Abstract
BACKGROUND OFA (Opioid-free anesthesia) has the potential to reduce the occurrence of opioid-related adverse events and enhance postoperative recovery. Our research aimed to investigate whether OFA, combining esketamine and dexmedetomidine, could serve as an alternative protocol to traditional OBA (opioid-based anesthesia) in shoulder arthroscopy, particularly in terms of reducing PONV (postoperative nausea and vomiting). METHODS A total of 60 patients treated with shoulder arthroscopy from September 2021 to September 2022 were recruited. Patients were randomly assigned to the OBA group (n = 30) and OFA group (n = 30), receiving propofol-remifentanil TIVA (total intravenous anesthesia) and esketamine-dexmedetomidine intravenous anesthesia, respectively. Both groups received ultrasound-guided ISBPB(interscalene brachial plexus block)for postoperative analgesia. RESULTS The incidence of PONV on the first postoperative day in the ward (13.3% vs. 40%, P < 0.05) was significantly lower in the OFA group than in the OBA group. Moreover, the severity of PONV was less severe in the OFA group than in the OBA group in PACU (post-anesthesia care unit) (0 [0, 0] vs. 0 [0, 3], P<0.05 ) and in the ward 24 h postoperatively ( 0 [0, 0] vs. 0 [0, 2.25], P<0.05). Additionally, the OFA group experienced a significantly shorter length of stay in the PACU compared to the OBA group (39.4 ± 6.76 min vs. 48.7 ± 7.90 min, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Compared to the OBA with propofol-remifentanil, the OFA with esketamine- dexmedetomidine proved to be feasible for shoulder arthroscopy, resulting in a reduced incidence of PONV and a shorter duration of stay in the PACU.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intraoperative opioids have been used for decades to reduce negative responses to nociception. However, opioids may have several, and sometimes serious, adverse effects. Cardiac surgery exposes patients to a high risk of postoperative complications, some of which are common to those caused by opioids: acute respiratory failure, postoperative cognitive dysfunction, postoperative ileus (POI) or death. An opioid-free anaesthesia (OFA) strategy, based on the use of dexmedetomidine and lidocaine, may limit these adverse effects, but no randomised trials on this issue have been published in cardiac surgery.We hypothesised that OFA versus opioid-based anaesthesia (OBA) may reduce the incidence of major opioid-related complications after cardiac surgery. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Multicentre, randomised, parallel and single-blinded clinical trial in four cardiac surgical centres in France, including 268 patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting under cardiac bypass, with or without aortic valve replacement. Patients will be randomised to either a control OBA protocol using remifentanil or an OFA protocol using dexmedetomidine/lidocaine. The primary composite endpoint is the occurrence of at least one of the following: (1) postoperative cognitive disorder evaluated by the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit test, (2) POI, (3) acute respiratory distress or (4) death within the first 48 postoperative hours. Secondary endpoints are postoperative pain, morphine consumption, nausea-vomiting, shock, acute kidney injury, atrioventricular block, pneumonia and length of hospital stay. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This trial has been approved by an independent ethics committee (Comité de Protection des Personnes Ouest III-Angers on 23 February 2021). Results will be submitted in international journals for peer reviewing. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04940689, EudraCT 2020-002126-90.

Pre-operative maintenance of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors is not associated with acute kidney injury in cardiac surgery patients with cardio-pulmonary bypass: a propensity-matched multicentric analysis. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1343647. [PMID: 38783960 PMCID: PMC11112351 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1343647] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective: We investigated the effects of the maintenance of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) the day of the surgery on the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and cardiac events in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods: We performed a multicentric observational study with propensity matching on 1,072 patients treated with ACE inhibitors. We collected their baseline demographic data, comorbidities, and operative and postoperative outcomes. AKI was defined by KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcome). Results: Maintenance of an ACE inhibitor was not associated with an increased risk of AKI (OR: 1.215 (CI95%:0.657-2.24), p = 0.843, 71 patients (25.1%) vs. 68 patients (24%)). Multivariate logistic regression and sensitive analysis did not demonstrate any association between ACE inhibitor maintenance and AKI, following cardiac surgery (OR: 1.03 (CI95%:0.81-1.3)). No statistically significant difference occurs in terms of incidence of cardiogenic shock (OR: 1.315 (CI95%:0.620-2.786)), stroke (OR: 3.313 (CI95%:0.356-27.523)), vasoplegia (OR: 0.741 (CI95%:0.419-1.319)), postoperative atrial fibrillation (OR: 1.710 (CI95%:0.936-3.122)), or mortality (OR: 2.989 (CI95%:0.343-26.034)). ICU and hospital length of stays did not differ (3 [2; 5] vs. 3 [2; 5] days, p = 0.963 and 9.5 [8; 12] vs. 10 [8; 14] days, p = 0.638). Conclusion: Our study revealed that maintenance of ACE inhibitors on the day of the surgery was not associated with increased postoperative AKI. ACE inhibitor maintenance was also not associated with an increased rate of postoperative major cardiovascular events (arterial hypotension, cardiogenic shock, vasopressors use, stroke and death).

Abstract
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs have been shown to lessen surgical insult, promote recovery, and improve postoperative clinical outcomes across a number of specialty operations. A core tenet of ERAS involves the provision of protocolized evidence-based perioperative interventions. Given both the growing enthusiasm for applying ERAS principles to cardiac surgery and the broad scope of relevant interventions, an international, multidisciplinary expert panel was assembled to derive a list of potential program elements, review the literature, and provide a statement regarding clinical practice for each topic area. This article summarizes those consensus statements and their accompanying evidence. These results provide the foundation for best practice for the management of the adult patient undergoing cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pain after cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) is important. It appears essential to reduce postoperative pain and morphine consumption. METHODS Retrospective study in a university hospital comparing patient benefiting from CRS-HIPEC under opioid-free anesthesia (OFA; dexmedetomidine) to those anesthetized with opioid anesthesia (OA; remifentanil) using a propensity score matching method. The main objective was the impact of OFA on postoperative morphine consumption in the first 24 h after surgery. RESULTS 102 patients were included, matching on the propensity score allowed selecting 34 unique pairs analyzed. Morphine consumption was lower in the OFA group than in the OA group (3.0 [0.00-11.0] mg/24 h vs. 13.0 [2.5-25.0] mg/24 h; p = 0.02). In multivariable analysis, OFA was associated with a reduction of 7.2 [0.5-13.9] mg of postoperative morphine (p = 0.04). The rate of renal failure with a KDIGO-score > 1 was lower in the OFA group than in the OA group (12% vs. 38%; p = 0.01). There was no difference between groups concerning length of surgery/anesthesia, norepinephrine infusion, volume of fluid therapy, post-operative complications, rehospitalization or ICU readmission within 90 days, mortality, and postoperative rehabilitation. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that OFA for CRS-HIPEC patients appears safe and is associated with less postoperative morphine use and acute kidney injury.

