J Clin Anesth 2024; 99:111625. [PMID: 39293148 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinane.2024.111625] [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: 07/02/2024] [Revised: 08/16/2024] [Accepted: 09/10/2024] [Indexed: 09/20/2024]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Quality of postoperative recovery is a crucial aspect of perioperative care. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous steroids in improving the quality of recovery (QoR) after surgery, as measured by validated QoR scales. DESIGN Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). SETTING Operating room. INTERVENTION The use of a single dose of intravenous steroids as a supplement to general anesthesia. PATIENTS Adult patients undergoing surgery. MEASUREMENTS A literature search was conducted using electronic databases (e.g., MEDLINE and Embase) from their inception to June 2024. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing intravenous steroids with placebo or no treatment in adult patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia were included. The primary outcome was the QoR scores on postoperative days (POD) 1 and 2-3, as assessed by validated QoR scales (QoR-15 and QoR-40). Secondary outcomes included QoR dimensions, analgesic rescue, pain scores, and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). MAIN RESULTS Eleven RCTs involving 951 patients were included in this study. The steroid group showed significant improvements in global QoR scores on POD 1 (standardized mean difference [SMD]: 0.52; 95 % confidence interval[CI]: 0.22 to 0.82; P = 0.0007) and POD 2-3 (SMD: 0.50; 95 % CI: 0.19 to 0.81; P = 0.001) compared to the control group. Significant improvements were also observed in all QoR dimensions on POD 1, with the effect sizes ranging from small to moderate. Intravenous steroids also significantly reduced the analgesic rescue requirements (RR: 0.77; 95 % CI: 0.67 to 0.88; P = 0.0003), postoperative pain scores (SMD: -0.41; 95 % CI: -0.68 to -0.14; P = 0.003), and PONV incidence (RR: 0.73; 95 % CI: 0.56 to 0.95; P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Intravenous administration of steroids significantly improved QoR after surgery. The benefits of steroids extend to all dimensions of QoR and important clinical outcomes such as analgesic requirements, pain scores, and PONV. These findings support the use of steroids as an effective strategy to enhance the postoperative recovery quality.

Comparison of the recovery quality between remimazolam and propofol after general anesthesia: systematic review and a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. PeerJ 2024; 12:e17930. [PMID: 39210920 PMCID: PMC11361258 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.17930] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/25/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction To evaluate the recovery quality between remimazolam and propofol after general anesthesia surgery. Methods We included eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Central, Scopus, and Web of Science up to June 26, 2024 for comparison the recovery quality of remimazolam and propofol after general anaesthesia. The primary outcomes were the total Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) and five dimensions of QoR-15 on postoperative day 1 (POD1). Secondary outcomes were adverse events, the Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) on POD1, and the intraoperative and postoperative time characteristics. Results Thirteen RCTs with a total of 1,305 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Our statistical analysis showed that remimazolam group had higher QoR-15 score on POD1, with no significant difference (Mean Difference (MD) = 1.24; 95% confidence interval (CI), [-1.67-4.15]; I2 = 75%; P = 0.41). In the five dimensions of QoR-15, remimazolam group was superior to propofol group in terms of physical independence (MD = 0.79; 95% CI [0.31-1.27]; I2 = 0%; P = 0.001). Remimazolam group was lower than propofol group in incidence of hypotension (Risk Ratio (RR) = 0.48; 95% CI [0.40-0.59]; I2 = 14%; P < 0.00001), bradycardia (RR = 0.18; 95% CI [0.08-0.38]; I2 = 0%; P < 0.0001) and injection pain (RR = 0.03; 95% CI [0.01-0.12]; I2 = 48%; P < 0.00001), respectively. The intraoperative and postoperative time characteristics and the QoR-40 were similar in the two groups. Conclusions Our analysis showed that the recovery quality of the remimazolam group after general anaesthesia was similar to propofol group, while the incidence of adverse events was low in remimazolam group. As a potential anesthetic, remimazolam can be used in place of propofol for surgical general anesthesia.

Int J Orthop Trauma Nurs 2024; 54:101099. [PMID: 38593583 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijotn.2024.101099] [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: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients' postoperative quality of recovery (QOR) is an important outcome measurement and predicting and preventing impaired quality of recovery is essential. In this study, we aimed to investigate if patients Sense of Coherence (SOC) could be a potential predictor and screening instrument for impaired quality of recovery. We hypothesized that patients' SOC is positively related to their QOR. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was performed as a descriptive single-center prospective cohort study. Data was collected using digital questionnaires. Patients undergoing total hip (THA) or knee arthroplasty (TKA) received the SOC13 questionnaire prior to their surgery to establish their SOC and a questionnaire on postoperative day 2 and 7, respectively, establishing their QOR. Multiple linear regression was used to fit a model for the QOR score using SOC, age, sex, and type of surgery as potential explanatory variables. RESULTS 206 patients were included in the study analysis. The results showed a highly significant positive correlation between patients' SOC and their postoperative QOR on both postoperative day 2 and 7 (p < 0.01). Patients with a lower SOC score also presented a significantly lower QOR score, meaning they experienced impaired QOR compared to patients with a higher SOC score. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that a weak SOC (low SOC score) can be considered a clinically important indicator for risk of impaired QOR (low QOR score) after THA and TKA. The SOC13 questionnaire may be a potential screening instrument identifying patients in risk of impaired postoperative QOR based on a low SOC score.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Posterior spinal fusion (PSF) for the correction of idiopathic scoliosis is associated with severe postoperative pain. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been proposed to provide analgesia and reduce opioid consumption. We aimed to investigate the effect of bilateral ultrasound-guided single-shot ESPB on postoperative analgesia in pediatric patients undergoing PSF. METHODS This double-blinded, randomized controlled trial will enroll 74 AIS patients undergoing elective PSF. Participants will be assigned to the ESPB group or control group at a 1:1 ratio. Patients in the ESPB group will receive ultrasound-guided bilateral ESPB preoperatively, and patients in the control group received sham ESPB using normal saline. The primary joint endpoints are the area under the curve (AUC) of numerical rating scale (NRS) score and opioid consumption in postoperative 24 h. The secondary endpoints are numerical rating scale (NRS) score and opioid consumption at postoperative 0.5, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h, rescue analgesia, recovery outcomes, and adverse events. DISCUSSION At present, studies investigating the effect of ESPB on pediatric patients are still needed. This study focuses on the effect of ESPB on pediatric patients undergoing PSF on postoperative pain control and intends to provide a new strategy of multimodal analgesia management for major spine surgery.

[PMID: 38814468 DOI: 10.1007/s00192-024-05803-6] [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: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS The safety and feasibility of same-day discharge (SDD) has been consistently reported across the benign and gynecologic oncology literature. However, outcomes of SDD in the urogynecology population are sparse. The objectives of this study were to describe the success of SDD following vaginal hysterectomy and native-tissue colpopexy, and to compare the incidence of postoperative adverse events in patients discharged same-day versus postoperative day 1 (POD1). Further objectives were to compare pain, quality of recovery (QoR), and satisfaction between the groups. METHODS This was a single-center, prospective cohort study of patients with planned SDD. A standardized ERAS protocol was utilized. The QoR-40 questionnaire was administered at baseline, POD2, and the 6-week postoperative visit. Pain scores were captured similarly, and a satisfaction survey was administered at 6 weeks. The primary outcome was composite adverse events defined as any postoperative adverse event and/or health care utilization, excluding telephone calls, and urinary tract infection. RESULTS A total of 101 patients were enrolled in the study; the primary outcome was available for 99. SDD was achieved for 76 patients (77.0%); 23 patients stayed overnight (23.2%). The overall incidence of composite adverse events was 20.2% (95% CI, 13.5-29.2), and was not different between the groups (26.1% vs 18.4%, p = 0.42). Additionally, there were no differences in the QoR-40 or pain scores on POD2 and at 6 weeks. Patient satisfaction was high and similar between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Successful SDD was achieved in 77.0% of the patients. SDD following vaginal hysterectomy and native-tissue colpopexy appears to be safe, feasible, and associated with good QoR and a high degree of patient satisfaction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of ketamine/esketamine on postoperative subjective quality of recovery (QoR). METHODS MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane library, and Google Scholar were searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that examined the impacts of perioperative ketamine/esketamine use and postoperative QoR. The primary outcome was subjective QoR (QoR-9, QoR-15, QoR-40) on postoperative day (POD) 1-3, whereas the secondary outcomes included pain severity, anxiety scores, depression scores, risk of adverse events (i.e. nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness), and length of stay. RESULTS The analysis included 18 RCTs (1554 participants; ketamine: seven trials, esketamine: 11 trials), of which 15 were conducted in China. Ketamine/esketamine improved the QoR scores on PODs 1 and 2 compared with the control (standardised mean difference [SMD]: 0.63, P<0.0001 for POD 1; SMD: 0.56, P=0.04 for POD 2), without beneficial effect on POD 3. Subgroup analyses revealed significant differences in QoR scores on POD 1 by regimen (SMD: esketamine 1.14, ketamine 0.01) and country (SMD: China 0.82, other countries -0.21). The emotional domain of QoR was improved from PODs 1 to 3, whereas the other domains were only improved on POD 1. Lower postoperative anxiety (SMD: -0.48, P=0.003) and depression (SMD: -0.72, P=0.001) scores were also observed with ketamine/esketamine use. Furthermore, pain severity was reduced on PODs 1 and 2, with no difference in the risk of adverse events or length of stay. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis demonstrated that ketamine/esketamine use in the perioperative period is associated with improved early subjective QoR, pain severity, and psychological symptoms without an increase in the likelihood of adverse events.

