Abstract
INTRODUCTION In this study, we investigate the effects of smoking on pain scores, vital signs, and analgesic consumption in the intraoperative and postoperative period in patients undergoing tympanomastoidectomy surgery. METHODS A total of 100 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists I-II status, aged 18-55 years, and who were planned to undergo tympanomastoidectomy surgery were divided into two groups: smokers (Group 1) and non-smokers (Group 2). The patients were compared for preoperative, intraoperative, and 24-hour postoperative carboxyhemoglobin, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, heart rate, pain intensity and verbal numerical rating scales, the extent of patient-controlled tramadol dose, nausea, and vomiting. RESULTS There were 50 individuals in each group. Postoperative analgesic consumption and pain scores were higher in Group 1, and the first postoperative pain was felt earlier. Furthermore, in Group 1, preoperative carboxyhemoglobin levels and postoperative nausea were statistically higher before, after, and at the tenth minute after induction, whereas oxygen saturation was lower. The two groups had no statistical difference regarding intraoperative and postoperative vital signs. Postoperative analgesic consumption was not affected by age or gender. CONCLUSIONS Smoking changes postoperative pain management, especially for this kind of operation, and these patients feel more pain and need more postoperative analgesic doses. Therefore, effective postoperative pain control should take account of smoking behavior, and analgesic doses may need to be adjusted for patients who smoke.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tobacco addiction is the leading cause of preventable death. During the perioperative period, patients who smoke are at increased risk of systemic as well as surgical site complications. STATE OF THE ART Surgery is an ideal time for change of lifestyle habits. It is vital to seize this opportunity to improve the patient's health in the long- as well as the short-term. Smoking cessation should be encouraged in all surgical patients. Initiating smoking cessation combines pharmacological treatment and a behavioral approach. In this field, significant advances have been recorded over the last decade. This review proposes a practical approach that every practitioner will be able to apply. PERSPECTIVES In this review, we will also examine ongoing research, particularly as regards vaccination and the place of biomarkers. CONCLUSIONS Smoking represents a major source of health-related complications. Smoking cessation must therefore remain a priority in the management of medical and surgical patients.

Abstract
Background: Electrocautery is an option for skin incision for the neck, abdominal or inguinal surgery, but is not generally used for hand surgery. The aim of this study was to clarify whether electrocautery skin incision would be beneficial in open carpal tunnel release (OCTR). Methods: A total of 16 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome underwent skin incision for OCTR using either a scalpel (n = 9) or a microdissection diathermy needle (n = 7). Postoperative pain was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS 0-100 mm) daily from postoperative days 1 till 7. Results: The diathermy group reported higher VAS scores (mean 80 mm) on the first postoperative day versus the scalpel group mean of 35 mm (p < 0.001). We continued measuring pain for 7 days after the surgery and found higher VAS scores for the diathermy group in the first 6 days. Conclusions: The use of electrocautery is associated with greater pain score in the first postoperative 6 days following OCTR. Level of Evidence: Level III (Therapeutic).

Abstract
Smoking is a known risk factor for developing various pain-related disorders. However, acute pain often triggers the craving for cigarette consumption, resulting in a positive feedback mechanism. In addition, there is evidence of decreased pain tolerance during the early stages of abstinence. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate whether a period of decreased pain tolerance and increased pain intensity occurs during smoking cessation. A systematic literature search was conducted through PubMed and Web of Science databases for controlled studies investigating the influence of smoking cessation on acute (defined as pain presentation of < 3 months) and postoperative pain. The outcomes of interest included pain perception threshold, pain tolerance, pain intensity, and postoperative opioid requirements. The search strategy yielded 1478 studies, of which 13 clinical studies met our inclusion criteria. The included studies collectively represented data from 1721 participants from four countries. Of these, 43.3% of the included individuals were females. The mean age of the included subjects was 44.2 ± 8.2 years. The duration of smoking cessation varied considerably. The shortest duration was 2 h; others investigated the effect after more than 1 month of smoking cessation. Smokers had a history of 14.6 ± 9.9 years of nicotine abuse. The mean number of daily smoked cigarettes was 17.5 ± 10.3. Most studies examined in this systematic review show a negative influence of smoking cessation on acute pain. However, the affected pain modalities, the duration of the altered pain perception, and whether male and female smokers are equally affected could not be ascertained due to high heterogeneity and few available studies.

