Anesth Pain Med 2022; 12:e122203. [PMID: 35991777 PMCID: PMC9375960 DOI: 10.5812/aapm-122203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2022] [Revised: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Despite all of the benefits provided by laparoscopic cholecystectomy, such as rapid recovery and shorter hospital stay for patients, the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postoperative pain (POP) still remains high. Objectives This study was designed to compare the effects of intraperitoneal (IP) and intravenous (IV) dexamethasone on the reduction of PONV and POP. Methods This prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial was conducted on a study population of 86 adult patients who were scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the American Society of Anesthesiologists class I-II. The patients were randomized into three groups, namely IP dexamethasone (n = 29), IV dexamethasone (n = 29), and control (n = 28) groups. The patients were followed for clinical outcomes, including PONV, POP, and consumption of antiemetics, and their hemodynamic status during the first 24 hours after the surgery. Results In the first 24 hours after the operation, no significant differences were observed in nausea (P = 0.41) and vomiting (P = 0.38) between the IP and IV dexamethasone groups. However, there was a lower severity of nausea in the IP group (P = 0.001). Additionally, the visual analog scale score representing POP was significantly reduced in the IP group (P = 0.02). No significant differences in the hemodynamic status were observed after the operation between all the three groups. Conclusions The administration of 8 mg IP dexamethasone was associated with significantly reduced pain and severity of nausea, but not PONV, after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Modified enhanced recovery after surgery protocol in patients with acute cholecystitis: efficacy, safety and feasibility. Multicenter randomized control study. Updates Surg 2021; 73:1407-1417. [PMID: 33751409 DOI: 10.1007/s13304-021-01031-5] [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: 01/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/13/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a common surgical procedure in acute cholecystitis (AC). Patients often suffer from considerable postoperative pain and indigestion, which prolongs in-hospital stay. The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program has proven its efficacy in elective surgery and could hypothetically improve outcomes of emergency LC. Currently, there is no ERAS program for LC in patients with AC. A modified ERAS (mERAS) protocol was studied in a prospective, randomized non-blinded clinical trial (NCT03754751). The mERAS group consisted of 88 patients the control group of 101 patients. The modified protocol included a patient information brochure; minimizing drain use; local anesthesia; low-pressure pneumoperitoneum; PONV prophylaxis, early mobilization and oral diet. The primary outcome was postoperative length of stay (pLOS). The postoperative length of stay in the mERAS group was shorter (24 (21-45.5) h) than in the control (45 (41-68) h) (p < 0.0001). One re-admission in the mERAS group was reported (p = 0.466). There difference in complications was insignificant (mERAS 6.8% vs 5% p = 0.757). Post-operative pain intensity was significantly lower in the mERAS group immediately after awaking (3.7 ± 1.8 vs 5.4 ± 1.3 p < 0.0001), 2 h (3.3 ± 1.7 vs 4.9 ± 1.6 p = 0.0006), 6 h (2.9 ± 1.5 vs 4.2 ± 1.2 p < 0.0001), 12 h (2.7 ± 0.9 vs 4.1 ± 1.2 p = 0.0001) and 24 h after surgery (2.1 ± 1.2 vs 3 ± 1.2 p < 0.0001). The incidence of shoulder and neck pain was lower in mERAS group (13.6% vs 34.7% p = 0.0009). Peristalsis recovery was similar in both groups. The proposed protocol improved postoperative recovery and reduced hospital stay in patients with AC without increasing the rate of complications or re-admissions.

Effectiveness of Propofol versus Dexamethasone for Prevention of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgery in Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital and Yekatit 12th Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Anesthesiol Res Pract 2020; 2020:4258137. [PMID: 32963522 PMCID: PMC7492878 DOI: 10.1155/2020/4258137] [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: 04/30/2020] [Revised: 08/07/2020] [Accepted: 08/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remain as common and unpleasant and highly distressful experience following ear, nose, and throat surgery. During ENT surgery, the incidence of PONV could be significantly reduced in patients who receive dexamethasone and propofol as prophylaxis. However, the comparative effectiveness of the two drugs has not been assessed. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of propofol and dexamethasone for prevention of PONV in ear, nose, and throat surgery. METHODS This study was conducted in 80 patients, with ASA I and II, aged 18-65 years, and scheduled for ENT surgery between December 20, 2017, and March 20, 2018. Patients were randomly assigned to Group A and Group B. Immediately after the procedure, Group A patients received single dose of intravenous (IV) dexamethasone (10 mg/kg) and Group B patients were given propofol (0.5 mg/kg, IV), and equal follow-up was employed. The incidence of PONV was noted at 6th, 12th, and 24th hour of drug administration. Independent t-test and Mann-Whitney test were used for comparison of symmetric numerical and asymmetric data between groups, respectively. Categorical data were analyzed with the chi-square test, and p value of < 0.05 was considered as level of significance. RESULTS The incidences of PONV throughout the 24-hour postoperative period were 35% in the propofol group and 25% in the dexamethasone group. Statistical significance was found in incidence of PONV (0% versus 22.5%) and use of antiemetic (0% versus 5%) between dexamethasone and propofol groups, respectively, at 12-24 hours. Over 24 hours, 5% in dexamethasone group and 12.5% in propofol group developed moderate PONV, while none of the participants felt severe PONV. CONCLUSIONS Dexamethasone was more effective than propofol to prevent PONV with lower requirements of rescue antiemetics.

