Abstract
INTRODUCTION Effective pain and anxiety management during the perioperative phase remains a challenge for patients undergoing surgeries and other invasive procedures. The current standard of care involves prescribing analgesics to treat these conditions; however, there has been recent interest in applying multimodal strategies that limit the use of these medications. One such modality is meditation, which has been shown to be effective in alleviating various physical and psychological symptoms in other settings. This systematic review aims to assess how current meditative practices affect perioperative pain and anxiety. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of randomized controlled trials following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, APA PsycINFO, EBM Reviews, Scopus, and Web of Science for all available dates. Our primary outcomes of interest were patient-reported pain and anxiety scores using the Visual Analog Scale, the Brief Pain Inventory, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). For the HADS and STAI scales, only the anxiety and anxiety-state subgroups were reported, respectively. RESULTS The literature search yielded 1746 articles. A total of 286 full-text articles were screened, and 16 studies were included in this systematic review. A total of eight studies assessed pain scores after invasive procedures; five reported improvements in pain scores, and three reported no change after meditative practices. Ten studies assessed anxiety outcomes after invasive procedures: nine reported a decrease in overall anxiety levels as a result of meditation practices while one study reported no change in anxiety scores. CONCLUSION Data from this limited literature suggests that different meditation practices could be effective in alleviating pain and anxiety within the perioperative phase for patients undergoing various types of invasive procedures. Future prospective studies are needed to determine whether routine meditation in the perioperative setting is effective in mitigating perioperative pain and anxiety.

Abstract
PURPOSE This review synthesised the evidence for the effect of prehabilitation interventions on biopsychosocial and service outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic review was conducted. 10 databases were searched to December 2023. Prospective experimental studies exploring prehabilitation interventions in adults undergoing upper gastrointestinal surgery were included. Prehabilitation was any preoperative intervention to improve physical or psychological outcomes. Included studies required a comparator group or alternative preoperative intervention as well as baseline, presurgical and postoperative assessment points. Study quality was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool (v.2). Data synthesis was narrative (SWiM guidance). RESULTS 6028 studies were screened, with 25 studies included. Prehabilitation interventions were: inspiratory muscle training (five studies n = 450); exercise (nine studies n = 683); psychological (one study n = 400); and nutritional (ten studies n = 487). High quality studies showed preoperative improvements in impairments directly targeted by the interventions. Generally, these did not translate into functional or postoperative improvements, but multimodal interventions were more promising. CONCLUSION Current evidence supports prehabilitation as safe to preserve or improve preoperative function. Heterogeneity in outcomes and variable study quality means definitive conclusions regarding interventions are not yet possible, limiting implementation. Agreement of clinical outcomes and cost effectiveness evaluation is required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The preoperative period is an important target for interventions (eg Surgical Prehabilitation and Readiness [SPAR]) that can improve postoperative outcomes for older patients with comorbidities. STUDY DESIGN To determine whether a preoperative multidisciplinary prehabilitation program (SPAR) reduces postoperative 30-day mortality and the need for non-home discharge in high-risk surgical patients, surgical patients enrolled in a prehabilitation program targeting physical activity, pulmonary function, nutrition, and mindfulness were compared with historical control patients from 1 institution's American College of Surgeons (ACS) NSQIP database. SPAR patients were propensity score-matched 1:3 to pre-SPAR NSQIP patients, and their outcomes were compared. The ACS NSQIP Surgical Risk Calculator was used to compare observed-to-expected ratios for postoperative outcomes. RESULTS A total of 246 patients were enrolled in SPAR. A 6-month compliance audit revealed that overall patient adherence to the SPAR program was 89%. At the time of analysis, 118 SPAR patients underwent surgery with 30 days of follow-up. Compared with pre-SPAR NSQIP patients (n = 4,028), SPAR patients were significantly older with worse functional status and more comorbidities. Compared with propensity score-matched pre-SPAR NSQIP patients, SPAR patients had significantly decreased 30-day mortality (0% vs 4.1%, p = 0.036) and decreased need for discharge to postacute care facilities (6.5% vs 15.9%, p = 0.014). Similarly, SPAR patients exhibited decreased observed 30-day mortality (observed-to-expected ratio 0.41) and need for discharge to a facility (observed-to-expected ratio 0.56) compared with their expected outcomes using the ACS NSQIP Surgical Risk Calculator. CONCLUSIONS The SPAR program is safe and feasible and may reduce postoperative mortality and the need for discharge to postacute care facilities in high-risk surgical patients.

