Abstract
BACKGROUND High doses of long-acting opioids were used to facilitate off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting procedure, which may result in opioid-related adverse events after surgery. Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) had been reported to be effective in reducing intraoperative opioids consumption during surgery. The aim of this study is to assess whether TEAS with difference acupoints can reduce the doses of opioid analgesics. METHODS This was a multicenter, randomized, controlled, double-blind trial. Patients underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting under general anesthesia were enrolled. Eligible patients were randomly and equally grouped into sham acupuncture group (n = 105), regional acupoints combination group (n = 105), or distal-proximal acupoints combination group (n = 105) using a centralized computer-generated randomization system. Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation was applied for 30 min before anesthesia induction. The primary outcome was the doses of sufentanil during anesthesia. Secondary outcomes included the highest postoperative vasoactive-inotropic scores within 24 h, intraoperative propofol consumption, length of mechanical ventilation, duration of cardiac care unit and postoperative hospital stay, incidence of postoperative complications, and mortality within 30 days after surgery. RESULTS Of the 315 randomized patients, 313 completed the trial. In the modified intention-to-treat analysis, the doses of sufentanil were 303.9 (10.8) μg in the distal-proximal acupoints group, significantly lower than the sham group, and the mean difference was - 34.9 (- 64.9 to - 4.9) μg, p = 0.023. The consumption of sufentanil was lower in distal-proximal group than regional group (303.9 vs. 339.5), and mean difference was - 35.5 (- 65.6 to - 5.5) μg, p = 0.020. The distal-proximal group showed 10% reduction in opioids consumption comparing to both regional and sham groups. Secondary outcomes were comparable among three groups. CONCLUSION Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation with distal-proximal acupoints combination, compared to regional acupoints combination and sham acupuncture, significantly reduced sufentanil consumption in patients who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 2022:3603949. [PMID: 36176970 PMCID: PMC9514925 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3603949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Revised: 09/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Objective Surgical reduction is the leading approach to patients with lower extremity fractures. The options of anesthetic drugs during surgery are of great significance to postoperative recovery of patients. There is no consensus on the optimum anesthesia method for patients undergoing lower extremity fracture surgery. Our study is aimed at investigating the impacts of nerve block combined with general anesthesia on perioperative outcomes of the patients. Methods In this retrospective study, 48 patients experienced general anesthesia only, and 42 patients received never block combined with general anesthesia. The perioperative hemodynamics was recorded, including mean arterial pressure (MAP), oxygen saturation of blood (SpO2), and heart rate (HR). Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) were carried out to evaluate postoperative pain and cognitive status. Furthermore, adverse reactions and recovery condition were observed between the patients receiving different anesthesia methods. Results At 15 minutes and 30 minutes after anesthesia, as well as 5 minutes after surgery, significant lower MAP was observed in the patients treated with general anesthesia (83.04 ± 8.661, 79.17 ± 9.427, 86.58 ± 8.913) compared to those receiving never block combined with general anesthesia (90.43 ± 4.618, 88.74 ± 6.224, 92.21 ± 4.015) (P < 0.05), and compared with general anesthesia group (68.5 ± 7.05, 69.63 ± 7.956, 72.75 ± 8.446), the combined anesthesia group (73.52 ± 9.451, 74.17 ± 10.13, 77.62 ± 9.768) showed obvious higher HR (P < 0.05). No significant difference in SpO2 was found between the two groups at multiple time points (P > 0.05). As for the score of VAS and MoCA, remarkably lower VAS and higher MoCA at 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after surgery were presented in the combined anesthesia group compared to general anesthesia group (P < 0.05). At 24 h after surgery, the two groups showed normal cognitive function (26.33 ± 0.7244 vs. 28.55 ± 0.7392). Incidence of nausea and vomiting in the combined anesthesia group was lower than that of the general anesthesia group (P < 0.05). The time to out-of-bed activity and hospital stay were shorter in the combined anesthesia group compared with general anesthesia (P < 0.05). Conclusion The application of never block combined with general anesthesia contributed to the stability of hemodynamics, alleviation of postoperative pain and cognitive impairment, along with decrease in adverse reactions and hospital stay in the patients with lower extremity fractures.

Suo X, Wang Z, Zhu Y. Application effect of sevoflurane combined with remifentanil intravenous inhalation anesthesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of cervical cancer. Am J Transl Res 2022; 14:1034-1042. [PMID: 35273705 PMCID: PMC8902557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/21/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the application effect of sevoflurane combined with remifentanil intravenous inhalation anesthesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of cervical cancer (LRHCC). METHODS The clinical data of 127 patients with cervical cancer (CC) who received LRHCC in Henan Provincial People's Hospital during January 2017 and June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 60 patients anesthetized by propofol combined with remifentanil were assigned to the control group (Con group), while the rest 67 anesthetized by sevoflurane combined with remifentanil to the research group (Res group). The following items of the two groups were compared: the changes of heart rate and blood pressure before anesthesia (T0), at 30 min after anesthesia (T1) and 10 min after surgery (T2), anesthetic effect, stress substance contents, anesthesia recovery, changes in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores, and adverse reactions. RESULTS The heart rate and blood pressure at T1 and T2 were notably different between the two groups (P<0.05). In contrast to the Con group, the Res group showed a greatly better recovery effect of anesthesia and presented notably lower levels of adrenaline and GLU (all P<0.05). 10 min after surgery, the Con group showed lower levels of BDNF and NGF than the Con group. After surgery, the MMSE scores in the Res group were higher than that of the Con group, and the two groups had no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions (P>0.05). CONCLUSION In contrast to propofol combined with remifentanil anesthesia, intravenous inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane combined with remifentanil can exert a stronger anesthetic effect in patients receiving LRHCC, with a high safety.

Early removal of chest drains in patients following off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (OPCAB) is not inferior to standard care - study in the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) group. POLISH JOURNAL OF THORACIC AND CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY 2021; 18:71-74. [PMID: 34386046 PMCID: PMC8340633 DOI: 10.5114/ms.2021.107466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Introduction Only a few studies have concerned the timing of chest drains’ removal in cardiac surgery patients following the coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). None of them pertained to the off-pump CABG (OPCAB) procedure. Aim To compare thoracic drainage time in OPCAB patients before the implementation of the institutional Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol and after that. Material and methods It was a single-center observational study concerning patients following OPCAB. Two groups of patients were analyzed: after implementing the ERAS protocol, the ERAS group, and before this period, the standard care group (STAND group). The primary outcome of this study was to compare postoperative drainage time in the ERAS and STAND groups. The other outcomes included comparing transfused blood products, postoperative complications, surgical technique, postoperative ventilation and the intensive care unit stay time. Results Sixty patients in the ERAS and 112 in the STAND group were analyzed. The postoperative drainage time was shorter in the ERAS than in the STAND group: 20 (17–22) vs. 30 (27–35) h, p < 0.001. The number of transfused blood products was similar in both groups. No difference was noted between groups according to surgery and anesthesia time. However, patients in the ERAS group were ventilated for a significantly shorter time after the surgery and spent less time in the ICU than the STAND group. The number of postoperative complications in the ERAS and STAND group was 14 and 27, p = 1. Conclusions The early removal of chest drains after OPCAB does not increase the risk of postoperative complications and demand for blood products. However, its impact on patients’ morbidity needs further studies.
