Perioperative intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine for alleviating postpartum depression after cesarean section: A meta-analysis and systematic review. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2024; 296:333-341. [PMID: 38531179 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.03.024] [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: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
The efficacy of perioperative dexmedetomidine (DEX) infusion as a precaution against postpartum depression (PPD) in women undergoing cesarean section has not been substantiated systematically. A literature search for RCTs on DEX against PPD was retrieved in the following databases from inception to January 3, 2024: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, CBM, VIP, etc. A total of 13 RCTs with 1711 participants were included. Meta-analysis was performed by RevMan5.3 and Stata16 using a random-effects model. EPDS scores were significantly decreased in the DEX group within one week or over one week postpartum compared to the control group (SMD = -1.25, 95 %CI: -1.73 to -0.77; SMD = -1.08, 95 %CI: -1.43 to -0.73). The prevalence of PPD was significantly inferior to the control at both time points (RR = 0.36, 95 %CI: 0.24 to 0.54; RR = 0.39, 95 %CI: 0.26 to 0.57). Univariate meta-regression suggested that age influenced the heterogeneity of the EPDS scores (P = 0.039), and DEX infusion dose was a potential moderator (P = 0.074). The subgroup analysis results of PPD scores at both time points were consistent, showing that: ① Mothers younger than 30 years old had better sensitivity to DEX for treating PPD. ② The anti-PPD efficacy of continuous infusion of DEX by PCIA was superior to both single infusion and combined infusion. ③ DEX showed a better anti-PPD effect when the total infusion dose was ≤ 2 μg/kg. Moreover, DEX improved analgesia and sleep quality, provided appropriate sedation, and reduced the incidence of nausea, vomiting, and chills. The current evidence confirmed the prophylaxis and superiority of DEX for PPD. More high-quality, large-scale RCTs are required for verifying the reliability and formulating administration methods.

Abstract
Importance Postpartum depression (PPD) is emerging as a major public health problem worldwide. Although the particular period and context in which PPD occurs provides an opportunity for preventive interventions, there is still a lack of pharmacologic prevention strategies for PPD. Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine for prevention of PPD among women with prenatal depression undergoing cesarean delivery. Design, Setting, and Participants This randomized clinical trial enrolled 338 women who screened positive for prenatal depression at 2 hospitals in Hunan, China from March 28, 2022, to April 16, 2023. Women with an Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale score of more than 9 who were 18 years of age or older and were scheduled for elective cesarean delivery were eligible. Interventions Eligible participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the dexmedetomidine group or the control group via centrally computer-generated group randomization. Dexmedetomidine, 0.5 μg/kg and 0.9% saline were intravenously infused for 10 minutes after delivery in the dexmedetomidine and control groups, respectively. After infusion, sufentanil or dexmedetomidine plus sufentanil was administered via patient-controlled intravenous analgesia for 48 hours in the control group and dexmedetomidine group, respectively. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was positive PPD screening results at 7 and 42 days post partum, defined as a postpartum Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale score of more than 9. Analysis was on an intention-to-treat basis. Results All 338 participants were female, with a mean (SD) age of 31.5 (4.1) years. Positive PPD screening incidence at 7 and 42 days post partum in the dexmedetomidine group vs the control group was significantly decreased (day 7, 21 of 167 [12.6%] vs 53 of 165 [32.1%]; risk ratio, 0.39 [95% CI, 0.25-0.62]; P < .001; day 42, 19 of 167 [11.4%] vs 50 of 165 [30.3%]; risk ratio, 0.38 [95% CI, 0.23-0.61]; P < .001). The dexmedetomidine group showed no significant difference in adverse events vs the control group (46 of 169 [27.2%] vs 33 of 169 [19.5%]; P = .10), but the incidence of hypotension increased (31 of 169 [18.3%] vs 16 of 169 [9.5%]; risk ratio, 2.15 [95% CI, 1.13-4.10]; P = .02). Conclusions and Relevance Dexmedetomidine administration in the early postpartum period significantly reduced the incidence of a positive PPD screening and maintained a favorable safety profile.