Abstract
Chronic pain begins with acute pain. Physicians tend to classify pain by duration (acute vs chronic) and mechanism (nociceptive, neuropathic and nociplastic). Although this taxonomy may facilitate diagnosis and documentation, such categories are to some degree arbitrary constructs, with significant overlap in terms of mechanisms and treatments. In clinical practice, there are myriad different definitions for chronic pain and a substantial portion of chronic pain involves mixed phenotypes. Classification of pain based on acuity and mechanisms informs management at all levels and constitutes a critical part of guidelines and treatment for chronic pain care. Yet specialty care is often siloed, with advances in understanding lagging years behind in some areas in which these developments should be at the forefront of clinical practice. For example, in perioperative pain management, enhanced recovery protocols are not standardized and tend to drive treatment without consideration of mechanisms, which in many cases may be incongruent with personalized medicine and mechanism-based treatment. In this educational document, we discuss mechanisms and classification of pain as it pertains to commonly performed surgical procedures. Our goal is to provide a clinical reference for the acute pain physician to facilitate pain management decision-making (both diagnosis and therapy) in the perioperative period.

Abstract
Smoking is closely associated with the development of various cancers and tobacco-related illnesses such as cardiovascular and respiratory disorders. However, data are scarce on the relationship between smoking and both acute and chronic pain. In addition to nicotine, tobacco smoke contains more than 4000 different compounds. Although nicotine is not the sole cause of smoking-induced diseases, it plays a critical role in pain-related pathophysiology. Despite the acute analgesic effects of nicotine, long-term exposure leads to tolerance and increased pain sensitivity due to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor desensitization and neuronal plastic changes. The purpose of smoking cessation interventions in smoking patients with pain is primarily not only to reduce their pain and associated limitations in activities of daily living, but also to improve the outcomes of underlying pain-causing conditions and reduce the risks of tobacco-related disorders. This statement aims to summarize the available evidence on the impact of smoking on pain and to inform medical professionals of the significance of smoking cessation in patients with pain.

Abstract
The perioperative management of patients who are smokers presents anesthesiologists with various challenges related to respiratory, circulatory, and other clinical problems. Regarding 30-day postoperative outcomes, smokers have higher risks of mortality and complications than non-smokers, including death, pneumonia, unplanned tracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Given the benefits of smoking cessation and the adverse effects of smoking on perioperative patient management, patients should quit smoking long before surgery. However, anesthesiologists cannot address these issues alone. The Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists established guidelines in 2015 (published in a medical journal in 2017) to enlighten surgical staff members and patients regarding perioperative tobacco cessation. The primary objective of perioperative smoking cessation is to reduce the risks of adverse cardiovascular and respiratory events, wound infection, and other perioperative complications. Perioperative preparations constitute a powerful teachable moment, a "golden opportunity" for smoking cessation to achieve improved primary disease outcomes and prevent the occurrence of tobacco-related conditions. This review updates the aforementioned guidelines as a practical guide to cover the nuts and bolts of perioperative smoking cessation. Its goal is to assist surgeons, anesthesiologists, and other medical professionals and to increase patients' awareness of smoking risks before elective surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify microRNA biomarkers and clinical factors associated with neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury. DESIGN Cross-sectional, secondary analysis of baseline data collected from ongoing clinical studies. Using a genome-wide microRNA screening approach, we studied differential microRNA expression in serum from 43 adults with spinal cord injury enrolled in ongoing clinical studies. Least squares regression was used to identify associations between microRNA expression, clinical factors, and neuropathic pain severity. SETTING Community-dwelling individuals with spinal cord injury. PARTICIPANTS Participants (N=43) were at least 18 years old with spinal cord injury, with 28 reporting neuropathic pain and 15 reporting no neuropathic pain. INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Pain presence, type, and intensity were assessed with the International Spinal Cord Injury Pain Basic Data Set. Serum microRNA normalized deep sequencing counts were quantified from blood samples. Participant demographic factors, injury characteristics, medication use, and health habits were collected via questionnaire. RESULTS miR-338-5p expression and history of cigarette smoking were associated with and explained 37% of the variance in neuropathic pain severity (R2=0.37, F2,18=5.31, P=.02) independent of other clinical factors. No association was identified between miR-338-5p levels and nociceptive pain severity. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that miR-338-5p and cigarette smoking may both play a role in the development or maintenance of neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury. While additional work is needed to confirm these findings, validated target analysis suggests a neuroprotective role of miR-338-5p in modulating neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis and that its downregulation may result in maladaptive neuroplastic mechanisms contributing to neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury.

