Comparison of analgesic effects of percutaneous and transthoracic intercostal nerve block in video-assisted thoracic surgery: a propensity score-matched study. J Cardiothorac Surg 2024; 19:33. [PMID: 38291461 PMCID: PMC10829370 DOI: 10.1186/s13019-024-02490-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy of transthoracic intercostal nerve block (TINB) and percutaneous intercostal nerve block (PINB) for video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) using a retrospective analysis. METHODS A total of 336 patients who underwent VATS between January 2021 and June 2022 were reviewed retrospectively. Of the participants, 194 received TINB and were assigned to the T group, while 142 patients received PINB and were assigned to the P group. Both groups received 25 ml of ropivacaine via TINB or PINB at the end of the surgery. The study measured opioid consumption, pain scores, analgesic satisfaction, and safety. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to minimize selection bias due to nonrandom assignment. RESULTS After propensity score matching, 86 patients from each group were selected for analysis. The P group had significantly lower cumulative opioid consumption than the T group (p < 0.01). The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores were lower for the P group than the T group at 6 and 12 h post-surgery (p < 0.01); however, there was no significant difference in the scores between the two groups at 3, 24, and 48 h (p > 0.05). The analgesic satisfaction in the P group was higher than in the T group (p < 0.05). The incidence of back pain, nausea or vomiting, pruritus, dizziness, and skin numbness between the two groups was statistically insignificant (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The study suggests that PINB provides superior analgesia for patients undergoing thoracic surgery compared to TINB without any extra adverse effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The choice of postoperative pain management for patients who experience moderate to severe acute pain after thoracoscopic surgery is debatable. This study aimed to determine whether paravertebral block (PVB) provides more benefits than thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) for thoracoscopic surgery. METHODS From February 2020 to April 2022, patients without chronic pain who were scheduled to undergo thoracoscopic surgery were randomly assigned to the PVB group or the TEA group. The visual analogue scale score was used to measure the degree of pain when the patients were at rest or coughing. RESULTS In total, 176 eligible patients were enrolled in this study. No significant difference in the visual analogue scale score was found between the 2 groups at rest (P = .395) or with coughing (P = .157). Additionally, there was no significant difference in the average pain score between these 2 states (P = .221). The median time for catheter placement in the PVB group was 5 minutes, which was shorter than that (14 minutes) in the TEA group (P < .001). Moreover, the catheter placement failure rate in the PVB group was lower than that in the TEA group (P = .038). The incidence of hypotension (P = .016) and urinary retention (P = .006) in the PVB group was lower than that in the TEA group. CONCLUSIONS PVB can provide pain relief that is similar to that of TEA but with no additional puncture pain, a shorter catheter placement time, and fewer side effects in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral nerve block on perioperative pain and postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobotomy. METHODS Patients aged 60 to 80 years who underwent the surgery of thoracoscopic lobectomy were selected; ASA grades I to III and New York Heart Association (NYHA) grades I to II. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: group C (group Compaired) and group T (group Thoracic Paravertebral Nerve Block TPVB). Patients in group T received ultrason-guided TPVB while those in group C didn't received TPVB. Postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was administered to all the patients. The consumption of intraoperative opioids, cases of hipoxemia, operative time, and extubation time was also recorded. Pain scores (static and dynamic) were assessed at 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours point after the operation. Pain scores, occurrence of postoperative delirium occurrence, postoperative complications, total amount of analgesic drugs, length of hospital stay, rescue analgesic requirement, and side effects were recorded within 5 days. RESULTS Intraoperative dosages of sufentanil and remifentanil were significantly lower in group T (Table 1). The postoperative recovery time in group T was significantly shortened (Table 1). The VAS pain scores of group T at 2, 4, 6, and 24 hours after surgery were much lower. The consumption of intraoperative opioids, number of rescue analgesic requirements, and the occurrence of postoperative delirium incidence in group T was significantly reduced (Table 2). There were no differences in hipoxemia events, postoperative nausea, vomiting and