Preoperative Anxiety in Patients with Pancreatic Cancer: What Contributes to Anxiety Levels in Patients Waiting for Surgical Intervention. Healthcare (Basel) 2023; 11:2039.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies. Currently, the only treatment is surgical resection, which contributes to significant preoperative anxiety, reducing quality of life and worsening surgical outcomes. To date, no standard preventive or therapeutic methods have been established for preoperative anxiety in pancreatic patients. This observational study aims to identify which patients' socio-demographic, clinical and psychological characteristics contribute more to preoperative anxiety and to identify which are their preoperative concerns. Preoperative anxiety was assessed the day before surgery in 104 selected cancer patients undergoing similar pancreatic major surgery, by administering the STAI-S (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form) and the APAIS (Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale). Our data suggest that patients with high STAI-S showed higher levels of APAIS and that major concerns were related to surgical aspects. Among psychological characteristics, depressive symptoms and trait anxiety appeared as risk factors for the development of preoperative anxiety. Findings support the utility of planning a specific psychological screening to identify patients who need more help, with the aim of offering support and preventing the development of state anxiety and surgery worries in the preoperative phase. This highlights also the importance of good communication by the surgeon on specific aspects related to the operation.

Abstract
Background Prehabilitation has been demonstrated to positively impact postoperative recovery in patients undergoing selective cardiac surgery. However, the optimal modules included in prehabilitation programs are yet to be fully explored, as existing studies have primarily focused on exercise. This study will explore the effectiveness of a three-arm prehabilitation program among adult patients awaiting selective cardiac surgery. Methods and analysis A single-center, parallel-group randomized controlled trial will be conducted at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine (SAHZU). A total of 152 adult patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass grafting or valvular surgery) will be recruited from a tertiary teaching hospital. The patients will be randomly assigned to either the control group or the prehabilitation group. Patients assigned to the control group will receive standard care, which includes patient education and counseling as well as personal guidance on exercise, breathing, and coughing. Patients in the intervention group will be provided a multimodal prehabilitation program, including nutrition guidance, a diet journal, mindfulness training, and exercise guidance. The interventions will begin with home-based training and continue after hospital admission and before surgery. The primary outcome will be the perioperative 6-minute walk distance (6 MWD). The secondary outcomes will include preoperative readiness, postoperative recovery, and patient experience with the program. Discussion The purpose of the study is to examine whether a short-term multimodal prehabilitation program will be associated with improved preoperative readiness and postoperative outcomes. The findings of this study will provide evidence to support the development of a perioperative program aimed at enhancing patient recovery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore patients' experiences of pain treatment in the perioperative period after surgery for pancreatic cancer. DESIGN A qualitative descriptive design using semi-structured interviews. METHODS This study was a qualitative study based on 12 interviews. Participants were patients that had undergone surgery for pancreatic cancer. The interviews were conducted 1 to 2 days after the epidural was turned off, in a surgical department in Sweden. The interviews were analysed with qualitative content analysis. The Standard for Reporting Qualitative Research checklist was used for reporting the qualitative research study. FINDINGS The analysis of the transcribed interviews, generated one theme: Maintaining a sense of control in the perioperative phase, and two subthemes: (i) Sense of vulnerability and safety, and (ii) Sense of comfort and discomfort, were found. CONCLUSIONS The participants experienced comfort after pancreas surgery if they maintained a sense of control in the perioperative phase and when the epidural pain treatment provided pain relief without any side effects. The transition from epidural pain treatment to oral pain treatment with opioid tablets was experienced individually, from an almost unnoticed transition to the experience of severe pain, nausea, and fatigue. The sense of vulnerability and safety among the participants were affected by nursing care relationship and the environment on the ward.