Clin J Pain 2024; 40:187-195.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our purpose was to explore the effect of remifentanil on acute and chronic postsurgical pain after cardiac surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Randomized controlled trials were retrieved from electronic databases, such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Internet databases, Scopus, and Web of Science. A systematic review, meta-analysis, and trial sequential analysis (TSA) were performed. Basic information and outcomes were extracted from the included studies. The primary outcome was chronic postsurgical pain. Secondary outcomes were scores of postsurgical pain and morphine consumption within 24 hours after cardiac surgery. Risk of bias (ROB) assessment was based on the Cochrane ROB tool version 2. The overall quality of the evidence was rated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system. RESULTS Seven studies consisting of 658 patients were enrolled in the meta-analysis. A single study had a high ROB and 2 studies had a moderate ROB. The incidence of chronic postsurgical pain (4 studies [415 patients]; risk ratio: 1.02 [95% CI: 0.53 to 1.95]; P = 0.95; I2 = 59%; TSA-adjusted CI: 0.78 to 1.20) and the postsurgical pain score (2 studies [196 patients]; mean difference: 0.09 [95% CI: -0.36 to 0.55]; P = 0.69; I2 = 0%; TSA-adjusted CI: -0.36 to 0.55) were not statistically different between the 2 groups. However, morphine consumption (6 studies [569 patients]; mean difference: 6.94 [95% CI: 3.65 to 10.22]; P < 0.01; I2 = 0%; TSA-adjusted CI: 0.00 to 0.49) was higher in the remifentanil group than in the control group. CONCLUSION There was not enough evidence to prove that remifentanil can increase the incidence of chronic postsurgical pain after cardiac surgery, but interestingly, the results tended to support a trend toward increased complications in the intervention group. However, there was moderate certainty evidence that the use of remifentanil increases the consumption of morphine for analgesia, and more direct comparison trials are needed to inform clinical decision-making with greater confidence.

Abstract
Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the treatment of choice for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (PH), provided lesions are proximal enough in the pulmonary vasculature to be surgically accessible and the patient is well enough to benefit from the operation in the longer term. It is a major cardiothoracic operation, requiring specialized techniques and instruments developed over several decades to access and dissect out the intra-arterial fibrotic material. While in-hospital operative mortality is low (<5%), particularly in high-volume centers, careful perioperative management in the operating theater and intensive care is mandatory to balance ventricular performance, fluid balance, ventilation, and coagulation to avoid or treat complications. Reperfusion pulmonary edema, airway hemorrhage, and right ventricular failure are the most problematic complications, often requiring the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to bridge to recovery. Successful PEA has been shown to improve both morbidity and mortality in large registries, with survival >70% at 10 years. For patients not suitable for PEA or with residual PH after PEA, balloon pulmonary angioplasty and/or PH medical therapy may prove beneficial. Here, we describe the indications for PEA, specific surgical and perioperative strategies, postoperative monitoring and management, and approaches for managing residual PH in the long term.

[PMID: 37822850 PMCID: PMC10563822 DOI: 10.14740/jocmr5000] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility of the opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) technique with dexmedetomidine, esketamine, and lidocaine among patients diagnosed with benign breast mass and scheduled for lumpectomy. Methods We enrolled 80 female patients who were aged from 18 to 60 years, graded with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I or II, diagnosed with benign breast mass, and scheduled for lumpectomy. These patients were randomly treated with OFA or opioid-based anesthesia (OBA). Dexmedetomidine-esketamine-lidocaine and sufentanil-remifentanil were administered in OFA and OBA group, respectively. We mainly compared the analgesic efficacy of OFA and OBA technique, as well as intraoperative hemodynamics, the quality of recovery, and satisfaction score of patients. Results There was no significant difference between the two groups with regard to visual analogue scale (VAS) score at 2, 12, and 24 h after extubation. However, the time to first rescue analgesic was prolonged in OFA group than that in OFB group (6.18 ± 1.00 min vs. 7.40 ± 0.92 min, P = 0.000). Further, mean arterial pressure and heart rate at T0 (entering operating room), T1 (before anesthesia induction), T2 (immediately after intubation), T3, T4, and T5 (1, 5, and 10 min after surgical incision, respectively) were significantly higher in OFA group than that in OBA group. Incidence of hypotension and bradycardia was lower in OFA group. Consistently, fewer patients in OFA group consumed atropine (8% vs. 32%, P = 0.019) and ephedrine (5% vs. 38%, P = 0.001) compared to OBA group. Furthermore, patients in OFA group had a longer awakening time (7.14 ± 2.63 min vs. 4.54 ± 1.14 min, P = 0.000) and recovery time of orientation (11.76 ± 3.15 min vs. 6.92 ± 1.19 min, P = 0.000). Fewer patients in the OFA group experienced postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) (11% vs. 51%, P = 0.000) and consumed ondansetron (5% vs. 35%, P = 0.003) compared to OBA group. And patients in OFA group had a higher satisfaction score than those in OBA group (9 (8 - 9) vs. 7 (7 - 8), P = 0.000). Conclusion For patients undergoing lumpectomy, OFA technique with dexmedetomidine-esketamine-lidocaine showed a better postoperative analgesic efficacy, a more stable hemodynamics, and a lower incidence of PONV. However, such advantage of OFA technique should be weighed against a longer awakening time and recovery time of orientation in clinical practice.

