Abstract
BACKGROUND Combining hydromorphone with ropivacaine in ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane blocks enhances postoperative analgesia and reduces interleukin-6 expression in breast surgery patients. METHODS In this study, breast cancer patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy were randomized into 3 groups for anesthesia (30 patients in each group): standard general (group C), Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) with ropivacaine (group R), and ESPB with ropivacaine plus hydromorphone (group HR). Diagnosis: Breast cancer patients. Postsurgery, pain levels, IL-6, anesthetic doses, additional analgesia needs, and recovery milestones were compared to evaluate the efficacy of the ESPB enhancements. RESULTS The 3 groups were not significantly different in baseline characteristics, operation time, number of cases with postoperative nausea, and serum IL-6 concentrations at T1 (the time of being returned to the ward after surgery). At T2 (at 6:00 in the next morning after surgery), the serum IL-6 concentration in group HR was significantly lower than that in groups R and C (P < .05); the intraoperative doses of remifentanil, sufentanil, and propofol were significantly lower in groups HR and R than those in group C (P < .05); Groups HR and R had significantly lower visual analog scale scores at T3 (4 hours postoperatively), T4 (12 hours postoperatively), and T5 (24 hours postoperatively) than those in group C (P < .05); the proportions of patients receiving postoperative remedial analgesia were significantly lower in groups HR and R than in group C (P < .05); groups HR and R had significantly lower proportions of patients with postoperative nausea than group C (P < .05); the time to the first anal exhaust and the time to the first ambulation after surgery were significantly shorter in groups HR and R than those in group C (P < .05). CONCLUSION Hydromorphone combined with ropivacaine for ESPB achieved a greater postoperative analgesic effect for patients receiving MRM under general anesthesia. The combined analgesia caused fewer adverse reactions and inhibited the expression level of the inflammatory factor IL-6 more effectively, thereby facilitating postoperative recovery. ESPB using hydromorphone with ropivacaine improved pain control post-MRM, reduced adverse effects, and more effectively suppressed IL-6, enhancing recovery.

The Analgesic Effect of Ultrasound-guided Erector Spinae Plane Block in Median Sternotomy Cardiac Surgery in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2024:S1053-0770(24)00349-5. [PMID: 38890084 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2024.05.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 05/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the analgesic effect of erector spinae plane block in adults undergoing median sternotomy cardiac surgery. DESIGN AND SETTING The Cochrane, Embase, and PubMed databases from inception to January 2024 were searched. The study has been registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42023470375). PARTICIPANTS Eight randomized controlled trials involving 543 patients, comparing with no block or sham block, were included, whether it was a single injection or continuous. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary outcomes were pain scores and opioid consumption. Erector spinae plane block reduced pain scores immediately after extubation (mean difference [MD], -1.19; 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.67 to -0.71; p for heterogeneity = 0.10), at 6 hours after extubation (MD, -1.96; 95% CI, -2.85 to -1.08; p for heterogeneity < 0.0001), and at 12 hours after extubation (MD, -0.98; 95% CI, -1.55 to -0.40; p for heterogeneity < 0.00001). The decrease in pain scores reached the minimal clinically important difference within 6 hours. Opioid consumption 24 hours after surgery decreased by 35.72 mg of oral morphine equivalents (95% CI, -50.88 to -20.57; p for heterogeneity < 0.0001). Sensitivity analysis confirmed the stability of results. The quality of primary outcomes was rated as very low to moderate. CONCLUSIONS Erector spinae plane block decreased pain scores within 12 hours after extubation, reached the minimal clinically important difference within 6 hours, and decreased opioid consumption 24 hours after surgery, based on data of very low to moderate quality. However, high-quality randomized controlled trials are necessary to validate these findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the benefit of single-shot erector spinae plane block (ESPB) on pain at postoperative hours 4 and 12, duration of mechanical ventilation, hospital length of stay, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay, cumulative postoperative opioid usage, and incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after cardiac surgery via sternotomy DESIGN: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and prospective clinical trials. SETTING Studies were identified through the search of PubMed and EMBASE on July 19, 2023. PARTICIPANTS Adults and children undergoing cardiac surgery via sternotomy. INTERVENTIONS Single-shot ESPB versus standard-of-care analgesia. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A systematic review and meta-analysis of 10 studies (N = 695 patients). The single-shot ESPB arm exhibited statistically significant reductions in pain score at postoperative hour 4 (standardized mean difference [SMD] -2.95, 95% CI -5.86 to -0.04, p = 0.0466), duration of mechanical ventilation (SMD -1.23, 95% CI -2.21 to -0.24, p = 0.0145), cumulative postoperative opioid usage (SMD -1.48, 95% CI -2.46 to -0.49, p = 0.0033), and PONV incidence (risk ratio 0.4358, 95% CI 0.2105-0.9021, p = 0.0252). The single-shot ESPB arm did not exhibit a statistically significant reduction in pain score at postoperative hour 12, length of hospital stay, and length of ICU stay. CONCLUSIONS Single-shot ESPB improves near-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery via sternotomy. More randomized controlled trials are needed to validate these findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate and compare the effects of the pectointercostal fascial plane block (PIFPB) and the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) on enhancing the recovery of patients who undergo cardiac surgery. DESIGN A randomized, controlled, double-blinded study. SETTING The operating rooms and intensive care units of university hospitals. PARTICIPANTS One hundred patients who were American Society of Anesthesiologists class II to III aged 18-to-70 years scheduled for elective cardiac surgery. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomly assigned to undergo either ultrasound-guided bilateral PIFPB or ESPB. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Patients shared comparable baseline characteristics. Time to extubation, the primary outcome, did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference between the groups, with median (95% confidence interval) values of 115 (90-120) minutes and 110 (100-120) minutes, respectively (p = 0.875). The ESPB group had a statistically significant reduced pain score postoperatively. The median (IQR) values of postoperative fentanyl consumption were statistically significantly lower in the ESPB group than in the PIFPB group (p < 0.001): 4 (4-5) versus 9 (9-11) µg/kg, respectively. In the ESPB group, the first analgesia request was given 4 hours later than in the PIFPB group (p < 0.001). Additionally, 12 (24%) patients in the PIFPB group reported nonsternal wound chest pain, compared with none in the ESPB group. The median intensive care unit length of stay for both groups was 3 days (p = 0.428). CONCLUSIONS Erector spinae plane block and PIFPB were found to equally affect recovery after cardiac surgery, with comparable extubation times and intensive care unit length of stay.