pulmonary complications between the two groups (Table 2). CONCLUSION Preoperative ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral nerve block (TPVB) can obviously decrease the intraoperative and postoperative opioids consumption, shorten the recovery time, reduce the number of rescue analgesia and the incidence of postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobotomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to identify the benefits of thoracic paravertebral block (PVB) by focusing on its role in reducing chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) after thoracic surgery. DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). SETTING Electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Scopus, and Web of Science, were searched to identify studies. PARTICIPANTS Patients undergoing thoracic surgeries. INTERVENTION Paravertebral block for postoperative analgesia. MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 1,028 adult patients from 10 RCTs were included in the final analysis. The incidence of CPSP at 3 months after surgery was not reduced in the PVB group compared with the no-block (odds ratio [OR] 0.59, 95% CI 0.34-1.04; p = 0.07; I2 = 6.96%) and other-block (OR 1.39, 95% CI 0.30-6.42; p = 0.67; I2 = 77.75%) groups. The PVB did not significantly reduce the incidence of CPSP after 6 months from surgery when compared with no block (OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.08-2.53; p = 0.36; I2 = 87.53%) and other blocks (OR 1.17, 95% CI 0.71-1.95; p = 0.93; I2 = 45.75%). The PVB significantly decreased postoperative pain at 24 and 48 hours at rest compared with the no- block group. The pain score was higher in the PVB group than in the other block groups 48 hours after surgery at rest. CONCLUSIONS Thoracic PVB does not prevent CPSP after thoracic surgery. Further large RCTs are required to confirm and validate the authors' results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study is aimed to investigate the analgesic effect of combined dexmedetomidine and thoracic paravertebral nerve block (TPVB) on gastric cancer (GC) patients undergoing open gastrectomy. METHODS From May 2019 to Nov 2020, a total of 80 GC patients preparing for open gastrectomy were enrolled in our hospital and were divided into the ropivacaine (RO) group and the ropivacaine + dexmedetomidine (RD) group ad libitum. All of the patients underwent TPVB. The characteristics, usage of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), adverse events, visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, inflammatory cytokines, and T cell subgroups between the two groups were compared. RESULTS Patients in the RD group showed the decreased occurrence rate of postoperative adverse events and VAS scores and improved anti-inflammation and immune function. These findings implied that the application of dexmedetomidine in combination with ropivacaine in TPVB has a good postoperative analgesic effect, as well as anti-inflammatory and immune-enhancing effects. CONCLUSION Dexmedetomidine as an adjunct analgesic may be potentially applied in clinical practice for GC patients undergoing open gastrectomy.

Abstract
Various regional anesthesia (RA) techniques were shown to reduce pain after lung surgery, but controversies remain regarding the best technique to use to improve recovery. In this observational prospective study, the aim was to assess the efficacy of an RA strategy depending on the surgical approach. Patients who underwent lung surgery were included if an RA was planned following our unit procedure (erector spinae plane block (ESP) for video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) or intrathecal analgesia (IA) for thoracotomy). Patients were compared according to the RA used. In total, 116 patients were included, 70 (60%), 32 (28%), 14 (12%) in the ESP, TEA and IA groups, respectively. Between Day 1 and Day 3, median NRS values were ≤4 at rest, and <50% patients experienced moderate-to-severe pain in each group. There were no significant differences in opioid consumption and in pain at rest or during chest physiotherapy on Days 1 and 2 between groups. However, patients who received an IA had lower NRS than other groups on Day 0 and 3 and a shorter length of hospital stay in comparison with those who received a TEA. Thus, in our institution, a strategy combining ESP for VATS and TEA, or IA for thoracotomy, allowed for effective analgesia after a lung resection. Interestingly, IA appeared to be more effective than TEA in reducing the length of hospital stay and pain on Day 0 and 3.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Paravertebral block (PVB) and thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) are commonly used for postthoracotomy pain management. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effects of TEA versus PVB for postthoracotomy pain relief. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library (last performed on August 2020) to identify randomized controlled trials comparing PVB and TEA for thoracotomy. The rest and dynamic visual analog scale (VAS) scores, rescue analgesic consumption, the incidences of side effects were pooled. RESULTS Sixteen trials involving 1,000 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that the rest and dynamic VAS at 12, 24, and rest VAS at 48 hours were similar between PVB and TEA groups. The rescue analgesic consumption (weighted mean differences: 3.81; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.982-6.638, p < 0.01) and the incidence of rescue analgesia (relative risk [RR]: 1.963; 95% CI: 1.336-2.884, p < 0.01) were less in TEA group. However, the incidence of hypotension (RR: 0.228; 95% CI: 0.137-0.380, p < 0.001), urinary retention (RR: 0.392; 95% CI: 0.198-0.776, p < 0.01), and vomiting (RR: 0.665; 95% CI: 0.451-0.981, p < 0.05) was less in PVB group. CONCLUSION For thoracotomy, PVB may provide no superior analgesia compared with TEA but PVB can reduce side effects. Thus, individualized treatment is recommended. Further study is still necessary to determine which concentration of local anesthetics can be used for PVB and can provide equal analgesic efficiency to TEA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of erector spinae plane block and serratus anterior plane block versus thoracic epidural in perioperative pain control for patients with cancer undergoing lung surgeries. DESIGN Single blinded, randomized, controlled trial. SETTING The study was carried out at the National Cancer Institute in Cairo, Egypt. PARTICIPANTS Fifty-one patients with cancer. INTERVENTIONS Patients were allocated randomly into three groups: thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) group, serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) group, and erector spinae plane block (ESPB) group. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Outcome measures were 24 hours postoperative visual analog scale (VAS), intraoperative rescue fentanyl consumption, perioperative heart rate, mean blood pressure (mean arterial pressure [MAP]), and total postoperative morphine consumption. VAS scores at rest were significantly lower in the TEA group at the postanesthesia care unit and 24 hours. VAS scores with cough were significantly higher in the SAPB group at eight and 24 hours. The first time to receive morphine was significantly longer in the TEA group. No patients in the TEA group required postoperative morphine, whereas 88.2% and 47.1% required morphine in the SAPB and ESPB groups, respectively, p < 0.001. In the TEA group, intraoperative MAP values were lower than the other two groups, p < 0.05. CONCLUSIONS Erector spinae plane block can be used as an effective and safe alternative to thoracic epidural analgesia and shows superior analgesic profile to serratus anterior plane block for patients with lung cancer undergoing posterolateral thoracotomy.

Abstract
Nonintubated thoracic surgery (NITS) has a good safety record in experienced hands, but has pitfalls for beginners. The main aim of NITS is to keep the patient under spontaneous respiration, avoiding adverse effects, such as hypoxemia, hypercapnia, panic attacks, and finally conversion to general anesthesia. In this paper, the safety aspects of anesthesia for NITS is discussed based on data from the literature and personnel clinical experiences.

Abstract
Background The optimal perioperative analgesic strategy in video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for anatomic lung resections remains an open issue. Regional analgesic concepts as thoracic paravertebral or epidural analgesia were used as systemic opioid application. We hypothesized that regional anesthesia would provide improved analgesia compared to systemic analgesia with parenteral opioids in VATS lobectomy and would be associated with a lower incidence of pulmonary complications. Methods The study was approved by the local ethics committee (AZ 99/15) and registered (germanctr.de; DRKS00007529, 10th June 2015). A retrospective analysis of anesthetic and surgical records between July 2014 und February 2016 in a single university hospital with 103 who underwent VATS lobectomy. Comparison of regional anesthesia (i.e. thoracic paravertebral blockade (group TPVB) or thoracic epidural anesthesia (group TEA)) with a systemic opioid application (i.e. patient controlled analgesia (group PCA)). The primary endpoint was the postoperative pain level measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at rest and during coughing during 120 h. Secondary endpoints were postoperative pulmonary complications (i.e. atelectasis, pneumonia), hemodynamic variables and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Results Mean VAS values in rest or during coughing were measured below 3.5 in all groups showing effective analgesic therapy throughout the observation period. The VAS values at rest were comparable between all groups, VAS level during coughing in patients with PCA was higher but comparable except after 8–16 h postoperatively (PCA vs. TEA; p < 0.004). There were no significant differences on secondary endpoints. Intraoperative Sufentanil consumption was significantly higher for patients without regional anesthesia (p < 0.0001 vs. TPVB and vs. TEA). The morphine equivalence postoperatively applicated until POD 5 was comparable in all groups (mean ± SD in mg: 32 ± 29 (TPVB), 30 ± 27 (TEA), 36 ± 30 (PCA); p = 0.6046). Conclusions Analgesia with TEA, TPVB and PCA provided a comparable and effective pain relief after VATS anatomic resection without side effects. Our results indicate that PCA for VATS lobectomy may be a sufficient alternative compared to regional analgesia. Trial registration The study was registered (germanctr.de; DRKS00007529; 10th June, 2015).