Dexmedetomidine inhibited arrhythmia susceptibility to adrenergic stress in RyR2 R2474S mice through regulating the coupling of membrane potential and intracellular calcium. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2024; 720:150105. [PMID: 38754163 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2024.150105] [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: 05/05/2024] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dexmedetomidine (DEX), a highly selective α2-adrenoceptor agonist, can decrease the incidence of arrhythmias, such as catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). However, the underlying mechanisms by which DEX affects cardiac electrophysiological function remain unclear. METHODS Ryanodine receptor (RyR2) heterozygous R2474S mice were used as a model for CPVT. WT and RyR2R2474S/+ mice were treated with isoproterenol (ISO) and DEX, and electrocardiograms were continuously monitored during both in vivo and ex vivo experiments. Dual-dye optical mapping was used to explore the anti-arrhythmic mechanism of DEX. RESULTS DEX significantly reduced the occurrence and duration of ISO-induced of VT/VF in RyR2R2474S/+ mice in vivo and ex vivo. DEX remarkably prolonged action potential duration (APD80) and calcium transient duration (CaTD80) in both RyR2R2474S/+ and WT hearts, whereas it reduced APD heterogeneity and CaT alternans in RyR2R2474S/+ hearts. DEX inhibited ectopy and reentry formation, and stabilized voltage-calcium latency. CONCLUSION DEX exhibited an antiarrhythmic effect through stabilizing membrane voltage and intracellular Ca2+. DEX can be used as a beneficial perioperative anesthetic for patients with CPVT or other tachy-arrhythmias.

Efficacy and Safety of Magnesium Sulfate as an Adjunct to Ropivacaine Wound Infiltration in Thyroid Surgery: A Prospective, Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial. J Clin Med 2024; 13:4499. [PMID: 39124765 PMCID: PMC11313512 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13154499] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2024] [Revised: 07/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/27/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/Objective: Wound infiltration with local anesthetics emerges as a promising modality for postoperative pain alleviation. However, such strategies in neck surgery have not been a well-established practice. To assess wound infiltration with ropivacaine plus magnesium sulfate for pain relief following thyroid surgery. Methods: This prospective, double-blind, randomized study enrolled 68 patients who underwent thyroid surgery. Concerning the solution used for surgical wound infiltration, the study participants were randomly allocated into three groups: (1) 100 mg of ropivacaine (Group R); (2) 100 mg of ropivacaine plus magnesium sulfate 10 mg/kg (Group RMg); and (3) normal saline which served as a placebo (Group P). Pain perception both at rest and at movement, was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at 30 min, as well as at 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 h postoperatively. The total consumption of analgesics in morphine equivalents was also recorded. Moreover, adverse effects and patient satisfaction were recorded. Cortisol, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels were measured 30 min before infiltration and 6 h and 24 h postoperatively. Results: Demographics and clinical characteristics were similar between the groups. The VAS scores at rest and during movement were significantly lower in the RMg group compared to the saline or ropivacaine groups. Total analgesic consumption was also significantly lower in the RMg group. No operation-, wound-, or infiltration-related adverse effects were recorded in the study groups. Better overall satisfaction was obtained for the RMg group. Conclusions: Ropivacaine plus magnesium sulfate wound infiltration provided better pain control and the analgesic effect was more significant, contributing to effective postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing thyroid surgery.

