Baek J, Kim YM. The Impact of Parental Presence on Emergence Delirium in Pediatric Patients After General Anesthesia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. J Perianesth Nurs 2024; 39:475-483. [PMID: 38219079 DOI: 10.1016/j.jopan.2023.10.002] [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: 02/02/2023] [Revised: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/01/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study reviewed existing literature on parental presence in cases of pediatric patients after general anesthesia and explored its effect on emergence delirium (ED) in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS After protocol registration, we searched the PubMed, EMBASE, CINHAL, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and CENTRAL databases. Two authors independently searched and selected the relevant studies, assessed their risk of bias, and abstracted the data. The primary outcome was ED, and the additional outcome was pain. We provided the narrative synthesis and meta-analysis results. FINDINGS Of the 296 articles retrieved, 6 were included in the narrative synthesis, and 5 were used for the meta-analysis. Four studies were randomized controlled trials, and two studies were nonrandomized controlled trials. There were 348 pediatric patients in the parental presence group and 314 pediatric patients in the usual care group. Parental presence effectively reduced the ED score (mean difference, -0.58; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.84 to -0.31; P < .001). The ED incidence rate (log odds ratio, -0.58; 95% CI, -1.24 to 0.09; P = .090) and pain score (standardized mean difference, -0.24; 95% CI, -0.57 to 0.10; P = .163) were lower in the parental presence group than in the usual care group. However, the differences were not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS The presence of parents in the PACU can reduce ED in pediatric patients. Therefore, parental presence may be a useful intervention in the PACU.

Comparison of anaesthesia-related outcomes in patients monitored by newly recruited nurse anaesthetists and anaesthesiologists: An observational study. J Clin Nurs 2024; 33:1482-1492. [PMID: 38013235 DOI: 10.1111/jocn.16940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023]
Abstract
AIMS To compare anaesthesia-related outcomes between patients monitored by newly recruited nurse anaesthetists and those monitored by newly recruited anaesthesiologists. DESIGN This was a retrospective study. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study that collected demographic information on newly recruited nurse anaesthetists and anaesthesiologists between 2017 and 2022 and recorded information on patients within 6 months of monitoring. Postoperative pain, emergency agitation, nausea, and vomiting were designated anaesthesia-related outcomes. Propensity score matching was used to adjust for covariates. The study adhered to the STROBE guidelines. RESULTS The study's statistical analysis included 4483 patients monitored by 22 newly recruited nurse anaesthetists and 4959 patients monitored by 23 newly recruited anaesthesiologists. Compared with patients monitored by newly trained anaesthesiologists, the patients monitored by nurse anaesthetists were younger (42.07 ± 20.00 vs. 47.39 ± 18.45 years, p < 0.001) and had a lower body mass index (23.56 ± 4.46 vs. 24.19 ± 4.25, p < 0.001). Patients monitored by anaesthesiologists had a greater proportion of women (61.62% vs. 59.25%, p < 0.001), a high proportion of ASA III and ASA IV (17.1% vs. 8.88%, p < 0.001), and a longer mean surgery duration (78.65 ± 59.01 vs. 70.70 ± 60.65 min, p < 0.001). After propensity score matching was used to adjust for covariates, no statistically significant differences were found in the prevalence of postoperative pain, emergency agitation, or postoperative nausea and vomiting between the two groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Nurse anaesthetists monitoring alone during anaesthesia maintenance is feasible and safe. The two groups had no significant differences in the incidence of postoperative pain, emergency agitation, or postoperative nausea and vomiting. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE The shortage of anaesthesiologists leads to heavy work burden and high incidence of occupational burnout among anaesthesiologists. The study found that it was safe for nurse anaesthetists to perform anaesthetic monitoring alone in the operating room under the supervision of the attending anaesthesiologist and did reduce the burden of anaesthesiologists' work. The results of the current study contribute to the expansion of occupational categories for nurse anaesthetists in countries where anaesthesiologists are in short supply. It provides new ideas for hospital administrators and policy-makers to formulate medical and nursing service policies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was identified the risk factors for and designed to investigate influence of postoperative moderate-to-severe pain of post anaesthesia care unit (PACU) in patients with malignancy. METHODS A retrospective study was performed on 22,600 cancer patients with malignancy who underwent elective radical surgery in the new hospital of First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, between January 2016 and June 2021. All patients were transferred to the PACU after tracheal extubation. Patients were divided into two groups according to a visual analogue scale (VAS) score of > 3: the no-moderate-severe-pain group and moderate-to-severe-pain group. Data pertaining to demographic, surgical, anaesthetic, and other factors were recorded. Lasso and logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the risk factors, then a nomogram was constructed to predict the moderate-severe-pain in the PACU. Validation was performed by using another 662 cancer patients in old hospital. The ROC curves and calibration curve were used to evaluate the accuracy and predictive ability of the nomogram. RESULTS The incidence of postoperative moderate-to-severe pain of PACU in patients with malignancy was 1.42%. Gender, type of surgery, postoperative use of PCA, intraoperative adjuvant opioid agonists, NSAIDS, epidural analgesia, duration of anaesthesia, intraoperative massive haemorrhage, PACU vomiting were independent predictors for postoperative moderate-to-severe pain of PACU in the patients with malignancy. The area under the ROC curve of the predictive models in the primary and validation groups were 0.817 and 0.786, respectively. Moderate-to-severe pain in the PACU correlated with hypertension, hyperglycaemia, agitation, and hypoxemia (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The prediction model for postoperative moderate-to-severe pain of PACU in patients with malignancy has good predictive ability and high accuracy, which is helpful for PACU medical staff to identify and prevent postoperative moderate-to-severe pain in advance. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was approved by the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University (No.KY2021-097) and registered in the Chictr.org.cn registration system on 06/12/2021 (ChiCTR2100054013).

Abstract
Due to the global increase in thoracic interventions, there is greater emphasis on refining post-operative care. The purpose of this study was to validate the visual analogue scale (VAS) as the valid method for measuring post-operative pain in thoracic surgery patients. From January 2020 to June 2022, this cross-sectional study investigated 240 adult patients who underwent elective thoracic surgeries in Thoracic Surgery Department of Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital. The participants were instructed to rate their discomfort using VAS at predetermined intervals after surgery. The following demographic and clinical information was recorded: age, gender, type of thoracic surgery, and history of chronic pain. Results showed a progressive decline in post-operative VAS scores over 72 h: 8.2 immediately after surgery, 6.0 at 24 h, 5.4 at 48 h, and 3.6 by 72 h. There were notable correlations between VAS scores and chronic pain history, with moderately positive correlation of 0.40 being observed. Mean scores for males and females were 3.8 and 3.9, respectively. The analysis by age revealed comparable mean scores for age categories below and above 40. With the exception of thoracic wall resection, which resulted in an average VAS score of 4.1 ± 1.0 (p < 0.05), the type of surgery had the minimal effect on variability of pain scores. The VAS is a reliable method for evaluating post-thoracic surgery discomfort. Given the substantial impact of pain history on VAS scores, there is an urgent need for personalized pain management strategies to improve post-operative care.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) causes pain and discomfort after surgery. The primary causes of immediate postoperative pain after PCNL are visceral pain from the ureters and kidneys, and body surface discomfort from incisions. Acute, untreated pain has the potential to develop into chronic pain, which remains a considerable burden for the rehabilitation of patients. The goal of this review was to describe the current options for treating pain post-PCNL. METHODS We conducted a literature review of all published manuscripts on pain protocols for patients undergoing PCNL and related topics; 50 published manuscripts were identified and reviewed. RESULTS PCNL morbidity must be reduced by an appropriate management of postoperative pain. Opioids, multimodal therapy, tubeless PCNL, reduced size of nephrostomy tube, and regional anesthesia are currently available for reducing postoperative pain. CONCLUSIONS Implementing successful treatment strategies for postoperative pain after PCNL is key in reducing the morbidity and mortality of PCNL.

