[PMID: 38873687 PMCID: PMC11170178 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e32127] [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: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and objective This scientific review involves a sequential analysis of randomized trial research focused on the incidence of shivering in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The study conducted a comprehensive search of different databases, up to the end of 2020. Only randomized trials comparing magnesium administration with either placebo or no treatment in patients expected to experience shivering were included. The primary objective was to evaluate shivering occurrence, distinguishing between patients receiving general anesthesia and those not. Secondary outcomes included serum magnesium concentrations, intubation time, post-anesthesia care unit stay, hospitalization duration, and side effects. Data collection included patient demographics and various factors related to magnesium administration. Material and methods This scientific review analyzed 64 clinical trials meeting inclusion criteria, encompassing a total of 4303 patients. Magnesium was administered via different routes, primarily intravenous, epidural, and intraperitoneal, and compared against placebo or control. Data included demographics, magnesium dosage, administration method, and outcomes. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic. Some studies were excluded due to unavailability of data or non-responsiveness from authors. Result and discussion: Out of 2546 initially identified articles, 64 trials were selected for analysis. IV magnesium effectively reduced shivering, with epidural and intraperitoneal routes showing even greater efficacy. IV magnesium demonstrated cost-effectiveness and a favorable safety profile, not increasing adverse effects. The exact dose-response relationship of magnesium remains unclear. The results also indicated no significant impact on sedation, extubation time, or gastrointestinal distress. However, further research is needed to determine the optimal magnesium dose and to explore its potential effects on blood pressure and heart rate, particularly regarding pruritus prevention. Conclusion This study highlights the efficacy of intravenous (IV) magnesium in preventing shivering after cardiac surgery. Both epidural and intraperitoneal routes have shown promising results. The safety profile of magnesium administration appears favorable, as it reduces the incidence of shivering without significantly increasing costs. However, further investigation is required to establish the ideal magnesium dosage and explore its potential effects on blood pressure, heart rate, and pruritus prevention, especially in various patient groups.

Abstract
Opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH) is a paradoxical effect of opioids that is not consensually recognized in clinical settings. We conducted a revision of clinical and preclinical studies and discuss them side by side to provide an updated and renewed view on OIH. We critically analyze data on the human manifestations of OIH in the context of chronic and post-operative pain. We also discuss how, in the context of cancer pain, though there are no direct evidence of OIH, several inherent conditions to the tumor and chemotherapy provide a substrate for the development of OIH. The review of the clinical data, namely in what concerns the strategies to counter OIH, emphasizes how much OIH rely mechanistically on the existence of µ-opioid receptor (MOR) signaling through opposite, inhibitory/antinociceptive and excitatory/pronociceptive, pathways. The rationale for the maladaptive excitatory signaling of opioids is provided by the emerging growing information on the functional role of alternative splicing and heteromerization of MOR. The crossroads between opioids and neuroinflammation also play a major role in OIH. The latest pre-clinical data in this field brings new insights to new and promising therapeutic targets to address OIH. In conclusion, although OIH remains insufficiently recognized in clinical practice, the appropriate diagnosis can turn it into a treatable pain disorder. Therefore, in times of scarce alternatives to opioids to treat pain, mainly unmanageable chronic pain, increased knowledge and recognition of OIH, likely represent the first steps towards safer and efficient use of opioids as analgesics.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Opioids are commonly administered to infants having surgery. Opioid induced hyperalgesia (OIH) is a known adverse effect of opioids in adults but can be difficult to identify in infants. CASE SUMMARY A 3-month-old received high-dose fentanyl during anorectoplasty for imperforate anus. He had signs and symptoms of OIH immediately after surgery. His pain and agitation were difficult to manage but improved after he received ketamine. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION OIH should be considered in infants postoperatively when pain worsens despite administration of escalating doses of opioids. Ketamine can be an effective therapeutic for OIH.

Abstract
The introduction of synthetic opioids in clinical practice played a major role in the history of anesthesiology. For years, anesthesiologists have been thinking that opioids are needed for intraoperative anesthesia. However, we now know that opioids (especially synthetic short-acting molecules) are definitely not ideal analgesics and may even be counterproductive, increasing postoperative pain. As well, opioids have revealed important drawbacks associated to poor perioperative outcomes. As a matter of fact, efforts in postoperative pain management in the last 30 years were driven by the idea of reducing/eliminating opioids from the postoperative period. However, a modern concept of anesthesia should eliminate opioids already intra-operatively towards a balanced, opioid-free approach (opioid-free anesthesia - OFA). In OFA drugs and techniques historically proven for their efficacy are combined in rational and defined protocols. They include ketamine, alpha-2 agonists, lidocaine, magnesium, anti-inflammatory drugs and regional anesthesia. Promising results have been obtained on perioperative outcome. For sure, analgesia is not reduced with OFA, but it is effective and with less opioid-related side effects. These benefits may be of particular importance in some high-risk patients, like OSAS, obese and chronic opioid-users/abusers. OFA may also increase patient-reported outcomes; despite it is difficult to specifically rule out the effect of intraoperative opioids. Finally, few data are available on long-term outcomes (persistent pain and opioid abuse, cancer outcome). New studies and data are required to elaborate the optimal approach for each patient/surgery, but interest and publication are increasing and may open the road to the wider adoption of OFA.

[PMID: 31903331 PMCID: PMC6935250 DOI: 10.5812/aapm.94498] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2019] [Revised: 07/17/2019] [Accepted: 08/16/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Fentanyl is a popular intraoperative analgesic linked with the development of opioid tolerance (OT) or opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH). The development of OIH or OT may lead to several issues such as delayed healing after surgery and timely discharge. Moreover, it causes discomfort in patients with higher pain scores, greater use of analgesics, and other associated side effects. The current study aimed at determining whether the amount of intraoperatively administered fentanyl affects the onset of acute postoperative pain. The current retrospective study was conducted on 56 patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. In patients receiving relatively large doses of fentanyl intraoperatively (over 3 µg/kg body weight), the onset of acute postoperative pain accelerated significantly, in comparison with the ones receiving lower doses.