Comparison of the effect of dexmedetomidine and midazolam under spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery: a randomized controlled trial, single center study in South Korea. Anesth Pain Med (Seoul) 2023; 18:159-168. [PMID: 37183284 PMCID: PMC10183612 DOI: 10.17085/apm.22257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cesarean section under spinal anesthesia may cause anxiety and hypotension. Administration of sedative drugs after delivery can diminish these side-effects, but may increase hemodynamic instability. We evaluated the effect of the administration of 0.7 μg/kg dexmedetomidine and compared it with that of 0.03 mg/kg midazolam for usefulness of sedation of the parturient after delivery during cesarean section. METHODS After obtaining written consent and the ethics board approval, 60 parturients aged 20-43 years who underwent elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia were recruited. A total of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (8-10 mg) and intrathecal fentanyl (10 μg) was given to induce anesthesia. Parturients were then randomly allocated to receive either midazolam (0.03 mg/kg; group M) or dexmedetomidine 0.7 (μg/kg; group D) after delivery. The primary outcome measure was patient satisfaction score. Secondary outcomes included vital signs; vasopressor dosage; incidence of shivering, nausea, and vomiting; incidence of bradycardia; time to sensory and motor recovery; postoperative nausea and vomiting score; and postoperative pain visual analog scale at 6, 24, and 48 h. RESULTS Satisfaction scores for sedation were similar between the two groups. The systolic blood pressure, heart rate, oximetry saturation, and tympanic temperature were comparable between the two groups. The predicted mean systolic blood pressure of group D was 106.3 mmHg and that of group M was 107.5 mmHg. Both groups showed comparable adverse intraoperative and postoperative outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Dexmedetomidine and midazolam showed similar hemodynamic effects and patient satisfaction in parturients under spinal anesthesia.

Abstract
Perioperative shivering is a well-known complication reported in 29 to 54% of patients undergoing a caesarean section under regional anaesthesia. It interferes with pulse oximetry, blood pressure (BP), and electrocardiographic monitoring (ECG). Moreover, it gives the patient a distressing and unpleasant experience. This review aims to examine the mechanism of shivering during the caesarean section under neuraxial anaesthesia and to explore available information for preventing and managing this clinically significant complication. A literature search of PubMed, MedLine, Science Direct, and Google Scholar was done. The search results were limited to randomised controlled trials (RCT) and systematic reviews. This review studied the efficacy of various nonpharmacological and pharmacological methods to manage perioperative shivering. We found that pre-warming and intraoperative warming are simple and effective interventions, although the effect seems to depend on the duration of treatment. Multiple pharmacological interventions, including opioids, NMDA receptor antagonists, and alpha-2 adrenergic agonists, have been studied and found to reduce the incidence and severity of perioperative shivering during caesarean section under neuraxial anaesthesia.

Abstract
Objective The aim of the study is to explore the clinical effect of dexmedetomidine combined with low-dose norepinephrine (NE) continuous pumping in preventing supine hypotension. Methods A total of 160 puerperaes who underwent elective cesarean section were selected. The puerperaes were equally divided into S group (saline), D group (dexmedetomidine), N group (norepinephrine), and DN group (dexmedetomidine combined with norepinephrine) by a random number table method. Apgar scores and umbilical cord venous blood gas values were recorded at 1 and 5 minutes. Results There were no statistically significant differences in the age, gestational age, body mass index, bleeding volume, fluid supplement volume, Apgar scores of new borns at the 1st and 5th minute, the blood gas values of umbilical cord arterial and venous in the four groups (P > 0.05). Compared with the S group, the incidence of supine hypotension, the number of NE supplements, the supplementary doses of NE, and the incidence of adverse reactions were significantly reduced in the D, N, and DN groups after spinal anesthesia (P < 0.05). Compared with group D, the incidence of supine hypotension, the number of additional NE, additional dose of NE, and the incidence of adverse reactions in the DN group after spinal anesthesia were significantly reduced (P < 0.05). Compared with the N group, the incidence of supine hypotension, the number of additional NE, the additional dose of NE, and the incidence of adverse reactions in the DN group after spinal anesthesia were significantly reduced (P < 0.05). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine combined with continuous pumping of low-dose norepinephrine can effectively prevent the occurrence of supine hypotension, reduce the occurrence of other adverse reactions, and have no obvious adverse effects on neonates.