Abstract
AIMS Increasing opioid-related adverse events and deaths have amplified interest in non-opioid analgesic options. Peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) are useful in pain management, especially in minimally invasive day surgeries. This evaluation sought to examine patterns of opioid use among adult patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, stratified by use of PNBs. DESIGN A retrospective, observational design. SETTINGS A large tertiary medical center and community hospital in the Inland Northwest. PARTICIPANTS/SUBJECTS A dataset of 8,493 adult patients undergoing elective total knee arthroplasty, 3,432 of which received a PNB while 5,061 did not. METHODS A deidentified dataset was obtained to evaluate: (a) opioid use frequency, (b) average morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs) administered, (c) independent factors associated with opioid administration, and (d) time to first opioid administered in adults undergoing total knee arthroplasty while in the recovery room, stratified by use of PNBs. RESULTS When controlling for general anesthesia, opioid use frequency was reduced when PNBs were administered (p < .05). The amount of MMEs consumed was 15 mg less in the group receiving a PNB (p < .001). In a linear regression model, PNBs reduced the MMEs consumed by 5 mg (p = .014). Time-to-first opioid was increased in patients receiving general anesthesia and PNBs with a hazards ratio of 0.70 (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS Peripheral nerve blocks are an opioid-sparing technique in adult patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS The results confirm best practices regarding opioid-sparing PNBs. Postoperative opioids are appropriate, but regimens incorporating PNB administration for total knee arthroplasty help reduce opioid use.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine whether a combined music pharmacological intervention was an effective multimodal approach to reduce adult pain in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). DESIGN A prospective, randomized control trial study. METHODS Participants were recruited in the preoperative holding area on the day of surgery by the principal investigators. Music was selected by the patient following the informed consent process. Participants were randomized either to the intervention group or the control group. Patients in the intervention group received music in addition to standard pharmacological protocol while the control group received only the standard pharmacological protocol. Measured outcomes were change in visual analog pain scores and length of stay. FINDINGS In this cohort (N = 134), 68 participants (50.7%) received the intervention, and 66 participants (49.3%) were in the control group. Paired t tests showed that pain scores for the control group worsened by an average of 1.45-points (95% CI: 0.75, 2.15; P < .001) compared to 0.34-points in the intervention group and was not significant (P = .314) as scores went from 1 out of 10 to 1.4 out of 10. Both control and intervention groups experienced pain, with the control group's overall pain scores worsening over time. This finding was statistically significant (P = .023). No statistically significant difference was noted in the average PACU length of stay (LOS). CONCLUSIONS The addition of music to the standard postoperative pain protocol demonstrated a lower average pain score on discharge from the PACU. The absence of a difference in LOS may be due to the confounding variables (eg, general versus spinal anesthesia or a difference in voiding time).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative analgesia is crucial for the early and effective recovery of patients undergoing surgery. Although postoperative multimodal analgesia is widely practiced, opioids such as fentanyl are still one of the best analgesics. The analgesic response of fentanyl varies widely among individuals, probably due to genetic and nongenetic factors. Among genetic factors, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may influence its analgesic response by altering the structure or function of genes involved in nociceptive, fentanyl pharmacodynamic, and pharmacokinetic pathways. Thus, it is necessary to comprehensively ascertain if the SNPs present in the aforementioned pathways are associated with interindividual differences in fentanyl requirement. In this study, we evaluated the association between 10 candidate SNPs in 9 genes and 24-hour postoperative fentanyl dose (primary outcome) and also with postoperative pain scores and time for first analgesia (secondary outcomes). METHODS A total of 257 South Indian women, aged 18-70 years, with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III, undergoing major breast surgery under general anesthesia, were included in the study. Patients were genotyped for candidate SNPs using real-time polymerase chain reaction. All patients received a standardized intravenous fentanyl infusion through a patient-controlled analgesic (PCA) pump, and the 24-hour postoperative fentanyl dose requirement was measured using PCA. RESULTS The median 24-hour postoperative fentanyl requirement was higher in rs1799971 carriers (G/G versus A/A + A/G-620 μg [500-700] vs 460 μg [400-580]) with a geometric mean (GM) ratio of 1.91 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.071-1.327). The median 24-hour pain scores were higher in rs4680 carriers (A/G + A/A versus G/G-34 [30-38] vs 31 [30-38]) with a GM ratio of 1.059 (95% CI, 1.018-1.101) and were lower in rs1045642 carriers (A/A + A/G versus G/G-34 [30-38] vs 30 [30-34]) with a GM ratio of 0.936 (95% CI, 0.889-0.987). The median time for first analgesic was lower in rs734784 carriers [C/C versus T/T + C/T-240 minutes (180-270) vs 240 minutes (210-270)] with a GM ratio of 0.902 (95% CI, 0.837-0.972). Five of 9 clinical factors, namely, history of diabetes, hypertension, hypothyroidism, anesthesia duration, and intraoperative fentanyl requirement were associated with different outcomes individually ( P < .05) and were used to adjust the respective associations. CONCLUSIONS The SNP opioid receptor mu-1 ( OPRM1 ) (rs1799971) was associated with higher postoperative fentanyl requirement in South Indian patients undergoing major breast surgery. Twenty-four hour postoperative pain scores were higher in catechol-O-methyl transferase ( COMT ) (rs4680) carriers and lower in ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 ( ABCB1 ) (rs1045642) carriers, whereas time for first analgesic was lower in potassium channel subunit 1 ( KCNS1 ) (rs734784) carriers. However, these exploratory findings must be confirmed in a larger study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To make early predictions of PACU VAS before surgery, we created a novel nomogram for the early prediction of PACU VAS in patients having laparoscopic radical excision of colorectal cancer with fentanyl. METHODS From July 2018 to December 2020, a total of 101 patients in Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer were enrolled in this study. For feature selection, a stepwise regression model was utilized. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to establish a prediction model. We incorporated age, gender, weight, height, fentanyl dosage during operation, operation time, and OPRM1 genotype, and this was presented with a nomogram. The nomogram's performance was evaluated in terms of discrimination and clinical utility. RESULTS The signature, which comprised of seven carefully chosen characteristics, was linked to the PACU VAS for the development dataset. Predictors contained in the individualized prediction nomogram included age, gender, weight, height, fentanyl dosage during operation, operation time, and OPRM1 genotype. With an area under the ROC curve of 0.877 (95% CI, 0.6874-1.0000), the model showed good discrimination. The nomogram still had good discrimination. Decision curve analysis demonstrated that the nomogram was clinically useful. CONCLUSIONS The nomogram presented in this study incorporates age, gender, weight, height, fentanyl dosage during operation, operation time, and OPRM1 genotype and can be conveniently used to facilitate the individualized prediction of PACU VAS in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer with fentanyl.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to examine the association between the A118G polymorphism of the OPRM1 gene and the risk of increased VAS scores in patients with colorectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic radical resection for which fentanyl was used. METHODS The OPRM1 A118G genotype in subjects were detected. The relationship between the A118G polymorphism of the OPRM1 gene and increased Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores throughout the perioperative period was explored. A total of 101 patients receiving fentanyl anesthesia undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of colon tumors at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University between July 2018 and December 2020 were investigated in the present study. The relative risk between the A118G polymorphism of the OPRM1 gene and VAS ≥ 4 in the PACU was estimated using the adjusted effect relationship diagram, baseline characteristic analysis, and multiple logistic regression analysis. The relationship between the A118G polymorphism of the OPRM1 gene and VAS in the PACU, as well as perioperative fentanyl usage, was examined after confounders were adjusted. RESULTS Subjects with OPRM1 A118G wild gene A were less sensitive to fentanyl, which was a risk factor for PACU VAS ≥ 4. Before the model was adjusted, the odds ratio (OR) was 14.73 (P = 0.001). After adjusting for age, sex, weight, height, and the duration of surgery, the OR increased to 16.55 (P = 0.001). When adjusting for age, sex, weight, height, surgery duration, COMT Val158Met gene polymorphism, CYP3A4 *1G gene polymorphism, and CYP3A5 *3gene polymorphism, the OR was 19.94 (P = 0.002). Moreover, OPRM1 A118G wild type gene A was found to be a risk factor for increased dosage of fentanyl in the PACU. Before the model was adjusted, the OR reached 16.90 (P = 0.0132). After adjusting for age, sex, body weight, intraoperative fentanyl dosage, surgery duration, and height, the OR was 13.81, (P = 0.0438). When adjusting for age, sex, weight, height, intraoperative fentanyl dosage, surgery duration, COMT Val158Met gene polymorphism, CYP3A4 *1G gene polymorphism, and CYP3A5 *3 gene polymorphism, the OR reached 15.23, (P = 0.0205). CONCLUSION The A118G polymorphism of the OPRM1 gene carrying wild gene A was a risk factor for VAS ≥ 4 in the PACU. Moreover, it is a risk factor for increased dosage of fentanyl in the PACU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The paravertebral block (PVB) is an adjunctive perioperative pain control method for patients undergoing breast reconstruction that may improve perioperative pain control and reduce narcotic use. This study determined the efficacy of preoperative PVBs for perioperative pain management in patients undergoing tissue expander breast reconstruction. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of patients who underwent tissue expander breast reconstruction from December of 2017 to September of 2019. Two patients with PVBs were matched using propensity scoring to one no-block patient. Perioperative analgesic use, pain severity scores on days 2 to 10 after discharge, and BREAST-Q Physical Well-Being scores before surgery and at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months after surgery were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The propensity-matched cohort consisted of 471 patients (314 PVB and 157 no block). The PVB group used significantly fewer morphine milligram equivalents than the no-block group (53.7 versus 69.8; P < 0.001). Average daily postoperative pain severity scores were comparable, with a maximum difference of 0.3 points on a 0-point to 4-point scale. BREAST-Q Physical Well-Being scores were significantly higher for the PVB group than the no-block group at 6 weeks after surgery (60.6 versus 51.0; P = 0.015) but did not differ significantly at 2 weeks or 3 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS PVBs may help reduce perioperative opioid requirements but did not reduce pain scores after discharge when used as part of an expander-based reconstruction perioperative pain management protocol. Continued research should examine additional or alternative regional block procedures as well as financial cost and potential long-term impact of PVBs.