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common postoperative complication associated with multiple adverse consequences on patient outcomes and higher medical expenses. Preoperative anxiety has been suggested as a possible precipitating factor for the development of POD. As such, we aimed to explore the association between preoperative anxiety and POD in older surgical patients. METHODS Electronic databases including MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE (via Embase.com), Web of Science Core Collection, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL Complete; via EBSCOhost) and clinical trial registries were systematically searched to identify prospective studies examining preoperative anxiety as a risk factor for POD in older surgical patients. We used Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Cohort Studies to assess the quality of included studies. The association between preoperative anxiety and POD was summarized with odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using DerSimonian-Laird random-effects meta-analysis. RESULTS Eleven studies were included (1691 participants; mean age ranging between 63.1-82.3 years). Five studies used a theoretical definition for preoperative anxiety, with the Anxiety subscale of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-A) as the instrument being most often used. When using dichotomized measures and within the HADS-A subgroup analysis, preoperative anxiety was significantly associated with POD (OR = 2.17, 95%CI: 1.01-4.68, I2 = 54%, Tau2 = 0.4, n = 5; OR = 3.23, 95%CI: 1.70-6.13, I2 = 0, Tau2 = 0, n = 4; respectively). No association was observed when using continuous measurements (OR = 0.99, 95%CI: 0.93-1.05, I2 = 0, Tau2 = 0, n = 4), nor in the subgroup analysis of STAI-6 (six-item version of state scale of Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, OR = 1.07, 95%CI: 0.93-1.24, I2 = 0, Tau2 = 0, n = 2). We found the overall quality of included studies to be moderate to good. CONCLUSIONS An unclear association between preoperative anxiety and POD in older surgical patients was found in our study. Given the ambiguity in conceptualization and measurement instruments used for preoperative anxiety, more research is warranted in which a greater emphasis should be placed on how preoperative anxiety is operationalized and measured.

Abstract
An important field of anesthesiology but also of psychiatry and psychotherapy, is perioperative anxiety and especially the fear of death. In this review article the most important types of anxiety in the individual phases before, during and after surgery are presented and diagnostic aspects as well as risk factors are discussed. Benzodiazepines can classically be used therapeutically here, but in recent years the preoperative anxiety-reducing effects of e.g., supporting talks, acupuncture, aroma therapy, and relaxation methods have come more into focus, because benzodiazepines promote postoperative delirium, which significantly increases morbidity and mortality. Perioperative fear of death should, however, be given greater clinical and scientific attention in order not only to have a better understanding and preoperative care of patients, but also to reduce adverse consequences during surgery and afterwards.

Grocott B, Reynolds K, Logan G, Hebbard P, El-Gabalawy R. Breast cancer patient experiences of perioperative distress and anxiety: A qualitative study. Eur J Oncol Nurs 2023; 63:102299. [PMID: 36893576 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejon.2023.102299] [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: 09/27/2022] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/19/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Distress, often manifesting as anxiety, is common in breast cancer patients and becomes particularly elevated before surgery. This study investigated perspectives of those undergoing breast cancer surgery concerning what enhances and reduces distress and anxiety across the perioperative period (i.e., from diagnostic evaluation to recovery). METHODS The present study conducted qualitative semi-structured individual interviews with 15 adult breast cancer surgery patients within three months post-operation. Quantitative surveys provided background information (e.g., sociodemographics). Individual interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively. RESULTS Four main themes emerged from qualitative interviews: 1) "fighting an unknown" (sub-themes: uncertainty, health-related knowledge and experience); 2) "the cancer takes away the control" (sub-themes: "living at the whim of others", trusting care providers); 3) person at the centre of the patient (sub-themes: "managing life:" caregiving and work-related stressors, "everybody jumped in to help:" emotional and instrumental support); and 4) physical and emotional impacts of treatment (sub-themes: pain and impacted mobility, "losing a part of yourself"). Breast cancer patients' experiences of surgery-related distress and anxiety were contextualized by broader experiences of care. CONCLUSIONS Our findings illustrate the illness-specific experience of perioperative anxiety and distress in breast cancer patients and inform patient-centered care and intervention.