Application of Different Doses of Dexmedetomidine Combined with General Anesthesia in Anesthesia of Patients with Traumatic Tibiofibular Fractures and Its Effect on the Incidence of Adverse Reactions. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2021; 2021:3080098. [PMID: 34950440 PMCID: PMC8692005 DOI: 10.1155/2021/3080098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2021] [Revised: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 11/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Objective To explore the application of different doses of dexmedetomidine combined with general anesthesia in patients with traumatic tibiofibular fractures. Methods A total of 120 patients with traumatic tibiofibular fractures treated in our hospital (January 2018–January 2021) were selected as the research subjects and equally grouped into group A, group B, group C, and group D according to the dosage of dexmedetomidine. Group B, group C, and group D were pumped with 0.3 μg/kg, 0.5 μg/kg, and 0.8 μg/kg load doses of dexmedetomidine before anesthesia induction, with the same doses for maintenance during surgery. Group A was intravenously pumped with the same amount of normal saline and received tracheal intubation after anesthesia induction, with propofol and remifentanil to maintain general anesthesia during surgery. Results No notable differences in general data were observed among the groups (P > 0.05). Ramsay sedation scores of all groups showed a downward trend after drug withdrawal. At 10 min, 30 min, and 60 min, the scores of groups C and D were markedly higher than those of groups A and B (P < 0.05), and the scores were higher in group D than those in group C (P < 0.05). The HR changes at each period were close between groups A and B (P > 0.05). The HRs at T1 and T2 in group C were slightly lower than those in group D (P > 0.05), and the HRs at T1 in groups A and B were remarkably higher than those in groups C and D, and were higher than those at T0 and T2 (P < 0.05). The SBP levels of all groups began to rise at T0, peaked at T1, and decreased to a lower level at T2 than that at T0. Moreover, the SBP levels of groups C and D at T1 and T2 were notably lower compared with groups A and B (P < 0.05). With a lower DBP level in group C than the other three groups at T1, the DBP levels were notably lower in groups C and D than those in groups A and B at T2 (P < 0.05). With no statistical difference in the MAP levels at T0 among the four groups (P > 0.05), the MAP levels in group A at T1 and T2 were obviously higher compared with groups C and D (P < 0.05). The extubation time in group A was notably longer than that that in groups B, C, and D (P < 0.05), with longer extubation time in group B than that in groups C and D (P < 0.05). The orientation recovery time in group D was markedly shorter than that in groups A, B, and C (P < 0.05). The incidence of cognitive dysfunction, chills, and restlessness in groups C and D was notably lower compared with groups A and B (P < 0.05), with a higher incidence of chills, intraoperative hypotension, and delayed awakening in group D than in group C (P < 0.05). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine at doses of 0.5 μg/kg and 0.8 μg/kg has a better effect in the maintenance of general anesthesia for patients with traumatic tibiofibular fractures, with faster orientation recovery, better recovery of postoperative cognitive function, and a lower incidence of adverse reactions. Dexmedetomidine at 0.5 μg/kg is recommended in view of the increased risk of excessive sedation, chills, restlessness, and intraoperative hypotension in patients at 0.8 μg/kg.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spinal anesthesia is commonly employed during inguinal hernial surgeries. Its short duration may, however, be considered a limitation, especially for bilateral hernial repair. The aim of this research is to investigate the analgesic and hemodynamic effects of intravenous infusion of both MgSO4 and dexmedetomidine on patients undergoing bilateral inguinal hernia surgeries under spinal anesthesia. METHODS This study was a prospective, randomized, double-blinded controlled trail. It included 60 male patients who had been scheduled for bilateral elective inguinal hernia surgery under spinal anesthesia at Kasr Al-Aini hospital. Patients were randomly allocated to one of three groups (n = 20 each) to receive 50 mL of 0.9% saline intravenous infusion of either dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg.kg-1. h-1 (Group D) or magnesium sulphate 15 mg.kg-1. h-1 (Group M) or normal saline (Group S). The primary outcome of this study was set as the total duration of analgesia. Secondary outcomes were set as the onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade, perioperative hemodynamics, and the total 24-hour postoperative morphine consumption. RESULTS Durations of sensory and motor blockades as well as durations of analgesia were all significantly longer among patients in Group D (mean 2.2, 3.5, 5.8 hours respectively) and Group M (mean 2.2, 3.3, 5.2 hours respectively), in comparison to Group S (mean 1.5, 2.7, 3.9 hours respectively). No significant differences were found in systolic or diastolic arterial blood pressure, heart rate oxygen saturation, cardiac output, or stroke volume among the study groups. Seven patients in Group D and four patients in Groups M and S developed hypotension. CONCLUSION Intravenous infusion of either dexmedetomidine or MgSO4 with spinal anesthesia effectively improves the quality of spinal anesthesia and prolongs the duration of postoperative analgesia and decreases the 24-hour postoperative morphine consumption. Results also demonstrated that the use of dexmedetomidine resulted in a slightly longer duration of analgesia, whilst the use of MgSO4 resulted in slightly better hemodynamic stability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to test whether the implementation of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol for patients undergoing elective cesarean delivery has a positive impact on the postoperative status of the patients in terms of pain management, hospital stay, hospitalization costs, and adverse reactions. METHODS Patients who underwent elective cesarean delivery were randomized into two groups - ERAS group and control group - and the groups were managed with the ERAS protocol and traditional protocol, respectively. RESULTS Compared to the control group, the ERAS group had significantly fewer patients with intraoperative nausea, pain of visual analog scale (VAS) scores, and VAS grade >3 during rest in the first 24 h and during motion in the first 24 and 48 h after surgery. There were no intergroup differences in the requirement of extra analgesics, the incidence of vomiting, shivering, hypotension, postoperative nausea, and pruritus. None of the patients in either group had postoperative vomiting. Patient satisfaction rated as per the VAS was significantly higher in the ERAS group than in the control group. The total length of stay, postoperative length of stay, and the cost of anesthesia in both groups were comparable. Further, the average daily hospitalization cost was significantly lower in the ERAS group than in the control group. CONCLUSION The ERAS protocol shows promise and appears to be worthwhile for widespread implementation among patients undergoing elective cesarean delivery; it was found to be beneficial in reducing the postoperative pain, incidence of intraoperative nausea, and average cost of hospitalization and also improved patient satisfaction.

