Lee B, Jang J, Lim JR, Kim EJ, Kim D, Chun YM, Choi YS. Continuous Superior Trunk Block versus Single-Shot Superior Trunk Block with Intravenous Dexmedetomidine for Postoperative Analgesia in Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial. J Clin Med 2024; 13:1845. [PMID: 38610610 PMCID: PMC11012364 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13071845] [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: 02/13/2024] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/Objectives: Intravenous dexmedetomidine (DEX) can increase the analgesia duration of peripheral nerve block; however, its effect in combination with superior trunk block (STB) remains unclear. We examined whether combining single-shot STB (SSTB) with intravenous DEX would provide noninferior postoperative analgesia comparable to that provided by continuous STB (CSTB). Methods: Ninety-two patients scheduled for elective arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were enrolled in this prospective randomized trial. Patients were randomly assigned to the CSTB or SSTB + DEX group. Postoperatively, each CSTB group patient received 15 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine and a continuous 0.2% ropivacaine infusion. Each SSTB group patient received a 15 mL postoperative bolus injection of 0.5% ropivacaine. DEX was administered at 2 mcg/kg for 30 min post anesthesia, then maintained at 0.5 mcg/kg/h till surgery ended. Pain scores were investigated every 12 h for 48 h post operation, with evaluation of rebound pain incidence and opioid consumption. Results: The SSTB + DEX group had significantly higher median pain scores at 12 h post operation (resting pain, 8.0 vs. 3.0; movement pain, 8.0 vs. 5.0) and a higher incidence of rebound pain (56% vs. 20%) than the CSTB group. However, no significant between-group differences were observed in pain scores postoperatively at 24, 36, or 48 h. The CSTB group required less opioids and fewer rescue analgesics within 12-24 h post operation than the SSTB + DEX group. Conclusions: Compared with CSTB, SSTB + DEX required additional adjuvant or multimodal analgesics to reduce the risk and intensity of postoperative rebound pain in patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

[PMID: 38191333 PMCID: PMC10773123 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-024-02402-2] [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: 09/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Regional anesthesia with ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block is widely used for patients undergoing shoulder and upper limb surgery, but needle misplacement can result in complications. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for segmentation of the brachial plexus at the interscalene level. METHODS This prospective study included patients who underwent ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block in the Anesthesiology Department of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital between October 2019 and June 2022. A Unet semantic segmentation model was developed to train the CNN to identify the brachial plexus features in the ultrasound images. The degree of overlap between the predicted segmentation and ground truth segmentation (manually drawn by experienced clinicians) was evaluated by calculation of the Dice index and Jaccard index. RESULTS The final analysis included 502 images from 127 patients aged 41 ± 14 years-old (72 men, 56.7%). The mean Dice index was 0.748 ± 0.190, which was extremely close to the threshold level of 0.75 for good overlap between the predicted and ground truth segregations. The Jaccard index was 0.630 ± 0.213, which exceeded the threshold value of 0.5 for a good overlap. CONCLUSION The CNN performed well at segregating the brachial plexus at the interscalene level. Further development could allow the CNN to be used to facilitate real-time identification of the brachial plexus during interscalene block administration. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was registered prior to patient enrollment at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200055591), the site url is https://www.chictr.org.cn/ . The date of trial registration and patient enrollment is 14/01/2022.