Spine J 2024; 24:1416-1423. [PMID: 38615931 DOI: 10.1016/j.spinee.2024.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2023] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Postoperative pain control following spine surgery can be difficult. The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs use multimodal approaches to manage postoperative pain. While an erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is commonly utilized, the ideal distance for injection from the incision, referred to as the ES (ESPB to mid-surgical level) distance, remains undetermined. PURPOSE We evaluated the impact of varying ES distances for ESPB on Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) measures of postoperative pain within the ERAS protocol. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING Retrospective observational study. PATIENT SAMPLE Adult patients who underwent elective lumbar spine fusion surgery. OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcome measures include the comparative postoperative NRS scores across groups at immediate (T1), 24 (T2), 48 (T3), and 72 (T4) hours postsurgery. For secondary outcomes, a propensity matching analysis compared these outcomes between the ERAS and non-ERAS groups, with opioid-related recovery metrics also assessed. METHODS All included patients were assigned to one of three ERAS groups according to the ES distance: Group 1 (G1, ES > 3 segments), Group 2 (G2, ES = 2-3 segments), and Group 3 (G3, ES<2 segments). Each patient underwent a bilateral ultrasound-guided ESPB with 60 mL of diluted ropivacaine or bupivacaine. RESULTS Patients within the ERAS cohort reported mild pain (NRS < 3), with no significant NRS variation across G1 to G3 at any time. Sixty-five patients were matched across ERAS and non-ERAS groups. The ERAS group exhibited significantly lower NRS scores from T1 to T3 than the non-ERAS group. Total morphine consumption during hospitalization was 26.7 mg for ERAS and 41.5 mg for non-ERAS patients. The ERAS group resumed water and food intake sooner and had less postoperative nausea and vomiting. CONCLUSIONS ESPBs can be effectively administered at or near the mid-surgical level to the low thoracic region for lumbar spine surgeries. Given challenges with sonovisualization, a lumbar ESPB may be preferred to minimize the risk of inadvertent pleural injury.

Abstract
Surgical resection is the key treatment for colorectal cancer, but the extent of surgical trauma has been implied as a key factor for the oncologic outcome. The immune stress response to surgical trauma generates a cascade of immunological events implying neutrophils' perioperative change generating NETosis, N killer decrease, and platelets' activation that may influence postoperative surgical outcome, tumor cell growth, and future oncogenesis. The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between intraoperative oxygen consumption (VO2) and the dynamic variation of neutrophils, lymphocytes, and platelets in the perioperative period to identify an intraoperative tool that could predict the postoperative immune response. Twenty-six colorectal oncological surgical patients were enrolled in an observational, prospective, monocentric study, over 18 months. Serum neutrophils, lymphocytes, and thrombocytes values were collected in the preoperative period and on the third postoperative day, oxygen consumption was measured and recorded every 15 min during surgery using indirect calorimetry. We compared oxygen consumption measurements registered 30 min after induction of anesthesia (VO2a) and the first value registered after abdominal wall closure (VO2b) to perioperative variation of absolute neutrophils (VNC), lymphocytes (VLC), and platelets (VPC) count. Our results proved a significant correlation between VO2 variation and neutrophils' perioperative dynamic assessed by VNC (correlation coefficient = 0.547, p < 0.01, 95% confidence interval (CI) =0.175, 0.783). We also noticed a correlation between VPC and VO2 (correlation coefficient = -0.603, p < 0.01, 95% CI = -0.815, -0.248). No correlation could be shown between VO2 and VLC variation (p = 0.39). In conclusion, intraoperative VO2 variation measured by indirect calorimetry correlates well with perioperative neutrophils and platelets count dynamic variations and can be used as an early prognosis marker of postoperative immune response and surgical outcome in colorectal oncological surgery.

Age-related changes in intraoperative mean values of nociceptive response in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia: A retrospective cohort study. J Clin Monit Comput 2024; 38:581-589.

Abstract
Intraoperative nociception is affected by preoperative factors, surgical invasiveness, and anesthesia. Although age-related changes in nociception in conscious humans have been well examined, those in intraoperative nociception in unconscious patients under general anesthesia are unknown. To clarify associations between age and intraoperative nociception under general anesthesia, we performed a retrospective cohort study in consecutive patients of all ages undergoing non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia from January 2019 to July 2023. The intraoperative nociception value in each surgery was assessed by the averaged value of nociceptive response (mean NR) index during surgery. Patient characteristics, including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), emergent surgery, preoperative serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level, and comorbidities were also collected. After excluding patients with missing data of CRP and mean NR index, 22,061 patients were enrolled, and were divided into low, intermediate, and high surgical risk groups. Multivariable regression analysis showed a significant association between age and mean NR index in all three surgical procedure risk groups. The preoperative variables of CRP levels, BMI, emergent surgery, atrial fibrillation, renal failure, and long-term steroid use also showed significant associations with mean NR index in all three groups. Sensitivity analysis showed that intraoperative mean NR index was higher in younger children than that in both older children and younger adults, and it gradually increased again in older adults to the same level as in younger children. In conclusion, there is likely an association between age and intraoperative mean NR index in patients under general anesthesia.