Abstract
Introduction Preexisting chronic pain has been reported to be a consistent risk factor for severe acute postoperative pain. However, each specific chronic pain condition has unique pathophysiology, and it is possible that the effect of each condition on postoperative pain is different. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study of pregnant women with preexisting chronic pain conditions (i.e., migraine, chronic back pain, and the combination of migraine + chronic back pain), who underwent cesarean delivery. The effects of the three chronic pain conditions on time-weighted average (TWA) pain score (primary outcome) and opioid dose requirements in morphine milligram equivalents (MME) during postoperative 48 hours were compared. Results The TWA pain score was similar in preexisting migraine and chronic back pain. Chronic back pain was associated with significantly greater opioid dose requirements than migraine (12.92 MME, 95% CI: 0.41 to 25.43, P=0.041). Preoperative opioid use (P < 0.001) was associated with a greater TWA pain score. Preoperative opioid use (P < 0.001), smoking (P=0.004), and lower postoperative ibuprofen dose (P=0.002) were associated with greater opioid dose requirements. Conclusions Findings suggest women with chronic back pain and migraine do not report different postpartum pain intensities; however, women with preexisting chronic back pain required 13 MME greater opioid dose than those with migraine during 48 hours after cesarean delivery.

Abstract
Aim: Determine if incentive spirometry (IS) values correlate with postoperative pain control. Design: Prospective observational study. Setting & participants: A total of 100 patients undergoing major abdominal procedures at the University of North Carolina Medical Center. Interventions: Patients studied as a single cohort. All patients received thoracic epidural analgesia preoperatively. Outcome: Preoperative and daily postoperative numeric pain scores, subjective pain description and IS values were collected for all patients. Results: There was a strong correlation with IS values relative to baseline for both the numeric pain scores (p < 0.0001), postoperative day (p < 0.0001) and the subjective pain score (p < 0.0007). Conclusion: IS values are an objective surrogate data point for pain control after surgery, particularly when followed over time and compared with a preoperative baseline value.

Abstract
PURPOSE Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is usually effective, although not all patients have satisfactory outcomes. This assumes distinct recovery patterns might exist. Little attention has been paid to determine which patients have worse outcomes. This study attempts to distinguish specific recovery patterns using the Oxford knee score (OKS) during the first postoperative year. The secondary aim was to explore predictors of less favourable recovery patterns. METHODS Analysis of patients in the Dutch Arthroplasty Register (LROI) with unilateral primary TKA. Data collected up to one year postoperative was used. To identify subgroups of patients based on OKS, latent class growth modeling (LCGM) was used. Moreover, multivariable multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to explore predictors of class membership. RESULTS 809 Patients completed three OKS during the first year postoperative and were included. LCGM identified 3 groups of patients; 'high risers' (most improvement during first 6-months, good 12-month scores 77%), 'gradual progressors' (continuous improvement during the first year 13%) and 'non responders' (initial improvement and subsequent deterioration to baseline score 10%). Predictors of least favourable class membership (OR, 95%CI) are EQ-5D items: VAS health score (0.83, 0.73-0.95), selfcare (2.22, 1.09-4.54) and anxiety/depression (2.45, 1.33-4.52). CONCLUSION Three recovery patterns after TKA were distinguished; 'high risers', 'gradual progressors' and 'non responders'. Worse score on EQ-5D items VAS health, selfcare, and anxiety/depression were correlated with the least favourable 'non responders' recovery pattern.