The impact of prehabilitation interventions on affective and functional outcomes for young to midlife adult cancer patients: A systematic review. Psychooncology 2022; 31:2050-2062. [PMID: 36073575 PMCID: PMC10092088 DOI: 10.1002/pon.6029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2022] [Revised: 08/25/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cancer remains one of the most enduring health crises of the modern world. Prehabilitation is a relatively new intervention aimed at preparing individuals for the stresses associated with treatment from diagnosis. Prehabilitation can include exercise, psychological and nutrition-based interventions. The present systematic review aimed to assess the efficacy of prehabilitation on affective and functional outcomes for young to midlife adult cancer patients (18-55 years). Outcomes of interest included prehabilitation programme composition, duration, mode of delivery and measures used to determine impact on affective and functional outcomes. METHODS The following databases were searched with controlled and free text vocabulary; Psychological Information database (PsychINFO), Culmunated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE) and Public MEDLINE (PubMed). Abstract and full-text screening was conducted with a secondary reviewer and final texts were subject to risk of bias analysis. RESULTS Thirteen texts were included at full-text. These included data of 797 prehabilitation participants (mean age 53 years) and a large representation of female participants (71% average). Evidence was found for the efficacy of psychological prehabilitation for anxiety reduction. Prehabilitation did not significantly affect health related quality of life. Findings moderately supported the therapeutic validity of exercise prehabilitation for functional outcomes, both in terms of clinical and experimental improvement with respect to the quality of evidence. Variation between all prehabilitation types was observed. There was insufficient evidence to support the efficacy of psychological prehabilitation on stress, distress or depression. CONCLUSION Implications for future research are highlighted and then discussed with respect to this young to midlife age group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This meta-analysis aimed to assess the impact of nursing interventions (e.g., educational and empathic interviewing, motor exercise, therapeutic play interventions) on the perioperative outcome of children with congenital heart disease (CHD). METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane, EBSCO, The Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan Fang Data and the VIP Chinese Journal Service platform from the date of database creation to August 2021. Our study adhered to the recommendations of the Cochrane Handbook and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. RevMan 5.4 and Stata 16.0 were used to complete the meta-analysis. RESULTS This meta-analysis showed that comprehensive nursing intervention reduced both the length of hospital stay (weighted mean difference [WMD] = -1.982, 95%CI [-2.329, -1.634], P < .001) and the related risk of post-operative complications [OR = 0.345, 95%CI (0.225, 0.528), P < .001]. In addition, nursing intervention increased parental satisfaction with the care provided [OR = 0.308, 95%CI (1.923, 6.863), P < .001]. Nursing interventions have also had a positive impact in reducing preoperative anxiety [WMD = -6.721, 95% CI (-7.194, -6.249), P < .001] and postoperative pain [WMD = -7.103, 95% CI (-7.103, -7.663), P < .001] in children. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis confirms the beneficial effects of comprehensive nursing interventions in terms of reduced complication rates and shorter hospital stays. The effectiveness of comprehensive nursing in reducing anxiety and pain levels was also demonstrated. The findings support the implementation of comprehensive care interventions in the perioperative period for children with CHD to improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of skin cancer is increasing globally, leading to a greater need for dermatologists to perform skin surgery. However, skin surgery can be a potentially stressful experience for patients due to the fear of a possible cancer diagnosis coupled with anxiety related to pain and cosmetic outcomes. AIM To examine whether there is any evidence to support the hypothesis that listening to music during dermatological surgery under local anaesthesia can help reduce patient anxiety. METHODS This systematic review considered all original research published until May 2020. Four relevant studies were identified, comprising a total of 381 patients (three randomized control trials and one case-control trial). RESULTS Two of the four studies showed a significant reduction in perioperative anxiety in patients who had listened to music during surgery. Both of the other studies showed no statistically significant difference between music and no music for patients, although one of these noted reduced anxiety in surgeons. CONCLUSION There is currently limited evidence to support the use of perioperative music in clinical practice to reduce anxiety in skin surgery. However, given the potential benefits and the likely limited costs of this simple intervention, we believe that further research on this topic is warranted.