Quality of Postoperative Recovery in Total Intravenous Anesthesia between Remimazolam and Propofol for Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring: A Prospective Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial. J Pers Med 2024; 14:382. [PMID: 38673009 PMCID: PMC11051443 DOI: 10.3390/jpm14040382] [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: 03/10/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
This study compared the overall postoperative recovery of patients who underwent total intravenous anesthesia with remimazolam or propofol, using the Quality of Recovery-15 questionnaire (QoR-15). Seventy-two patients who underwent spine surgery with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) were randomly categorized into the remimazolam group (group R) or propofol group (group P). On the first postoperative day, the QoR-15 scores for groups P and R were 114 and 112, respectively, indicating no significant difference (p = 0.691). Similarly, group-time interaction effects on QoR-15 scores were not significantly different. In the post-anesthesia care unit, the pain intensity at rest was notably higher in group P than in group R (3.0 [0.0] vs. 2.8 [0.5], respectively, p = 0.009). Although the intraoperative consumption of remifentanil was higher in group R (1452.4 µg vs. 2066.8 µg, respectively, p < 0.001), the intraoperative use of vasopressors was lower in group R (1705.6 µg vs. 286.1 µg, respectively, p < 0.001) compared to group P. Group R exhibited significantly lower variability in mean blood pressure over time compared to group P. Remimazolam was viewed as a promising intravenous agent for general anesthesia, showing potential to replace propofol in spine surgery with IONM, considering both recovery quality and intraoperative hemodynamic stability.

Abstract
Background and Aims Recent studies have found that ultrasound-guided (USG) bilateral superficial cervical plexus block (BSCPB) and intravenous infusion of lidocaine (IVL) have the potential to improve the quality of postoperative recovery. This study aimed to investigate and compare their effects on postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing thyroidectomy. Methods A total of 135 patients were randomised to Group N: BSCPB with 10 mL 0.75% ropivacaine on each side, Group L: intravenous lidocaine (1.5 mg/kg for 10 min, followed by 1.5 mg/kg/h) and Group C: intravenous saline combined with BSCPB saline. The primary objective was quality of recovery-40 (QoR-40). Other parameters compared were numeric rating pain scale (NRS) score, haemodynamic data, opioid dosage and incidence of adverse effects. Statistical analysis was performed using the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Chi-square test. Results Compared to Group C, both groups N and L had higher QoR-40 total scores as well as scores indicating physical comfort, emotional state and pain dimensions on postoperative day (POD) 1 and POD2 (P < 0.001). The QoR-40 total and pain dimension scores in Group N were higher on POD1 and POD2 (P < 0.05). The NRS scores and the change in haemodynamics were lower in Group N compared to groups L and C (P < 0.05). The results of other parameters were lower in groups N and L than in Group C (P < 0.05). Conclusion USG BSCPB and IVL are comparable in improving the quality of postoperative recovery in patients undergoing thyroidectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND General anesthetic techniques can affect postoperative recovery. We compared the effect of propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and desflurane anesthesia on postoperative recovery. METHODS In this randomized trial, 150 patients undergoing robot-assisted or laparoscopic nephrectomy for renal cancer were randomly allocated to either the TIVA or desflurane anesthesia (DES) group. Postoperative recovery was evaluated using the Korean version of the Quality of Recovery-15 questionnaire (QoR-15K) at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h postoperatively. A generalized estimating equation (GEE) was performed to analyze longitudinal QoR-15K data. Fentanyl consumption, pain severity, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and quality of life three weeks after discharge were also compared. RESULTS Data were analyzed for 70 patients in each group. The TIVA group showed significantly higher QoR-15K scores at 24 and 48 h postoperatively (24 h: DES, 96 [77, 109] vs. TIVA, 104 [82, 117], median difference 8 [95% CI: 1, 15], P = 0.029; 48 h: 110 [95, 128] vs. 125 [109, 130], median difference 8 [95% CI: 1, 15], P = 0.022), however not at 72 h (P = 0.400). The GEE revealed significant effects of group (adjusted mean difference 6.2, 95% CI: 0.39, 12.1, P = 0.037) and time (P < 0.001) on postoperative QoR-15K scores without group-time interaction (P = 0.051). However, there were no significant differences in other outcomes, except for fentanyl consumption, within the first 24 h postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Propofol-based TIVA showed only a transient improvement in postoperative recovery than desflurane anesthesia, without significant differences in other outcomes.

Comparison of Remimazolam versus Sevoflurane on the Postoperative Quality of Recovery in Cervical Spine Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Double-Blind Trial. Drug Des Devel Ther 2024; 18:121-132. [PMID: 38283136 PMCID: PMC10821644 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s441622] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Remimazolam is a newly developed ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine. We compared overall functional recovery, including the postoperative Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) questionnaire scores, between balanced inhalational anesthesia using sevoflurane and total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with remimazolam in patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Patients and Methods Seventy-two patients were randomized to the remimazolam (group R) or sevoflurane (group S) group. The primary outcome was the total QoR-15 score on postoperative day (POD) 1. We also assessed the total QoR-15 score on POD2, sub-scores of the QoR-15, perioperative parameters, and postoperative recovery profiles. Group-time interaction effects on the QoR-15 and its sub-scores were analyzed using a linear mixed model. Results The total QoR-15 score on POD1 (120.2 in group R vs 114.3 in group S, P=0.189) was not statistically different between the groups. There were no significant group-time interaction effects on total QoR-15 scores. Instead, patients in group R showed significantly better sub-scores in psychological and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) items on POD1, as well as a lower degree of PONV, than those in group S. Among the five dimensions of the QoR-15, a significant group-time interaction effect was observed for psychological support. Group R showed significantly less changeability in blood pressure and heart rate with a lower dose of intraoperatively administered vasopressor than group S. Conclusion Considering QoR-15, including PONV reduction, and intraoperative hemodynamic stability, remimazolam can be used as the novel and safe anesthetic agent for maintaining general anesthesia instead of sevoflurane in patients undergoing ACDF.

Abstract
The Quality of Recovery Score-40 (QoR-40) has been increasingly used for assessing recovery after patients undergoing surgery. However, a prediction model estimating quality of recovery is lacking. The aim of the present study was to develop and externally validate a clinical prediction model that predicts quality of recovery up to one week after surgery. The modelling procedure consisted of two models of increasing complexity (basic and full model). To assess the internal validity of the developed model, bootstrapping (1000 times) was applied. At external validation, the model performance was evaluated according to measures for overall model performance (explained variance (R2)) and calibration (calibration plot and slope). The full model consisted of age, sex, previous surgery, BMI, ASA classification, duration of surgery, HADS and preoperative QoR-40 score. At model development, the R2 of the full model was 0.24. At external validation the R2 dropped as expected. The calibration analysis showed that the QoR-40 predictions provided by the developed prediction models are reliable. The presented models can be used as a starting point for future updating in prediction studies. When the predictive performance is improved it could be implemented clinically in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) and 12-item World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 scales are post-surgery patient-reported outcome measures. We aimed to evaluate the association between immediate in-hospital postoperative recovery and mid-term disability-free survival (DFS) after discharge. METHODS We conducted a prospective observational study at a university hospital and enrolled 260 patients aged ≥ 65 years with cancer who were undergoing elective major abdominal surgery. The association between poor postoperative recovery, defined as a QoR-15 score < 90 on postoperative day (POD) 2, and the DFS three months later was assessed using Fisher's exact test. The odds ratio of poor recovery on POD 2 to DFS was calculated using multiple logistic regression analysis adjusted for prominent factors (age, preoperative frailty, preoperative DFS, surgical duration, and intraoperative blood loss volume). RESULTS A total of 230 patients completed the 3-month follow-up. On POD 2, 27.3% of the patients (63/230) had poor recovery. A greater number of patients without poor recovery on POD 2 had DFS at three months after surgery (79.6%) than those with poor recovery (65.1%) (P = 0.026). The adjusted odds ratio of poor recovery on POD 2 to DFS at three months was 0.481 (95% CI [0.233, 0.994]). CONCLUSIONS Patients with poor recovery on POD 2 were less likely to have DFS three months after abdominal surgery. These findings may allow for early and effective interventions to be initiated based on each patient's condition after abdominal surgery.

