Abstract
PURPOSE The external oblique intercostal plane (EOI) block is a novel block technique for anterolateral upper abdominal wall analgesia. The superficial nature of the external oblique intercostal plane allows it to be easily identified even in patients with obesity. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that EOI block would reduce IV morphine consumption within 24 h after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: EOI block group and control group. The patients in the EOI block group received ultrasound-guided bilateral EOI block with a total of 40 ml 0.25% bupivacaine after anesthesia induction. The patients in the control group received no intervention. Postoperatively, all the patients were connected to an intravenous patient controlled analgesia (PCA) device containing morphine. The primary outcome of the study was IV morphine consumption in the first postoperative 24 h. RESULTS The median [interquartile range] morphine consumption at 24 h postoperatively was significantly lower in the EOI block group than in the control group (7.5 [3.5 to 8.5] mg vs 14 [12 to 20] mg, p = 0.0001, respectively). Numerical rating scale (NRS) scores at rest and during movement were lower in the EOI block group than in the control group at 2, 6, and 12 h but were similar at 24 h. No block-related complications were observed in any patients. CONCLUSION The results of the current study demonstrated that bilateral EOI block reduced postoperative opioid consumption and postoperative pain in patients with obesity undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) improves postoperative pain during ambulation following elective open hepatectomy. BACKGROUND Strategies to alleviate postoperative pain are a critical element of recovery after surgery. However, the optimal postoperative pain management strategy following open hepatectomy remains unclear. METHODS We conducted a prospective, nonblinded, randomized comparison of PCEA (intervention) versus intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA; control) for postoperative pain following elective open hepatectomy. The primary end point was pain during ambulation on postoperative day (POD) 2. The study was powered to detect a clinically significant 2-point difference on the pain numeric rating scale (NRS). Secondary end points included pain at rest, morbidity, time to return of bowel function, and length of stay. RESULTS From 2015 to 2020, 231 patients were randomized (116 patients in the PCEA arm and 115 in the IV PCA arm). The incidence of epidural failure was 3% (n=4/116), with no epidural-related complications. Patients in the PCEA arm had a <2-point difference in NRS pain scores during ambulation on POD 2 vs. IV PCA (median 4.0 vs. 5.0, P <0.001). There was no difference in overall complications between the PCEA and IV PCA arms (33% vs. 40%, P =0.276). Secondary outcomes, including pain scores at rest, were similar between the study arms. CONCLUSIONS PCEA was safe following open hepatectomy and was associated with a small difference in pain with activity on POD 2 that did not reach our pre-specified definition of clinical significance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pain is common in pediatric urological surgery. The study assess the impact of perioperative intravenous infusion of low-dose esketamine on postoperative pain in pediatric urological surgery. METHODS Pediatric patients (n = 80) undergoing urological surgery were randomized into four groups. Patients in the control group were administered an analgesic pump containing only hydromorphone at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg (Hydromorphone Group 1, H1) or 0.15 mg/kg (Hydromorphone Group 2, H2). Patients in the experimental group were injected intravenously with 0.3 mg/kg of esketamine (Esketamine group 1, ES1) or equal volume of saline (Esketamine Group 2, ES2) during anesthesia induction. Esketamine 1.0 mg/kg and hydromorphone 0.1 mg/kg were added to the analgesic pump. Face, Leg, Activity, Crying, and Comfort (FLACC) scale or the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and adverse effects were recorded at 2, 6, 24, and 48 h postoperatively. Additionally, total and effective PCA button presses were recorded. RESULTS In comparison to the H1 group, the pain scores were notably reduced at all postoperative time points in both the ES1 and H2 groups. The ES2 group exhibited lower pain scores only at 24 and 48 h postoperatively. When compared to the H2 group, there were no significant differences in pain scores at various postoperative time points in the ES2 group. However, the ES1 group demonstrated significantly lower pain scores at 6, 24 and 48 h postoperatively, and these scores were also significantly lower than those observed in the ES2 group. The total and effective number of PCA button presses in the ES1, ES2 and H2 group were lower than that in the H1 group (P < 0.001). The incidence of adverse effects within 48 h after surgery was 15% in ES1, 22% in ES2, 58% in H1, and 42% in H2, respectively (P = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS The use of low-dose esketamine infusion in analgesia pump can effectively alleviates postoperative pain in pediatric urological patients, leading to a significant reduction in the number of analgesic pump button press. The combined approach of perioperative anesthesia induction and analgesia pump administration is recommended for optimal pain management in these patients.