Abstract
Introduction The stressful pre-operative period exerts a profound impact on psychological, physiological and immunological outcomes. Oncological surgeries, in particular, elicit significantly higher stress responses than most other surgeries. Managing these responses through psychological interventions may improve long-term outcomes. The purpose of the current research was to review studies that have explored pre-operative psychological interventions in cancer patients in order to map the types of current interventions and provide an initial assessment of whether these interventions improved psychological, physiological, and/or immunological indices as well as long-term cancer outcomes. Methods A systematic literature search for studies that included pre-operative psychological interventions in oncology patients was conducted, using the databases PubMed and Web of Science. Inclusion criteria included studies pertaining to oncological surgery in adults, study designs that included a clearly defined pre-operative psychological intervention and control group. Results We found 44 studies, each using one of the following interventions: psychoeducation, cognitive interventions, relaxation techniques, integrated approaches. All the studies reported improved immediate post-operative psychological, physiological, and/or immunological outcomes. Only a few studies addressed long-term cancer outcomes, and only one reported improved survival. Conclusions Research on pre-operative interventions with cancer patients is missing systematic methods. Studies provide varying results, which makes it difficult to compare them and reach reliable conclusions. There is considerable heterogeneity in the literature regarding the specific intervention used, the timing of intervention, the characteristics of the patients studied and the outcome measures. In order to improve research in this field, including the measurement of long-term outcomes, we suggest some steps that should be taken in further research.

Abstract
The spread of COVID-19 has overwhelmed medical facilities across the globe, with patients filling beds in both regular wards and in intensive care units. The repurposing of hospital facilities has resulted in a dramatic decrease in the capacity of hospitals—in terms of available beds, surgical facilities, and medical and nursing staff— to care for oncology patients. The Italian National Board of Bioethics provided precise and homogeneous guidelines for the allocation of the scarce resources available. In our experience, strictly following these general guidelines and not considering the clinical vocation of each single health care center did not allow us to resume usual activities but generated further confusion in resource allocation. To face the scarcity of available resources and guarantee our patients fair access to the health care system we created a surgical triage with four fundamental steps. We took into consideration “ well defined and widely accepted clinical prognostic factors ” as stated by the Italian Society of Anesthesia and Resuscitation. We were able to draw up a list of patients giving priority to those who theoretically should have a greater chance of overcoming their critical situation. The age criterion has also been used in the overall evaluation of different cure options in each case, but it has never been considered on its own or outside the other clinical parameters. Although not considered acceptable by many we had to forcefully adopt the criterion of comparison between patients to give priority to those most in need of immediate care.