Effectiveness of a digital vs face-to-face preoperative assessment: A randomized, noninferiority clinical trial. J Clin Anesth 2023; 90:111192. [PMID: 37467628 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinane.2023.111192] [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: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Digitalizing the preoperative assessment clinic can be a solution to keep up with the growing demand for surgery. It remains unclear if a digital preoperative assessment clinic is as safe, and effective in terms of patient health outcomes and experience compared to face-to-face consultations. This study aimed to compare quality of recovery and mental state in patients undergoing a digital preoperative assessment versus regular face-to-face consultations. DESIGN This was a single centre, randomized (1:1), parallel, open-label, noninferiority trial. SETTING The preoperative clinic and preoperative unit of an urban secondary care hospital. PATIENTS All adult, Dutch speaking, ASA I-IV patients with access to an online computer who required surgery. INTERVENTIONS Digital preoperative screening, consisting of an electronic screening questionnaire and web-based platform with personalized information and recommendations related to the procedure, or face-to-face screening, consisting of two 20-min in-hospital consultations. MEASUREMENTS The primary endpoint was quality of recovery, measured 48 h after surgery. The analysis followed a per-protocol principle, and only patients who underwent the intended screening were included in the analysis. The noninferiority margin was set at -6. The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05535205, during the study on 09/08/2022, before analysing results. MAIN RESULTS Between March 1, 2021 and 30 august 2021, 480 patients were assessed for eligibility. 400 patients were randomly assigned to the digital group (n = 200) or face-to-face group (n = 201), of which respectively 117 and 124 patients were eventually included in the primary analysis. The mean quality of recovery score of patients undergoing digital screening (158) was non-inferior to that of patients undergoing face-to-face screening (155), with a mean difference of 3·2 points and a 97.5% lower confidence limit of -2.1 points. There were no adverse events. CONCLUSIONS A digital preoperative screening is not inferior to face-to-face consultations in patients undergoing predominantly low to moderate risk surgery. Given its potential to reduce physician workload, reallocate healthcare resources, and lower healthcare costs, a digital preoperative screening may be a better choice for preoperative assessments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-focused evaluation of postoperative recover has been recognized as one of the most important concerns in postoperative medicine. Previous studies have shown that the Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) Questionnaire can be used to accurately assess the quality of recovery from surgery. During thyroid surgery using intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) technology, the strategy of low dose of muscle relaxant, intubation of different endotracheal tubes and electrical stimulation on vocal cord are applied. Its still unknown if these performances would affect patients' postoperative recovery in thyroid surgery patients. METHODS 82 patients were randomly assigned to the neuromonitoring group (NEURO Group) and the control group (CON Group). In the CON Group, rocuronium (0.6 mg / kg) was given for intubation and additional dose was injected if needed, while in the NEURO Group, only rocuronium (0.3 mg / kg) was given when induction. The primary outcome is the QoR-40 scores on postoperative day 1 (POD1) and postoperative day 3 (POD3). Other parameters, such as postoperative nausea or vomiting (PONV) and medical cost were also recorded. RESULTS One subject in each group was excluded, leaving 80 for analysis. In the NEURO Group, the global QoR-40 score, emotional state, physical comfort, physical independence and pain were significantly lower both on POD1 and POD3 (P<0.05). Patients in the NEURO Group had a higher incidence of PONV (P<0.05) and medical expense (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS After thyroidectomy, the patients using IONM suffer worse quality of recovery, more risk of PONV and increased medical expense.

Abstract
Patient reported outcomes measures (PROMS) are important endpoints to measure patient health status in the perioperative setting. However, there are no good tools to measure PROMS in the pediatric surgical population. Patients 7 to 17 years old undergoing surgery were included and followed up for 1 day after surgery (POD1). At POD1 the patients were asked to rate their overall postoperative recovery using a 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS). The primary outcome was the pediatric QoR-15 score on postoperative day 1 (POD1). 150 patients completed the study. The mean (SD) pediatric QoR-15F scores were 132.1 (14.1) and 111.0 (27.0), preoperatively and on POD1, respectively. Convergent validity confirmed with Pearson (r) correlation between the postoperative pediatric QoR-15F and the patient-rated global recovery assessment was 0.72 (95% confidence interval [0.63-0.79]; p < 10-16). Concerning reliability, internal consistency of the pediatric QoR-15 assessed by Cronbach's alpha was 0.90. The test-retest concordance correlation coefficient was 0.92; 95% CI [0.83-0.96]. Split-half alpha was 0.74. The pictorial pediatric version of the QoR-15F showed good validity, reliability, responsiveness, acceptability and feasibility. This PROMS should be considered for clinical care and research in the perioperative pediatric patient setting.Trial Registration: NCT04453410 on clinicaltrials.gov.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Delirium is a major public health issue for surgical patients and their families because it is associated with increased mortality, cognitive and functional decline, prolonged hospital admission and increased healthcare expenditures. Based on preliminary data, this trial tests the hypothesis that intravenous caffeine, given postoperatively, will reduce the incidence of delirium in older adults after major non-cardiac surgery. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The CAffeine, Postoperative Delirium And CHange In Outcomes after Surgery-2 (CAPACHINOS-2) Trial is a single-centre, placebo-controlled, randomised clinical trial that will be conducted at Michigan Medicine. The trial will be quadruple-blinded, with clinicians, researchers, participants and analysts all masked to the intervention. The goal is to enrol 250 patients with a 1:1:1: allocation ratio: dextrose 5% in water placebo, caffeine 1.5 mg/kg and caffeine 3 mg/kg as a caffeine citrate infusion. The study drug will be administered intravenously during surgical closure and on the first two postoperative mornings. The primary outcome will be delirium, assessed via long-form Confusion Assessment Method. Secondary outcomes will include delirium severity, delirium duration, patient-reported outcomes and opioid consumption patterns. A substudy analysis will also be conducted with high-density electroencephalography (72-channel system) to identify neural abnormalities associated with delirium and Mild Cognitive Impairment at preoperative baseline. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study was approved by the University of Michigan Medical School Institutional Review Board (HUM00218290). An independent data and safety monitoring board has also been empanelled and has approved the clinical trial protocol and related documents. Trial methodology and results will be disseminated via clinical and scientific journals along with social and news media. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05574400.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The postoperative QoR-15 questionnaire may improve the detection of postoperative complications on an early basis and contribute to optimize treatment and recovery. No validated Spanish QoR-15 questionnaire has been available to date. METHODS The Spanish QoR-15 questionnaire (QoR-15E), carried out by official bilingual translators, was administered to 242 adult patients undergoing elective surgery before and 24 h after surgery. Patients were asked about their perceived quality of general recovery using a visual analogue scale (VAS). A random subgroup of 36 patients completed a third questionnaire 30-60 min after having completed the first one, and under the same conditions. RESULTS The Pearson correlation coefficient between QoR-15E and the VAS score was 0.759. Cronbach's alpha was 0.856 in the postoperative period. Reliability by the split-half method was 0.781. Test-retest correlation coefficient was 0.998. Cohen's d was 0.94. The mean time to complete the preoperative questionnaire was 2.9 ± 0.5 min. CONCLUSIONS The QoR-15E is valid and reliable for assessing postoperative quality of recovery in Spanish-speaking patients, with psychometric and interpretative features similar to those of the original instrument.