Abstract
Background Intrathecal dexmedetomidine (DEX) can improve the blockade of spinal anesthesia, but there is no clear conclusion on whether it has an effect on the fetus during cesarean section. Our meta-analysis evaluated the safety and efficacy of intrathecal DEX in cesarean delivery. Material/Methods We searched Cochrane, Embase, PubMed, and CBM for eligible studies, and used the Revised Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool (RoB 2.0) to assess the risk of bias of each study. RevMan was used for statistical analyses. We have registered this meta-analysis on PROSPERO (CRD42019120995). Results The meta-analysis included 10 RCTs, but only 5 were prospectively registered. The results of preregistration studies, including the 1- or 5-min Apgar score (mean difference [MD], −0.03; 95% confidence intervals [CI], −0.16 to 0.10; P=0.64 or MD, 0.00; 95% CI, −0.09 to 0.09; P=1), the umbilical arterial oxygen or carbon dioxide partial pressure (MD, 0.90; 95% CI, −4.92 to 6.72; P=0.76 or MD, 1.20; 95% CI, −2.06 to 4.46; P=0.47), and the cord blood pH (MD, −0.01; 95% CI, −0.05 to 0.03; P=0.72), showed that intrathecal DEX had no significant difference in neonatal outcomes compared with placebo. In maternal outcomes, intrathecal DEX significantly prolonged postoperative pain-free period and reduced the incidence of postoperative shivering, which did not increase spinal anesthesia-associated adverse effects. Conclusions Intrathecal DEX is safe for the fetus during cesarean section and can improve the blockade effects of spinal anesthesia on puerperae.