Abstract
The human physiological response "to stress" includes all metabolic and hormonal changes produced by a traumatic event at the micro or macro cellular levels. The main goal of the body's first response to trauma is to keep physiological homeostasis. The perioperative non-specific adaptation response can sometimes be detrimental and can produce systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), characterized by hypermetabolism and hyper catabolism. We performed a narrative review consisting of a description of the surgical stress response's categories of changes (neurohormonal and immunological response) followed by reviewing methods found in published studies to modulate the surgical stress response perioperatively. We described various preoperative measures cited in the literature as lowering the burden of surgical trauma. This article revises the anesthetic drugs and techniques that have an impact on the surgical stress response and proven immune-modulatory effects. We also tried to name present knowledge gaps requiring future research. Our review concludes that proper preoperative measures, adequate general anesthetics, multimodal analgesia, early postoperative mobilization, and early enteral nutrition can decrease the stress response to surgery and ease patient recovery. Anesthetics and analgesics used during the perioperative period may modulate the innate and adaptive immune system and inflammatory system, with a consecutive impact on cancer recurrence and long-term outcomes.

[PMID: 38792307 PMCID: PMC11121931 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13102765] [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: 02/17/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Over the last two decades, the invasiveness of thoracic surgery has decreased along with technological advances and better diagnostic tools, whereas the patient's comorbidities and frailty patterns have increased, as well as the number of early cancer stages that could benefit from curative resection. Poor aerobic fitness, nutritional defects, sarcopenia and "toxic" behaviors such as sedentary behavior, smoking and alcohol consumption are modifiable risk factors for major postoperative complications. The process of enhancing patients' physiological reserve in anticipation for surgery is referred to as prehabilitation. Components of prehabilitation programs include optimization of medical treatment, prescription of structured exercise program, correction of nutritional deficits and patient's education to adopt healthier behaviors. All patients may benefit from prehabilitation, which is part of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs. Faster functional recovery is expected in low-risk patients, whereas better clinical outcome and shorter hospital stay have been demonstrated in higher risk and physically unfit patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical stress response in colorectal surgery consists of a neurohormonal and an immunological response and influences oncological outcomes. The intensity of surgical trauma influences mortality, morbidity, and metastasis' occurrence in colorectal neoplasia. Energy expenditure (EE) stands for the body's energy consumed to keep its homeostasis and can be either calculated or measured by direct or indirect calorimetry. AIM The present study attempted to evaluate surgical stress response using EE measurement and compare it to the postoperative cortisol dynamic. METHODS A prospective, monocentric study was conducted over a period of one year in the Anesthesiology Department including 21 patients from whom serum cortisol values were collected in the preoperative period and on the first postoperative day, and EE was measured and recorded every 15 minutes throughout surgery using the indirect calorimetry method. The study compared EE values' dynamic registered 30 minutes after intubation and 30 minutes before extubating (after abdominal closure) to cortisol perioperative dynamic. RESULTS We enrolled 21 patients and 84 measurements were recorded, 42 probes of serum cortisol and 42 measurements of EE. The mean value of the first measurement of serum cortisol was 13.60±3.6 µg and the second was 16.21±6.52 µg. The average value of the first EE recording was 1273.9±278 kcal and 1463.4±398.2 kcal of the second recording. The bivariate analysis performed showed a good correlation between cortisol variation and EE's variation (Spearman coefficient=0.666, p<0.001, CI=0.285, 0.865). In nine cases (42.85%), cortisol value at 24 hours reached the baseline or below the baselines preoperative value. In eight cases (38.09%), patients' EE at the end of the surgery was lower than that recorded at the beginning of the surgery. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative EE variation correlated well with cortisol perioperative dynamic and stood out in this study as a valuable and accessible predictor of surgical stress in colorectal surgery.