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Excellent analgesia following oesophagectomy facilitates patient comfort, early extubation, physiotherapy and mobilisation, reduces post-operative complications and should enhance recovery. Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA), the gold standard analgesic regimen for this procedure, is often associated with systemic hypotension treated with inotropes or fluid. This may compromise enhanced recovery and be complicated by anastomotic ischaemia or tissue oedema. METHODS We report a novel analgesic regimen to reduce post-operative inotrope usage. Infusion of ropivicaine via bilateral preperitoneal and right paravertebral catheters was used. Patient-controlled epidural pethidine provided rescue analgesia (WC) (n = 21). A retrospective audit of inotrope requirement, mean pain scores, episodes of respiratory depression and excessive sedation, need for reintubation, reoperation in the first 5 post-operative days, time to mobilisation, time in intensive care, time in hospital and 30-day mortality were measured. These results were compared with those of an earlier patient group who received a thoracic epidural infusion of low-dose local anaesthetic and fentanyl (TEA) (n = 21). RESULTS Inotrope use was reduced by 29% in the WC group (p = 0.03) and the mean intensive care stay reduced by 2.4 days (p = 0.03), as was reintubation rate (p = 0.01) and early mobilisation (p = 0.03). The pain score was comparable in both groups, and there was no difference in the other outcomes examined. CONCLUSION The data demonstrated that it was possible to provide excellent post-oesophagectomy analgesia equivalent to thoracic epidural infusions of local anaesthetic with reduction in inotrope requirements, intensive care stay, more rapid mobilisation, facilitating enhanced recovery.

Abstract
Background We compared the effects of thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) to conventional patient‐controlled analgesia (PCA) on several postoperative parameters of recovery after elective video‐assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) lobectomy. Methods Ninety‐eight patients undergoing elective VATS lobectomy were enrolled. The primary endpoint was pain score. Recovery of bowel function, length of stay in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), duration of postoperative hospital stay, and complications were assessed. Continuous variables were expressed and compared between groups using either a two‐tailed Student's t or Mann‐Whitney U test. Recovery of bowel function was compared using the log‐rank test. Results Baseline characteristics between the groups were similar. Dynamic pain scores on postoperative days (PODs) 0–2 were significantly lower in the TEA group, as were resting pain scores on PODs 1 and 2 (P < 0.05). The mean duration to first flatus (16 ± 0.7 vs. 26 ± 0.7 hours; P < 0.001) and the mean length of stay in the PACU (34 vs. 67 minutes; P = 0.027) were shorter in the TEA compared to the PCA group, respectively. The only difference in postoperative complications was regarding confusion (5 TEA vs. 18 PCA patients; P = 0.002). No difference in overall length of stay was noted. Conclusions Compared to PCA, TEA provided better postoperative pain control after VATS lobectomy and facilitated postoperative recovery of bowel function without increasing the length of hospital stay. This beneficial effect of TEA might be attributed to the attenuation of sympathetic hyperactivation, improved analgesia, and reduced opioid use.

Abstract
This article reviews the current evidence for multimodal analgesic options for common surgical procedures. As perioperative physicians, we have come a long way from using only opioids for postoperative pain to combinations of acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), selective Cyclo-oxygenase (COX-2) inhibitors, local anesthetics, N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists, and regional anesthetics. As discussed in this article, many of these agents have decreased narcotic requirements, improved patient satisfaction, and decreased postanesthesia care unit (PACU) times, as well as morbidity in the perioperative period.

Abstract
The regional anesthesia literature was quite active in the calendar year 2013. In typical fashion, the literature was composed of articles representing neuraxial analgesia, peripheral nerve blocks, patient outcomes, regional anesthesia adjuvant medications, and patient safety. The goal of this article is to summarize and present the most relevant articles from each of these arenas.