Abstract
Indwelling catheter is a routine procedure in surgical patients. Studies have shown that prolonged indwelling urinary catheterization increases the risk of postoperative urinary tract infection. Although early removal of the urinary catheter after operation can reduce the risk of postoperative urinary symptoms and tract infections, it may lead to postoperative anesthetic dysuria. Therefore, this study investigates the urinary retention and related risk factors in patients after thoracoscopic lobectomy under general anesthesia. The clinical data of 214 patients who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of a tertiary class A cancer hospital in Beijing from July 2020 to April 2021 were collected. A risk prediction model was established by logistic regression analysis, and the prediction effect was determined using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The incidence of indwelling catheter after thoracoscopic lobectomy was 44.8% (96/214). Sex (OR = 21.102, 95% CI: 2.906-153.239, P=0.003), perception of shame (OR = 74.256, 95% CI: 6.171-893.475, P=0.001), age (OR = 1.095, 95% CI: 1.014-1.182, P=0.021), and bed rest time (OR = 1.598, 95% CI: 1.263-2.023, P < 0.021) were the factors influencing urinary retention after thoracoscopic lobectomy. This model can effectively predict the occurrence of postoperative urinary retention in patients with lung cancer and help medical staff to intervene effectively before the onset of urinary retention, which provides reference for preventive treatment and nursing intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traumatic injury frequently requires opioid analgesia to manage pain and avoid catastrophic complications. Risk screening for opioid misuse and the development of use disorder remains uninvestigated. METHODS Participants were Trauma/Orthopedic Surgical Services patients at a Level I Trauma Center who were English speaking, aged 18-75, received an opioids prescription at discharge, and were under control of their own medications at discharge. Baseline measures included validated self-report instruments for psychosocial factors, such as anxiety, depression, pain coping, and social support. Health record data included diagnosis codes, procedures, Injury Severity Score, and pain severity (0-10 scale). Opioid use disorder (by Clinical International Diagnostic Interview-Substance Abuse Module) or opioid misuse (Current Opioid Misuse Measure (COMM) and survey items) were assessed at 24 weeks post-discharge. RESULTS 295 patients enrolled with 237 completing the 24 week assessments. Stepwise regression modeling demonstrated pre-injury PTSD symptoms, Opioid Risk score, medication use behaviors, social support, and length of stay predicted opioid misuse. Pre-injury PTSD symptoms, pain coping, and length of stay predicted use disorder. The final regression models for opioid misuse by COMM, opioid misuse via survey items, and for opioid use disorder had highly favorable areas under the receiver operating curve (0.880, 0.790, and 0.943 respectively). CONCLUSIONS Pre-injury presence of PTSD-related symptoms, impaired pain coping, social support, and hospitalization > 6 days predicted opioid misuse and opioid addiction at 6 months after hospital discharge. Behavioral screening and management strategies appear warranted in the population of traumatic injury victims to reduce opioid-related risks.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the benefits and harms of pre-admission interventions (prehabilitation) on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing major elective surgery. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) (published or unpublished). We searched Medline, Embase, CENTRAL, DARE, HTA and NHS EED, The Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsychINFO and ISI Web of Science (June 2020). SETTING Secondary care. PARTICIPANTS Patients (≥18 years) undergoing major elective surgery (curative or palliative). INTERVENTIONS Any intervention administered in the preoperative period with the aim of improving postoperative outcomes. OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Primary outcomes were 30-day mortality, hospital length of stay (LoS) and postoperative complications. Secondary outcomes included LoS in intensive care unit or high dependency unit, perioperative morbidity, hospital readmission, postoperative pain, heath-related quality of life, outcomes specific to the intervention, intervention-specific adverse events and resource use. REVIEW METHODS Two authors independently extracted data from eligible RCTs and assessed risk of bias and the certainty of evidence using Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation. Random-effects meta-analyses were used to pool data across trials. RESULTS 178 RCTs including eight types of intervention were included. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT), immunonutrition and multimodal interventions reduced hospital LoS (mean difference vs usual care: -1.81 days, 95% CI -2.31 to -1.31; -2.11 days, 95% CI -3.07 to -1.15; -1.67 days, 95% CI -2.31 to -1.03, respectively). Immunonutrition reduced infective complications (risk ratio (RR) 0.64 95% CI 0.40 to 1.01) and IMT, and exercise reduced postoperative pulmonary complications (RR 0.55, 95% CI 0.38 to 0.80, and RR 0.54, 95% CI 0.39 to 0.75, respectively). Smoking cessation interventions reduced wound infections (RR 0.28, 95% CI 0.12 to 0.64). CONCLUSIONS Some prehabilitation interventions may reduce postoperative LoS and complications but the quality of the evidence was low. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42015019191.