Protocol Study for the Evaluation of Non-Opioid Balanced General Anaesthesia in Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Randomised, Controlled, Multicentric Superiority Trial (OFACAR Study). J Clin Med 2023; 12:5473. [PMID: 37685539 PMCID: PMC10487869 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12175473] [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: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 08/19/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Opioid-free anaesthesia (OFA) is general anaesthesia based on the use of several non-opioid molecules that aim to have an analgesic effect, decrease the sympathetic response, decrease hormonal stress, and decrease the inflammatory response during surgery. Although this approach to anaesthesia is regularly used in clinical practice, it remains a novel approach. The literature on this anaesthesia modality finds a number of positive effects on cardiac, respiratory, and cognitive function but no randomised study evaluated these effects during cardiac surgery where there is a high incidence of postoperative complications. The main aim of the study is to compare OFA vs. standard balanced opioid general anaesthesia on the incidence of postoperative complications and the length of stay in intensive care and hospital. OFACAR is a multicentric, randomised, controlled, superiority, single-blind, two parallel-arm clinical trial in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. We compared a balanced general anaesthesia without opioids (OFA group) vs. a balanced opioid general anaesthesia with sufentanil (control group). One hundred and sixty patients will be enrolled in each treatment group. The primary endpoint is a composite one which corresponds to the occurrence of at least one of the postoperative complications, defined according to European standards within 30 days after surgery. Recruitment started in September 2019, and data collection is expected to end in November 2024.

Abstract
Pain after cardiac surgery is of moderate to severe intensity, which increases postoperative distress and health care costs, and affects functional recovery. Opioids have been central agents in treating pain after cardiac surgery for decades. The use of multimodal analgesic strategies can promote effective postoperative pain control and help mitigate opioid exposure. This Practice Advisory is part of a series developed by the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists (SCA) Quality, Safety, and Leadership (QSL) Committee's Opioid Working Group. It is a systematic review of existing literature for various interventions related to the preoperative and intraoperative pain management of cardiac surgical patients. This Practice Advisory provides recommendations for providers caring for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. This entails developing customized pain management strategies for patients, including preoperative patient evaluation, pain management, and opioid use-focused education as well as perioperative use of multimodal analgesics and regional techniques for various cardiac surgical procedures. The literature related to this field is emerging, and future studies will provide additional guidance on ways to improve clinically meaningful patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It remains to be determined whether opioid-free anaesthesia (OFA) is consistently effective for different types of surgery. OBJECTIVES The current study hypothesised that OFA could effectively inhibit intraoperative nociceptive responses, reduce side effects associated with opioid use, and improve the quality of recovery (QoR) in endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). DESIGN A multicentre randomised controlled study. SETTING Seven hospitals participated in this multicentre trial from May 2021 to December 2021. PATIENTS Of the 978 screened patients who were scheduled for elective ESS, 800 patients underwent randomisation, and 773 patients were included in the analysis; 388 patients in the OFA group and 385 patients in the opioid anaesthesia group. INTERVENTIONS The OFA group received balanced anaesthesia with dexmedetomidine, lidocaine, propofol and sevoflurane; the opioid anaesthesia group received opioid-based balanced anaesthesia using sufentanil, remifentanil, propofol and sevoflurane. OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was 24-h postoperative QoR as evaluated by the Quality of Recovery-40 questionnaire. The key secondary outcomes were episodes of postoperative pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). RESULTS A significant difference (P = 0.0014) in the total score of 24-h postoperative Quality of Recovery-40 was found between the OFA group, median [interquartile range], 191 [185 to 196] and the opioid anaesthesia group (194 [187 to 197]). There were significant differences between the opioid anaesthesia group and the OFA group in the numerical rating scale score for pain after surgery at 30 min (P = 0.0017), 1 h (P = 0.0052), 2 h (P = 0.0079) and 24 h (P = 0.0303). The difference in the area under the curve of pain scale scores between the OFA group (24.2 [3.0 to 47.5]) and the opioid anaesthesia group (11.5 [1.0 to 39.0]) was significant (P = 0.0042). PONV occurred in 58 of 385 patients (15.1%) in the opioid anaesthesia group compared with 27 of 388 patients (7.0%) in the OFA group, suggesting the incidence of PONV in the OFA group was significantly lower than in the opioid anaesthesia group (P = 0.0021). CONCLUSION OFA can provide good intraoperative analgesia and postoperative recovery quality as effectively as conventional opioid anaesthesia in patients undergoing ESS. OFA can be an alternative option in the pain management of ESS. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100046158; registry URL: http://www.chictr.org.cn/enIndex.aspx.).

Abstract
Objective To investigate the feasibility of multimodal regimen by paracetamol, gabapentin, ketamine, lidocaine, dexmedetomidine and sufentanil among cardiac surgery patients, and compare the analgesia efficacy with conventional sufentanil-based regimen. Design A single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Setting One participating center, the cardiovascular center of the major integrated teaching hospital. Participants A total of 115 patients were assessed for eligibility: 108 patients were randomized, 7 cases were excluded. Interventions The control group (group T) received conventional anesthesia management. Interventions in the multimodal group (group M) were as follows in addition to the standard of care: gabapentin and acetaminophen 1 hour before surgery; ketamine for induction and to maintain anesthesia with lidocaine and dexmedetomide. Ketamine, lidocaine, and dexmedetomidine were added to routine sedatives postoperatively in group M. Measurements and Main Results The incidence of moderate-to-severe pain on coughing made no significant difference (68.5% vs 64.8%, P=0.683). Group M had significantly less sufentanil use (135.72µg vs 94.85µg, P=0.000) and lower rescue analgesia rate (31.5% vs 57.4%, P=0.007). There was no significant difference in the incidence of chronic pain, PONV, dizziness, inflammation index, mechanical ventilation time, length of stay, and complications between the two groups. Conclusion Our multimodal regimen in cardiac surgery is feasible, but was not superior to traditional sufentanil-based regimen in the aspects of analgesia effects; however, it did reduce perioperative opioid consumption along with rescue analgesia rate. Moreover, it showed the same length of stay and the incidences of postoperative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are no data on the effect of balanced nonopioid general anesthesia with lidocaine in cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The main study objective was to evaluate the association between nonopioid general balanced anesthesia and the postoperative complications in relation to opioid side effects. METHODS Patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass between 2019 and 2021 were identified. After exclusion of patients for heart transplantation, left ventricular assistance device, and off-pump surgery, we classified patients according to an opioid general balanced anesthesia or a nonopioid balanced anesthesia with lidocaine. The primary outcome was a collapsed composite of postoperative complications that comprise respiratory failure and confusion, whereas secondary outcomes were acute renal injury, pneumoniae, death, intensive care unit (ICU), and hospital length of stay. RESULTS We identified 859 patients exposed to opioid-balanced general anesthesia with lidocaine and 913 patients exposed to nonopioid-balanced general anesthesia. Propensity score matching yielded 772 individuals in each group with balanced baseline covariates. Two hundred thirty-six patients (30.5%) of the nonopioid-balanced general anesthesia versus 186 patients (24.1%) presented postoperative composite complications. The balanced lidocaine nonopioid general anesthesia group was associated with a lower proportion with the postoperative complication composite outcome OR, 0.72 (95% CI, 0.58-0.92; P = .027). The number of patients with acute renal injury, death, and hospital length of stay did not differ between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS A balanced nonopioid general anesthesia protocol with lidocaine was associated with lower odds of postoperative complication composite outcome based on respiratory failure and confusion.