Impact of Ketamine on Quality of Recovery after Laparoscopic Surgery: A Single-Centre Single-Blinded Trial Using the QoR-15 Questionnaire. Anesthesiol Res Pract 2023; 2023:8890025. [PMID: 36714040 PMCID: PMC9883102 DOI: 10.1155/2023/8890025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The quality of recovery is a cluster of patient-related outcomes that emphasise not only pain but different physical and emotional dimensions. Traditionally, ketamine is used to improve postoperative analgesia and avoid opioid consumption and opioid-related side effects. Objective The present study sought to evaluate if intraoperative ketamine administration (as a part of multimodal analgesia) influences the quality of recovery after laparoscopic surgery. Design A prospective two-armed, single-blinded trial. Settings. Tertiary single-centre trial between July 2021 and January 2022. Patients. From the 146 patients initially admitted to the study, 127 patients were enrolled, 60 in the ketamine group (group K) and 67 in the control group (group NK). Intervention. Both groups received a rigid intraoperative anaesthesia protocol; furthermore, in group K, 0.5 mg/kg of the ideal body weight of ketamine was administered. Main Outcome Measures. The primary outcome was to evaluate the effect of ketamine administration on the postoperative quality of recovery using the Portuguese version of the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) Questionnaire 24 h after surgery. The total score and minimal clinically significant difference (MCID) of the QoR-15 were compared. Other variables were also assessed such as the presence of emergence delirium (ED), the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain, and the presence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Results A total of 127 patients were allocated to the study groups, 60 in group K and 67 in group NK. Regarding the primary outcome, no differences were found in individual categories (15 items) and in the total score of QoR-15 (p=0.214). Concerning improvement (MCID ≥ 8) or worsening (MCID ≤ 8) in quality of recovery, no difference was found between the groups (24 vs. 32 and 6 vs. 6; p=0.776). Finally, no difference was found in secondary postoperative outcomes including ED (p=0.55), NRS (p=0.401), and PONV (p=0.55). Conclusion In this study, the administration of ketamine in laparoscopic surgery had no impact on the quality of recovery 24 h after surgery. This trial is registered with NCT03724019.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some evidences have reported that intravenous lidocaine and dexmedetomidine alone can improve the quality of recovery after surgery. The main purpose of our study to explore whether co-administration of lidocaine and dexmedetomidine infusion could further improve the quality of recovery after laparoscopic hysterectomy compared to either lidocaine or dexmedetomidine administration. METHODS A total of 160 subjects were randomly allocated to four groups: the control group (group C) received an equal volume of normal saline, the lidocaine group (group L) received lidocaine (1.5 mg/kg for bolus over 10 min before induction of anesthesia, 1.5 mg/kg/h for continuous infusion), the dexmedetomidine group (group D) received dexmedetomidine (0.5 µg/kg for bolus over 10 min before induction of anesthesia, 0.4 µg/kg/h for continuous infusion), the lidocaine plus dexmedetomidine group (group LD) received lidocaine (1.5 mg/kg for bolus over 10 min before induction of anesthesia, 1.5 mg/kg/h for continuous infusion) and dexmedetomidine combined infusion (0.5 µg/kg for bolus over 10 minutes before induction of anesthesia, 0.4 µg/kg/h for continuous infusion). The primary endpoint was the quality of recovery-40 (QoR-40) scores on postoperative day 1 (POD1). The quality of sleep on POD1, remifentanil total dose, visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, the number of patients with self-press the pump, time to open eye and extubation, length of postanesthesia care unit (PACU) stay, the incidence of intraoperative bradycardia, hypotension, arrhythmias, hypoxemia in the PACU, and nausea or vomiting within 24 h after surgery were regarded as the secondary outcomes. RESULTS The total QoR-40 scores were significantly increased in groups L, D, and LD on POD1 compared with group C (all P<0.05). The total QoR-40 scores were the highest in group LD on POD1 compared to other three groups (all P<0.001). Sleep quality was significantly improved in group LD compared to other three groups on POD1 (all P<0.05). The VAS pain scores were obviously reduced at 8 h in group L and at 4, 8 h in group D after surgery compared to group C and were the lowest in group LD (all P<0.05). The number of patients with self-press the pump was significantly reduced in groups D and LD compared to group C (8(20.0%) and 27(67.5%), P<0.001; 2(5.0%) and 27(67.5%), P<0.001, respectively). Length of PACU stay significantly prolonged in groups D (21.7±3.0) and LD (25.5±4.0) compared to group C (19.6±3.3) (P=0.028, P<0.001). The incidence of intraoperative bradycardia was significantly higher in groups D and LD than in groups C and L (all P<0.001). The rate of hypoxemia was higher in groups D (55.0%) and LD (70.0%) than in groups C (15.0%) and L (20.0%) (all P<0.05). The incidence of nausea was lower in group LD (10.0%) than in group C (37.5%) (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Co-administration of lidocaine plus dexmedetomidine infusion improved to some extent the quality of recovery on POD1 compared to lidocaine and dexmedetomidine alone, but it significantly increased the incidence of intraoperative bradycardia and hypoxemia in the PACU, and prolonged the length of PACU stay.

Optimal postoperative pain management after VATS lung resection by thoracic epidural analgesia, continuous paravertebral block or single-shot intercostal nerve block (OPtriAL): study protocol of a three-arm multicentre randomised controlled trial. BMC Surg 2022; 22:330. [PMID: 36058900 PMCID: PMC9441091 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-022-01765-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adequate pain control after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for lung resection is important to improve postoperative mobilisation, recovery, and to prevent pulmonary complications. So far, no consensus exists on optimal postoperative pain management after VATS anatomic lung resection. Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) is the reference standard for postoperative pain management following VATS. Although the analgesic effect of TEA is clear, it is associated with patient immobilisation, bladder dysfunction and hypotension which may result in delayed recovery and longer hospitalisation. These disadvantages of TEA initiated the development of unilateral regional techniques for pain management. The most frequently used techniques are continuous paravertebral block (PVB) and single-shot intercostal nerve block (ICNB). We hypothesize that using either PVB or ICNB is non-inferior to TEA regarding postoperative pain and superior regarding quality of recovery (QoR). Signifying faster postoperative mobilisation, reduced morbidity and shorter hospitalisation, these techniques may therefore reduce health care costs and improve patient satisfaction. METHODS This multi-centre randomised study is a three-arm clinical trial comparing PVB, ICNB and TEA in a 1:1:1 ratio for pain (non-inferiority) and QoR (superiority) in 450 adult patients undergoing VATS anatomic lung resection. Patients will not be eligible for inclusion in case of contraindications for TEA, PVB or ICNB, chronic opioid use or if the lung surgeon estimates a high probability that the operation will be performed by thoracotomy. PRIMARY OUTCOMES (1) the proportion of pain scores ≥ 4 as assessed by the numerical rating scale (NRS) measured during postoperative days (POD) 0-2; and (2) the QoR measured with the QoR-15 questionnaire on POD 1 and 2. Secondary outcome measures are cumulative use of opioids and analgesics, postoperative complications, hospitalisation, patient satisfaction and degree of mobility. DISCUSSION The results of this trial will impact international guidelines with respect to perioperative care optimization after anatomic lung resection performed through VATS, and will determine the most cost-effective pain strategy and may reduce variability in postoperative pain management. Trial registration The trial is registered at the Netherlands Trial Register (NTR) on February 1st, 2021 (NL9243). The NTR is no longer available since June 24th, 2022 and therefore a revised protocol has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov on August 5th, 2022 (NCT05491239). PROTOCOL VERSION version 3 (date 06-05-2022), ethical approval through an amendment (see ethical proof in the Study protocol proof).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The PEricapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block is a novel regional analgesia technique that provides improved analgesia in patients undergoing hip surgery while preserving motor function. In this study the PENG block was investigated for analgesia in elective total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS In this multi-centre double-blinded randomized-controlled trial, in addition to spinal anesthesia and local infiltration analgesia (LIA), THA patients received either a PENG block or a sham block. The primary outcome was pain score (numeric rating scale 0-10) 3 h postoperatively (Day 0). Secondary outcomes were postoperative quadriceps muscle strength, postoperative Day 1 pain scores, opiate use, complications, length of hospital stay, and patient-reported outcome measures. RESULTS Sixty patients were randomized and equally allocated between groups. Baseline demographics were similar. Postoperative Day 0, the PENG group experienced less pain compared to the sham group (PENG: 14 (47%) patients no pain, 14 (47%) mild pain, 2 (6%) moderate/severe pain versus sham: 6 (20%) no pain, 14 (47%) mild pain, 10 (33%) moderate/severe pain; p = 0.03). There was no difference in quadriceps muscle strength between groups on Day 0 (PENG: 23 (77%) intact versus sham: 24 (80%) intact; p = 0.24) and there were no differences in other secondary outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Patients receiving a PENG block for analgesia in elective THA experience less postoperative pain on Day 0 with preservation of quadriceps muscle strength. Despite these short-term benefits, no quality of recovery or longer lasting postoperative effects were detected.