Abstract
PURPOSE Several methods have been proposed for postoperative pain management, including administration of opioid analgesics, epidural analgesia, and perineural and infiltrative techniques; however, data are lacking on the relationship between pain intensity, patients' age and gender, and surgery duration. DESIGN Prospective, observational, single-center study. METHODS The study included patients greater than or equal to 18 years old who underwent surgery with different anesthesia types, grouped according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists' physical status classification score. The McGill Pain Questionnaire was used to assess postoperative pain intensity. The postoperative pain evaluation was performed in the first 5 minutes on entering the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), and at 30 minutes and 24 hours after the operation. RESULTS Our results showed a significant negative relationship between pain intensity as assessed at 5 and 30 minutes postoperatively and age. Postoperative pain intensity at 24 hours was significantly lower after low-risk surgeries lasting up to 1 hour; pain intensity was also significantly lower at 30 minutes following epidural anesthesia. When nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were not administered in the PACU, pain intensity was significantly lower at 5 minutes, 30 minutes, and 3 hours. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative analgesic administration should be conducted in accordance with age and surgery type. Additionally, epidural anesthesia can reduce the immediate postoperative pain intensity.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the effect of ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) combined with patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) and PCIA alone on analgesia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). METHODS In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial, 160 patients undergoing LC were randomized into the TAPB group (n = 80) and PCIA group (n = 80). Bilateral ultrasound-guided TAPB was performed with 20 mL 0.5% ropivacaine and the PCIA pump was given after LC in the TAPB group. The PCIA group received the PCIA pump alone as a control group. The primary outcome was postoperative pain, assessed by the visual analog scale (VAS). RESULTS VAS pain (including abdominal wall pain or visceral pain) scores at rest and coughing were significantly lower in the TAPB group at 1, 4, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h after LC (P < 0.05). Postoperative additional analgesic needs, analgesic pump compressions, and PCIA analgesic dosages, and total morphine equivalents were significantly reduced in the TAPB group, and postoperative hospital stay, total hospitalization expenses, expenses within 24 h or 48 h (from analgesia and adverse reactions), and patient satisfaction were significantly higher in the TAPB group than the PCIA group (all P < 0.05). No significant between-group differences were observed in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, unplugging the analgesic pump due to adverse reactions, first exhaust time, and postoperative adverse events between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Ultrasound-guided TAPB combined with PCIA was an effective and safe perioperative analgesic technique for patients undergoing LC compared to PCIA only.

Effectiveness of Bariatric Surgery Targeting Opioid Prescriptions (BSTOP) protocol on postoperative pain control. Surg Endosc 2022:10.1007/s00464-022-09646-4. [PMID: 36167874 PMCID: PMC9514885 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-022-09646-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 10/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical pain management is a critical component in the success of bariatric procedures. With the opioid epidemic, there have been increased efforts to decrease opioid use. In 2019, the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program developed the BSTOP protocol, a multimodal perioperative pain management regimen to minimize opioid use. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the BSTOP protocol on patients' need for opioid medications during their perioperative care. METHODS This is a single-institution prospective cohort study on patients who underwent bariatric surgery from 10/2019 to 5/2021. Data was collected on morphine equivalent dose of opioids during different stages of inpatient and outpatient care. BSTOP was implemented on 7/2020. Primary outcomes were total inpatient and outpatient opioid use as well as hospital length of hospital stay (LOS). Gabapentin was removed from the protocol between 10/20/2020 and 12/31/2020 due to side effects; it was re-implemented on 1/1/2021 due to observed spikes in opioid use during its absence. RESULTS 1264 patients who had bariatric surgery between 10/2019 and 5/2021 were included in the study, with 409 patients before (pre-BSTOP) and 855 patients after BSTOP implementation. There was a 36% reduction in total inpatient opiate use and a 57% reduction in total outpatient opiate use. LOS also significantly decreased, from 1.53 to 1.28 days. 179 patients received BSTOP without gabapentin. These patients used more opioids in the post-anesthesia care unit and on the inpatient floors compared to pre-BSTOP and BSTOP with gabapentin patients. With total inpatient and outpatient opioid use, patients on BSTOP without gabapentin used fewer opioids than those pre-BSTOP. However, those on BSTOP without gabapentin used more opioids than those with gabapentin. CONCLUSION The BSTOP protocol significantly reduced inpatient and outpatient opioid use as well as LOS. Gabapentin is a crucial component of the BSTOP protocol.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Analyses of fast-track processes demonstrated that low-risk cardiac surgical patients require minimal intensive care, with a low incidence of mortality or morbidity. We investigated perioperative factors and their association with fast-track failure in a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing minimally invasive mitral valve surgery. METHODS Patients undergoing minimally invasive surgical mitral valve repair for Carpentier type I or type II mitral regurgitation between 2014 and 2020 were included in the study. The definition of fast-track failure consisted of > 10 hours mechanical ventilation, >24 hours intensive care unit stay, re-intubation after extubation and re-admission to the intensive care unit. Multivariable logistic regression analysis enabled the identification of factors associated with fast-track failure. RESULTS In total, 491 patients were included in the study and were analysed. Two-hundred and thirty-seven patients (48.3%) failed the fast-track protocol. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that a New York Heart Association classification ≥3 (OR 2.05; CI 1.38-3.08; p < 0.001, pre-existing chronic kidney disease (OR 2.03; CI 1.14-3.70; p = 0.018), coronary artery disease (OR 1.90; CI 1.13-3.23; p = 0.016), postoperative bleeding requiring surgical revision (OR 8.36; CI 2.81-36.01; p < 0.001) and procedure time (OR 1.01; CI 1.01-1.01; p < 0.001) were independently associated with fast-track failure. CONCLUSIONS Factors associated with fast-track failure in patients with Carpentier type I and II pathologies undergoing minimally invasive mitral valve repair are a New York Heart Association classification III-IV at baseline, pre-existing chronic kidney disease and coronary artery disease. Postoperative bleeding requiring rethoracotomy and procedure time were also identified as important factors associated with failed fast-track. CLINICAL REGISTRATION NUMBER The corresponding local ethics committee (Charité Medical School, Berlin, Germany) approved the present study which complies with the Declaration of Helsinki (ethics approval number: EA2/175/20).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients commonly develop postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Acupuncture-related techniques and low-level laser therapy could be beneficial for pain management for older individuals. OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of low-level laser acupuncture (LA) in reducing postoperative pain, pain-related interference in daily life, morphine consumption, and morphine-related side effects in older patients with knee osteoarthritis who underwent TKA. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTION A single-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial was conducted. Patients (N = 82) were recruited and randomly assigned via a computer-generated list to the LA group or a placebo group. The LA group received low-level laser therapy at Sanyinjiao (SP6), Taixi (KI3), Kunlun (BL60), Fengshi (GB31), Futu (ST32) and Neiguan (PC6) after TKA, while the placebo acupuncture group received the same treatment procedure without laser energy output. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was postoperative pain intensity, and it was measured at baseline and hours 2, 6, 10, 24, 48 and 72 after TKA. The secondary outcomes, including relative pain, postoperative pain-related interference in daily life and morphine consumption, were measured at hours 24, 48 and 72 after TKA. RESULTS Generalized estimating equations revealed significant between-group differences in pain intensity (P = 0.01), and trend differences in pain intensity for the LA group starting at hours 10 to 72 (P < 0.05) and morphine consumption at hours 48 and 72 (P < 0.05). The changes in pain-related interference in daily life were significant (P < 0.05) at 72 h, with the exception of the parameters for worst pain, mood, and sleep. Nausea and vomiting side effects from morphine had significant between-group differences at hours 10 and 24 (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Low-level LA gradually reduced older patients' postoperative pain intensity and morphine consumption within the first 72 h after their TKA for osteoarthritis. Low-level LA may have benefits as an adjuvant pain management technique for clinical care. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov registration number NCT03995446.