Abstract
Objective Intrathecal dexmedetomidine has been used in spinal anesthesia during cesarean sections. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate the effect of intrathecal dexmedetomidine on the adverse reactions of spinal anesthesia during cesarean section. Methods We searched for relevant studies using PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane library. After screening studies and extracting data, we performed a meta-analysis on the effect of intrathecal dexmedetomidine during cesarean section. Results A total of 278 patients from 4 studies were included in this meta-analysis. The incidence of shivering in the dexmedetomidine groups was significantly lower than that in the placebo groups during cesarean section (RR=0.40, 95% CI [0.25, 0.65], P=0.0002). Intrathecal dexmedetomidine had no effect on nausea and vomiting (RR=1.08, 95% CI [0.68, 1.71], P=0.74), bradycardia (RR=1.33, 95% CI [0.31, 5.76], P=0.70), and hypotension during cesarean section (RR=0.78, 95% CI [0.59, 1.03], P=0.08). Conclusion Intrathecal dexmedetomidine can effectively reduce the occurrence of shivering during cesarean section, but it does not affect the occurrence of nausea and vomiting, bradycardia or hypotension.

Abstract
Objective The meta-analysis was conducted to assess the effectiveness and safety of intravenous administration of dexmedetomidine for cesarean section under general anesthesia, as well as neonatal outcomes. Materials and methods We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure database for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the application of intravenous dexmedetomidine under general anesthesia for cesarean section. RevMan 5.3 was used to conduct the meta-analysis of the outcomes of interest. Results Eight RCTs involved 376 participants were included in this study. The meta-analysis showed that the mean blood pressure at the time of intubation (weighted mean difference [WMD]: -15.67, 95% CI: -21.21, -10.13, P<0.00001), skin incision (WMD: -12.83, 95% CI -20.53, -5.14, P=0.001), and delivery (WMD: -11.65, 95% CI -17.18, -6.13, P<0.0001) in dexmedetomidine group were significantly lower than that in the control group. The heart rate (HR) at the time of intubation (WMD: -31.41, 95% CI -35.01, -27.81, P<0.00001), skin incision (WMD: -22.32, 95% CI -34.55, -10.10, P=0.0003), and delivery (WMD: -19.07, 95% CI -22.09, -16.04, P<0.00001) were also lower than that in control group. For neonatal parameters, no differences existed in umbilical blood gases at delivery, and Apgar scores at 1 minute (WMD: -0.12, 95% CI -0.37, 0.12, P=0.33) and 5 minutes (WMD: -0.17, 95% CI -0.13, 0.46, P=0.27) among two groups. Conclusion Intravenous administration of dexmedetomidine could efficiently attenuate the maternal cardiovascular response during cesarean section, without affecting Apgar score of the neonate.

Abstract
Objective Intrathecal dexmedetomidine (DEX) has been used to prevent shivering in patients undergoing cesarean section. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate whether intrathecal DEX could prevent shivering in cesarean section after spinal anesthesia. Methods We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing intrathecal DEX in cesarean section after spinal anesthesia with placebo and reporting on shivering, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), hypotension, and bradycardia. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was also carried out for RCTs comparing DEX with placebo. This meta-analysis has been registered on PROSPERO, and the registration number is CRD42017071640. Results Six randomized clinical trials comparing 360 patients were included in this study. Compared with placebo, intrathecal DEX significantly reduced the incidence of shivering (risk ratio [RR]=0.40; 95% CI [0.26, 0.62]; P<0.0001). No significant difference was found in the incidence of PONV (RR=1.34; 95% CI [0.82, 2.18]; P=0.24), hypotension (RR=1.09; 95% CI [0.84, 1.42]; P=0.50), or bradycardia (RR=1.55; 95% CI [0.54, 4.42]; P=0.42). However, no firm conclusions can be made based on the results of all outcomes according to the TSA. Conclusion This meta-analysis found that intrathecal DEX could prevent shivering in cesarean section after spinal anesthesia and did not induce PONV, hypotension, or bradycardia. However, firm conclusions cannot be made until more studies are conducted.