Implementing PROMS for elective surgery patients: feasibility, response rate, degree of recovery and patient acceptability. J Patient Rep Outcomes 2022; 6:73. [PMID: 35798915 PMCID: PMC9263014 DOI: 10.1186/s41687-022-00483-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) engage patients in co-evaluation of their health and wellbeing outcomes. This study aimed to determine the feasibility, response rate, degree of recovery and patient acceptability of a PROM survey for elective surgery. METHODS We sampled patients with a broad range of elective surgeries from four major Australian hospitals to evaluate (1) feasibility of the technology used to implement the PROMs across geographically dispersed sites, (2) response rates for automated short message service (SMS) versus email survey delivery formats, (3) the degree of recovery at one and four weeks post-surgery as measured by the Quality of Recovery 15 Item PROM (QoR-15), and (4) patient acceptability of PROMS based on survey and focus group results. Feasibility and acceptability recommendations were then co-designed with stakeholders, based on the data. RESULTS Over three months there were 5985 surveys responses from 20,052 surveys (30% response rate). Feasibility testing revealed minor and infrequent technical difficulties in automated email and SMS administration of PROMs prior to surgery. The response rate for the QoR-15 was 34.8% (n = 3108/8919) for SMS and 25.8% (n = 2877/11,133) for email. Mean QoR-15 scores were 122.1 (SD 25.2; n = 1021); 113.1 (SD 27.7; n = 1906) and 123.4 (SD 26.84; n = 1051) for pre-surgery and one and four weeks post-surgery, respectively. One week after surgery, 825 of the 1906 responses (43%) exceeded 122.6 (pre-surgery average), and at four weeks post-surgery, 676 of the 1051 responses (64%) exceeded 122.6 (pre-surgery average). The PROM survey was highly acceptable with 76% (n = 2830/3739) of patients rating 8/10 or above for acceptability. Fourteen patient driven recommendations were then co-developed. CONCLUSION Administering PROMS electronically for elective surgery hospital patients was feasible, acceptable and discriminated changes in surgical recovery over time. Patient co-design and involvement provided innovative and practical solutions to implementation and new recommendations for implementation. Trial Registration and Ethical Approval ACTRN12621000298819 (Phase I and II) and ACTRN12621000969864 (Phase III). Ethics approval has been obtained from La Trobe University (Australia) Human Research Ethics Committee (HEC20479). KEY POINTS Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) help to engage patients in understanding their health and wellbeing outcomes. This study aimed to determine how patients feel about completing a PROM survey before and after elective surgery, and to develop a set of recommendations on how to roll out the survey, based on patient feedback. We found that implementing an electronic PROM survey before and after elective surgery was relatively easy to do and was well accepted by patients. Consumer feedback throughout the project enabled co-design of innovative and practical solutions to PROM survey administration.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programmes following hysterectomies have been studied since 2010, and their positive effects on clinical or economic criteria are now well established. However, the benefits on health outcomes, especially rapid recovery after surgery from patients' perspective is lacking in literature, leading to develop scores supporting person-centred and value-based care such as patient-reported outcome measures. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of an ERAS programme on patients' well-being after undergoing hysterectomy. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is an observational, prospective single-centre before-after clinical trial. 148 patients are recruited and allocated into two groups, before and after ERAS programme implementation, respectively. The ERAS programme consists in optimising factors dealing with early rehabilitation, such as preoperative patient education, multimodal pain management, early postoperative fluid taken and mobilisation. A self-questionnaire quality of recovery-15 (QoR-15) on the preoperative day 1 (D-1), postoperative day 0 evening (D0) and the postoperative day 1 (D+1) is completed by patients. Patients scheduled to undergo hysterectomy, aged 18 years and above, whose physical status are classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists score 1-3 and who are able to return home after being discharged from hospital and contact their physician or the medical department if necessary are recruited for this study. The total duration of inclusion is 36 months. The primary outcome is the difference in QoR-15 scores measured on D+1 which will be compared between the 'before' and the 'after' group, using multiple linear regression model. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Approval was obtained from the Ethical Committee (Paris, France). Subjects are actually being recruited after giving their oral agreement or non-objection to participate in this clinical trial and following the oral and written information given by the anaesthesiologist practitioner.Trial registration number: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04268576 (Pre-result).

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the effect of intravenous infusion of lidocaine compared with ultrasound-guided transverse abdominal plane (TAP) block on the quality of postoperative recovery and analgesic effect in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Patients and Methods Ninety-nine ASA II-III patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic bariatric surgery were randomized into the lidocaine group (group L), transverse abdominal plane block group (group T), and control group (group C). Group L: a loading dose of 1.5 mg/kg lidocaine was given at induction, followed by 2 mg·kg-1·h-1 maintenance until the end of surgery. Group T: ultrasound-guided bilateral administration of 0.25% ropivacaine in the transverse abdominal plane was given after induction of general anesthesia. Group C: no additional treatment was performed. Quality of recovery-40 (QoR-40) was assessed at 24 h after surgery. Consumption of propofol and remifentanil, visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores at rest at 0, 6, 12, and 24 h postoperatively, time to return of intestinal function, use of remedial analgesics within 24 h after surgery, adverse reactions were recorded. Results Compared with Group C, Group L and Group T had higher QoR-40 scores at 24 h postoperatively, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.002 and P=0.003, respectively). However, there was no difference between Group L and Group T (P=0.128). In addition, compared with those of Group T and Group C, VAS scores at 12 h and 24 h postoperatively were lower in Group L (P <0.0166). Conclusion Both intravenous infusion of lidocaine and ultrasound-guided TAP block provided good postoperative recovery and postoperative analgesia for patients with bariatric surgery, and intravenous infusion of lidocaine provided better analgesia at 12 h and 24 h postoperatively compared with TAP block.

Abstract
The aims of "Fast track" cardiac anesthesia including shortening time to tracheal extubation and to hospital discharge in selected patients. The evidence is weak and recommendations are mostly based on observational, nonrandomized data and expert opinion. The majority of outcomes studied include: time to tracheal extubation, hospital/ICU length of stay, procedure-related financial costs, and the type/amount of opioids used in the peri-operative period. There should be a shift in focus to generating higher quality evidence supporting the use of enhanced recovery protocols in cardiac surgical patients and finding ways to tailor enhanced recovery principles to all cardiac surgical patients. Research should focus on the quality of care for individual patients and the delivery of health care to the public.

Dent Res J (Isfahan) 2022; 19:15. [PMID: 35308454 PMCID: PMC8927957 DOI: 10.4103/1735-3327.338778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2021] [Revised: 09/15/2021] [Accepted: 09/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Remifentanil is a short-acting synthetic opioid, seems to facilitate hospital discharge, induce less agitation and better recovery quality. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of remifentanil on the quality of recovery among healthy children who were candidate for dental procedures under general anesthesia. Materials and Methods: This study was a double blind randomized controlled clinical trial on healthy children who referred to the Department of Pediatric dentistry, School of Dentistry, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. Both groups were anaesthetized using 5 mg/kg thiopental sodium, 1 μg/kg fentanyl and 0.6 μg/kg atracurium. The first group received propofol to maintain anesthesia and the second group was given remifentanil along with propofol. Then, the time span to regain consciousness, level of agitation during recovery and time of discharge were monitored and compared between the two groups. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U-test, and the Kruskal–Wallis test at P < 0.05 level of significance. Results: Findings showed that the propofol + remifentanil group recovered faster than the propofol group. Chi-square test showed a significant difference in recovery time between the two groups (P < 0.05). About 45 min after regaining consciousness, the mean pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium score in the propofol group was 4.02 ± 2.19 and was significantly higher than the propofol + remifentanil group (3.02 ± 2.83) (P < 0.05). In addition, the mean Postanesthetic Discharge Scoring System score in the propofol group was 6.04 ± 1.74 and was significantly higher than the propofol + remifentanil group (7.58 ± 2.14) (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Combination of propofol and remifentanil significantly reduced the time taken for recovery, discharge and agitation level compared to propofol.

Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane catheter versus video-assisted paravertebral catheter placement in minimally invasive thoracic surgery: comparing continuous infusion analgesic techniques on early quality of recovery, respiratory function and chronic persistent surgical pain: study protocol for a double-blinded randomised controlled trial. Trials 2021; 22:965. [PMID: 34963493 PMCID: PMC8715598 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-021-05863-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Compared to conventional thoracotomy, minimally invasive thoracic surgery (MITS) can reduce postoperative pain, reduce tissue trauma and contribute to better recovery. However, it still causes significant acute postoperative pain. Truncal regional anaesthesia techniques such as paravertebral and erector spinae blocks have shown to contribute to postoperative analgesia after MITS. Satisfactory placement of an ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral catheter can be technically challenging compared to an ultrasound-guided erector spinae catheter. However, in MITS, an opportunity arises for directly visualised placement of a paravertebral catheter by the surgeon under thoracoscopic guidance. Alongside with thoracic epidural, a paravertebral block is considered the “gold standard” of thoracic regional analgesic techniques. To the best of our knowledge, there are no randomised controlled trials comparing surgeon-administered paravertebral catheter and anaesthesiologist-assisted erector spinae catheter for MITS in terms of patient-centred outcomes such as quality of recovery. Methods This trial will be a prospective, double-blinded randomised controlled trial. A total of 80 eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive either an anaesthesiologist-assisted ultrasound-guided erector spinae catheter or a surgeon-assisted video-assisted paravertebral catheter, in a 1:1 ratio following induction of general anaesthesia for minimally assisted thoracic surgery. Both groups will receive the same standardised analgesia protocol for both intra- and postoperative periods. The primary outcome is defined as Quality of Recovery (QoR-15) score between the two groups at 24 h postoperative. Secondary outcomes include assessment of chronic persistent surgical pain (CPSP) at 3 months postoperative using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Short Form and Short Form McGill (SF-15) questionnaires, assessment of postoperative pulmonary function, area under the curve for Verbal Rating Score for pain at rest and on deep inspiration versus time over 48 h, total opioid consumption over 48 h, QoR-15 at 48 h, and postoperative complications and morbidity as measured by the Comprehensive Complication Index. Discussion Despite surgical advancements in thoracic surgery, severe acute postoperative pain following MITS is still prevailing. This study will provide recommendations about the efficacy of an anaesthesia-administered ultrasound-guided erector spinae catheter or surgeon-administered, video-assisted paravertebral catheter techniques for early quality of recovery following MITS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The effect of patient anxiety during the perioperative period has been shown to be of great importance in its influence on post-operative recovery. Over the last 10 years, virtual reality (VR) has been developed in anesthesia for patient's distraction by immersion. The aim of this study was to evaluate post-operative patient anxiety the day after TKA surgery under spinal anesthesia (SA) with or without VR distraction. MATERIALS AND METHODS A single-center, prospective cohort study was performed looking at patients undergoing TKA surgery under SA with a VR headset (group 1) compared with those undergoing the same procedure with standard protocol (group 2). Data using a validated scoring system looking at patient anxiety (STAI Y-1) were collected. Secondary endpoints were need for sedation during surgery, intraoperative complications (hypotension and oxygen need), postoperative pain and comfort scores (VAS) and patient satisfaction. RESULTS Ten patients (group 1) received the VR headset during surgery and 10 (group 2) received the standard protocol established in our center. Average age was 73 years old. No difference was found in post-operative patient anxiety regarding to STAI Y-1 score (95% CI - 7 to 10, p = 0.71. There was a decrease of sedation and intra-operative adverse event as hypotension and oxygen requirement in group 1 (p < 0.0001, p = 0.015, p = 0.0054), and a significant increase in comfort score (p = 0.002). No difference in patient satisfaction was found. CONCLUSION Using VR for immersive distraction seemed to lead to no difference in patient anxiety in TKA under SA. Intra-operative adverse events were decreased, and post-operative comfort was increased. Patient satisfaction was not modified. This preliminary study is encouraging and gives us arguments to involve larger number of patients while exploring the various possibilities offered by VR.

Abstract
Background: Acute postoperative pain is associated with poor quality of recovery after surgery. Perioperative use of intravenous lignocaine or dexmedetomidine have demonstrated better pain control, early return of bowel function, and effects on quality of recovery. Methods: Ninety-six women planned for elective robotic abdominal hysterectomy were randomized into four groups. Groups received lignocaine infusion (1.5 mg.kg−1 loading, 2 mg.kg−1.h−1 infusion) (Group I), dexmedetomidine infusion (1 µg.kg−1 loading, 0.6 µg.kg−1.h−1 infusion) (Group 2), lidocaine (1.5 mg.kg−1 loading, 2 mg.kg−1.h−1 infusion), and dexmedetomidine infusions (1 µg.kg−1 loading, 0.5 µg.kg−1.h−1 infusion) (Group 3), and normal saline 10 mL loading, 1 mL.kg−1.h−1 infusion) (Group 4). Primary outcome was visual analogue pain scores at 1, 2, 4, 12, and 24 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes included postoperative fentanyl requirement, time of return of bowel sounds and flatus, QoR15 score on day 1, 2, and discharge. Results: The VAS was significantly lower in Groups 2 and 3 compared to Groups 1 and 4. Total postoperative fentanyl consumption in the first 24 hours was 256.25 ± 16.36 mcg (Group 1), 177.71 ± 16.81 mcg (Group 2), 114.17 ± 16.19 mcg (Group 3), and 304.42 ± 31.26 mcg (Group 4), respectively. Time to return of bowel sounds and passage of flatus was significantly shorter in Groups 2 and 3 (p < 0.01). QoR15 scores after surgery were higher in Group 3 compared to Groups 1, 2, and 4, (p < 0.01) respectively. Conclusion: Combined infusion of lignocaine and dexmedetomidine significantly decreased postoperative pain, fentanyl consumption, and improved quality of recovery score after surgery in patients undergoing Robotic abdominal hysterectomy.

Abstract
Purpose The Nuss procedure is a recognized treatment for adolescent pectus excavatum that results in severe postoperative pain. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a novel technique that provides postoperative analgesia and reduces opioid consumption. Our aim is to explore whether ESPB produces analgesia similar to thoracic epidural anaesthesia (TEA) in paediatric patients undergoing Nuss procedure. Study Design and Methods This randomized, controlled, non-inferiority trial will enrol 300 paediatric patients undergoing Nuss surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned 1:1 to receive ESPB or TEA preoperatively. The primary, joint endpoint is the average numeric rating scale (NRS) score and cumulative sufentanil consumption. The secondary endpoints are pain scores and sufentanil consumption at different time points after surgery, analgesia-related side effects, and other postoperative complications. Data will be analysed by the intention-to-treat principle. Discussion This study investigates the effect of ESPB on postoperative opioid consumption and pain scores and intend to provide a new strategy of analgesia management for Nuss procedure in paediatric patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) has become increasingly popular for postoperative analgesia after breast surgery. We designed this prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to test the hypothesis that TPVB is superior to placebo in improving the patient quality of recovery following modified radical mastectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty-eight female patients undergoing elective unilateral modified radical mastectomy were enrolled. Patients were randomized to receive preoperative ultrasound-guided TPVB with 0.5% ropivacaine (TPVB group, n=34) or 0.9% saline (Control group, n=34). The primary outcome was quality of recovery, measured 24 h after surgery using the 40-item Quality of recovery questionnaire (QoR-40). Secondary outcomes were the area under the curve of the visual analog scale pain scores over 24 h, postoperative 24-h morphine consumption, time to first rescue analgesia, length of post-anesthesia care unit stay, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and patient satisfaction. RESULTS The global QoR-40 score 24 h postoperatively (median [interquartile range]) was 173 [170-177] in the TPVB group and 161 [160-164] in the control group (P<0.001), respectively, with a median difference (95% confidence interval) of 11 (9-14). Compared with the control group, preoperative TPVB decreased the area under the curve of the visual analog scale pain scores over 24 h, reduced postoperative 24-h morphine consumption, prolonged the time to first rescue analgesia, shortened the length of post-anesthesia care unit stay, lessened postoperative nausea and vomiting, and improved the patient satisfaction. CONCLUSION A single preoperative injection of TPVB with ropivacaine enhances the quality of recovery and postoperative analgesia in patients following modified radical mastectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common surgical procedure that frequently results in substantial postoperative pain. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been shown to have beneficial postoperative analgesic effects when used as a part of multimodal analgesia. The aim of this study was to determine whether ESPB improves postoperative recovery quality in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Evaluation of the effects of ESPB on postoperative pain, opioid consumption, and nausea and vomiting was the secondary objective. METHODS In this prospective double-blind study, 82 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomised into one of two groups: a standard multimodal analgesic regimen in Group N (control) or an ESPB was performed in Group E. Preoperative and postoperative recovery quality was measured using the 40-item quality of recovery (QoR-40) questionnaire; postoperative pain was evaluated using the numerical rating scale scores. RESULTS Postoperative mean (standard deviation) QoR-40 scores were higher in Group E (181 [7.3]) than in Group N (167 [11.4]); P<0.01. With repeated measures, a significant effect of group and time was demonstrated for the global QoR-40 score, P<0.01, indicating better quality of recovery in Group E. Pain scores were significantly lower in Group E than in Group N, both during resting and motion at T1-T8 times (P<0.01 at each time). The total amount of tramadol consumed in the first 24 h was lower in Group E [median 0 mg, inter-quartile range (IQR) (0-140)], than in Group N [median 180 mg, IQR (150-240); P<0.01]. CONCLUSIONS ESPB improved postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Moreover, ESPB reduced pain scores and cumulative opioid consumption.

Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize and compare patient-reported recovery of function after cataract or glaucoma surgery using a novel visual analog scale. DESIGN Prospective observational cohort study. METHODS Daily for 2 weeks and weekly thereafter, patients recovering from trabeculectomy, tube shunt implantation, or cataract extraction (CE) completed a diary-style questionnaire including visual analog scales (VASs; scored 0-100) grading pain and global function. Clinical examination data and medical histories were collected. Generalized estimating equation models evaluated associations between VAS function scores and pain or visual acuity (VA) and compared scores between surgery types. RESULTS Among 51 participants followed for 12 weeks, tube shunt placement reduced postoperative day 1 (POD1) function by 47 of 100 points vs CE (P = .006), while trabeculectomy did not reduce POD1 function vs CE (P = .33). After CE, trabeculectomy, and tube shunt placement, average VAS function scores increased 13.94 per week for 2 weeks (P < .001), 4.18 per week for 4 weeks (P = .02), and 7.76 per week for 7 weeks (P < .001), respectively. After those timepoints, there was no further significant change. Beyond 2 weeks, pain levels plateaued, and VA returned to baseline across surgery types; function was inversely related to pain or VA only for the first 2 or 4 weeks, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Patients recovering from cataract and glaucoma surgery report reduced function in the postoperative period. Tube shunt implantation causes greater morbidity than trabeculectomy, and both are associated with slower improvement than CE. Early postoperative function is associated with VA and pain, but neither fully explains reported impairment. A VAS for function may efficiently capture postoperative recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our institution previously initiated a perioperative surgical home initiative to improve quality and efficiency across the hospital arc of care of primary total knee arthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty patients. Phase II of this project aimed to (1) expand the perioperative surgical home to include revision total hip arthroplasties and total knee arthroplasties, hip preservation procedures, and reconstructions after oncologic resections; (2) expand the project to include the preoperative phase; and (3) further refine the perioperative surgical home goals accomplished in phase I. METHODS Phase II of the Orthopedic Surgery and Anesthesiology Surgical Improvement Strategies project ran from July 2018 to July 2019. The evaluated arc of care spanned from the preoperative surgical consult visit through 90 days postoperative in the expanded population described above. RESULTS Mean length of stay decreased from 2.2 days to 2.0 days (P < .001), 90-day readmission decreased from 3.0% to 1.6% (P < .001), and Press-Ganey scores increased from 77.1 to 79.2 (97th percentile). Mean and maximum pain scores and opioid consumption remained unchanged (lowest P = .31). Annual surgical volume increased by 10%. Composite changes in surgical volume and cost reductions equaled $5 million. CONCLUSION Application of previously successful health systems engineering tools and methods in phase I of Orthopedic Surgery and Anesthesiology Surgical Improvement Strategies enabled additional evolution of an orthopedic perioperative surgical home to encompass more diverse and complex patient populations while increasing system-wide quality, safety, and financial outcomes. Improved process and outcomes metrics reflected increased efficiency across the episode of care without untoward effects. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III Therapeutic.

[PMID: 34045132 DOI: 10.1016/j.asjsur.2021.05.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2020] [Revised: 01/09/2021] [Accepted: 05/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy may delay recovery and discharge, a multimodal and pre-emptive analgesic approach is necessary. This study demonstrated that a multimodal analgesic bundle improves postoperative recovery, using the Quality of Recovery-40K (QoR-40K) questionnaire during the first 24 h after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS In this prospective non-randomized study with two parallel groups, 80 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were allocated into either the multimodal analgesia group or the conventional analgesia group. The multimodal analgesia group received a pre-emptive analgesic bundle (preoperative intravenous administration of paracetamol, ketorolac, and dexamethasone, and a posterior approach to the transversus abdominis plane block), while the conventional analgesia group did not. The primary outcome was the QoR-40K score during the first 24 h after surgery. Secondary outcomes were the peak visual analog scale pain score at rest and the incidence rates of rescue analgesic use and nausea/vomiting during the first 24 h after surgery. RESULTS The QoR-40K score was higher in the multimodal analgesia group than in the conventional analgesia group (196 [190-199] vs. 182 [172-187], p < 0.001). The peak visual analog scale pain score was significantly lower in the multimodal analgesia group than in the conventional analgesia group. Multimodal analgesia also reduced the incidence rates of rescue analgesic use and postoperative nausea/vomiting (22.5% [95% CI, 9.6-35.4%] vs. 55.0% [39.6-70.4%], p = 0.003), compared to conventional analgesia. CONCLUSIONS Multimodal analgesia significantly improves the quality of early postoperative recovery after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, as shown by the QoR-40K score.

Continuous erector spinae plane block versus thoracic epidural analgesia in video-assisted thoracic surgery: a study protocol for a prospective randomized open label non-inferiority trial. Trials 2021; 22:321. [PMID: 33947442 PMCID: PMC8094519 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-021-05275-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2020] [Accepted: 04/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Thoracic epidural analgesia is considered the gold standard for pain relief in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. This neuraxial technique blocks pain sensation by injecting a local anesthetic agent in the epidural space near the spinal cord to block spinal nerve roots. Recently, the erector spinae plane block has been introduced as a practical alternative to the thoracic epidural. This interfascial regional anesthesia technique interrupts pain sensation by injecting a local anesthetic agent in between the muscular layers of the thoracic wall. Several case series and three RCTs described it as an effective pain management technique in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (Scimia et al., Reg Anesth Pain Med 42:537, 2017; Adhikary et al., Indian J Anaesth 62:75-8, 2018; Kim, A randomized controlled trial comparing continuous erector spinae plane block with thoracic epidural analgesia for postoperative pain management in video-assisted thoracic surgery, n.d.; Yao et al., J Clin Anesth 63:109783, 2020; Ciftci et al., J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 34:444-9, 2020). The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that a continuous erector spinae plane block incorporated into an opioid-based systemic multimodal analgesia regimen is non-inferior in terms of the quality of postoperative recovery compared to continuous thoracic epidural local anesthetic-opioid analgesia in patients undergoing elective unilateral video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. METHODS This is a prospective randomized open label non-inferiority trial. A total of 90 adult patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery will be randomized 1:1 to receive pain treatment with either (1) continuous erector spinae plane block plus intravenous patient-controlled analgesia with piritramide (study group) or (2) continuous thoracic epidural analgesia with a local anesthetic-opioid infusate (control group). All patients will receive additional systemic multimodal analgesia with paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The primary endpoint is the quality of recovery as measured by the Quality of Recovery-15 score. Secondary endpoints are postoperative pain as Numerical Rating Score scores, length of hospital stay, failure of analgesic technique, postoperative morphine-equivalent consumption, itching, nausea and vomiting, total operative time, complications related to surgery, perioperative hypotension, complications related to pain treatment, duration of bladder catheterization, and time of first assisted mobilization > 20 m and of mobilization to sitting in a chair. DISCUSSION This randomized controlled trial aims to confirm whether continuous erector spinae plane block plus patient-controlled opioid analgesia can equal the analgesic effect of a thoracic epidural local anesthetic-opioid infusion in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to explore the effects of lidocaine on postoperative quality of recovery (QoR) and immune function in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. Methods In total, 135 patients were enrolled and were equally randomized to receive low-dose lidocaine (Group LL: 1.5 mg/kg bolus followed by an infusion at 1.0 mg/kg/hour) or high-dose lidocaine (Group HL: 1.5 mg/kg bolus followed by an infusion at 2.0 mg/kg/hour) or Controls (Group C: received a volume-matched normal saline at the same rate). The primary outcome was a QoR-40 score on postoperative day (POD) 1. Secondary outcomes were a QoR-40 score on POD 3, levels of inflammatory factors (IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α) and CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells proportions, and CD4+/CD8+ cell ratios and postoperative recovery of bowel function. Results There were no statistically significant differences in patient characteristics at baseline. The total QoR-40 scores on POD 1 in Group HL (171.4±3.89) were higher than those in Group LL (166.20±4.05) and in Group C (163.40±4.38) (adjusted P<0.001). Differences in the dimension scores of QoR-40 for pain, physical comfort, and emotional state were significant across the three groups. Lidocaine administration significantly reduced the release of IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, and attenuated immune changes induced by trauma. Kaplan–Meier curves showed that the median time to the first exhaust and defecation were shorter in the Group HL than in Groups LL and C (1.55 days vs 2.4 days vs 2.6 days, log rank P<0.0001; and 2.86 days vs 3.22 days vs 3.46 days, log rank P=0.002, respectively). Additionally, patients in lidocaine groups required less remifentanil consumption and experienced lower pain intensity, compared with the control group. Conclusion Systemic lidocaine improved postoperative recovery, alleviated inflammation and immunosuppression, and accelerated the return of bowel function, and is thus, worthy of clinical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous data show that lidocaine or magnesium has unique characteristics of stress inhibition and antiinflammation. OBJECTIVE We aimed to observe the effects of lidocaine or magnesium on the quality of recovery (QoR) after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. DESIGN Single-centre, prospective, randomised, double-blind study. SETTING The Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from March 2019 to October 2019. PATIENTS One hundred and fourteen patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. INTERVENTION The enrolled patients were randomly divided into three groups. Lidocaine (group L), magnesium sulphate (group M) or 0.9% saline (group C) was administered intravenously 10 min before induction. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The quality of recovery 15 (QoR-15) score, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score were selected. The usage of propofol and remifentanil, haemodynamic parameters, anaesthesia recovery parameters and adverse events were also evaluated. RESULTS The QoR-15 scores for group L (132.0) and group M (134.0) were 6 and 8 points higher than that of group C (126.0) on POD1 (postoperative day 1) (adjP < 0.05). However, the decrease of QoR-15 in Group L is less than the minimal clinically important difference (8).The NRS scores on POD1 in group C 3, were higher than other two groups (adjP < 0.05). The dosage of remifentanil in group L was lower than other two groups (adjP < 0.05).The physical independence of group L and group M and physical comfort of group M were improved compared with group C. CONCLUSION The results show that magnesium sulphate improved the QoR through improving physical comfort and physical independence in patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, lidocaine had limited effects on QoR under current conditions. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR1800019092 (www.chictr.org.cn).