Abstract
Background The study was to assess the efficacy and safety of nalbuphine combined with dexmedetomidine for preventive analgesia in endoscopic sinus surgery. Methods 110 patients with deviation of the nasal septum were randomized into the nalbuphine group (group N), dexmedetomidine combined with nalbuphine group (group DN), and saline group (group C). Fifteen minutes before the induction of anesthesia, patients in group N were injected nalbuphine 0.2 mg/kg intravenously; patients in group DN received intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg and injection of nalbuphine 0.2 mg/kg; patients in group C received 0.9% saline. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), numerical rating scale (NRS) scores, quality of recovery-40 (QoR-40) scores, the need for remedial analgesia, the consumption of remifentanil and propofol, and the incidence of adverse reactions were recorded. Results MAP, HR, and NRS scores of the DN group were significantly lower and the QoR-40 scores were higher than those of groups N and C (P < 0.001). The need for remedial analgesia, the consumption of remifentanil and propofol, and the incidence of nausea in the DN group were the lowest among the three groups (P < 0.001). Conclusion Preventive analgesia with nalbuphine and dexmedetomidine in endoscopic sinus surgery can not only maintain hemodynamic stability but also reduce intraoperative anesthetic dosage, postoperative pain, and improve the quality of postoperative recovery without affecting the revival and extubation time.

Abstract
Introduction
Caesarean sections (CS) feature prominently in obstetric care and have impacted positively on maternal / neonatal outcomes globally including Ghana. However, in spite of documented increasing CS rates in the country, there are no studies assessing the adequacy of post-CS pain control. This study assessed the adequacy of post-CS pain management as well as factors influencing this outcome. Additionally, post-CS analgesia prescription and serving habits of doctors and nurses were also described to help fill existing knowledge gaps.
Methods
Pain scores of 400 randomly selected and consenting post-CS women at a tertiary facility in Ghana were assessed at 6–12 hours post-CS at rest and with movement and at 24–36 hours post-CS with movement using a validated visual analog scale (VAS) from February 1, 2015 to April 8, 2015. Participant characteristics including age, marital status and duration of CS were obtained using pretested questionnaires and patient records review. Descriptive statistics were presented as frequencies and proportions. Associations between background characteristics and the outcome variables of adequacy of pain control at 6–12 hours post-CS at rest and with movement and at 24–36 hours post-CS with movement were analysed using Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests and logistic regression methods. Adequate pain control was defined as VAS scores ≤5.
Results
At 6–12 hours post-CS (at rest), equal proportions of participants had adequate and inadequate pain control (50.1% vrs 49.9%). Over the same time period but with movement, pain control was deemed inadequate in 93% of respondents (369/396). Women who had one previous surgery [OR 0.47 95%CI 0.27, 0.82; p = 0.008] and those whose CS lasted longer than 45 mins [OR 0.39 95% CI 0.24, 0.62; p<0.001] had lower odds of reporting adequate pain control. Women prescribed 12-hourly and 8-hourly doses of pethidine had only 23.5% (12/51) and 10.3% (3/29) served as prescribed respectively. At 24–36 hours post CS, adequate pain control was reported by 85.3% (326/382) of participants.
Conclusions
Pain management was deemed inadequate within the first 12 hours post-CS with potential implications for early mother-child interaction. Appreciable numbers of participants did not have their analgesics served as prescribed. Adjunct pain control measures should be explored and healthcare workers must be encouraged to pay more attention to patients’ pain relief needs.

Abstract
Pain is an everyday challenge during all surgeries and it is a chief postoperative complication, so pain management is a corner stone in anesthetic practice. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy PCNL surgeries are usually associated with acute postoperative pain. Ultrasound guided nerve block is considered a recent technique for pain management. it provides better visualization of the nerves and reduces the risk for complications e.g. unintended injury to adjacent structures. Erector spinae plane (ESP) block is a novel method of delivering postoperative analgesia after PCNL surgery, technique involves injecting local anaesthetic into the interfascial plane between the erector spinae muscle and the transverse processes.and is therefore devoid of major adverse effects like pneumothorax, spinal cord trauma, and hypotension that can occur with other types of blocks like thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB). The goal of this research was to determine the analgesic efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided ESP. block done at T8 transverse process level in patients undergoing PCNL surgeries for intraoperative and postoperative analgesia.

Abstract
Introduction This prospective, randomized controlled study aimed to investigate the efficacy and respiratory effects of postoperative pain management with an erector spinae plane block in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Methods Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I-II patients aged 18-65 years, scheduled to undergo percutaneous nephrolithotomy, were randomized either to the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) or control group. Fifteen mL 0.5% bupivacaine at the T11 level was administered preoperatively using the in-plane technique in the ESPB group. In both groups, 1 gr of intravenous paracetamol was administered intraoperatively. Postoperative pain and agitation were evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS), dynamic VAS at zero, six, and 24 hours, and the Riker sedation-agitation scale at the 0th hour after surgery. Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and oxygen saturation (SpO2) were measured in preoperative examination and at the 0th, 6th, and 24th hours postoperatively. The time and number of the analgesic requirement, mobilization, and discharge time were also recorded. Results A significantly lower VAS and dynamic VAS were observed at the 0th, 6th, and 24th hours in the ESPB group (p<0.05 for each timepoint). The postoperative/preoperative PEFR ratio was lower and there were more agitated patients in the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion An erector spinae plane block may have additional clinical advantages while providing effective analgesia in patients who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy compared to intravenous analgesia.

Abstract
The Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI), an objective measure of pain based on heart rate variability (HRV), has its usefulness in awake patients still unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess ANI's accuracy compared to self-reported pain measures in conscious individuals undergoing medical procedures or painful stimuli. PubMed, Ovid, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, and grey literature were searched until March 2021. Of the 832 identified citations, 16 studies complied with the eligibility criteria. A meta-analysis including nine studies demonstrated a weak negative correlation between ANI and NRS for pain assessment in individuals in the post-anesthetic recovery room (r = − 0.0984, 95% CI = − 0.397 to 0.220, I2 = 95.82%), or in those submitted to electrical stimulus (r = − 0.089; 95% CI = − 0.390 to 0.228, I2 = 0%). The evidence to use ANI in conscious individuals is weak compared to self-report measures of pain, yet ANI explains a part of self-report. Therefore, some individuals may be benefited from the use of ANI during procedures or in the immediate postoperative period.

Abstract
Background Immediate postoperative pain in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) is common. Titration of opioid is the most popular strategy for controlling early postoperative pain. ABO blood group has been found to be associated with pain perception. We aimed to find the factors including ABO blood group for predicting the amount of opioid requirement in PACU. Methods This prospective cohort study was performed in 3316 patients who underwent various kinds of anesthetic techniques and received immediate postoperative care in PACU. Preoperative, intraoperative and PACU data were collected. A directed acyclic graph (DAG) representing the hypothesized causal pathways of preoperative, intraoperative and PACU data were compiled prior to conducting multinomial logistic regression analysis. Statistical significance in all models was defined as a P-value < 0.05. Results Female sex, body mass index, preoperative use of gabapentin, preoperative anxiety score, anesthetic techniques, type of operation, amount of consumed intraoperative opioids, intraoperative use of paracetamol, parecoxib and ondansetron, duration of anesthesia and surgery, amount of blood loss, pain upon PACU arrival, use of paracetamol and parecoxib in PACU were found to be factors influencing amount of opioid consumption in PACU. ABO blood group was not associated with early postoperative opioid requirement. Conclusions A significant number of factors are related to amount of opioid requirement in PACU. Some factors can be adjusted to provide better pain relief in early postoperative period. However, ABO blood group is not identified to be a predictive factor for early postoperative opioid consumption in PACU.