BACKGROUND Establishing clear risk factors for complications such as urinary tract infection (UTI) after arthroplasty procedures helps guide clinical practice and provides more information to both surgeons and patients. This study aims to assess selected preoperative patient characteristics as risk factors for postoperative UTI after primary total hip and knee arthroplasties (THA and TKA). METHODS This was a retrospective analysis using current procedural terminology codes to investigate the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database for patients who underwent THA or TKA from 2010 to 2017. Patients were classified for UTI by NSQIP guidelines. Patient samples with all possible covariates were included for multivariate logistic regression analysis and assessed for independent associations. RESULTS In a cohort of 983 identified patients (983 of 119,096; 0.83%): ages 57+ years, preoperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion, perioperative RBC transfusion, bleeding disorders, operative time 110+ minutes, preoperative steroid use, diabetes, pulmonary comorbidities, body mass index 30+ kg/m2 were independent risk factors for postoperative UTI after THA. In a cohort of 1503 identified patients (1503 of 189,327; 0.8%): ages 60+ years, preoperative RBC transfusion, perioperative RBC transfusion, anemia, platelets less than 150k, preoperative steroid use, diabetes, and body mass index 30+ kg/m2 were independent risk factors for postoperative UTI after TKA. Male sex was associated with a decreased risk of UTI in both THA and TKA. CONCLUSION This study provides novel evidence on risk factors associated with the development of UTI after THA or TKA. Clinicians should be aware of risk factors in the manifestation of postoperative UTI after primary THA or TKA procedures.

Association between Postoperative Opioid Requirements and the Duration of Smoking Cessation in Male Smokers after Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy with Gastroduodenostomy. Pain Res Manag 2021; 2021:1541748. [PMID: 33574973 PMCID: PMC7861925 DOI: 10.1155/2021/1541748] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2020] [Revised: 12/23/2020] [Accepted: 01/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Smoking is clinically associated with high postoperative pain scores and increased perioperative analgesic requirements. However, the association between the duration of smoking cessation and postoperative opioid requirements remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association between the duration of smoking cessation and postoperative opioid requirements. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 144 male patients who received intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA) after laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with gastroduodenostomy. All patients were divided into three groups: G0, nonsmoker; G1, smoker who quit smoking within 1 month preoperatively; G2, smoker who quit smoking over 1 month preoperatively. Analgesic use, pain intensity, and IV PCA side effects were assessed up to postoperative day 2. As the duration of smoking cessation increased, the amount of postoperative opioid consumption decreased (β = -0.08; 95% confidence interval (CI), -0.11 to -0.04; P < 0.001). The total postoperative opioid requirements in G1 were significantly higher than those in G0 and G2 (G0, 75.5 ± 15.9 mg; G1, 94.6 ± 20.5 mg; and G2, 79.9 ± 19.4 mg (P < 0.001)). A multivariate regression analysis revealed that G1 was independently associated with increased postoperative opioid requirements (β = 12.80; 95% CI, 5.81-19.80; P < 0.001). Consequently, male patients who had ceased smoking within 1 month of undergoing a laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with gastroduodenostomy had higher postoperative opioid use than patients who had ceased smoking for more than 1 month and nonsmokers.