Abstract
Background: A significant amount of evidence suggests that Opioid-Free Anaesthesia (OFA) may provide better outcomes for patients undergoing surgery, sparing patients who are particularly vulnerable to adverse side effects of opioids. However, to what extent personalizing OFA is feasible and beneficial has not been adequately described. Methods: We conducted a narrative literature review aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of nociception and pain and its context within the field of OFA. Physiological (including monitoring), pharmacological, procedural (type of surgery), genetical and phenotypical (including patients’ conditions) were considered. Results: We did not find any monitoring robustly associated with improved outcomes. However, we found evidence supporting particular OFA indications, such as bariatric and cancer surgery. We found that vulnerable patients may benefit more from OFA, with an interesting field of research in patients suffering from vascular disease. We found a variety of techniques and medications making it impossible to consider OFA as a single technique. Our findings suggest that a vast field of research remains unexplored. In particular, a deeper understanding of nociception with an interest in its genetic and acquired contributors would be an excellent starting point paving the way for personalised OFA. Conclusion: Recent developments in OFA may present a more holistic approach, challenging the use of opioids. Understanding better nociception, given the variety of OFA techniques, may help to maximize their potential in different contexts and potential indications.

Abstract
PURPOSE Opioids have several adverse effects. At present, there are no large clinical studies on the effects of opioid-sparing anesthesia on early postoperative recovery after thoracoscopic surgery. This study was to investigate the effects of opioid-sparing anesthesia on early postoperative recovery after thoracoscopic surgery. METHODS Adult patients who underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery from 1 January 2019 to 28 February 2021 were enrolled by reviewing the electronic medical records. Participants were divided into opioid-sparing anesthesia (OSA group) and opioid-containing anesthesia (STD group) based on intraoperative opioid usage. The propensity-score analysis was to compare the early postoperative recovery of two groups. The outcome measurements included the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) during an entire hospital stay, need for rescue antiemetic medication, postoperative-pain episodes within 48 h after surgery, need for rescue analgesia 48 h postoperatively, duration of postoperative hospital stay, length of PACU stay, postoperative fever, postoperative shivering, postoperative atrial fibrillation, postoperative pulmonary infection, postoperative hypoalbuminemia, postoperative hypoxemia, intraoperative blood loss, and intraoperative urine output. RESULTS A total of 1,975 patients were identified. No significant difference was observed in patient characteristics between the OSA and STD groups after adjusting for propensity score-based inverse probability treatment weighting. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting was significantly lower in the OSA group than in the STD group (14.7% vs. 18.9%, p = 0.041). The rescue antiemetic use rate was lower in the OSA group than in the STD group (7.5% vs.12.2%; p = 0.002). PACU duration was longer in the OSA group than in the STD group (70.8 ± 29.0 min vs. 67.3 ± 22.7 min; p = 0.016). The incidence of postoperative fever was higher in the STD group than that in the OSA group (11.0% vs.7.7%; p = 0.032). There were no differences between the groups in terms of other outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that opioid-sparing anesthesia has a lower incidence of postoperative complications than opioid-based anesthetic techniques.

[PMID: 36295622 PMCID: PMC9611455 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58101462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2022] [Revised: 10/07/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a multimodal opioid-sparing component, providing chest-wall analgesia of variable extent, duration, and intensity. The objective was to examine the ESPB effect on perioperative opioid usage and postoperative rehabilitation when used within a Nociception Level (NOL) index-directed anesthetic protocol. Materials and Methods: This prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label study was performed in adult patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery in a single tertiary hospital. Eighty-three adult patients who met eligibility criteria were randomly allocated to group 1 (Control, n = 43) and group 2 (ESPB, n = 40) and received general anesthesia with NOL index-directed fentanyl dosing. Preoperatively, group 2 also received bilateral single-shot ultrasound-guided ESPB (1.5 mg/kg/side 0.5% ropivacaine mixed with dexamethasone 8 mg/20 mL). Postoperatively, both groups received intravenous paracetamol (1 g every 6 h). Morphine (0.03 mg/kg) was administered for numeric rating scale (NRS) scores ≥4. Results: The median (IQR, 25th−75th percentiles) intraoperative fentanyl and 48 h morphine dose in group 2-to-group 1 were 1.2 (1.1−1.5) vs. 4.5 (3.8−5.5) µg·kg−1·h−1 (p < 0.001) and 22.1 (0−40.4) vs. 60.6 (40−95.7) µg/kg (p < 0.001). The median (IQR) time to extubation in group 2-to-group 1 was 90 (60−105) vs. 360 (285−510) min (p < 0.001). Two hours after ICU admission, 87.5% of ESPB patients were extubated compared to 0% of controls (p < 0.001), and 87.5% were weaned off norepinephrine compared to 46.5% of controls (p < 0.001). The median NRS scores at 0, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after extubation were significantly decreased in group 2. There was no difference in opioid-related adverse events and length of stay. Conclusions: NOL index-directed ESPB reduced intraoperative fentanyl by 73.3% and 48 h morphine by 63.5%. It also hastened the extubation and liberation from vasopressor support and improved postoperative analgesia.

