Association between patient activation and delayed discharge in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A prospective cohort analysis. Int J Nurs Stud 2024; 154:104751. [PMID: 38642474 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnurstu.2024.104751] [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: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 02/24/2024] [Accepted: 03/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Improving patient activation may be an effective way to reduce healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes after surgery. OBJECTIVE To determine whether preoperative patient activation is associated with delayed discharge (i.e., length of stay >24 h) after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Postoperative symptoms, unscheduled access to healthcare facilities within seven days of surgery, unplanned hospital readmissions, and postoperative complications were analyzed as secondary outcomes. DESIGN This cohort study was a secondary analysis of the DeDiLaCo study (Delayed Discharge after day-surgery Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy) collecting data of patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy during 2021 in Italy. Data was analyzed from June 2022 to April 2023. SETTING 90 Italian surgical centers participating in the study. PARTICIPANTS 4708 adult patients with an instrumental diagnosis of gallbladder disease and undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patient activation was assessed using the Italian translation of Patient Activation Measure in the preoperative setting. RESULTS Of 4532 cases analyzed the median (IQR) Patient Activation Measure score was 80.3 (71.2-92.3). Participants were on average 55.5 years of age and 58.1 % were female. Two groups based on the activation level were created: 270 (6 %) had low activation, and 4262 had high activation. The low activation level was associated with the likelihood of delayed discharge (odds ratio [OR] 1.47, 95 % CI, 1.11-1.95; P = .008), higher symptom burden (OR 1.99, 95 % CI 1.49-2.66, P < .0001), and unplanned healthcare utilization within seven days after hospital discharge (OR 1.85, 95 % CI, 1.29-2.63; P = .001). There was no difference between the high and low activation groups in the incidence of postoperative complications (OR 1.28, 95 % CI, 0.95-1.73; P = .10) and hospital readmission after discharge (OR 0.95, 95 % CI, 0.30-3.05; P = .93). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that patients with low activation have 1.47 times the risk of delayed discharge compared with patients with higher activation, almost twice the risk of the onset of postoperative symptoms, and 1.85 times the risk of unscheduled use of hospital services. Screening for patient activation in the preoperative setting could not only identify patients not suitable for early discharge, but more importantly, help physicians and nurses develop tailored interventions.

Abstract
Background Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a surgical complication defined as any nausea, and vomiting with in the first 24-48 h after surgery in inpatients. Nausea is the unpleasant desire and urge to vomit, while vomiting is a forcing of gastric contents through the mouth. Nausea and vomiting is the most common complication associated anaesthesia and surgery in the postoperative period. It is considered one of the most common causes of morbidity, and it has significant effects on patient satisfaction. Objective The study aimed to assess the incidence and associated factors of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 February to 30 April 2022. All adult, elective patients who underwent elective surgery under anaesthesia during the study period were included. A total of 677 patients underwent elective surgery at the time of the study, of which 634 patients were included in the study. Data collection method included chart review and patient interview. Result The overall prevalence of postoperative nausea and vomiting among post-surgical patients was 35.4%. Factors that had statistically significant relationship with PONV were history of motion sickness [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 4.04, 95% CI 1.486-10.988], smoking history (AOR 0.37, 95% CI 0.128-1.042) and intraoperative opioid use (AOR 3.59, 95% CI 1.345-9.618). Conclusion The prevalence of this study is higher than studies conducted in the recent years. This result showed that the appropriate practice of PONV prophylactic regimens and anaesthesia management are required to decrease the risk of PONV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The decision about which type of general anesthetic to administer is typically made by the clinical team without patient engagement. This study examined