Abstract
Background A combination of methylprednisolone sodium succinate and tropisetron hydrochloride is commonly used to treat the nausea and vomiting associated with antineoplastic therapy. The objective of this study was to investigate the stability of tropisetron hydrochloride and methylprednisolone sodium succinate in 0.9% sodium chloride injection for up to 48 hours. Methods Commercial solutions of methylprednisolone sodium succinate and tropisetron hydrochloride were obtained and further diluted with 0.9% sodium chloride injection to final concentrations of either 0.4 or 0.8 mg/mL (methylprednisolone sodium succinate) and 0.05 mg/mL (tropisetron). The admixtures were assessed for periods of up to 48 hours after storage at 4°C with protection from light and at 25°C without protection from light. Physical compatibility was determined visually, and the chemical compatibility was measured with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and by measurement of pH values. Results HPLC analysis demonstrated that methylprednisolone sodium succinate and tropisetron hydrochloride in the various solutions were maintained at 97% of the initial concentrations or higher during the testing period. There were no changes observed by physical precipitation or pH in any of the prepared solutions. Conclusions Tropisetron hydrochloride injection and methylprednisolone sodium succinate injection in 0.9% sodium chloride injection are stable for up to 48 hours at 4°C and 25°C.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Proper management of patients undergoing robotic-assisted urologic and gynecologic surgery must consider a series of peculiarities in the procedures for anesthesiology, critical care medicine, respiratory care, and pain management. Although the indications for robotic-assisted urogynecologic surgeries have increased in recent years, specific guidance documents are still lacking. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A multidisciplinary group including anesthesiologists, gynecologists, urologists, and a clinical epidemiologist systematically reviewed the relevant literature and provided a set of recommendations and unmet needs on peculiar aspects of anesthesia in this field. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Nine core contents were identified, according to their requirements in urogynecologic robotic-assisted surgery: patient position, pneumoperitoneum and ventilation strategies, hemodynamic variations and fluid therapy, neuromuscular block, renal surgery and prevention of acute kidney injury, monitoring the Department of anesthesia, postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction, prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and pain management in endometriosis. CONCLUSIONS This consensus document provides guidance for the management of urologic and gynecologic patients scheduled for robotic-assisted surgery. Moreover, the identified unmet needs highlight the requirement for further prospective randomized studies.

Effects of Gabapentinoids Premedication on Shoulder Pain and Rehabilitation Quality after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Pregabalin versus Gabapentin. Pain Res Manag 2018; 2018:9834059. [PMID: 30123399 PMCID: PMC6079331 DOI: 10.1155/2018/9834059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2018] [Accepted: 06/25/2018] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Introduction Gabapentinoids are increasingly used in preoperative premedication despite controversial results. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of preemptive use of gabapentin or pregabalin on postoperative shoulder pain and rehabilitation quality after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods This is a clinical trial comparing the effects of a preoperative premedication with 600 mg of gabapentin or 150 mg of pregabalin versus placebo on postoperative pain and recovery quality after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Premedication was taken 2 hours before the surgery beginning. Ninety patients were included and randomized into 3 groups (gabapentin, pregabalin, and placebo). The anesthetic protocol was the same for all patients. Primary endpoint was the shoulder pain intensity at the 48th postoperative hour. Secondary endpoints were postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), sleep quality during the first night, and the onset time for the first standing position. Results During the first 48 postoperative hours, the gabapentin and pregabalin groups had significantly lower shoulder pain than the placebo group (p < 0.05). In gabapentinoids groups, the incidence of PONV was lower and the sleep quality during the first postoperative night was better with significant results. Mean Spiegel scores were 22.43 ± 1.45, 22.30 ± 1.44, and 17.17 ± 1.66, respectively, in pregabalin, gabapentin, and placebo groups (p < 0.05). The delay for the first standing position was 14.9 ± 4.9 hours in the pregabalin group, 9.7 ± 3.6 hours in the gabapentin group, and 21.6 ± 2.1 hours in the placebo group. No superiority was found between gabapentin and pregabalin. Conclusion Preemptive premedication with gabapentinoids can enhance postoperative rehabilitation quality after laparoscopic cholecystectomy by reducing postoperative shoulder pain, decreasing PONV incidence, and improving sleep quality during the first postoperative night. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrial.gov (NCT03241875).