Influence of Intraoperative Nociception during Hip or Knee Arthroplasty with Supplementary Regional Anaesthesia on Postoperative Pain and Opioid Consumption. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:1166. [PMID: 37374370 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59061166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Early postoperative mobilization is central for postoperative outcomes after lower extremity joint replacement surgery. By providing adequate pain control, regional anaesthesia plays an important role for postoperative mobilization. It was the objective of this study to investigate the use of the nociception level index (NOL) to determine the effect of regional anaesthesia in hip or knee arthroplasty patients undergoing general anaesthesia with additional peripheral nerve block. Materials and Methods: Patients received general anaesthesia, and continuous NOL monitoring was established before anaesthesia induction. Depending on the type of surgery, regional anaesthesia was performed with a Fascia Iliaca Block or an Adductor Canal Block. Results: For the final analysis, 35 patients remained, 18 with hip and 17 with knee arthroplasty. We found no significant difference in postoperative pain between hip or knee arthroplasty groups. NOL increase at the time of skin incision was the only parameter associated with postoperative pain measured using a numerical rating scale (NRS > 3) after 24 h in movement (-12.3 vs. +119%, p = 0.005). There was no association with intraoperative NOL values and postoperative opioid consumption, nor was there an association between secondary parameters (bispectral index, heart rate) and postoperative pain levels. Conclusions: Intraoperative NOL changes may indicate regional anaesthesia effectiveness and could be associated with postoperative pain levels. This remains to be confirmed in a larger study.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pain management after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a main concern for Chinese clinicians. This study aims to explore the effect of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) on the postoperative analgesia of patients undergoing LC in China. METHODS In this randomized controlled trial (RCT), 220 patients were randomized into the ESPB group and control group. Patients in the ESPB group received a bilateral ESPB, and patients in the control group were injected saline. Lornoxicam (0.08 mg/mL, 100 mL) was used as routine analgesia for both groups after the surgery. Visual analog scale (VAS) score at rest state at 12 h postoperative was the primary outcome and divided into no pain, mild pain, moderate pain, and severe pain. RESULTS Finally, 197 patients were included for analysis. At postoperative 12 h, ESPB group observed less patients with moderate pain (0% vs. 8.91%) and severe pain (0% vs. 0.99%) than the control group (P < 0.001). Moreover, ESPB group found less dose of additional sufentanil (5.55 ± 1.37 μg vs. 10.67 ± 5.05 μg), less requirement for rescue analgesia (13.54% vs. 31.68%), earlier first time to leave bed (10 h vs. 18 h), and earlier first exhaust time (17.5 h vs. 25 h), less adverse reactions (5.21% vs. 17.82%), and higher satisfaction degree (78.13% vs. 31.68%) (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS ESPB was followed by better postoperative analgesia and less opioid consumption.

Nociception Control of Bilateral Single-Shot Erector Spinae Plane Block Compared to No Block in Open Heart Surgery-A Post Hoc Analysis of the NESP Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:medicina59020265. [PMID: 36837467 PMCID: PMC9965417 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59020265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2022] [Revised: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is an analgesic adjunct demonstrated to reduce intraoperative opioid consumption within a Nociception Level (NOL) index-directed anesthetic protocol. We aimed to examine the ESPB effect on the quality of intraoperative nociception control evaluated with the NOL index. Materials and Methods: This is a post hoc analysis of the NESP (Nociception Level Index-Directed Erector Spinae Plane Block in Open Heart Surgery) randomized controlled trial. Eighty-five adult patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery were allocated to group 1 (Control, n = 43) and group 2 (ESPB, n = 42). Both groups received general anesthesia. Preoperatively, group 2 received bilateral single-shot ESPB (1.5 mg/kg/side 0.5% ropivacaine mixed with dexamethasone 8 mg/20 mL). Until cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was initiated, fentanyl administration was individualized using the NOL index. The NOL index was compared at five time points: pre-incision (T1), post-incision (T2), pre-sternotomy (T3), post-sternotomy (T4), and pre-CPB (T5). On a scale from 0 (no nociception) to 100 (extreme nociception), a NOL index > 25 was considered an inadequate response to noxious stimuli. Results: The average NOL index across the five time points in group 2 to group 1 was 12.78 ± 0.8 vs. 24.18 ± 0.79 (p < 0.001). The NOL index was significantly lower in the ESPB-to-Control group at T2 (12.95 ± 1.49 vs. 35.97 ± 1.47), T3 (13.28 ± 1.49 vs. 24.44 ± 1.47), and T4 (15.52 ± 1.49 vs. 34.39 ± 1.47) (p < 0.001) but not at T1 and T5. Compared to controls, significantly fewer ESPB patients reached a NOL index > 25 at T2 (4.7% vs. 79%), T3 (0% vs. 37.2%), and T4 (7.1% vs. 79%) (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The addition of bilateral single-shot ESPB to general anesthesia during cardiac surgery improved the quality of intraoperative nociception control according to a NOL index-based evaluation.
