The safety and efficacy of esketamine in comparison to dexmedetomidine during drug-induced sleep endoscopy in children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome: A randomized, controlled and prospective clinical trial. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:1036509. [PMID: 36532775 PMCID: PMC9751969 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.1036509] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2022] [Accepted: 11/18/2022] [Indexed: 10/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Purpose: Data and high-quality studies of anesthetic methods for children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) who undergo drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) are limited. Research on pediatric DISE using esketamine has never been reported before. To test the safety and efficacy of esketamine during DISE in children with OSAHS, we compare esketamine (Group K) with dexmedetomidine (Group D) in this study. Methods: 100 children with ASA Ⅰ∼Ⅱ grade, prepared for an elective adenotonsillectomy under general anesthesia, were enrolled in this study and randomized into two groups. Midazolam 0.1 mg/kg was administered intravenously for both groups. In Group D a 1 μg/kg bolus of dexmedetomidine was given over 10 min followed by the infusion rate 1 μg/kg/hr to the end of DISE. Group K received a 1.0 mg/kg IV bolus of esketamine over 10 s followed by the infusion rate 1 mg/kg/hr to the end of DISE. Results: Group K had a higher percentage of success than Group D (p = 0.008). The onset time of Group K was shorter than that of Group D (p = 0.000). The University of Michigan Sedation Scale (UMSS) score of Group K was higher than that of Group D (p = 0.005). The risk of adverse effects (AEs) was lower in Group K (p = 0.000). In Group D, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and heart rate (HR) all decreased, while in Group K, SBP, DBP, and HR hardly changed. Conclusion: Esketamine in comparison to dexmedetomidine provides more effective and safer depth of anesthesia for OSAHS pediatric DISE by ensuring short onset time, deep sedation, and few AEs. Clinical Trial Registration: ClincalTrials.gov, identifier NCT04877639.

Effect of acupuncture on postoperative ileus after laparoscopic elective colorectal surgery: A prospective, randomised, controlled trial. EClinicalMedicine 2022; 49:101472. [PMID: 35747183 PMCID: PMC9156985 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2022.101472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Revised: 04/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative ileus after colorectal surgery is a frequent problem that significantly delays recovery, increases perioperative costs, and negatively impacts on daily life, physical and psychosocial functioning, and wellbeing. We investigated the effect of acupuncture at different single acupoint combined with standard care on postoperative ileus. METHODS In this single-centre, three-arm, prospective, randomised trial, we enrolled patients with primary colorectal cancer undergoing elective colorectal resection at Cancer Hospital Chinese Academy of Medical Science in Beijing, China. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive either electroacupuncture (EA) at ST36 or ST25 combined with standard care (two EA groups) once daily from post-operative days 1-4, or standard care alone (standard care group). The co-primary outcomes were time to first flatus and time to defecation assessed in the intention-to-treat population. This study is registered with Chictr.org.cn, ChiCTR1900027466. FINDING Between Nov 15, 2019, and Sep 30, 2020, 129 patients were assessed for eligibility, 105 patients (35 patients per group) were enrolled and included in the intention-to-treat analysis. After receiving EA at ST36, the time to first flatus and defecation were shorter (between-group difference -10.98 [97.5% CI -21.41 to -0.56], p = 0·02 for flatus; -25.41 [-47.89 to -2.93], p = 0·02 for defecation). However, we did not observe a significant difference in time to first flatus and defecation between the EA at ST25 group and standard care group (between-group difference -5.54 [97.5% CI -15.78 to 4.70], p = 0·26 for flatus; -17.69 [-40.33 to 4.95], p = 0·08 for defecation). There were no serious adverse events. INTERPRETATION Compared with standard care alone, standard care combined with EA at ST36, but not ST25, significantly enhances bowel function recovery in a postoperative setting to patients with colorectal cancer with laparoscopic elective colorectal resection.