Anesthesia induction regimens may affect QT interval in cardiac surgery patients: A randomized-controlled trial. TURKISH JOURNAL OF THORACIC AND CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY 2022; 30:354-362. [PMID: 36303704 PMCID: PMC9580297 DOI: 10.5606/tgkdc.dergisi.2022.23321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 05/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects on QT interval of the propofol-ketamine combination and the midazolam-fentanyl combination in anesthesia induction for cardiac surgery.
Methods: Between September 2020 and June 2021, a total of 9 5 c ardiac s urgery p atients ( 80 m ales, 1 5 f emales; mean age: 57±9.1 years; range, 26 to 76 years) were included. The patients were divided into two groups as Group PK (propofol-ketamine, n=50) and Group MF (midazolam-fentanyl, n=45). The 12-lead electrocardiographic and hemodynamic measurements were performed at three time points: before anesthesia induction, after anesthesia induction, and after endotracheal intubation. The measurements were evaluated with conventional Bazett's formula and a new model called index of cardio-electrophysiological balance.
Results: The evaluated QTc values of 95 patients after anesthesia induction were significantly prolonged with the Bazett's formula and the index of cardio-electrophysiological balance in Group PK (p=0.034 and p=0.003, respectively). A statistically significant QTc prolongation was observed with the index of cardio-electrophysiological balance after laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in Group PK (p=0.042). Hemodynamic parameters were also higher in Group PK.
Conclusion: Our study shows that the propofol-ketamine combination prolongs the QTc value determined by the Bazett's formula and the index of cardio-electrophysiological balance model. Using both QTc measurement models, the midazolam-fentanyl combination has no prolongation effect on QTc interval in coronary surgery patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide recommendations for enhanced recovery after cardiac surgery (ERACS) based on a multimodal perioperative medicine approach in adult cardiac surgery patients with the aim of improving patient satisfaction, reducing postoperative mortality and morbidity, and reducing the length of hospital stay. DESIGN A consensus committee of 20 experts from the French Society of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine (Société française d'anesthésie et de réanimation, SFAR) and the French Society of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (Société française de chirurgie thoracique et cardio-vasculaire, SFCTCV) was convened. A formal conflict-of-interest policy was developed at the onset of the process and enforced throughout. The entire guideline process was conducted independently of any industry funding. The authors were advised to follow the principles of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system to guide the assessment of the quality of evidence. METHODS Six fields were defined: (1) selection of the patient pathway and its information; (2) preoperative management and rehabilitation; (3) anaesthesia and analgesia for cardiac surgery; (4) surgical strategy for cardiac surgery and bypass management; (5) patient blood management; and (6) postoperative enhanced recovery. For each field, the objective of the recommendations was to answer questions formulated according to the PICO model (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome). Based on these questions, an extensive bibliographic search was carried out and analyses were performed using the GRADE approach. The recommendations were formulated according to the GRADE methodology and then voted on by all the experts according to the GRADE grid method. RESULTS The SFAR/SFCTCV guideline panel provided 33 recommendations on the management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass or off-pump. After three rounds of voting and several amendments, a strong agreement was reached for the 33 recommendations. Of these recommendations, 10 have a high level of evidence (7 GRADE 1+ and 3 GRADE 1-); 19 have a moderate level of evidence (15 GRADE 2+ and 4 GRADE 2-); and 4 are expert opinions. Finally, no recommendations were provided for 3 questions. CONCLUSIONS Strong agreement existed among the experts to provide recommendations to optimise the complete perioperative management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) provides analgesia minimizing opioids. OFA has not been evaluated in cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with or without heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy. We aim to evaluate OFA feasibility and effectiveness in CRS. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of adult patients (84) undergoing CRS in a tertiary center from May 2020 until June 2021. Predefined protocols for either opioid-based anesthesia (OBA) or OFA were followed. RESULTS OFA protocol patients (41) had better mean pain scores (1 ± 0.8 vs. 2 ± 1; p = 0.00) despite the avoidance of intravenous and epidural fentanyl intraoperatively (220 ± 104 and 194 ± 73 µg, respectively, in OBA vs. 0; p = 0.00). Postoperative epidural levobupivacaine was also lower in the OFA group (575 ± 192 vs. 706 ± 346 mg; p = 0.034) despite the lack of epidural fentanyl without difference in duration (4.3 ± 1.2 vs. 4 ± 1.2 days; p = 0.22). Morphine consumption was very low (4.1 ± 10 vs. 1.7 ± 5 mg; p = 0.16). Intraoperative hypertensive events and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) were higher for OBA (43) (30.2% vs. 7.3%; p = 0.01% and 69.8% vs. 34.1%; p = 0.001, respectively). Postoperative epidural fentanyl was independently associated with PONV (p = 0.004). There was no difference in total complications or length of stay. CONCLUSION OFA is feasible, safe, and offers optimal pain control while minimizing the use of opioids in CRS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We performed this randomised controlled trial to evaluate the effect of opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) on postoperative analgesia after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. METHODS 78 patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery were randomized to receive either OFA (Group OF) or opioid-inclusive anesthesia (Group C). Postoperative sufentanil consumption within the first 24 h, visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, postoperative equivalent milligrams of morphine (EMM), severity of postoperative nausea (PN) and vomiting (PV), prevalence of PONV, use of antiemetics, time to first passage of flatus were compared by a two-tailed Student's t test, Wilcoxon rank-sum tests or Fisher's exact tests. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to assess the effect of allocation of groups over time. RESULTS The median [IQR] sufentanil consumption within 24 h was lower in Group OF (4[4.5]) than in Group C (6[8], mean difference [MD]=-2, 95% confidence interval [CI] [-4 to 0], P=0.029). The VAS scores at rest and during coughing at 6 h (P=0.009 at rest; P=0.002 during coughing), VAS scores during coughing at 2h (P=0.013) and 4 h (P=0.008), EMM (P=0.026), severities of PN (P=0.003) and PV (P=0.003), and the mean time to first passage of flatus (P=0.017) was significantly less in Group OF than that in Group C. The prevalence of PONV (26.3% [Group OF], 68.4% [Group C], OR=0.31, 95% CI [0.158 to 0.589], P <0.001), use of antiemetics (5.3% [Group OF], 28.9% [Group C], OR=0.136, 95% CI[0.028 to 0.667], P=0.012) was also significantly different between groups. CONCLUSIONS Compared to opioid-inclusive anesthesia during laparoscopic gynecologic surgery, OFA was associated with significant improvement in postoperative analgesia, reduced PONV incidenceprevalence and severity, and faster first passage of flatus.