Abstract
This study compares the effectiveness of two laser wavelengths for stimulating acupoints in an experimental model of acute postoperative pain. Forty-five Wistar rats were randomly assigned to receive treatment on their left hind paw, contralateral to a surgical procedure. Laser treatments were performed with Green Laser-GL (532 nm, 70 mW and 7 J/cm2 of energy), Red Laser-RL (660 nm, 100 mW and 7 J/cm2 of energy), or with Laser Off-LO. After each application, the animals were evaluated with a Von Frey analgesiometer to check for painful sensitivity on their right (with surgery) and left (without surgery) hind paws. Neuropeptides and cytokine levels in the incision site tissue of the right paw were measured by ELISA after 1, 6 and 24 hours. It was possible to observe that, in this pain model, both lasers promoted analgesia and that the GL altered the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to describe the main concerns and controversies of ambulatory surgery in cancer patients while providing an overview of ambulatory cancer anaesthesia. RECENT FINDINGS Cancer patients can undergo a variety of ambulatory surgeries. The introduction of robotic approach and the implementation of enhanced recovery programmes have allowed patients to avoid hospital admissions after more complex or invasive surgeries. In this context, the anaesthesiologist plays a key role in ensuring that the ambulatory surgical centre or the hospital-based ambulatory department is equipped for the perioperative challenges of the cancer population. Cancer patients tend to be older and with more comorbidities than the general population. In addition, these individuals may suffer from chronic conditions solely because of the cancer itself, or the treatment. Consequently, frailty is not uncommon and should be screened on a routine basis. Regional analgesia plays a key role in the provision of opioid-sparing multimodal analgesia. SUMMARY Neither regional anaesthesia or general anaesthesia have proven to affect the long-term oncological outcomes of cancer patients undergoing ambulatory surgery. In addition, there is insufficient evidence to suggest the use of total intravenous anaesthesia or inhalational anaesthesia over the other to decrease cancer recurrence.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the postoperative analgesia effect of ultrasound-guided single popliteal sciatic nerve block for calcaneal fracture. Methods A total of 120 patients scheduled for unilateral open reduction and internal fixation of calcaneal fracture were enrolled in this prospective randomized study. Patients in group B received ultrasound-guided single popliteal sciatic nerve block after operation, but Patients in group A did not. All patients received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after operation. The time to initiation of PCIA, the time of first pressing the analgesia pump, duration of analgesia pump use and the total number of times the patient pressed the analgesia pump were recorded. The time of rescue analgesia and the adverse reactions were recorded. Pain magnitude of the patients immediately after discharge from operating room (T1), and at 4th (T2), 8th (T3), 12th (T4), 16th (T5), 24th (T6) and 48th (T7) h after the operation were assessed with visual analog scale (VAS). In addition, patient, surgeon and nurse satisfaction were recorded. Results The VAS scores at T2 ~ T5, the time of rescue analgesia and the adverse reactions, the total number of times the patient pressed the analgesia pump were significantly declined in group B (p < 0.001). The time to initiation of PCIA, the time of first pressing the analgesia pump, duration of analgesia pump use were prolonged and patient surgeon and nurse satisfaction were improved in group B (p < 0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound-guided single popliteal sciatic nerve block is an effective postoperative analgesia strategy for calcaneal fracture. Trial registration ChiCTR, ChiCTR2100042340.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES With the popularization of ultrasound, nerve blocks have been widely implemented in current clinical practice. Although, they have seen limited success due to their shorter duration and suboptimal analgesia. Magnesium sulfate as a local anesthetic adjuvant for peripheral nerve blocks could enhance the effects of local anesthetics. However, previous investigations have not thoroughly investigated the analgesic efficacy of magnesium sulfate as an adjunct to local anesthetics for peripheral nerve blocks. Thus, we attempted to fill the gap in the existing literature by conducting a meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed of a quantitative systematic review of randomized controlled trials published between May 30, 2011 and November 1, 2018. Inclusion criteria were: (1) magnesium sulfate used as adjuvant mixed with local anesthetic for nerve blockade, (2) complete articles and published abstracts of randomized controlled trials, (3) English language. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome measures were time of onset, total duration of the sensory blockade, and Visual Analog Scale pain scores. The secondary outcomes were postoperative oral and intravenous analgesics consumption and the incidence of nausea and vomiting. RESULTS The 21 trials analyzed in this study included 1323 patients. Magnesium sulfate effectively prolonged the total duration of sensory blockade (mean difference [MD]=114.59 min, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 89.31-139.88), reducing Visual Analog Scale pain scores at 6 hours (MD=1.36 points, 95% CI: -2.09 to -0.63) and 12 hours (MD=1.54 points, 95% CI: -2.56 to -0.53) postsurgery. Magnesium sulfate also effectively reduced postoperative analgesic use within 24 hours postsurgery (standard MD=-2.06, 95% CI: -2.67 to -1.35). Furthermore, adjuvant magnesium sulfate significantly reduced the incidence of nausea and vomiting after transversus abdominis plane blockade (odds ratio: 0.39, 95% CI: 0.18-0.81). CONCLUSION Adjuvant magnesium sulfate enhanced the anesthetic effects of local anesthetics and improved postoperative analgesia following the perineural blockade.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain is frequently encountered in the intensive care setting. Given the impact of pain assessment on patient outcomes and length of hospital stay, studies have been conducted to validate tools, establish guidelines and cast light on practices relating to pain assessment. OBJECTIVE To examine the extent, range and nature of the evidence around pain assessment practices in adult patients who cannot self-report pain in the intensive care setting and summarise the findings from a heterogenous body of evidence to aid in the planning and the conduct of future research and management of patient care. The specific patient cohort studied was the sedated/ ventilated patient within the intensive care setting. DESIGN A scoping review protocol utilised the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping review checklist (PRISMA-ScR). METHODS The review comprised of five phases: identifying the research question, identifying relevant studies, study selection, charting the data and collating, summarizing, and reporting the results. Databases were systematically searched from January to April 2020. Databases included were Scopus, Web of Science, Medline via Ovid, CINAHL COMPLETE via EBSCO host, Health Source and PUBMED. Limits were applied on dates (2000 to current), language (English), subject (human) and age (adult). Key words used were "pain", "assessment", "measurement", "tools", "instruments", "practices", "sedated", "ventilated", "adult". A hand search technique was used to search citations within articles. Database alerts were set to apprise the availability of research articles pertaining to pain assessment practices in the intensive care setting. RESULTS The review uncovered literature categorised under five general themes: behaviour pain assessment tools, pain assessment guidelines, position statements and quality improvement projects, enablers and barriers to pain assessment, and evidence appertaining to actual practices. Behaviour pain assessment tools are the benchmark for pain assessment of sedated and ventilated patients. The reliability and validity of physiologic parameters to assess pain is yet to be determined. Issues of compliance with pain assessment guidelines and tools exist and impact on practices. In some countries like Australia, there is a dearth of information regarding the prevalence and characteristics of patients receiving analgesia, type of analgesia used, pain assessment practices and the process of recording pain management. In general, pain assessment varies across different intensive care settings and lacks consistency. CONCLUSION Research on pain assessment practices requires further investigation to explore the causative mechanisms that contribute to poor compliance with established pain management guidelines. The protocol of this review was registered with Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/25a6) Tweetable abstract: Pain assessment in intensive care settings lacks consistency. New information is needed to understand the causative mechanisms underpinning poor compliance with guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acetaminophen is a frequently used adjunct analgesic in pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. We compared opioid administration following preoperative intravenous (IV) or oral acetaminophen in addition to a standard multimodal regimen to test the hypothesis that 1 loading dose approach would provide superior opioid sparing effects among pediatric surgical patients undergoing tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. METHODS This single-center, double-blind, double-dummy prospective randomized study was conducted in patients ages 3 to 15 years undergoing tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy with or without myringotomy and tube placement between September 2017 and July 2019. Subjects received 1 dose of either oral acetaminophen 30 mg/kg with IV placebo (oral group) or IV acetaminophen 15 mg/kg with oral placebo (IV group). Acetaminophen plasma levels were measured at 2 timepoints to evaluate safety and determine plasma levels attained by each dosing regimen. Intraoperative opioid administration and postoperative analgesia were standardized. Standardized postoperative multimodal analgesia included opioid if needed to control pain assessed by standardized validated pediatric pain scales. The primary outcome measure was total opioid administration in the first 24 hours after surgery. Continuous data were not normally distributed and were analyzed using the Wilcoxon rank sum test and the Hodges-Lehman estimator of the median difference. Clinical significance was defined as a 100 µg/kg IV morphine equivalents per day difference. RESULTS Sixty-six subjects were randomized into and completed the study (29 women, 37 men; age 5.9 ± 3.0 years; percentile weight for age 49.5 ± 30.2; no differences between groups). There was no opioid dose difference between oral (median 147.6; interquartile range [IQR], 119.6-193.0 µg/kg) and IV groups (median 125.4; IQR, 102.8-150.9 µg/kg; median difference 21.3; 95% confidence interval [CI] -2.5 to 44.2 µg/kg IV morphine equivalents; P = .13). No acetaminophen levels exceeded the predefined safety threshold (40 mg/L). No difference was found in the percentage of patients with severe pain: 50.0% oral group, 47.2% IV group; relative risk of severe pain in IV 0.94; 95% CI, 0.57-1.6; P = .82. Postoperative plasma acetaminophen levels were higher in oral (22; IQR, 16-28 mg/L) than IV (20; IQR, 17-22 mg/L) group (median difference 7.0; 4.0-8.0 mg/L; P = .0001). CONCLUSIONS Opioid-sparing effects did not differ following an oral or standard IV acetaminophen loading dose with no identified acetaminophen toxicity in pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy who received standardized multimodal postoperative analgesia. An oral loading dose may provide more consistent serum acetaminophen levels at lower cost compared to a standard IV dose.