Study protocol for a randomised, patient- and observer-blinded evaluation of P6 acustimulation for the prevention of nausea and vomiting in the postoperative period in patients receiving routine pharmacological prophylaxis (P6NV-Trial). Trials 2022; 23:497. [PMID: 35710447 PMCID: PMC9205120 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-022-06369-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of pericardium 6 (P6) acupoint stimulation to reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) has been proven in several randomised controlled clinical trials. However, little is known about the effectiveness in daily practice and its use in combination with traditional pharmacologic approaches. METHODS The primary objective of the P6NV study is to determine whether intraoperative acustimulation (acupuncture or acupressure) at the point P6 provides additional benefit when applied along with customary prophylactic intravenous antiemetics administered according to the local standard operating procedures (SOP). The primary endpoint is the incidence and severity of PONV within the first 24 h postoperatively reported with a validated postoperative nausea and vomiting intensity scale. The patient-reported outcome of perioperative quality of life (using the PPP33-questionnaire) and the detection of antiemetic-related side effects as well as the severity of PONV (via a standardised questionnaire) are secondary study objectives. P6NV is a national, multicentre, randomised, prospective, patient- and examiner-blinded interventional study and will be performed on 3500 adult patients with ASA classification I-III undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia and hospitalised for at least 24 h. Participating anaesthesiologists commit themselves to administer customised conventional antiemetic prophylaxis according to the local SOP by signing a statement before randomisation. The intervention group receives bilateral acupuncture or acupressure at P6. The control group receives no intervention. Before extubation, acustimulation is removed. DISCUSSION Since P6 acustimulation is performed by a wide range of anaesthesiologists receiving written and verbal information on acustimulation beforehand, this trial will provide information on the effectiveness of an ad hoc implementation of P6 stimulation techniques in anaesthesia departments using traditional pharmacologic PONV prophylaxis.

Abstract
Stroke is assumed as one of the common cerebrovascular diseases that endangers human health and life. Its incidence and mortality rates are high, while survivors (50% to 70%) suffer from different degrees of disability. Hemiplegia is a common disability after stroke, mainly manifested as muscle weakness of the affected side, limb spasm, and limited activity, which severely impacts a patient's daily life. There are various rehabilitation methods for stroke hemiplegia, including modern rehabilitation medicine, motor therapy, acupuncture, and rehabilitation robot. The cost and effect of different rehabilitation methods are not the same. It is the focus to find an economical and effective rehabilitation method. In this paper, 128 stroke patients aged 41 to 73 hospitalized between January 2019 and January 2021 were analyzed. The intervention group used standard physical therapy and traditional acupuncture therapy, and the control group only used standard physical therapy. We used RStudio 1.1.419 (RStudio Corporation) for analysis. Experimental results show that the short-term efficacy of the intervention group is better than that of the control group. The intervention group was better than the control group in recovery from injury during rehabilitation, degree of muscle spasm, self-care ability in daily life, and overall degree of damage. In the long-term efficacy analysis, we can see that with the increase in the number of acupuncture, the efficacy of the intervention group is still better than that of the control group. Compared with physical rehabilitation alone, acupuncture has better short-term, and long-term clinical effects for stroke patients improves motor dysfunction and improves the quality of life and independence of stroke patients. With the increase in the number of acupuncture treatments, the patient's rehabilitation effect will be better.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture therapy (AT) on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after gynecologic surgery (GS). DESIGN A meta-analysis using a systematic search strategy was performed. METHODS A comprehensive literature search of all published randomized controlled trials or prospective cohort studies assessing the effectiveness of AT on PONV in patients undergoing GS was conducted in three databases: PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library. The incidence of PONV, the use of rescue antiemetics, and side effects of AT were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 software. FINDINGS Nine randomized controlled trials and one prospective cohort study identified in the literature search from database inception (1966) to December 31, 2019, including 1,075 participants were included in the present study. AT significantly reduced the risk of developing postoperative nausea and postoperative vomiting by 48% (relative risk = 0.52; 95% confidence interval, 0.44 to 0.61; P < .00001) and 42% (relative risk = 0.58; 95% confidence interval, 0.49 to 0.68; P < .00001), respectively. No significant differences in the incidence of side effects such as bleeding and needle pain were observed between groups (P = .54). AT was also associated with a lower rate of rescue antiemetic usage (P < .00001) and a higher degree of satisfaction with postoperative recovery (P < .0001). Moreover, the optimal therapeutic effect of AT on preventing PONV was achieved when the treatment time was controlled within 30 minutes and transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation was applied. CONCLUSION AT is an effective and safe physical therapy for the prophylaxis of PONV in patients undergoing GS.