patients' preferences, experiences, attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, and perceived social norms about anesthesia and about engaging in the decision regarding general anesthetic choice with their clinician. METHODS We conducted a survey in the United States, sent to a panel of surgical patients through Qualtrics (Qualtrics, Provo, UT) from March 2022 through May 2022. Questions were developed based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and validated measures were used when available. A patient partner who had experienced both intravenous and inhaled anesthesia contributed to the development and refinement of the questions. RESULTS A total of 806 patients who received general anesthesia for an elective procedure in the last five years completed the survey. 43% of respondents preferred a patient-led decision making role and 28% preferred to share decision making with their clinical team, yet only 7.8% reported being engaged in full shared decision making about the anesthesia they received. Intraoperative awareness, pain, nausea, vomiting and quickly returning to work and usual household activities were important to respondents. Waking up in the middle of surgery was the most commonly reported concern, despite this experience being reported only 8% of the time. Most patients (65%) who searched for information about general anesthesia noted that it took a lot of effort to find the information, and 53% agreed to feeling frustrated during the search. CONCLUSIONS Most patients prefer a patient-led or shared decision making process when it comes to their anesthetic care and want to be engaged in the decision. However, only a small percentage of patients reported being fully engaged in the decision. Further studies should inform future shared decision-making tools, informed consent materials, educational materials and framing of anesthetic choices for patients so that they are able to make a choice regarding the anesthetic they receive.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Shivering is common following anesthesia and surgery. Corticosteroids (steroids) have been tried to reduce the risk of shivering, but the evidence in favor of their use is uncertain. The primary objective of this review was to evaluate the effect of steroids on the risk of perioperative (intra- and postoperative) shivering versus controls (placebo and active controls). Additional objectives were to assess the risk of severity of shivering, patient satisfaction with shivering prophylaxis, quality of recovery (QoR), and the risk of steroid-related adverse effects. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Registry of Trials, Google Scholar, and preprint servers were searched from inception until November 30, 2022. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in the English language were retrieved, provided they reported on shivering either as a primary or secondary outcome following steroid prophylaxis in adult patients undergoing surgery under spinal or general anesthesia. RESULTS A total of 3148 patients from 25 RCTs were included in the final analysis. The steroids used in the studies were either dexamethasone or hydrocortisone. Dexamethasone was administered intravenously or intrathecally, while hydrocortisone was administered intravenously. Prophylactic administration of steroids reduced the risk of overall shivering (risk ratio [RR], 0.65 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 0.52-0.82]; P = .0002; I2 = 77%) as well as the risk of moderate to severe shivering (RR, 0.49 [95% CI, 0.34-0.71]; P = .0002; I2 = 61%) in comparison to controls. Administration of intravenous dexamethasone (RR, 0.67 [95% CI, 0.52-0.87]; P = .002; I2 = 78%) and hydrocortisone (RR, 0.51 [95% CI, 0.32-0.80]; P = .003; I2 = 58%) were effective in shivering prophylaxis. For intrathecal dexamethasone (RR, 0.84 [95% CI, 0.34-2.08]; P = .7; I2 = 56%), the null hypothesis of no subgroup difference was not rejected ( P = .47), preventing definitive conclusions about the efficacy of this route of administration. The prediction intervals for both overall shivering risk (0.24-1.70) and risk of severity of shivering (0.23-1.0) precluded generalization of results in future studies. Meta-regression analysis was used to further explore heterogeneity. Factors like the dose and timing of administration of steroids or the type of anesthesia were not found to be significant. Patient satisfaction and QoR were higher in the dexamethasone groups versus placebo. No increased risk of adverse events of steroids was noted versus placebo or controls. CONCLUSIONS Prophylactic steroid administration may be beneficial in reducing the risk of perioperative shivering. However, the quality of evidence in favor of steroids is very low. Further well-designed studies are needed for establishing generalization.

Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in Female Patients Undergoing Breast and Gynecological Surgery: A Narrative Review of Risk Factors and Prophylaxis. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:909982. [PMID: 35847822 PMCID: PMC9283686 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.909982] [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: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) have been widely studied as a multifactorial entity, being of female gender the strongest risk factor. Reported PONV incidence in female surgical populations is extremely variable among randomized clinical trials. In this narrative review, we intend to summarize the incidence, independent predictors, pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for PONV reported in recently published clinical trials carried out in female patients undergoing breast and gynecologic surgery, as well as the implications of the anesthetic agents on the incidence of PONV. A literature search of manuscripts describing PONV management in female surgical populations (breast surgery and gynecologic surgery) was carried out in PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases. Postoperative nausea and vomiting incidence were highly variable in patients receiving placebo or no prophylaxis among RCTs whereas consistent results were observed in patients receiving 1 or 2 prophylactic interventions for PONV. Despite efforts made, a considerable number of female patients still experienced significant PONV. It is critical for the anesthesia provider to be aware that the coexistence of independent risk factors such as the level of sex hormones (pre- and postmenopausal), preoperative anxiety or depression, pharmacogenomic pleomorphisms, and ethnicity further enhances the probability of experiencing PONV in female patients. Future RCTs should closely assess the overall risk of PONV in female patients considering patient- and surgery-related factors, and the level of compliance with current guidelines for prevention and management of PONV.

Abstract
Background The frequency of shivering regarding regional anesthesia is 55%. Newer effective and tolerable options for postspinal anesthesia shivering (PSAS) prophylaxis are necessary to improve patients' quality of care. This research assessed the impact of preemptive mirtazapine versus preemptive dexamethasone to decrease frequency and severity of PSAS in gynecological procedures. Methods 300 patients booked for gynecological procedures under spinal anesthesia (SA) were randomly apportioned into three groups (100 each) to get one preemptive dose of 30 mg mirtazapine tablet (M group), 8 mg dexamethasone diluted in 100 ml of saline infusion (D group) or placebo (C group) two hours before surgery. Incidence of clinically significant PSAS was the primary outcome. Core temperature, shivering score, hemodynamics changes, adverse events, and patient satisfaction score were documented as secondary outcomes. Results Compared with C group, mirtazapine and dexamethasone decreased incidence of clinically significant shivering (74% vs. 16% and 31%, respectively; P < 0.001). M and D groups had less hypotensive episodes during 5–25 min after intrathecal injection (P < 0.001). 90 min after SA, tympanic temperatures were lower than baseline values in the three groups (P < 0.001). Pruritus, nausea, and vomiting were more often in C group (P < 0.001), whereas sedation was more frequent in M group (P < 0.001). C group had the lowest satisfaction scores (P < 0.001). Conclusion Prophylactic administration of mirtazapine or dexamethasone attenuated shivering with minimal hazards in patients scheduled for gynecological surgeries under spinal anesthesia with priority to mirtazapine. The trial is registered with NCT03675555.

Abstract
Background Postanesthetic shivering is an unpleasant adverse event in surgical patients. A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug has been reported to be useful in preventing postanesthetic shivering in several previous studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of flurbiprofen axetil being a prodrug of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug for preventing postanesthetic shivering in patients undergoing gynecologic laparotomy surgeries. Method This study is a retrospective observational study. I collected data from patients undergoing gynecologic laparotomy surgeries performed between October 1, 2019, and September 30, 2020, at Kumamoto City Hospital. All the patients were managed with general anesthesia with or without epidural analgesia. The administration of intravenous 50 mg flurbiprofen axetil for postoperative pain