Abstract
Background Smoking cessation is a highly important preparation before thoracic surgery. We examined the effects of short-term smoking cessation intervention before pulmonary resection on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). Methods A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was performed for 753 patients who underwent curative surgical resection for thoracic malignancy at 3 institutions. Patients with a smoking history were instructed to quit smoking. After confirming smoking cessation by at least four weeks before surgery, surgical resection was performed. Subjects were classified into three groups based on their smoking status: abstainers (anyone who had stopped smoking for at least 4 weeks but less than 2 months), former smokers (anyone who had abstained from smoking for more than two months prior to surgery), and never smokers (those who had never smoked). We examined the relationship between the preoperative smoking status and PPCs. Results Surgery was performed for 660 primary lung cancers and 93 metastatic lung tumors. The smoking statuses were classified as follows: abstainers (n=105, 14%), former smokers (n=361; 48%) and never smokers (n=287, 38%). The incidence of PPCs among abstainers, former smokers and never smokers was 15%, 8% and 6%, respectively (P=0.01). The mean duration of post-operative chest tube drainage among abstainers, former smokers and never smokers was 3.2, 2.2 and 2.2 days, respectively (P=0.04). The mean post-operative hospital stay among abstainers, former smokers and never smokers was 12.1, 10.6 and 10.2 days, respectively (P=0.07). There was no 30-day mortality in the cohort. Conclusions Short-term smoking cessation intervention did not enough reduce the PPCs as much as in former or never smokers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inpatient pain management order sets are an important and necessary tool for standardizing and enhancing pain management for patients with traumatic injury. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of revised inpatient pain management electronic order sets on opioid usage for patients with significant chest wall trauma. METHODS A retrospective pre-post study was conducted for adult patients with 3 or more rib fractures admitted to the hospital at a Level 1 trauma center. Two periods were compared: 1 year prior to the order set changes and the period immediately after the revisions were implemented. Differences between medians were assessed using Kruskal-Wallis test by ranks, and differences between nominal variables were assessed with χ test. RESULTS Twenty-five patients were analyzed for each period. There was no significant change between periods in the total amount of opioid received per day. There was a significant reduction in intravenous (IV) opioid use on the general inpatient floor (61% vs. 24%, p = .01), as well as in the percentage of patients who received IV opioid within 24 hr of discharge (40% vs. 4%, p = .002). CONCLUSION Revised inpatient pain management order sets did not reduce overall opioid usage in a population of patients with 3 or more rib fractures. However, significant improvements were noted in decreased IV opioid usage on the general inpatient floors and within 24 hr of patient discharge from the hospital.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of developing and implementing a brief nurse-delivered tobacco intervention in an outpatient surgical practice. DESIGN AND METHODS Initial formative work used a survey and focus groups to determine knowledge, attitudes, and practices of perioperative nurses working in three outpatient surgical practices regarding smoking use and cessation. Based on this work, a brief intervention was designed and implemented in one of the three practices. The documentation of tobacco use and intervention elements was assessed both immediately and approximately 9 months after implementation. FINDINGS Formative work identified not only several barriers to implementation and little current activity but also favorable attitudes toward interventions. Implementation improved self-efficacy for intervention delivery and compliance with documentation of intervention elements that was sustained for at least 9 months. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that it is feasible for perioperative nurses to play an important role in the delivery of perioperative tobacco interventions.

Influence of reduction quality on functional outcome and quality of life in treatment of tibial plafond fractures: a retrospective cohort study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2019; 20:534. [PMID: 31722696 PMCID: PMC6854804 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-019-2932-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2019] [Accepted: 11/01/2019] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of reduction quality, using intraoperative 3D imaging, on quality of life and functional outcome in the operative treatment of tibial plafond fractures. Methods A group of patients with tibial plafond fractures was re-examined. The operative treatment was performed between September 2001 and October 2011. The follow-up examination was at least 2 years after the final surgical procedure. Final reduction result was assessed intraoperatively using a mobile 3D C-arm. A categorization with regard to descriptive parameters as well as type and size of joint surface irregularities was performed. Follow-up results were evaluated using: Olerud and Molander (O & M) score, Short-Form-36 (SF-36) score, movement deficit, Kellgren and Lawrence grade of osteoarthritis, and pain intensity. Results 34 patients with operatively treated tibial plafond fracture could be re-examined. Reduction quality had the greatest influence on functional result measured by the O & M score (p = 0.001) and the PCS domain of the SF-36 score (p = 0.018). Significant differences with regard to O & M score (p = 0.000), SF-36 score (p = 0.001 to p = 0.02; without MCS domain), movement deficit (p = 0.001), grade of osteoarthritis (p = 0.005) and pain (p = 0.001) could be verified under consideration of the reduction quality. The group with the anatomically more accurate reduction also showed a better result for clinical follow-up and quality of life. Furthermore, it is not the type of joint surface irregularity that is always decisive, but rather the size. Conclusions Despite other relevant factors, it appears that reduction quality –which can be analyzed with intraoperative 3D imaging– plays the most important role in postoperative quality of life and functional outcome. Corrections should therefore be performed on joint surface irregularities with a size above 2 mm.