Abstract
Background Acute postoperative pain (APP) has a high incidence in breast surgery, and opioids are the most commonly used drugs for its management; however, they are not free from systemic side effects, which may increase comorbidity. In the past few years, opioid-free anaesthesia has been favoured with promising results. Methods We conducted a descriptive study including 71 patients who underwent breast cancer surgery. The opioid group (n = 41) received fentanyl for induction, remifentanil for maintenance, and rescue morphine before waking up, whereas the ketamine group (n = 30) received a ketamine bolus for induction followed by continuous ketamine infusion during surgery. Later, the presence and intensity of pain were registered, using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS 1-10) for pain, at different times in the recovery room, at 24 hours and at 3 months. Results Administration of ketamine is more effective than opioid use for APP prevention in breast cancer surgery because the ketamine group presented with less pain than the opioid group (p < 0.05) at all measured times. When there was pain, patients in the ketamine group gave a lower score to its intensity (p < 0.05). Conclusions Ketamine could reduce the incidence of APP in breast cancer surgery, compared to opioids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reducing intra-operative opioid consumption benefits patients by decreasing postoperative opioid-related adverse events. We assessed whether opioid-free anesthesia would provide effective analgesia-antinociception monitored by analgesia index in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. METHODS Patients (ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ, 18-65 years old, BMI <30 kg m-2) scheduled to undergo video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery under general anesthesia were randomly allocated into two groups to receive opioid-free anesthesia (group OFA) with dexmedetomidine, sevoflurane plus thoracic paravertebral blockade or opioid-based anesthesia (group OA) with remifentanil, sevoflurane, and thoracic paravertebral blockade. The primary outcome variable was pain intensity during the operation, assessed by the depth of analgesia using the pain threshold index with the multifunction combination monitor HXD‑I. Secondary outcomes included depth of sedation monitoring by wavelet index and blood glucose concentration achieved from blood gas. RESULTS One hundred patients were randomized; 3 patients were excluded due to discontinued intervention and 97 included in the final analysis. Intraoperative pain threshold index readings were not significantly different between group OFA and group OA from arriving operation room to extubation (P = 0.86), while the brain wavelet index readings in group OFA were notably lower than those in group OA from before general anesthesia induction to recovery of double lungs ventilation (P <0.001). After beginning of operation, the blood glucose levels in group OFA increased compared with baseline blood glucose values (P < 0.001). The recovery time and extubation time in group OFA were significantly longer than those in group OA (P <0.007). CONCLUSIONS This study suggested that our OFA regimen achieved equally effective intraoperative pain threshold index compared to OA in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Depth of sedation was significantly deeper and blood glucose levels were higher with OFA. Study's limitations and strict inclusion criteria may limit the external validity of the study, suggesting the need of further randomized trials on the topic.

Abstract
Background No previous study investigated the dexmedetomidine-based opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) protocol in cardiac surgery. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and the postoperative opioid-sparing effect of dexmedetomidine-based OFA in adult cardiac surgery patients. Methods We conducted a single-centre and retrospective study including 80 patients above 18 years old who underwent on-pump cardiac surgery between November 2018 and February 2020. Patients were divided into two groups: OFA (lidocaine, ketamine, dexmedetomidine, MgSO4) or opioid-based anaesthesia (remifentanil and anti-hyperalgesic medications such as ketamine and/or MgSO4 and/or lidocaine at the discretion of the anesthesiologist). The primary endpoint was the total amount of opioid consumed in its equivalent of intravenous morphine during the first 48 postoperative hours. Secondary outcomes included perioperative hemodynamics, post-operative maximal pain at rest and during coughing and adverse outcomes. Data are expressed as median [interquartile range]. Results Patients in the OFA-group had a higher EuroSCORE II, with more diabetes, more dyslipidemia and more non-elective surgery but fewer smoking history. In the OFA group, the median loading dose of dexmedetomidine was 0.6 [0.4–0.6] μg.kg− 1 while the median maintenance dose was 0.11 μg.kg− 1.h− 1 [0.05–0.20]. In 10 (25%) patients, dexmedetomidine was discontinued for a drop of mean arterial pressure below 55 mmHg. The median total amount of opioid consumed in its equivalent of intravenous morphine during the first 48 postoperative hours was lower in the OFA group (15.0 mg [8.5–23.5] versus 30.0 mg [17.3–44.3], p < 0.001). While no differences were seen with rest pain (2.0 [0.0–3.0] versus 0.5 [0.0–5.0], p = 0.60), the maximal pain score during coughing was lower in OFA group (3.5 [2.0–5.0] versus 5.5 [3.0–7.0], p = 0.04). In OFA group the incidence of atrial fibrillation (18% versus 40%, p = 0.03) and non-invasive ventilation use (25% versus 48%, p = 0.04) were lower. The incidence of bradycardia and the intraoperative use of norepinephrine were similar between both groups. Conclusion Dexmedetomidine-based OFA in cardiac surgery patients is feasible and could be associated with a lower postoperative morphine consumption and better postoperative outcomes. Further randomized studies are required to confirm these promising results and determine the optimal associations, dosages, and infusion protocols during cardiac surgery. Graphical abstract ![]()

Abstract
The ERAS guidelines are intended to identify, disseminate and promote the implementation of the best, scientific evidence-based actions to decrease variability in clinical practice. The implementation of these practices in the global clinical process will promote better outcomes and the shortening of hospital and critical care unit stays, thereby resulting in a reduction in costs and in greater efficiency. After completing a systematic review at each of the points of the perioperative process in cardiac surgery, recommendations have been developed based on the best scientific evidence currently available with the consensus of the scientific societies involved.

Abstract
Enhanced Recovery Programs (ERPs) are protocols involving the whole patient surgical journey. These protocols are based on multimodal, multidisciplinary, evidence-based, and patient-centered approaches aimed at improving patient recovery after a surgical intervention. Such programs have shown striking positive results in different surgical specialties. However, only a few research groups have incorporated preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative evidence-based interventions in bundles used to standardize care and build cardiac surgery ERPs. The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Society recently published evidence-based recommendations for perioperative care in cardiac surgery. Their recommendations included 22 perioperative interventions that may be part of any cardiac ERP. However, various components integrated in already-published cardiac ERPs were neither graded nor reported in these recommendations. The goals of the current review are to present published cardiac ERPs and their effects on patient outcomes and reported components incorporated into these ERPs and to discuss the objectives and scope of cardiac ERPs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the effect of anaesthesia and ICU sedation with sevoflurane to protect the myocardium against ischemia-reperfusion injury associated to cardiac surgery assessed by troponin release. METHODS We performed a prospective, open-label, randomized study in cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Patients were randomized to an algorithm-based intervention group and a control group. The main outcome was the perioperative kinetic of cardiac troponin I (cTnI). The secondary outcomes included composite endpoint, GDF-15 (macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1) value, arterial lactate levels, and the length of stay (LOS) in the ICU. RESULTS Of 82 included patients, 81 were analyzed on an intention-to-treat basis (intervention group: n = 42; control group: n = 39). On inclusion, the intervention and control groups did not differ significantly in terms of demographic and surgical data. The postoperative kinetics of cTnI did not differ significantly between groups: the mean difference was 0.44 ± 1.09 μg/ml, P = .69. Incidence of composite endpoint and GDF-15 values were higher in the sevoflurane group than in propofol group. The intervention and control groups did not differ significantly in terms of ICU stay and hospital stay. CONCLUSION The use of an anaesthesia and ICU sedation with sevoflurane was not associated with a lower incidence of myocardial injury assessed by cTnI. Sevoflurane administration was associated with higher prevalence of acute renal failure and higher GDF-15 values.