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of lidocaine on postoperative quality of recovery and lung protection of patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer. Patients and Methods Seventy ASA II–III patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer were randomly assigned into either the lidocaine group (Group L) or control group (Group C). Patients in Group L received lidocaine with a 1.5 mg/kg bolus before induction of anesthesia, followed by 2.0 mg/kg/h until the end of the operation while the patients in Group C received volume-matched normal saline at the same rate. The main outcome was the quality of recovery-40 score (QoR-40 score) at 24 h postoperatively. The peak airway pressure (Ppeak) and plateau airway pressure (Pplat), the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (PaCO2), alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient (A-aDO2), oxygenation index (OI), time to first flatus and defecation, intraoperative hemodynamics and opioid consumption were also recorded. Results There were no statistically difference at patients’ baseline characteristics. The QoR-40 score of Group L was significantly higher than that of Group C at 24 h after surgery (P=0.014). Ppeak, Pplat, and A-aDO2 of Group L were significantly lower than those of Group C (P<0.001, P<0.001, P=0.025, respectively) after the ventilation recovery of both lungs, and the PaO2 and OI of the Group L were significantly higher than those of Group C (P=0.027, P=0.027, respectively). Time to first flatus and defecation in Group L was significantly lower compared with Group C (P=0.037, P=0.025, respectively). Conclusion Intravenous lidocaine can improve the quality of recovery of patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer, while also providing lung protection, favorable postoperative analgesia, a reduction in the time to first flatus and defecation after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Because of the indiscriminate use of opioids during the perioperative period, opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) has been increasingly required. Nevertheless, the studies on the detailed techniques and effects of OFA are not sufficient. The Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) questionnaire is a validated assessment tool for measuring recovery from general anesthesia. However, no study has used the QoR-40 to determine if OFA leads to better recovery than standard general anesthesia. Therefore, we aim to perform this study to determine the effects of OFA using dexmedetomidine and lidocaine on the quality of recovery as well as the various postoperative outcomes. METHODS The participants (n = 78) will be allocated to one of the two groups; the study group will receive bolus and infusion of dexmedetomidine and lidocaine, and the control group will receive remifentanil infusion during general anesthesia for gynecological laparoscopy. The other processes including anesthetic and postoperative care will be performed similarly in the two groups. Intraoperative hemodynamic, anesthetic, and nociceptive variables will be recorded. Postoperative outcomes such as QoR-40, pain severity, and opioid-related side effects will be assessed. Additionally, an ancillary cytokine study (inflammatory cytokine, stress hormone, and reactive oxygen species) will be performed during the study period. DISCUSSION This will be the first study to determine the effect of OFA, using the combination of dexmedetomidine and lidocaine, on the quality of recovery after gynecological laparoscopy compared with standard general anesthesia using remifentanil. The findings from this study will provide scientific and clinical evidence on the efficacy of OFA. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04409964 . Registered on 28 May 2020.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative ambulation is an important tenet in enhanced recovery programs. We quantitatively assessed the correlation of decreased postoperative ambulation with postoperative complications and delays in gastrointestinal function. METHODS Patients undergoing major abdominal surgery were fitted with digital ankle pedometers yielding continuous measurements of their ambulation. Primary endpoints were the overall and system-specific complication rates, with secondary endpoints being the time to first passage of flatus and stool, the length of hospital stay, and the rate of readmission. RESULTS 100 patients were enrolled. We found a significant, independent inverse correlation between the number of steps on the first and second postoperative days (POD1/2) and the incidence of complications as well as the recovery of GI function and the likelihood of readmission (P < .05). POD2 step count was an independent risk factor for severe complications (P = .026). DISCUSSION Digitally quantified ambulation data may be a prognostic biomarker for the likelihood of severe postoperative complications.

Abstract
Deep serratus anterior plane block has been widely adopted as an analgesic adjunct for patients undergoing breast surgery, but robust supporting evidence of efficacy is lacking. We randomly allocated 40 patients undergoing simple or partial mastectomy with sentinel node biopsy to receive either a pre-operative deep serratus anterior plane block (serratus group) or a placebo injection (sham group), in addition to systemic analgesia. The primary outcome measure was the quality of recovery score at discharge, as assessed by the quality of recovery-15 questionnaire at various time-points. Secondary analgesic outcomes included: pain severity; postoperative opioid consumption; opioid-related side-effects; patient satisfaction up to 7 days postoperatively; and persistent postoperative pain up to 3 months after surgery. All patients who were recruited completed the study. There were no differences in the quality of recovery-15 scores between patients in the serratus and control groups, with mean (SD) scores of 96 (14) and 102 (20) for the control and serratus groups, respectively. We were also unable to detect differences in any of the secondary analgesic outcomes examined. The addition of a deep serratus anterior plane block to systemic analgesia does not enhance quality of recovery in patients undergoing ambulatory breast cancer surgery.

Abstract
The effect of intra-operative intravenous methadone on quality of postoperative recovery was compared with morphine after laparoscopic gastroplasty. We included 137 adult patients with a body mass index > 35 kg.m-2 who underwent bariatric surgery. Patients were allocated at random to receive either intra-operative methadone (n = 69) or morphine (n = 68). All patients received the same postoperative care and analgesia. The primary outcome of postoperative quality of recovery was assessed using the Quality of Recovery-40 questionnaire total score 24 h after surgery. Secondary outcomes were assessed in the post-anaesthesia care unit the night of the day of surgery (T1), in the morning after surgery (T2); and at night on the day following surgery (T3). The median (IQR [range]) total Quality of Recovery-40 questionnaire score of 194 (190-197 [165-200]) was higher (p < 0.0001) in the methadone group compared with the score of 181 (174-185.5 [121-200]) in the morphine group. In the post-anaesthesia care unit, the pain burden; incidence of nausea and vomiting; rescue morphine dose; and time to discharge, were significantly lower in the methadone group. On the ward, the methadone group had a lower: incidence of rescue morphine requests at T1 (5.8 vs. 54.4%, p < 0.0001) and T2 (0 vs. 20.1%, p < 0.0001); and incidence of nausea (21.7 vs. 41.2%, p = 0.014), compared with the morphine group. We conclude that intra-operative intravenous methadone improved quality of recovery in patients who underwent laparoscopic gastroplasty, compared with intra-operative morphine. Methadone also reduced postoperative pain, postoperative opioid consumption and the incidence of opioid-related adverse events.