control at the end of the surgery was left to the individual anesthesiologist. The patients were divided into two groups: those who had received intravenous flurbiprofen axetil (flurbiprofen group) and those who had not received intravenous flurbiprofen axetil (non-flurbiprofen group), and I compared the frequency of postanesthetic shivering between the two groups. Additionally, the factors presumably associated with postanesthetic shivering were collected from the medical charts. Intergroup differences were assessed with the χ2 test with Yates’ correlation for continuity category variables. The Student’s t test was used to test for differences in continuous variables. Furthermore, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to elucidate the relationship between the administration of flurbiprofen axetil and the incidence of PAS. Results I retrospectively examined the cases of 141 patients aged 49 ± 13 (range 21-84) years old. The overall postanesthetic shivering rate was 21.3% (30 of the 141 patients). The frequency of postanesthetic shivering in the flurbiprofen group (n = 31) was 6.5%, which was significantly lower than that in the non-flurbiprofen group (n = 110), 25.5% (p value = 0.022). A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that administration of flurbiprofen axetil was independently associated with a reduced incidence of postanesthetic shivering (odds ratio 0.12; 95% confidence interval, 0.02-0.66, p value = 0.015). Conclusions My result suggests that intraoperative 50 mg flurbiprofen axetil administration for postoperative pain control is useful to prevent postanesthetic shivering in patients undergoing gynecologic laparotomy surgeries.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to investigate whether nerve conduction could be used to objectively evaluate mean effective volume of 1.5% lidocaine after subparaneural or extraparaneural injection. Methods Twenty patients undergoing unilateral foot or ankle surgery were randomized into either subparaneural or extraparaneural injection group, and ultrasound-guided continuous popliteal sciatic nerve block was performed. The action potential amplitude of the distal gastrocnemius muscle was monitored. The time of anesthesia onset and dosage of lidocaine were recorded when amplitude declined to 0.5 mV. The operative analgesic effect, score of numeric rating scales, patient’s satisfaction, and movement or sensation were recorded during or after surgery. Results Preoperative dose of local anesthetics (10.7±1.6 vs. 16.2±1.2 mL) and the time of onset (19.4±3.3 vs. 30.4±2.5 min) reduced significantly in the subparaneural group (P<0.05). The intra-operative analgesic effect (1.2±0.422 vs. 1.3±0.483) and the score of resting numeric rating scales (0.6±1.0 vs. 1.9±2.1 and 0.4±0.7 vs. 1.2±1.1) 24 and 48 h after surgery were comparable between groups, but the subparaneural group had markedly lower scores of activity numeric rating scales (0.3±0.6 vs. 2.1±2.0, 0.7±1.2 vs. 2.2±1.9 and 0.5±0.8 vs. 1.5±1.2) at 6, 24 and 48 h, and significantly higher satisfaction (9.7±0.5 vs. 8.8±0.8) (P<0.05). There were no obvious symptoms of movement or sensation within 3 days in two groups. Conclusions The nerve conduction can be used to objectively evaluate the mean effective volume of 1.5% lidocaine in different injection groups, and subparaneural injection has more advantages as compared to extraparaneural injection for continuous popliteal sciatic nerve block.

Abstract
Objective: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a daily phenomenon, to which less attention has been paid in a variety of surgeries. Despite the individual studies, there is no comprehensive study on the prevalence of PONV. The aim of this study was to determine the global prevalence of PONV. Materials and Methods: In this systematic and meta-analysis study, descriptive studies of four databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar) were searched for relevant texts from the time they were created until 31 December 2018. The random effects model was used for meta-analysis of studies included. All the steps were carried out by two individuals. Hoy et al.'s tool was used to evaluate its risk bias. Results: A total of 23 studies that were performed on 22,683 people from 11 countries were entered into the final phase. The prevalence of PONV, nausea, and vomiting was 27.7%, 31.4%, and 16.8%, respectively. The prevalence of PONV was higher during the first 24 h in European countries. Conclusion: Considering the high prevalence of PONV and our goal to better control it, it is necessary to use high cost-effective approaches and recommendations and to educate health caregivers and patients.