Orthop J Sports Med 2021; 9:23259671211012406. [PMID: 34368377 PMCID: PMC8299889 DOI: 10.1177/23259671211012406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2021] [Accepted: 02/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Postoperative pain and analgesic use after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair remain important issues that affect rehabilitation and overall outcomes. Purpose: To evaluate the pre- and intraoperative factors that may cause prolonged duration of postoperative pain and analgesic use. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: We included 443 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and subacromial decompression. Visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain were obtained preoperatively and at 30 and 90 days postoperatively. Patients were divided into a group who had prolonged postoperative pain (duration ≥1 and <3 months; n = 86 patients) and a group with nonprolonged pain (duration <1 month; n = 357 patients). The following factors were compared between groups: age, sex, body mass index, repair technique, tear size, retraction amount, repair tension, tendon degeneration, preoperative pseudoparesis, symptom duration, application of microfracture to the rotator cuff footprint for marrow stimulation, smoking, degree of fatty degeneration, preoperative narcotic analgesic use, diabetes, acromioclavicular joint degeneration, and preoperative Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4) and American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) scores. Results: Significant differences were seen between the prolonged and nonprolonged groups regarding the median duration of pain (54 vs 27 days, respectively; P < .001) and analgesic use (42 vs 28 days, respectively; P < .001). Significant differences were noted between the groups for symptom duration (P = .007), smoking status (P = .001), degree of fatty degeneration (P = .009), preoperative narcotic analgesic use (P < .001), preoperative DN4 and ASES scores, 30-day VAS score (P < .001), duration of opioid and nonopioid analgesic use (P < .001), tear size (P = .026), and retraction stage (P = .032). Tear size (P = .009), retraction amount (P = .005), preoperative narcotic analgesic use (P < .001), degree of fatty degeneration (P < .001), and preoperative DN4 score (P = .024) were factors independently associated with prolonged postoperative pain and analgesic use. Conclusion: Patients with larger size tears, retracted tendons, preoperative use of narcotic analgesics, higher tensioned tendon after repair, and Goutallier grade 3 or 4 fatty degeneration faced an increased risk of prolonged postoperative pain and analgesic use after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. These factors might be mitigated by psychosocial support; gentle, controlled, and individualized postoperative rehabilitation approaches; detailed preoperative evaluation; and closer follow-up of patients who are treated operatively.

Comparison of three intraoperative analgesic strategies in laparoscopic bariatric surgery: a retrospective study of immediate postoperative outcomes. Braz J Anesthesiol 2021; 72:560-566. [PMID: 34216703 PMCID: PMC9515670 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjane.2021.06.006] [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: 10/07/2020] [Revised: 05/23/2021] [Accepted: 06/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction and objectives Multimodal Analgesia (MMA) has shown promising results in postoperative outcomes across a broad spectrum of surgeries, including bariatric surgery. We compared the analgesic effect immediately after Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery (LBS) of the combined effect of MMA and methadone against two techniques that were based mainly on the use of high-potency medium-acting opioids. Methods Two hundred seventy-one patients were retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcome was postoperative pain score > 3/10 measured by the Verbal Numeric Scale (VNS) during the Postanesthetic Care Unit (PACU) stay. The three protocols of intraoperative analgesia were: (P1) sufentanil at anesthetic induction followed by remifentanil infusion; (P2) sufentanil at induction followed by dexmedetomidine infusion; and (P3) remifentanil at induction followed by MMA including dexmedetomidine, magnesium, lidocaine, and methadone. Only P1 and P2 patients received morphine toward the end of surgery. Poisson regression was used to adjust confounding factors and calculate Prevalence Ratio (PR). Results Postoperative VNS > 3 was recorded in 135 (49.81%) patients, of which 93 (68.89%) were subjected to P1, 25 (18.56%) to P2, and 17 (12.59%) to P3. In the final adjusted model, both anesthetic techniques (P3) (PR = 0.10; 95% CI [0.03–0.28]), and (P2) (PR = 0.42%; 95% CI [0.20–0.90]) were associated with lower occurrence of VNS > 3, whereas age range 20–29 was associated to higher occurrence of VNS > 3 (PR = 3.21; 95% CI [1.22–8.44]) in PACU. Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) was distributed as follows: (P1) 20.3%, (P2) 31.25% and (P3) 6.77%; (P3 < P1, P2; p < 0.05). Intraoperative hypotension occurred more often in P3 (39%) compared to P2 (20.31%) and P1 (17.46%) (p < 0.05). Conclusion MMA + methadone was associated with higher incidence of intraoperative hypotension and lower incidence of moderate/severe pain in PACU after LBS.

Abstract
Background Post-anesthesia recovery is a continuous process which is considered to be complete after the patient returns to their preoperative physiological state. Although all patients who have had an operation under anesthesia are in a potentially unstable physiological state, most patients recover safely without significant problems due to better and immediate post-anesthesia care. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the staffing and service provision in the post-anesthesia care unit. Methods A multicenter, institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted in post-anesthesia care units from November 28 to December 31, 2020. The data were collected using a questionnaire prepared from standards and guidelines of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists, and the Royal College of Anesthetists by direct observation. Results Ten hospitals found in Amhara regional state were examined for their staffing of and service provision in their post-anesthesia care units. The total ratio of nurses assigned in post-anesthesia care units to post-anesthesia care unit beds was around 1:3, with a minimum and a maximum ratio of 1:8 and 1:2, respectively. The average number of patients admitted in post-anesthesia care units per week was 98. Eighty percent of the hospitals' post-anesthesia care units had no policy or caregivers for cardiac arrest management. Conclusions and Recommendations Standards, policies, and guidelines are not well prepared and posted so as to be visible to every caregiver. The majority of the hospitals have staff without special training for the management of possible complications in the post-anesthesia care unit. Generally, hospitals need to ensure standardized patient care in the post-anesthesia care unit for better and safer patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have evaluated the use of dexmedetomidine versus fentanyl as adjuvants to ropivacaine for epidural anaesthesia, yet the results are conflicting. We aimed to conduct this meta-analysis to assess the effects and safety of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl as adjuvants to ropivacaine for epidural anaesthesia. METHODS Cochrane Library et al databases were searched from inception to Jan 28, 2020. The synthesised effect sizes were presented as mean difference (MD) or odd of risk (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). RESULTS Nine RCTs with a total of 672 patients were included. The synthesised results indicated that the mean time to the onset of sensory block (MD: -2.82, 95% CI (-4.84, -0.80)), and the time to maximum motor block (MD: -4.35, 95% CI (-7.31, -1.40)) in dexmedetomidine group was significantly less than that of fentanyl group, while the mean time to rescue analgesia in dexmedetomidine group was significantly increased (MD: 99.13, 95% CI (82.89, 115.37)). The incidence of nausea and vomiting (OR: 0.43, 95% CI (0.29, 0.66)), and shivering (OR: 0.34, 95% CI (0.18, 0.63)) in dexmedetomidine group was significantly reduced, yet the incidence of oral dryness in dexmedetomidine group was significantly increased OR: 5.31, 95% CI (1.69, 16.69)). CONCLUSIONS Dexmedetomidine is better than fentanyl as adjuvant to ropivacaine for epidural anaesthesia with better effects and less adverse events.