The Impact of Nociception Monitor-Guided Multimodal General Anesthesia on Postoperative Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Bowel Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial. J Clin Med 2024; 13:618. [PMID: 38276124 PMCID: PMC10816099 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13020618] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/20/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Excess surgical stress responses, caused by heightened nociception, can lead to elevated levels of postoperative inflammation, resulting in an increased incidence of complications after surgery. We hypothesized that utilizing nociception monitor-guided multimodal general anesthesia would exert effects on postoperative outcomes (e.g., serum concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP) after surgery, postoperative complications). METHODS This single-center, double-blinded, randomized trial enrolled ASA class I/II adult patients with normal preoperative CRP levels, scheduled for laparoscopic bowel surgery. Patients were randomized to receive either standard care (control group) or nociception monitor-guided multimodal general anesthesia using the nociceptive response (NR) index (NR group), where NR index was kept below 0.85 as possible. The co-primary endpoint was serum concentrations of CRP after surgery or rates of 30-day postoperative complications (defined as Clavien-Dindo grades ≥ II). MAIN RESULTS One hundred and four patients (control group, n = 52; NR group, n = 52) were enrolled for analysis. The serum CRP level on postoperative day (POD) 1 was significantly lower in the NR group (2.70 mg·dL-1 [95% confidence interval (CI), 2.19-3.20]) than in the control group (3.66 mg·dL-1 [95% CI, 2.98-4.34], p = 0.024). The postoperative complication rate was also significantly lower in the NR group (11.5% [95% CI, 5.4-23.0]) than in the control group (38.5% [95% CI, 26.5-52.0], p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Nociception monitor-guided multimodal general anesthesia, which suppressed intraoperative nociception, mitigated serum concentrations of CRP level, and decreased postoperative complications after laparoscopic bowel surgery.

Abstract
To analyze clinical characteristics and anesthesia-related factors influencing central fever during cranial neurosurgery. 31 central fever cases (observation) and 120 controls (no fever) underwent detailed investigation. Anaesthesia-related variables were analyzed using logistic regression. Observation group exhibited significantly elevated indicators-CSF white blood cells, protein, CRP, severe EEG abnormalities, abnormal imaging, positive meningeal signs, seizures, consciousness disorders, and status epilepticus (P < .05). Anesthesia plans showed no influence (P > .05). pH, PaCO2, PaO2, SaO2, MAP, ICP, CPP, and SjiO2 didn't impact central fever (P > .05). However, high HR, low Da-jvO2, and low CEO2 were independent risk factors (P < .05). Central fever, marked by CNS abnormalities, manifests with distinctive clinical features. Anesthesia plans have limited impact, while elevated HR, low Da-jvO2, and low CEO2 independently contribute to central fever. Understanding these factors is crucial for perioperative care optimization.

Effect of nociception level index-guided intra-operative analgesia on early postoperative pain and opioid consumption: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Anaesthesia 2023; 78:1493-1501.