[PMID: 33593477 PMCID: PMC8021968 DOI: 10.3238/arztebl.2020.0833] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2019] [Revised: 12/19/2019] [Accepted: 05/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND High-dose opioids are conventionally used for cardiac anesthesia, but without monitoring of nociception. In non-cardiac surgical procedures the intra - operative dose of opioids can be individualized and reduced with pupillometric monitoring of the pupillary pain index (PPI; scale 1-9). A randomized controlled trial was carried out to explore whether pupillometry can be used for nociception monitoring in cardiac anesthesia and whether it leads to opioid reduction. METHODS A sample of 57 cardiac surgery patients receiving continuously administered sufentanil (initial dosage 0.7 μg*kg-¹*h-¹) was divided into a PPI group (sufentanil reduction if PPI<3 up to a minimum of 0.15 μg*kg-¹*h-¹, n=32) and a control group (standard anesthesia; n = 25). The primary outcome was the time from the end of anesthesia to extubation. The secondary outcomes were total intraoperative dose of sufentanil/noradrenaline, postoperative pain intensity (numeric rating scale [NRS] 0-10) and intraoperative awareness. German Clinical Trials Registry no. DRKS 00012329. RESULTS The primary outcome, extubation time, did not differ between the two groups (1.14 h, 95% confidence interval [-0.99; 3.27], p = 0.592). Compared with the control patients (68% male, age 70 ± 10.4 years, PPI 1.1 ± 0.2), the mean sufentanil infusion rate in the PPI patients (81% male, age 68 ± 10.3 years, PPI 1.1 ± 0.2) decreased by 81.8% (-0.68 μg*kg-¹*h-¹ [-0,7; -0.67], p<0.001) to the predetermined minimum level, without intraoperative awareness. Moreover, the noradrenaline dose was reduced by 56% (1235.51 μg [321.91; 2149.12], p = 0.005) and the postoperative pain intensity by 45% (2.11 NRS [0.93; 3.3] after 24 h, p = 0.003). CONCLUSION Pupillometry is appropriate for nociception monitoring in cardiac anesthesia. Thereby a considerable reduction of intraoperative opioids as well as increased intraoperative hemodynamic stability was achieved and postoperative opioid-induced hyperalgesia was prevented. The consistently low PPI scores, indicating adequate analgesia, suggest that further reduction of opioid doses is feasible.

Abstract
Pupillometry has proven effective for the monitoring of intraoperative analgesia in non-cardiac surgery. We performed a prospective randomized study to evaluate the impact of an analgesia-guided pupillometry algorithm on the consumption of sufentanyl during cardiac surgery. Fifty patients were included prior to surgery. General anesthesia was standardized with propofol and target-controlled infusions of sufentanyl. The standard group consisted of sufentanyl target infusion left to the discretion of the anesthesiologist. The intervention group consisted of sufentanyl target infusion based on the pupillary pain index. The primary outcome was the total intraoperative sufentanyl dose. The total dose of sufentanyl was lower in the intervention group than in the control group and (55.8 µg [39.7–95.2] vs 83.9 µg [64.1–107.0], p = 0.04). During the postoperative course, the cumulative doses of morphine (mg) were not significantly different between groups (23 mg [15–53] vs 24 mg [17–46]; p = 0.95). We found no significant differences in chronic pain at 3 months between the 2 groups (0 (0%) vs 2 (9.5%) p = 0.49). Overall, the algorithm based on the pupillometry pain index decreased the dose of sufentanyl infused during cardiac surgery. Clinical trial number: NCT03864016.

Abstract
The high number of patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus requiring care for ARDS puts sedation in the critical care unit (CCU) to the edge. Depth of sedation has evolved over the last 40 years (no-sedation, deep sedation, daily emergence, minimal sedation, etc.). Most guidelines now recommend determining the depth of sedation and minimizing the use of benzodiazepines and opioids. The broader use of alpha-2 adrenergic agonists ('alpha-2 agonists') led to sedation regimens beginning at admission to the CCU that contrast with hypnotics+opioids ("conventional" sedation), with major consequences for cognition, ventilation and circulatory performance. The same doses of alpha-2 agonists used for 'cooperative' sedation (ataraxia, analgognosia) elicit no respiratory depression but modify the autonomic nervous system (cardiac parasympathetic activation, attenuation of excessive cardiac and vasomotor sympathetic activity). Alpha-2 agonists should be selected only in patients who benefit from their effects ('personalized' indications, as opposed to a 'one size fits all' approach). Then, titration to effect is required, especially in the setting of systemic hypotension and/or hypovolemia. Since no general guidelines exist for the use of alpha-2 agonists for CCU sedation, our clinical experience is summarized for the benefit of physicians in clinical situations in which a recommendation might never exist (refractory delirium tremens; unstable, hypovolemic, hypotensive patients, etc.). Because the physiology of alpha-2 receptors and the pharmacology of alpha-2 agonists lead to personalized indications, some details are offered. Since interactions between conventional sedatives and alpha-2 agonists have received little attention, these interactions are addressed. Within the existing guidelines for CCU sedation, this article could facilitate the use of alpha-2 agonists as effective and safe sedation while awaiting large, multicentre trials and more evidence-based medicine.

The use of multimodal low-opioid anesthesia for coronary artery bypass grafting surgery in conditions of artificial blood circulation. POLISH JOURNAL OF THORACIC AND CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY 2020; 17:111-116.