Abstract
Purpose This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the association between intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion and emergence agitation (EA), and recovery profiles after lung surgery in adult patients. It was hypothesized that dexmedetomidine was associated with reduced EA and improved recovery profiles. Patients and methods A single-center chart review was conducted on elective lung surgeries in adults between January and December 2016. The primary outcome was the incidence of EA in postanesthesia care units (PACUs). The secondary outcomes included rescue analgesia, shivering, time to extubation, residual sedation, postoperative pulmonary events, duration of PACU stay, length of hospital stay, and intraoperative hemodynamic changes. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were used to analyze data. Results Among 2,468 patients, 814 received an intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion. Intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion was associated with a lower incidence of EA (10.9% vs 15.0%; adjusted OR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.51–0.87; P=0.003), rescue analgesia (7.6% vs 12.2%; adjusted OR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.47–0.86; P=0.003), shivering (4.2% vs 6.6%; adjusted OR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.38–0.88; P=0.010), and intraoperative bradycardia (18.6% vs 12.6%; adjusted OR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.19–1.92; P=0.001). No differences were observed in residual sedation, duration of PACU stay, postoperative pulmonary events, and length of hospital stay between the groups. Conclusion This retrospective study suggested that intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion was associated with a lower incidence of EA, rescue analgesia, and shivering in adults after lung surgery. Intraoperative bradycardia was the main side effect.

Clinical impact of recovery room on post-operative walking performance in elderly patients submitted to hip surgery: a real-world analysis. Aging Clin Exp Res 2018; 30:999-1003. [PMID: 29198056 DOI: 10.1007/s40520-017-0860-2] [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: 10/09/2017] [Accepted: 11/11/2017] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Strategies aimed at favouring functional recovery after surgery for hip fracture may be of clinical importance. AIMS To test the clinical utility of a recovery room (RR) in terms of postoperative walking performance in an elderly population submitted to hip fracture surgery. METHODS Postoperative walking performance at rollator was assessed in 242 consecutive orthogeriatric patients able to follow the institutional physiotherapy protocol starting on day 1 after hip surgery. Group 1 (n = 186, age 86.0 ± 9.3 years, 24.7% male) was admitted to the RR for postoperative monitoring, whereas Group 2 (n = 56, age 85.2 ± 5.7 years, 23.2% male) was directly admitted to the ward. The best performance observed during the first three postoperative days was considered. RESULTS Group 1 showed a better walking performance than Group 2, with a 50% lower probability of walking < 5 m (relative risk 0.51, p = 0.0005) and a two-fold higher probability of walking > 10 m (relative risk 2.10, p = 0.0005). Multivariable analysis confirmed a favourable independent effect of the RR stay on walking performance (β = 0.205, p = 0.005). DISCUSSION Admission to the RR in elderly patients submitted to hip fracture surgery could have an independent beneficial effect on postoperative walking functional recovery. This beneficial effect could probably depend on the possibility of ensuring a more rapid management of postoperative issues CONCLUSIONS: These findings support the clinical utility of a RR implementation in facilities where hip surgery in elderly subjects is routinely performed.

Abstract
Postoperative shivering is a common complication of anaesthesia. Shivering is believed to increase oxygen consumption, increase the risk of hypoxemia, induce lactic acidosis, and catecholamine release. Therefore, it might increase the postoperative complications especially in high-risk patients. Moreover, shivering is one of the leading causes of discomfort for postsurgical patients. Shivering is usually triggered by hypothermia. However, it occurs even in normothermic patients during the perioperative period. The aetiology of shivering has been understood insufficiently. Another potential mechanism is pain and acute opioid withdrawal (especially with the use of short-acting narcotics). Besides that shivering is poorly understood, the gold standard for the treatment and prevention has not been defined yet. Perioperative hypothermia prevention is the first method to avoid shivering. Many therapeutic strategies for treating shivering exist and most are empiric. Unfortunately, the overall quality of the antishivering guidelines is low. Two main strategies are available: pharmacological and non-pharmacological antishivering methods. The combination of forced-air warming devices and intravenous meperidine is the most validated method. We also analysed different medications but final conclusion about the optimal antishivering medication is difficult to be drawn due to the lack of high-quality evidence. Nevertheless, control of PS is possible and clinically effective with simple pharmacological interventions combined with non pharmacological methods. However, to be consistent with the most up-to-date, evidence-based practice, future antishivering treatment protocols should optimize methodological rigor and transparency.
