage postoperative pain and nausea/vomiting, and recent studies have demonstrated that its use may lower rates of acute postoperative medical complications. However, there is limited information regarding the safety and efficacy of IV dexamethasone in patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Additionally, there is concern surrounding corticosteroid use prior to surgery as preoperative corticosteroid injections have been associated with adverse outcomes after TSA, including periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and revision surgery. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of perioperative IV dexamethasone on 90-day rates of PJI, wound complications, and medical complications after TSA. METHODS The Premiere national hospital database was used to identify adult patients undergoing elective TSA between 2016 and 2020; patients were excluded if they were under 18 years old, were undergoing revision TSA, or had a prior proximal humerus open reduction internal fixation procedure. Patients who did and did not receive perioperative IV dexamethasone were then compared in both univariate and multivariate analyses. A Bonferroni correction was utilized to adjust for multiple comparisons. The primary end point was risk of acute infectious complications within 90 days of surgery, including PJI and wound infection/dehiscence. Secondary end points included acute pulmonary, renal, and thromboembolic complications. RESULTS A total of 135,333 patients underwent TSA during the study period; 61.2% underwent reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, 33.8% underwent anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty, and 5.0% underwent hemiarthroplasty. From 2016 to 2020, perioperative IV dexamethasone use increased by 135%. Multivariate analysis revealed that patients who received perioperative IV dexamethasone did not have increased odds of PJI, superficial wound infection, or wound dehiscence (P = .15-.47) but did have decreased odds of sepsis (odds ratio [OR] 0.67, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.55-0.81) and other medical complications such as urinary tract infection and acute kidney injury. Additionally, there was a trend towards decreased 90-day hospital readmission (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.81-0.96, P = .003). CONCLUSIONS Perioperative IV dexamethasone was not associated with increased risk of acute infectious and wound healing complications. Moreover, patients who received perioperative IV dexamethasone had decreased odds of medical complications and trended toward lower rates of 90-day hospital readmission. The results of this study support the safety of perioperative IV dexamethasone use in patients undergoing elective TSA.

Abstract
To investigate the efficacy and safety of dexamethasone + palonosetron in the prevention of post-embolization syndrome after drug-eluting beads transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (D-TACE). The data of 278 patients who received D-TACE from January 2018 to December 2021 were collected and divided into 2 groups: D-TACE group (N = 145) and D-TACE + dexamethasone + palonosetron group (N = 133). The incidence of post-embolization syndrome and infection after D-TACE was assessed in both groups. Incidence of abdominal pain: D-TACE group versus D-TACE + dexamethasone + palonosetron group, 56.6% versus 40.6%, P = .008; incidence of fever: D-TACE group versus D-TACE + dexamethasone + palonosetron group, 40.0% versus 14.3%, P = .000; incidence of nausea: D-TACE group versus D-TACE + dexamethasone + palonosetron group, 61.4% versus 39.8%, P = .001; incidence of vomiting: D-TACE group versus D-TACE + dexamethasone + palonosetron group, 48.3% versus 21.1%, P = .000; incidence of infection: D-TACE group versus D-TACE + dexamethasone + palonosetron group, 1.4% versus 1.5%, P = .931. The combined use of dexamethasone and palonosetron before D-TACE can effectively reduce the incidence of post-embolization syndrome and reduce the degree of side effects, but it will not increase the risk of infection.

Abstract
Historically, opioids have been used as a primary conservative treatment for pain related to glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA). However, this practice is concerning as it often leads to overuse, which has contributed to the current epidemic of addiction and overdoses in the United States. Studies have shown that preoperative opioid use is associated with higher complication rates and worse outcomes following surgery, particularly for shoulder arthroplasty. To address these concerns, perioperative pain management for shoulder arthroplasty has evolved over the years to the use of multimodal analgesia.

Is Intraoperative Dexamethasone Utilization Associated With Increased Rates of Periprosthetic Joint Infection Following Total Joint Arthroplasty? J Arthroplasty 2023; 38:224-231.e1. [PMID: 36031084 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2022.08.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2022] [Revised: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative dexamethasone can reduce postoperative pain and nausea following total knee (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA). To the best of our knowledge, no study to date has been adequately powered to detect the risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) from early dexamethasone exposure. This study aimed to assess PJI rates and complications in patients undergoing primary elective TKA and THA who received intraoperative dexamethasone. METHODS A national database was used to identify adults undergoing primary elective TKA and THA between 2015 and 2020. Patients who received intraoperative dexamethasone and those who did not were identified. The primary endpoint was 90-day risk of infectious complications. Secondary end points included thromboembolic, pulmonary, renal, and wound complications. Multivariate analyses were performed to assess the risk of all endpoints between cohorts. Between 2015 and 2020, 1,322,025 patients underwent primary elective TJA, of which 857,496 (64.1%) underwent TKA and 474,707 (35.9%) underwent TKA. RESULTS In patients who underwent TKA, dexamethasone was associated with lower risk of PJI (adjusted odds ratio: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.82-0.93, P < .001) as well as other secondary endpoints such as pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and acute kidney injury. In patients who underwent THA, dexamethasone was associated with a lower risk of PJI (adjusted odds ratio: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.73-0.86, P < .001) as well as other secondary endpoints such as pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, acute kidney injury, and pneumonia. CONCLUSION Intraoperative dexamethasone was not associated with increased risk of infectious complications. The data presented here provide evidence in support of intraoperative dexamethasone utilization during primary TKA or THA.