Abstract
AIM Severe pain in the immediate postoperative period can negatively affect patients' quality of recovery, prolong hospital stay, and increase the risk of developing persistent pain. This study aimed to examine the predictors of severe postoperative pain in the immediate postoperative period among orthopedic trauma patients. METHODS A prospective observational study design was used. Data were collected from 153 patients that underwent orthopedic surgery procedures. Pain scores were assessed by a numeric pain scale at 45 min in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit. Physical health status was measured by the American Society of Anesthesiologists Status Classification System, and total dose of opioids (converted to morphine equivalents) and other demographic and clinical characteristics were recorded from medical records. RESULTS Preoperative smoking and physical health status were statistically significant predictors of severe postoperative pain in the immediate postoperative period. The odds of severe postoperative pain for smokers were 2.42 times the odds of nonsmokers. Patients with severe systemic disease showed 4.27 times lower odds of severe pain than more healthy patients. CONCLUSION Preoperative predictors of severe postoperative pain should be considered when assessing and treating orthopedic patients postoperatively to assure adequate pain relief.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postoperative pain (POP) are most commonly experienced in the early hours after surgery. Many studies have reported high rates of PONV and POP, and have identified factors that could predict the development of these complications. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between PONV and POP, and to identify some factors associated with these symptoms. METHODS This was a prospective, multicentre, observational study performed at An-Najah National University Hospital and Rafidia Governmental Hospital, the major surgical hospitals in northern Palestine, from October 2019 to February 2020. A data collection form, adapted from multiple previous studies, was used to evaluate factors associated with PONV and POP in patients undergoing elective surgery. Patients were interviewed during the first 24 h following surgery. Multiple binary logistic regression was applied to determine factors that were significantly associated with the occurrence of PONV. RESULTS Of the 211 patients included, nausea occurred in 43.1%, vomiting in 17.5%, and PONV in 45.5%. Multiple binary logistic regression analysis, using PONV as a dependent variable, showed that only patients with a history of PONV [odds ratio (OR) = 2.28; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.03-5.01; p = 0.041] and POP (OR = 2.41; 95% CI = 1.17-4.97; p = 0.018) were significantly associated with the occurrence of PONV. Most participants (74.4%) reported experiencing pain at some point during the first 24 h following surgery. Additionally, the type and duration of surgery were significantly associated with POP (p-values were 0.002 and 0.006, respectively). CONCLUSIONS PONV and POP are common complications in our surgical patients. Factors associated with PONV include a prior history of PONV and POP. Patients at risk should be identified, the proper formulation of PONV protocols should be considered, and appropriate management plans should be implemented to improve patients' outcomes.

Abstract
Objectives Administration of medications such as dexmedetomidine as a topical anesthetic has been suggested in the pain control in dentistry. This double-blind randomized control trial study evaluated postoperative pain and associated factors following impacted third molar extraction surgery. Lidocaine alone was taken as the control and lidocaine plus dexmedetomidine as the intervention. Materials and Methods Forty patients undergoing mandibular third molar extraction entered the study and were randomly allocated to the control and interventional groups. 0.15 ml of dexmedetomidine was added to each lidocaine cartridge and the drug concentration was adjusted to 15 μg for the intervention group while only lidocaine was used in the control group. A visual analog scale was used to measure and record pain levels at the end of the surgery and 6, 12, and 24 hours after the surgery and number of painkillers taken by the patients after the surgery was also recorded. Results Pain scores of the intervention group decreased significantly during the surgery and also 6, 12, and 24 hours after the surgery compared to the control group. The pain score was correlated significantly with our intervention during the surgery and also 6 and 12 hours after that (all P value < 0.05). There was a nonsignificant reduction in the number of painkillers taken by the patients at 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery (all P value > 0.05). Conclusion In patients undergoing molar surgery, administration of a combination of dexmedetomidine and lidocaine is beneficial for the pain control. Clinical Relevance. Compared to the injection of lidocaine alone, combination of dexmedetomidine and lidocaine can be used for a better pain control in molar surgeries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The risks of epidural analgesia (EA) differ depending on the population studied. We describe our experience with postoperative EA for oncologic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched our Acute Pain Medicine database for cases in which postoperative EA was used between 2003 and 2012. We used word search to identify and catalog cases of neurological changes, magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography of the spine, electromyography studies, and neurologist or neurosurgeon consultations. Medical records of patients with documented persistent neurological deficits and patients who had spine imaging or neurology consultations were reviewed further. In addition, we cross-checked medical records with billing diagnosis codes for spinal epidural abscess or hematoma. RESULTS We reviewed 18,895 cases in which postoperative EA was used. Complications included neurological symptoms in 2436 cases (12.9%), epidural insertion site abnormalities in 1062 cases (5.6%), complete epidural catheter migration in 829 cases (4.4%), epidural replacement in 619 cases (3.3%), and inadvertent dura puncture in 322 cases (1.7%). There were 6 cases of persistent deficits of uncertain etiology, 4 deep spinal infections (1:4724), and 2 cases of catheter tip shearing. No spinal epidural hematomas were identified (95% confidence interval, 0-0.0002). DISCUSSION Our findings provide a contemporary review of some risks associated with the use of postoperative EA for patients undergoing oncologic surgery. Despite a not-uncommon incidence of neurological changes, serious complications resulting in prolonged sequelae were rare.

Abstract
Background Identifying the optimal treatment in an acute postoperative setting remains a challenge. Multiple analgesic options are available, but comparing outcomes is limited by a lack of head-to-head trials. In addition, decisions based on efficacy only do not take drug safety into account. In such cases, multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) can be utilized to quantify and compare the efficacy and safety data of various drugs. Methodology The efficacy-safety profiles of eight parenteral, postoperative analgesics (acetaminophen, diclofenac, ketorolac, metamizole, morphine, nefopam, parecoxib, tramadol) widely used in Europe were evaluated using an MCDA model that included 17 criteria: three for efficacy and 14 for safety. Each drug was scored on each criterion on a scale from 0 (worst) to 100 (best), according to published data and the judgment of an expert panel. A weighting process was then applied to standardize the impact of each criterion and adjust drugs' preference scores accordingly, normalizing them on the 0-100 scale. Sensitivity analyses were also performed, including a model in which analgesic profiles were compared when opioid sparing effect was set at a zero value for all drugs. Results In the primary model, efficacy and safety had relative weightings of 64% and 36%, respectively. Efficacy and safety criteria with the highest values were pain relief (relative weight, 29%) and gastrointestinal effects (12%). Parecoxib received the highest overall score (93), followed by diclofenac (80), and ketorolac (75). Morphine scored the lowest (57), due to the lack of an opioid sparing effect. When opioid sparing was given a zero rating, parecoxib remained the highest scoring analgesic (93), followed by diclofenac (80), metamizole (76), and morphine (76). Parecoxib remained the most preferred analgesic in several other sensitivity analyses. Conclusion This MCDA-based assessment suggests that parecoxib has the most favorable efficacy-safety profile among the assessed postoperative analgesics.