Abstract
Historically, opioids have been used as a primary conservative treatment for pain related to glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA). However, this practice is concerning as it often leads to overuse, which has contributed to the current epidemic of addiction and overdoses in the United States. Studies have shown that preoperative opioid use is associated with higher complication rates and worse outcomes following surgery, particularly for shoulder arthroplasty. To address these concerns, perioperative pain management for shoulder arthroplasty has evolved over the years to the use of multimodal analgesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain control is essential to successful total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). MATERIALS AND METHODS This non-blinded, randomized clinical trial compared shoulder pain, narcotic use, interscalene (IS) block application time, and costs in 76 subjects who were randomly assigned to receive either a single injection IS nerve block of 10 cc (133 mg) liposomal bupivacaine mixed with 10 cc of 0.5% bupivacaine (Group 1), or 20 cc of 0.5% ropivacaine direct injection combined with an indwelling IS nerve block catheter delivering 0.2% ropivacaine at a continual 4 cc/h infusion for the initial 3 post-operative days (Group 2). Surgical time, local anesthesia duration, hospital stay length, morphine milligram equivalents (MME) consumed, worst shoulder pain at 24, 48 and 72 h, and complications were recorded. Patient reported function, pain and activity level surveys were completed before, and 6-week post-TSA (P < 0.05). RESULTS Group 1 had less pain 24-h (0.72 ± 0.8 vs. 3.4 ± 2.9, p < 0.0001) and 48-h (2.5 ± 2.2 vs. 4.8 ± 2.6, p = 0.005) post-TSA. At 24-h post-TSA, MME consumption was similar (Group 1 = 4.5 ± 6.4 vs. Group 2 = 3.7 ± 3.8, p = 0.54), but was lower for Group 1 at 48 h (0.0 ± 0.0 vs. 0.64 ± 0.99, p = 0.001). Group 2 had longer IS block application time (10.00 ± 4.6 min vs. 4.84 ± 2.7 min, p < 0.0001). Only group 2 had a strong relationship between MME consumption over the first 24-h post-TSA and pain 24-h post-TSA (r = 0.76, p < 0.0001), a moderate relationship with pain 48-h post-TSA (r = 0.59, P = 0.001), and a weak relationship with pain 72-h post-TSA (r = 0.44, P = 0.02). Significant relationships for these variables were not observed for Group 1 (r ≤ 0.30, p ≥ 0.23). Group 1 IS block costs were less/patient than Group 2 ($190.17 vs. $357.12 USD). CONCLUSION A single shot, liposomal bupivacaine interscalene nerve block provided better post-TSA pain control with less narcotic consumption, less time for administration and less healthcare system cost compared to interscalene nerve block using a continuous indwelling catheter.

Kim YS, Park Y, Koh HJ. Is There a Difference between Perineural Dexamethasone with Single-Shot Interscalene Block (SSIB) and Interscalene Indwelling Catheter Analgesia (IICA) for Early Pain after Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair? A Pilot Study. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11123409. [PMID: 35743486 PMCID: PMC9224652 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11123409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2022] [Revised: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Interscalene block is applied to control acute postoperative pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR), typically with single-shot interscalene block (SSIB) or continuous interscalene indwelling catheter analgesia (IICA), and dexamethasone (Dex) for extending the analgesic effect. This study investigated whether perineural Dex can extend the postoperative analgesic effect of SSIB to match that of IICA. A total of 130 patients were recruited and divided into two groups (Group D, SSIB with perineural Dex, n = 94; Group C, IICA, n = 36). The surgical and anesthetic processes were identical except for the method of nerve block. Pain was measured by a visual analog scale (VAS) at 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after ARCR. The number of each and the total analgesics used and adverse effects were compared. The duration of ARCR was longer in group D. The VAS score was higher in group C 6 h after ARCR, but there was no difference at other time points. More postoperative analgesics were administered to group C, and there was no difference in the number of adverse effects. In conclusion, combining perineural Dex with SSIB can reduce rebound hyperalgesia after 6 h and extend the duration of the analgesic effect to that of IICA. Therefore, IICA could be substituted with SSIB and Dex between at 6 and 48 h after ARCR.

Abstract
Improving management of postoperative pain following shoulder surgery is vital for optimizing patient outcomes, length of stay, and decreasing addiction to narcotic medications. Multimodal analgesia (ie, controlling pain via multiple different analgesic methods with differing mechanisms) is an ever-evolving approach to enhancing pain control perioperatively after shoulder surgery. With a variety of options for the shoulder surgeon to turn to, this article succinctly reviews the pros and cons of each approach and proposes a potential pain management algorithm.