The effect of prehabilitation on postoperative complications and postoperative hospital stay in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery a systematic review. HPB (Oxford) 2021; 23:1299-1310. [PMID: 34039535 DOI: 10.1016/j.hpb.2021.04.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2020] [Revised: 04/19/2021] [Accepted: 04/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing numbers of high-risk (older and/or frail) patients are undergoing hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery. Therefore, optimization of the patient's psychophysiological capacity by prehabilitation is rapidly gaining importance. The aim of this study was to collect all available evidence on prehabilitation in HPB surgery and determine its effects on postoperative complications and length of hospital stay. METHODS A systematic review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. The electronic databases MEDLINE, Web of Science, Embase, CENTRAL, clinicaltrials.gov, and the international clinical trials registry platform (ICTRP) were searched from inception to April 2020. Methodological quality of included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing risk of bias and the ROBINS-I tool. RESULTS Seven articles including a total of 1377 patients were included in the quality analysis. A trend towards less complications and a shorter hospital stay was seen in the prehabilitation group, but current evidence fails to demonstrate a statistically significant difference between groups. Risk of bias in included studies was variable, and was generally scored as moderate. CONCLUSION Strong evidence for the beneficial effect of prehabilitation on clinical outcomes in HPB surgery is lacking. A trend towards less complications and shorter hospital stay was seen in the prehabilitation group.

Preoperative Predictors of Postoperative Ileus After Colorectal Surgery in an Enhanced Recovery Protocol. J Gastrointest Surg 2021; 25:2065-2075. [PMID: 33205308 PMCID: PMC8126638 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-020-04876-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2020] [Accepted: 11/10/2020] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative ileus occurs in up to 30% of colorectal surgery patients and is associated with increased length of stay, costs, and morbidity. While Enhanced Recovery Protocols seek to accelerate postoperative recovery, data on modifiable preoperative factors associated with postoperative ileus in this setting are limited. We aimed to identify preoperative predictors of postoperative ileus following colorectal surgery in Enhanced Recovery Protocols, to determine new intervention targets. METHODS We performed a retrospective single-center cohort study of patients ≥ 18 years old who underwent colorectal surgery via Enhanced Recovery Protocols (7/2015-7/2017). Postoperative ileus was defined as nasogastric tube insertion postoperatively or nil-per-os by postoperative day 4. Preoperative risk factors including comorbidities and medication use were identified using multivariable stepwise logistic regression. RESULTS Of 530 patients, 14.9% developed postoperative ileus. On univariate analysis of perioperative and postoperative factors, postoperative ileus patients had increased psychiatric illness, antidepressant and antipsychotic use, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, ileostomy creation, postoperative opioid use, complications, surgery duration, and length of stay (p < 0.05). Multivariable logistic regression model for preoperative factors identified psychiatric illness, preoperative antipsychotic use, and American Society of Anesthesiologists classification ≥ 3 as significant predictors of postoperative ileus (p < 0.05). DISCUSSION Postoperative ileus remains a common complication following colorectal surgery under Enhanced Recovery Protocols. Patients with pre-existing psychiatric comorbidities and preoperative antipsychotic use may be a previously overlooked cohort at increased risk for postoperative ileus. Additional research and preoperative interventions within Enhanced Recovery Protocols to reduce postoperative ileus for this higher-risk population are needed.

Abstract
Pain is the main symptom of pancreatic cancer (pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, PDAC). Pain in pancreatic cancer may be visceral, somatic or neuropathic in origin. Pain is produced by tissue damage, inflammation, ductal obstruction and infiltration. Visceral nociceptive signals caused by damage to the upper abdominal viscera are carried along sympathetic fibers, which travel to the celiac plexus nerves and ganglia, which are found at the T12-L2 vertebral levels, anterolateral to the aorta near the celiac trunk. From here, the signals are transmitted through the splanchnic nerves to the T5-T12 dorsal root ganglia and then on to the higher centers of the central nervous system. Somatic and neuropathic pain may arise from tumor extension into the surrounding peritoneum, retroperitoneum and bones and, in the latter case, into the nerves, such as the lumbosacral plexus. It should also be noted that other types of pain might arise because of therapeutic interventions, such as post-chemoradiation syndromes, which cause mucositis and enteritis. Management with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents and narcotics was the mainstay of therapy. In recent years, celiac plexus blocks and neurolysis, as well as intrathecal therapies have been used to control severe pain, at times resulting in a decreased need for drugs, avoiding their unwanted side effects. Pain may impair the patient’s quality of life, negatively affecting patient outcome and resulting in increased psychological stress. Even after recognizing the negative effect of cancer pain on patient overall health, studies have shown that cancer pain is still undertreated. This review focuses on neuropathic pain, which is difficult to handle; thus, the most recent literature was reviewed in order to diagnose neuropathic pain and its management.