Abstract
We have previously developed ammonium sulphate gradient loaded liposomes to encapsulate dibucaine. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the pre-clinical safety and effectiveness of this novel ionic liposomal formulation of dibucaine (DBC), as described in previous work. Effectiveness was evaluated in vivo on Wistar rats (n = 8) that received plain DBC or liposomal DBC (DBCLUV). Control empty liposomes (without DBC) or saline were also used as control. Sciatic nerve block was performed using the formulations or controls (0.4 mL). A hindpaw incision-based postoperative pain model was used to evaluate mechanical hypersensitivity with von Frey filaments. To verify antiinflamatory activity protein levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, substance P and CGRP were measured by ELISA in the hindpaw tissue after 1 and 6 hours of the incision. To corroborate drug safety, sciatic nerve Schwann cell cultures were treated with the aforementioned formulations and assessed for cell viability (MTT assay) and death (flow cytometry assay). Histopathology of the tissues surrounding the sciatic nerve region was also assessed 2 and 7 days after treatment. All animals presented post incisional hypersensitivity and DBCLUV showed longer analgesic effect (p < 0.001). DBCLUV reduced TNF-α and CGRP levels (p < 0.05). Histopathological evaluation showed greater inflammatory reaction after the administration of control liposomes when compared to DBC (p < 0.05). There was no difference in Schwann cell viability and death between plain and encapsulated DBC. DBCLUV was safe and enhanced anaesthesia duration due to slow release of dibucaine from ammonium sulphate gradient loaded liposomes.

Abstract
AbstractObjectiveTo investigate whether perioperative ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) combined with general anesthesia is more effective and safer than current analgesic techniques for postoperative analgesia after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).MethodsPubMed, the Cochrane Library, and EMBASE were searched for clinical trials published up to July 31, 2019. Outcomes, including operative duration, postoperative pain scores, postoperative analgesia use, patient satisfaction with analgesia, time to chest tube removal, length of stay, and adverse effects were analyzed.ResultsFour clinical trials, including 262 patients, met inclusion criteria. Ultrasound-guided SAPB reduced pain scores at zero, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes in the postoperative anesthesia care unit (all P < 0.05) and at one, two, six, 12, and 24 hours in the ward (all P < 0.001). Additionally, postoperatively, morphine consumption at 15 and 30 minutes, overall morphine consumption, and total consumption (morphine plus tramadol) were significantly lower in the SAPB cohort (P < 0.05). Similarly, postoperative tramadol consumption at one, two, six, 12, and 24 hours was also lower in this cohort (all P < 0.05). The postoperative consumption of fentanyl, tramadol, and total morphine in patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) at 24 hours was significantly reduced (P < 0.05). Moreover, SAPB provided better patient satisfaction with analgesia (P = 0.0038). However, no statistically significant difference was found in duration of operation, time to chest tube removal, length of stay, or side effects (all P > 0.05).ConclusionsPerioperative ultrasound-guided SAPB combined with general anesthesia provided more effective postoperative analgesia after VATS. However, no significant advantage was found regarding side effects.

Effect of evening primrose oil on postoperative pain after appendectomy: A double-blind, randomized, clinical trial. Biomedicine (Taipei) 2020; 10:28-32. [PMID: 33854910 PMCID: PMC7608840 DOI: 10.37796/2211-8039.1002] [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: 07/11/2019] [Accepted: 09/11/2019] [Indexed: 10/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and objective Despite advances in surgical techniques and pharmacology, postoperative pain remains a common problem after appendectomy, and its management continues to be suboptimal. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of evening primrose oil on the reduction of postoperative pain after appendectomy. Materials and methods In a double-blind, randomized, clinical trial, a total of 80 adults patients with acute appendicitis who were undergoing appendectomy at the Shahid Beheshti Emdad Hospital in Sabzevar, were included. Patients were randomly allocated into two equally sized groups (n = 40). In postoperative period and after recovering from the anesthesia, each of the intervention and control groups received one evening primrose (1000 mg) or placebo capsules every 30 min for 3 times, respectively. All patients in both groups were asked to rate the intensity of their pain on a 0-10 point Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and also McGill pain questionnaire, before and 1 h after the last administration of the drug, postoperatively. Results In patients who received evening primrose, both VAS and McGill pain intensity scores significantly decreased after intervention, when compared prior to initiation of the intervention (p < 0.0001). While in the control group, changes of pain intensity scores were not significantly different before and after the intervention (p > 0.05). Conclusion It seems that oral evening primrose can be used as a simple and safe potential adjunctive treatment for postoperative pain control after appendectomy.

Abstract
Post-operative knee pain management has become a challenge to provide early relief and pain-free postoperative care to the patient. The major objectives of post-operative analgesic treatment are to reduce opioid requirements, post-operative pain, and adverse events related to opioid intake. This narrative review aimed to document post-operative analgesia techniques after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The traditional approach involved high-dose opioid-based regimen, though opioid is considered strong analgesic, but are associated with a number of unwanted side effects to seek for alternative techniques. The role of sciatic nerve block in TKA pain is doubtful. Femoral Nerve Block (FNB) is still considered as the gold standard; however, FNB is associated with quadriceps weakness and risk of fall and sciatic block with foot drop. To overcome these drawback more distal nerve block techniques has evolved, namely saphenous nerve block in adductor canal, selective tibial which are claimed to provide comparable analgesia to that of femoral and sciatic nerve block. The combination of pre-emptive and multi-modal analgesia and technically well-delivered regional nerve blocks and postoperative physical therapy are an essential component which not only minimize the side effects of traditional opioid-based analgesia but also speed up functional recovery, increases patient satisfaction, and reduces the overall length of hospitalization and cost.

Abstract
The use of opioids in the perioperative period is associated with respiratory depression, impaired gastrointestinal function, post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV), pruritus, urinary retention, delirium and the potential for developing opioid addiction. Currently the United States is experiencing an epidemic of prescription opioid abuse and deaths from overdose. Many addicts develop their addiction during a routine surgical admission to hospital. More people now die from overdose of synthetic prescription opioids than from heroin and other street drugs. Public education campaigns teaching family members of addicts to reverse opioid induced respiratory depression with naloxone are currently underway. Preventing the development of addiction in the first place during and after the surgical admission however will be more successful at saving lives. Primary prevention of opioid addiction is possible when non-opioid analgesic drugs are used. Employing alternative analgesic drugs in the peri-operative period that have a lower addiction potential and less respiratory depression has therefore become a matter of great national importance. Many powerful non-opioid analgesics are currently available that have more favorable side effect profiles and a lower potential for developing addiction. However, these medications are currently not used as often in routine clinical practice as they should be. Replacing opioids with other analgesics will not only reduce the development of opioid addiction but will also lead to better perioperative outcomes and enhanced patient recovery. This article briefly reviews the opioid alternatives that can significantly reduce or even entirely eliminate the perioperative use of opioids in the majority of surgical procedures.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Objectiv:e to analyze the relationship of anxiety and depression in the preoperative period with the presence of pain in the postoperative period. Method: cohort study conducted at a university hospital in the state of Minas Gerais (Brazil), between february and July 2017, with 65 patients. A collection instrument was elaborated for the demographic and clinical characteristics. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess anxiety and depression; pain intensity was measured using the Verbal Numerical Scale. Data were submitted to descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Results: according to demographic and clinical characteristics, most patients were female, with a median age of 44 years and surgical specialty of the digestive tract. In the preoperative period, 31 (47.7%) had anxiety, and nine (13.8%), depression. None of the patients reported pain immediately prior to surgery. The incidence of moderate to severe postoperative pain was 32 (49.2%) patients. There was a statistically significant difference in the distribution of patients with postoperative pain in relation to the presence or absence of preoperative anxiety (p value <0.001). There is no statistically significant difference in the distribution of patients with postoperative pain in relation to the presence or absence of preoperative depression (0.733). In multivariate analysis, preoperative anxiety was a predictive factor for postoperative pain. Depression was not a predictive factor of postoperative pain. Conclusion: It was demonstrated that, regardless of the demographic and clinical characteristics of the studied sample, the presence of anxiety in patients in the preoperative period is a predictive factor of postoperative pain.

Abstract
A significant component of all surgical procedures and postoperative treatment is pain management.Due to the physiological and psychological advantages of pain relief, it is one of the foremost indicators of quality of care. Today, there are various modalities of pain reduction, aimed to reduce patient discomfort andminimize side effects, which can be divided by therapeutic agents used (opioid or non-opioid), route of administration (intravenous, regional, oral, etc.) and modality (controlled by patients or "as needed"). Although opioids have proven to be very effective pain relief agents and are commonly used in postoperative analgesia, concerns about their side effects have spurred the development of modified, multimodal treatments that seek to minimize opioid use and associated drawbacks. Enhanced recovery protocols that emphasize sparing administration of opioids are growing in importance, andresulting in reduced length of hospital stay after abdominal and lower limb surgery. To further improve such protocols and optimize postoperative care for individual patient needs, it is imperative to fully assess the efficacy of available drugs and analgesia modalities.