Abstract
Acute postoperative pain remains a critical treatment priority and has prompted a search for technologies and techniques to assist with intra-operative analgesic monitoring and management. Anaesthetists traditionally rely on clinical judgement to guide intra-operative analgesia, but several emerging technologies such as the nociception level index herald the possibility of routine intra-operative analgesia monitoring. However, the impact of devices like nociception level index on postoperative outcomes has not been proven. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of articles which compared nociception level index-guided analgesia to standard care. The primary outcomes were pain intensity and opioid consumption during the first 60-120 min after surgery. Secondary outcomes were the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting and duration of stay in the post-anaesthesia care unit. Ten studies, collectively including 662 patients and published between 2019 and 2023, met inclusion criteria for both the qualitative systematic review and quantitative meta-analysis. Risk of methodological bias was generally low or unclear, and six studies reported a significant conflict of interest relevant to their findings. Our meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model. It found statistically significant benefits of nociception level index-guided analgesia for early postoperative pain (mean (95%CI) difference -0.46 (-0.88 to -0.03) on an 11-point scale, p = 0.03), and opioid requirement (mean (95%CI) difference -1.04 (-1.94 to -0.15) mg intravenous morphine equivalent, p = 0.02). Our meta-analysis of the current literature finds that nociception level index-guided analgesia statistically significantly reduces reported postoperative pain intensity and opioid consumption but fails to show clinically relevant outcomes. We found no evidence that nociception level index-guided analgesia affected postoperative nausea and vomiting nor duration of stay in the post-anaesthesia care unit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative nursing can reduce the stress reaction and improve the prognosis of children. AIM To elucidate the influence of multidisciplinary collaborative nursing for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) with family care in perioperative nursing children with an inguinal hernia and its impact on the prognosis. METHODS The data of 100 children with inguinal hernia were retrospectively analyzed. The participants were divided into three groups according to different nursing methods: Groups A (n = 38), B (n = 32), and C (n = 30). Group A received multidisciplinary collaborative ERAS nursing combined with family care nursing; Group B received multidisciplinary collaborative nursing for ERAS; and Group C received routine nursing. The postoperative recovery results of the three groups were compared, including intraoperative blood loss and postoperative feeding time, time of getting out of bed, hospitalization time, and defecation time. Furthermore, the incidence of common complications was also compared between the three groups. RESULTS There was less intraoperative blood loss in Groups A and B than in Group C (P < 0.05), and the time of getting out of bed and postoperative hospitalization and defecation times were also decreased in Group C (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in postoperative feeding time among the three groups (P > 0.05). Each index had no statistical significance between Groups A and B (P > 0.05). The incidence of urinary retention, infection, hematoma, and hernia recurrence in Group A was less than that in Group C (P < 0.05). No significant difference was observed in the overall complication rate between Groups A and B and between Groups B and C (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The application of multidisciplinary collaborative nursing combined with family care in the perioperative care of children with an inguinal hernia for ERAS may promote postoperative rehabilitation for children and reduce the incidence of complications.

Intraoperative nociception and postoperative inflammation associated with the suppression of major complications due to thoracic epidural block after pleurectomy/decortication for malignant pleural mesothelioma under general anesthesia: A retrospective observational study. Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e34832.

Abstract
A recent study showed that thoracic epidural block (TEB) suppressed the occurrence of major complications after pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) under general anesthesia. To investigate the mechanisms underlying the correlation, both acute inflammatory status and intraoperative nociception were evaluated in the present study. In a single-institutional observational study, consecutive adult patients undergoing P/D were enrolled from March 2019 to April 2022. Perioperative acute inflammatory status was evaluated using differential White blood cell (WBC) counts and serum concentration of C-reactive protein (CRP) both before and after the surgery on postoperative day (POD) 1. The averaged value of nociceptive response index during surgery (mean NR) was obtained to evaluate the level of intraoperative nociception. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the association between perioperative variables and major complications Postoperative major postoperative complication was defined as Clavien-Dindo grades ≥ III. We conducted this study with 97 patients. After logistic regression analysis showed that general anesthesia without TEB was a sole risk factor for major complications, patients were divided into 2 groups: general anesthesia with and without TEB. The incidence of major complications was significantly lower in patients with TEB (33.3%, n = 33) than in those without TEB (64.1%, n = 64, P < .01). Although there was no significant difference in the CRP level between 2 groups, the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) on POD 1 in patients with TEB was significantly higher than that in patients without TEB (P = .04). The mean NR was significantly lower in patients with TEB than that in those without TEB (P = .02). Both lower mean NR during surgery and higher LMR on POD 1 are likely associated the suppression of major complications due to TEB after P/D under general anesthesia. Decreases in the postoperative acute inflammatory response, caused by the reduction of intraoperative nociception due to TEB, may help suppress major complications after P/D.