Abstract
Introduction Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the main cause of death worldwide, and according to experts, they will continue to dominate the structure of global mortality. Aim The effectiveness of the multimodal low-opioid anesthesia technique in performing coronary artery bypass graft operations with artificial blood circulation. Material and methods Ninety-six patients aged 61.8 ±10.4 years underwent coronary artery bypass grafting under artificial blood circulation. Group I: propofol, sevoflurane, fentanyl, pipecuronium bromide (standard doses). Group II: dexketoprofen trometamol (50 mg), intravenous lidocaine (1% – 1 mg/kg bolus) and continuous lidocaine infusion (1.5–2 mg/kg/h), propofol, ketamine (0.5 mg/kg), magnesia sulfate, minimal doses of fentanyl. Results Average duration of anesthesia – 257.4 ±19.1 min; assisted blood circulation – 55 ±10 min. Mean dose of fentanyl in group I – 4.66 ±1.58 µg/kg/h, in group II – 1.29 ±0.32 µg/kg/h.Standard lab values and stress hormonal changes were within the normal range (mean cortisol: 479.3 ±26.4 nmol/l, lactate 1.61 ±0.2 mmol/l, glucose 6.42 ±0.9 mmol/l). Changes in heart rate within group I had a significant amplitude of dynamics, while in group II, these values were relatively at the same level throughout the entire anesthetic provision. Mean arterial pressure changes in group I were characterized by a significant reduction at the stage of induction, support and sternum reduction, whereas in group II it was relatively at the same level during the entire anesthetic management and significantly differed from baseline only at the stage of induction. Conclusions Multimodal low-opioid anesthesia during coronary artery bypass surgery with artificial blood circulation allows one to ensure adequate analgesia and avoid the intraoperative usage of routine doses of fentanyl, as indicated by the absence of hemodynamic and endocrine-metabolic changes.

Reducing Opioid Use in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery - Preoperative, Intraoperative, and Critical Care Strategies. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2020; 35:2155-2165. [PMID: 33069556 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2020.09.103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2020] [Revised: 09/01/2020] [Accepted: 09/09/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery are exposed to opioids in the operating room and intensive care unit and after hospital discharge. Opportunities exist to reduce perioperative opioid use at all stages of care and include alternative oral and intravenous medications, novel intraoperative regional anesthetic techniques, and postoperative opioid-sparing sedative and analgesic strategies. In this review, currently used and investigational strategies to reduce the opioid burden for cardiothoracic surgical patients are explored.

Comparison of Opioid-Free Anesthesia Versus Opioid-Containing Anesthesia for Elective Laparoscopic Surgery (COFA: LAP): A Protocol Measuring Recovery Outcomes. Methods Protoc 2020; 3:mps3030058.

Abstract
The administration of opioids is a central element in contemporary anesthetic techniques in Australia; however, opioids have a range of side effects. As an alternative, opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) is an emerging mode of anesthesia intended to avoid these side effects. This study is the first to publish the use of OFA in Australia and is conducted in a regional Queensland Health Service. The design will utilize a randomized clinical trial (RCT) to investigate the impact of OFA for patients having an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (n = 40) or tubal ligation (n = 40). Participant outcomes to be measured include: Quality of Recovery (QoR-15); Oral Morphine Equivalent Daily Dose (OMEDD) at 24-h post-operatively; time to first opioid (TTFO) dose; post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV); Post Anesthetic Care Unit length of stay (PACU-LOS); and hospital length of stay (LOS). The findings may challenge the essentiality of opioids in the peri-operative period, which in turn would influence the future intra-operative management of surgical patients. Ultimately, a reduction in anesthesia-associated opioid use will support a more general decline in opioid use.

Influence of low-opioid anesthesia in cardiac surgery on dynamics of pro-inflammatory interleukin-6. POLISH JOURNAL OF THORACIC AND CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY 2020; 17:39-43. [PMID: 32728362 PMCID: PMC7379208 DOI: 10.5114/kitp.2020.94190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2019] [Accepted: 01/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Introduction With coronary artery bypass grafting, patients are subjected to additional risk caused by both surgical treatment itself and pathophysiological changes in homeostasis, provoked by the action of anesthetics and cardiopulmonary bypass. Material and methods The study involved 60 patients, who had been subjected to coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass. All patients were divided into two groups: group I (30 patients) – low-opioid scheme of anesthesia and group II (30 patients) – standard scheme of anesthetic management. Blood interleukin-6 (IL-6) was identified before and after cardiopulmonary bypass using an ELISA test. Results Having compared IL-6 values between study groups after completion of cardiopulmonary bypass, it was established that IL-6 levels were 27.51% (p = 0.001) lower in patients of group I compared with the results of patients in group II. Patients in the first group had a significantly shorter time of mechanical ventilation compared to group II (2.1 ±0.7 hours vs. 3.9 ±0.9 hours, p = 0.021). Low cardiac output syndrome was significantly less frequently reported in patients of group I (10.0% vs. 33.3%, p = 0.028). In addition, patients in group I had a significantly shorter time of intensive care unit (ICU) stay (2.5 ±0.7 days vs. 3.5 ±1.0 days, p = 0.044). Conclusions Application of multimodal low-opioid anesthesia was associated with significantly lower IL-6 at the end of surgery, shorter mechanical ventilation duration, less frequent low cardiac output syndrome and need for catecholamines, and shorter ICU stays.

Abstract
This article represents a selective review of literature published in 2019. Initial results from PubMed searching for a combination of terms, including cardiac anesthesiology and anesthesiology outcomes, yielded more than 1400 publications. From there, we manually screened the results and identified 5 major themes for the year of 2019, including transcatheter techniques, delirium and anesthesiology, coagulation management following cardiopulmonary bypass, perfusion management with del Nido cardioplegia, and applied clinical research. The following research accomplishments have expanded what is possible and set ambitious goals for the future.

Abstract
Despite improvements in surgical techniques and perioperative care, cardiac surgery still is burdened by relatively high mortality and frequent major postoperative complications, including myocardial dysfunction, pulmonary complications, neurologic injury, and acute kidney injury. Although the surgeon's skills and volume and patient- and procedure-related risk factors play a major role in the success of cardiac surgery, there is growing evidence that also optimizing perioperative care may improve outcomes significantly. The present review focuses on the aspects of perioperative care that are strictly related to the anesthesia regimen, with special reference to volatile anesthetics and neuraxial anesthesia, whose effect on outcome in adult cardiac surgery has been investigated extensively.