Effectiveness of nursing interventions for preoperative anxiety in adults: A systematic review with meta-analysis. J Adv Nurs 2021; 77:3274-3285. [PMID: 33755246 DOI: 10.1111/jan.14827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2020] [Revised: 01/27/2021] [Accepted: 02/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
AIMS The aim of this review and meta-analysis is to analyse the effectiveness of nursing interventions for the management of preoperative anxiety in adults. BACKGROUND The perioperative process is a stressful situation for many people who are going to be operated and it can generate feelings of anxiety. Also, preoperative anxiety can appear in the perioperative period. Nursing management of preoperative anxiety through individualized interventions can be effective for reducing anxiety. DESIGN A systematic review with meta-analysis was performed. DATA SOURCES CINAHL, CUIDEN, Pubmed, ProQuest and Scopus databases were consulted without restriction per year of publication. The search was conducted in February 2020. REVIEW METHODS Experimental studies on nursing management in preoperative anxiety with adults sample (>18 years) published in English and/or Spanish were included. All types of surgery were included in the review. A random effects meta-analysis was performed to estimate the effect size for preoperative anxiety measured with STAI. RESULTS After the selection process n = 9 quantitative studies with nursing interventions for preoperative anxiety were included. A preoperative educational and informative interview was used in six studies, one study used empathic interview, one used motivational interview and one used hand massage. The meta-analysis, including four studies using nursing interviews, had a sample of n = 419 in the intervention group and n = 445 in the control group. The mean difference in preoperative state anxiety measured with the STAI was in favour of the nursing intervention. CONCLUSION Nursing interventions for patients who are going to be operated seems to have a positive impact in their preoperative anxiety. However, due to the low number of studies and the heterogeneity of the sample, more research is needed about the topic.

Prevalence of depression in a cohort of 400 patients with pancreatic neoplasm attending day hospital for major surgery: Role on depression of psychosocial functioning and clinical factors. Psychooncology 2020; 30:455-462. [PMID: 33247996 DOI: 10.1002/pon.5607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2020] [Revised: 11/07/2020] [Accepted: 11/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE (1) To determine the prevalence and type of depressive symptoms at day-hospital clinical evaluation, before undergoing major surgery in patients diagnosed with pancreatic neoplasm. (2) To analyze the association between depression and sociodemographic, clinical, and psychosocial variables. (3) To understand how coping strategies, perceived social support, and self-efficacy might affect depressive symptoms in this cohort of patients. METHODS Secondary data analysis collected during the baseline phase of a randomized controlled trial performed at the Pancreas Institute of the University Hospital of Verona, Italy, between June 2017 and June 2018. RESULTS 18.5% of pancreatic patients had a PHQ-9 score ≥10 (cut-off). Depressed patients were basically more often female (p = 0.07), younger (p = 0.06), and married/with a partner (p = 0.02). Depression was associated to high trait anxiety (p < 0.01), the use of anxiolytics (p < 0.01), sleep-inducing drugs (p < 0.01), and painkillers (p < 0.01). Among psychosocial variables, depressed patients showed lower perceived self-efficacy (p < 0.01) and family and friends' social support (p < 0.01) and used significantly more often dysfunctional coping strategies (p < 0.01), compared to nondepressed. A logistic multivariate model using psychosocial variables as explanatory and depression as dependent was calculated and post hoc analyses were conducted to describe the contribution of each psychosocial variable on depression. CONCLUSIONS Our study advocates the need for screening for distress and depression in cancer surgery units and recommends to strengthen patients' adaptive coping, social support, and sense of effectiveness in facing the challenges related to the medical condition and treatment process.