Abstract
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), postoperative vomiting (POV), post-discharge nausea and vomiting (PDNV), and opioid-induced nausea and vomiting (OINV) continue to be causes of pediatric morbidity, delay in discharge, and unplanned hospital admission. Research on the pathophysiology, risk assessment, and therapy for PDNV, OINV and pain therapy options in children has received increased attention. Multimodal pain management with the use of perioperative regional and opioid-sparing analgesia has helped decrease nausea and vomiting. Two common emetogenic surgical procedures in children are adenotonsillectomy and strabismus repair. Although PONV risk factors differ between adults and children, the approach to decrease baseline risk is similar. As PONV and POV are frequent in children, antiemetic prophylaxis should be considered for those at risk. A multimodal approach for antiemetic and pain therapy involves preoperative risk evaluation and stratification, antiemetic prophylaxis, and pain management with opioid-sparing medications and regional anesthesia. Useful antiemetics include dexamethasone and serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists such as ondansetron. Multimodal combination prophylactic therapy using two or three antiemetics from different drug classes and propofol total intravenous anesthesia should be considered for children at high PONV risk. "Enhanced recovery after surgery" protocols include a multimodal approach with preoperative preparation, adequate intravenous fluid hydration, opioid-sparing analgesia, and prophylactic antiemetics. PONV guidelines and management algorithms help provide effective postoperative care for pediatric patients.

Abstract
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postdischarge nausea and vomiting (PDNV) remain common and distressing complications following surgery. The routine use of opioid analgesics for perioperative pain management is a major contributing factor to both PONV and PDNV after surgery. PONV and PDNV can delay discharge from the hospital or surgicenter, delay the return to normal activities of daily living after discharge home, and increase medical costs. The high incidence of PONV and PDNV has persisted despite the introduction of many new antiemetic drugs (and more aggressive use of antiemetic prophylaxis) over the last two decades as a result of growth in minimally invasive ambulatory surgery and the increased emphasis on earlier mobilization and discharge after both minor and major surgical procedures (e.g. enhanced recovery protocols). Pharmacologic management of PONV should be tailored to the patient’s risk level using the validated PONV and PDNV risk-scoring systems to encourage cost-effective practices and minimize the potential for adverse side effects due to drug interactions in the perioperative period. A combination of prophylactic antiemetic drugs with different mechanisms of action should be administered to patients with moderate to high risk of developing PONV. In addition to utilizing prophylactic antiemetic drugs, the management of perioperative pain using opioid-sparing multimodal analgesic techniques is critically important for achieving an enhanced recovery after surgery. In conclusion, the utilization of strategies to reduce the baseline risk of PONV (e.g. adequate hydration and the use of nonpharmacologic antiemetic and opioid-sparing analgesic techniques) and implementing multimodal antiemetic and analgesic regimens will reduce the likelihood of patients developing PONV and PDNV after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a condition that commonly following anesthesia and surgery, antiemetics can lead to some side effects in treating PONV. Acupuncture PC6(Neiguan) has been widely used in the prevention and treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting. However, there still exists controversy towards its effectiveness, appropriate, and effective intervention time. We, therefore, design this meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness and confirm the optimal time of acupuncture PC6 point for PONV. METHODS The following electronic databases will be searched from their inception to April 2020, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science, WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, the Chongqing VIP Chinese Science, and Technology Periodical Database. All randomized controlled trials in English or Chinese involving acupuncture PC6 for patients with PONV will be included. Two reviewers will independently responsible for the data extraction, study selection, risk of bias assessment and assessment of study quality. The primary outcome was the number of postoperative nausea, postoperative vomiting and PONV during 0 to 6 hours and after 6 hours of the postoperatively. The secondary outcome is the number of people with side effects and the use of rescue therapy. The meta-analysis will be conducted using RevMan V.5.3.5 statistical software. RESULTS This systematic review will evaluate the efficacy and appropriateness time of acupuncture PC6 in the treatment of PONV. CONCLUSION This study will provide high-quality current evidence of the effectiveness and optimal time of acupuncture PC6 point for the patient with PONV. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval is not required; this review will not involve individuals' information. The results will be published in a peer-reviewed publication or disseminated in relevant conferences. INPLASY REGISTRATION NUMBER DOI 10.37766/inplasy2020.4.0012.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A growing number of studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of acupuncture in preventing and treating postoperative nausea and vomiting. Here, we used meta-analysis to confirm these benefits in children and to determine the optimal time to perform this treatment. METHODS Four databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and Chinese Database of Biology and Medicine) were searched from inception until January 16, 2019. We included randomized controlled trials for evaluating the effectiveness of acupuncture in the prevention and treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting during the early stage (0-4 hours) and within 24 hours postoperatively in pediatrics. Control groups received standardized care control or standardized care combined with sham control. RESULTS Sixteen literatures and 1773 patients undergoing general anesthesia were included in the study. The results indicated that acupuncture was effective in reducing postoperative vomiting, both during the first 4 hours (RR = 0.47, 95% CI 0.26, 0.84; low quality) and within 24 hours postoperatively (RR = 0.74, 95% CI 0.60, 0.91; low quality). Stratifying by the timing of acupuncture, acupuncture was effective in reducing the first 4 hours (RR = 0.34, 95% CI 0.18, 0.64; moderate quality), and 0-24 hours postoperative vomiting (RR = 0.81, 95% CI 0.70, 0.93; moderate quality) when performed before and during anesthesia, respectively. Further, the RR value was more robust when acupuncture was performed before anesthesia. Acupuncture was also effective in treating 0-24 hours postoperative nausea (RR = 0.73, 95% CI 0.60, 0.88; moderate quality) and in reducing the utilization of remedies during the first 4 hours (RR = 0.64, 95% CI 0.45, 0.89; moderate quality). CONCLUSION Acupuncture reduces the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting as well as the utilization of antiemetic remedies, particularly during the first 4 hours following the operation. Acupuncture performed before anesthesia was demonstrated to be the most ideal intervention time for children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that has minimal side effects, is cost-effective, can be easily administered, and may serve as a useful non-pharmaceutical therapy for certain conditions. However, studies and clinical practice guidelines are inconsistent in conclusions and recommendations about acupuncture. This qualitative review addresses the evidence available for acupuncture use in otolaryngology. METHODS A literature review was completed using EMBASE, PubMed, and The Cochrane Collection for conditions within otolaryngology that have used and studied the comparative effects of acupuncture. Thirty studies ultimately fit the inclusion criteria and were used for this qualitative review. RESULTS Studies included in this review contained a variety of conditions within otolaryngology, including allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinitis, tinnitus, sudden sensorineural hearing loss, post-viral olfactory dysfunction, dysphonia, and tonsillectomies. CONCLUSION Given its safety profile, cost, and perceived benefit, recommendations and guidelines supporting acupuncture as an alternative or adjunctive therapy are surfacing for certain conditions such as allergic rhinitis. However, stronger conclusions with specific recommendations are limited by varied methodology between majority of the studies. Additional high-quality randomized control studies with low risk of bias are required to continue to assess the effects of acupuncture in the field of otolaryngology before stronger recommendations can be made on other conditions.

Abstract
Acupuncture studies have demonstrated varying effects on pediatric postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Unanswered questions include whether the type of therapy, number of points used, or timing of treatments vary the effect of acupuncture. We present a case series of intraoperative multipoint acupuncture treatments for high-risk pediatric patients. Fourteen patients were included, and 19 treatments were provided. Twelve patients (85.7%) had previous PONV. Patients who received intraoperative acupunctur e reported no early phase PONV, and 3 patients (15.8%) reported late-phase PONV. One patient required postoperative antiemetics. Intraoperative multipoint acupuncture may be a safe and efficacious adjunct for PONV in high-risk pediatric patients.