Abstract
» For shoulder arthroplasty, regional anesthesia is safer when compared with general anesthesia. There is insufficient evidence to demonstrate the superiority of regional anesthesia with respect to pulmonary complications and hospital length of stay. » Infiltration of the shoulder with local anesthetics offers no additional benefits compared with single-shot or continuous brachial plexus blocks for shoulder arthroplasty. » There is high-quality evidence (Level I) demonstrating lower pain scores and lower perioperative opioid requirements after a continuous peripheral nerve block compared with a single-shot nerve block. However, catheter dislodgment and logistical issues with catheter insertion are impediments to the widespread usage of a continuous nerve block with an indwelling catheter. » Liposomal bupivacaine is comparable with non-liposomal local anesthetic agents with respect to pain relief, the opioid-sparing effect, and adverse effects in the first 48 hours after total shoulder arthroplasty. » Perioperative dexamethasone administration improves postoperative pain control, decreases perioperative opioid requirements, and reduces postoperative nausea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pain management after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) can be challenging. Given the variety of pain management options available, the purpose of this investigation was to systematically review the literature for randomized controlled trials reporting on pain control after shoulder arthroplasty. We sought to determine which modalities are most effective in managing postoperative pain and reducing postoperative opioid use. METHODS A systematic review was performed using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) guidelines. PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for Level I-II randomized controlled trials that compared interventions for postoperative pain control after TSA. Pain control measures included nerve blocks and nerve block adjuncts, local injections, patient-controlled analgesia, oral medications, and other modalities. The 2 primary outcome measures were pain level measured on a 0-10 visual analog scale and opioid use. The risk of study bias and methodologic quality were analyzed using The Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2) tool. Network meta-analyses were performed for visual analog scale pain scores at postsurgical time points and opioid use using a frequentist approach and random-effects model, with heterogeneity quantified using the I2 statistic. Treatments were ranked using the P score, and statistical significance was set at P < .05. RESULTS The initial search yielded 2391 articles (695 duplicates, 1696 screened, 53 undergoing full-text review). Eighteen articles (1358 shoulders; 51% female patients; mean age range, 65-73.7 years; 4 studies with low risk of bias, 12 with some risk, and 2 with high risk) were included and analyzed. At 4 and 8 hours postoperatively, patients receiving local liposomal bupivacaine (LB) injection (P < .001 for 4 and 8 hours) or local ropivacaine injection (P < .001 for 4 hours and P = .019 for 8 hours) had significantly more pain compared with patients who received either a continuous interscalene block (cISB) or single-shot interscalene block (ssISB). No differences in opioid use (at P < .05) were detected between modalities. The P scores of treatments demonstrated that ssISBs were most favorable at time points < 24 hours, whereas pain at 24 and 48 hours after surgery was best managed with cISBs or a combination of an ssISB with a local LB injection. CONCLUSION Interscalene blocks are superior to local injections alone at managing pain after TSA. Single-shot interscalene blocks are optimal for reducing early postoperative pain (< 24 hours), whereas pain at 24-48 hours after surgery may be best managed with cISBs or a combination of an ssISB with a local LB injection.

Abstract
Background To investigate the efficacy and safety of dexamethasone-lipiodol emulsion in the prevention of post-embolization syndrome after TACE. Method The data of 255 patients who underwent TACE in the interventional department from June 2017 to June 2020 were collected. This is a retrospective assessment of patients who were non-randomly treated with dexamethasone in TACE. The patients were divided into two groups: TACE using lipiodol + chemotherapeutic emulsion group (TACE group, N = 133); TACE using lipiodol + dexamethasone + chemotherapeutic emulsion group (TACE + dexamethasone group, N = 122). Primary study endpoint: incidence of abdominal pain, fever, nausea and vomiting 0–72 h after TACE in both groups. Secondary study endpoints: incidence of infection after TACE in both groups. Results Incidence of post-embolization syndrome after TACE (TACE group vs TACE + dexamethasone group): abdominal pain, 55.6% versus 36.1% (P value 0.002); fever, 37.6% versus 13.1% (P value 0.000); nausea, 60.9% versus 41.0% (P value 0.001); vomiting, 48.1% versus 21.3% (P value 0.000). Incidence of infection after TACE (TACE group vs TACE + dexamethasone group): 1.5% versus 2.5% (P value 0.583). Conclusion The lipiodol + dexamethasone emulsion can significantly reduce the incidence rate of post-embolization syndrome after TACE, with exact effect and high safety.

Abstract
Surgical procedures are key drivers of pain development and opioid utilization globally. Various organizations have generated guidance on postoperative pain management, enhanced recovery strategies, multimodal analgesic and anesthetic techniques, and postoperative opioid prescribing. Still, comprehensive integration of these recommendations into standard practice at the institutional level remains elusive, and persistent postoperative pain and opioid use pose significant societal burdens. The multitude of guidance publications, many different healthcare providers involved in executing them, evolution of surgical technique, and complexities of perioperative care transitions all represent challenges to process improvement. This review seeks to summarize and integrate key recommendations into a "roadmap" for institutional adoption of perioperative analgesic and opioid optimization strategies. We present a brief review of applicable statistics and definitions as impetus for prioritizing both analgesia and opioid exposure in surgical quality improvement. We then review recommended modalities at each phase of perioperative care. We showcase the value of interprofessional collaboration in implementing and sustaining perioperative performance measures related to pain management and analgesic exposure, including those from the patient perspective. Surgery centers across the globe should adopt an integrated, collaborative approach to the twin goals of optimal pain management and opioid stewardship across the care continuum.