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Adequate pain management during early rehabilitation is mandatory for improving the outcomes of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Conventional pain management, mainly comprising opioids and epidural analgesia, may result in certain adverse effects such as dizziness, nausea, and motor blockade. We proposed a multimodal analgesic (MA) strategy involving the use of peripheral nerve block (NB), periarticular injection (PAI), and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IVPCA). This study compared the clinical efficacy and adverse effects of the proposed MA strategy and patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA). Materials and Methods: We enrolled 118 patients who underwent TKA under spinal anesthesia. The patients followed either the MA protocol or received PCEA after surgery. The analgesic effect was examined using a numerical rating scale (NRS). The adverse effects experienced by the patients were recorded. Results: A lower proportion of patients in the MA group experienced motor blockade (6.45% vs. 22.98%) compared to those in the PCEA group on the first postoperative day. Furthermore, a lower proportion of patients in the MA group experienced numbness (18.52% vs. 43.33%) than those in the PCEA group on the first postoperative day. Conclusions: The MA strategy can be recommended for reducing the occurrence of motor blockade and numbness in patients following TKA. Therefore, the MA strategy ensures early rehabilitation while maintaining adequate pain relief.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of whole-course multimodal analgesia on postoperative pain and rapid recovery in elderly patients undergoing radical resection of urological tumors. Methods: The 132 geriatric patients (aged≥65 years) with urological tumors undergone laparoscopic surgery in Peking University Third Hospital from January to June 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into three groups based on the perioperative analgesia protocol. Group C [n=54, 45 males and 9 females, aged 72 (68, 76) years]: patients were treated with local anesthetic wounds infiltration (LAWI) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Group P [n=36, 26 males and 10 females, aged 70 (67, 72) years]: patients received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) on the basis of LAWI and NSAIDs. Group M [n=42, 30 males and 12 females, aged 70 (68, 73) years]: patients received whole-course multimodal analgesia, including peripheral nerve block (PNB) preoperatively and PCIA+NSAIDs for postoperative analgesia. The postoperative resting pain (numerical rating scale, NRS) on postoperative day 1 and 2, the rate of demand for analgesic rescue and sleep aid medication, the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting within 48 hours after surgery were collected and analyzed. Postoperative recovery conditions included the laboratory indicators within 24 hours after surgery, the defecation time, the drainage tube removal time, the activities of daily living (ADL) score at discharge, the postoperative complications and the length of hospital stay. Results: The resting NRS [M (Q1, Q3)] on the 1st and 2nd day postoperatively for patients in group M were 2 (1, 3) and 1 (0, 2) respectively. In contrast, patients in group C had NRS of 4 (3, 5) and 2 (1, 4), while those in group P had scores of 3 (2, 4) and 2 (1, 3). Compared with group C and group P, the resting NRS of patients in group M was significantly decreased (all P<0.001). The incidence of resting NRS≥4 in group M on the 1st and 2nd day postoperatively were 23.8% (10/42) and 11.9% (5/42) respectively, which were lower than those of 51.9% (28/54), 35.2% (19/54) in group C and 33.3%(14/36), 16.7% (7/36) in group P (all P<0.05). The demand rate for analgesic rescue and sleep aid medication within 48 hours after surgery, the incidence of postoperative complications and the postoperative hospital stay were 47.6% (20/42), 9.5% (4/42), 21.4% (9/42), and 5 (4, 6) d in group M, which were lower than those of 72.2% (39/54), 29.6% (16/54), 46.3% (25/54), 6 (5, 9) in group C, and 66.7% (24/36), 27.8% (10/36), 27.8% (10/36), 6 (5, 7) in group P (all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, the laboratory indicators within 24 hours after surgery, the defecation time, the drainage tube removal time, the ADL score and the length of hospital stay among three groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion: For elderly patients with urological tumors undergoing radical surgery, whole-course multimodal analgesia can improve postoperative pain within 48 hours, reduce postoperative complications, shorten postoperative hospital stay, and accelerate patient recovery.

Abstract
Identifying patients at risk for developing side effects secondary to intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA) and making the necessary adjustments in pain management are crucial. We investigated the risk factors of discontinuing IV PCA due to side effects following general surgery; adult patients who received IV PCA after general surgery (2020-2022) were included. Data on postoperative pain intensity, PCA pain relief, side effects, continuity of PCA use, and PCA pump settings were collected from the records of the acute pain management team. The primary outcome was identifying the risk factors associated with PCA discontinuation due to side effects. Of the 8745 patients included, 94.95% used opioid-containing PCA, and 5.05% used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-only PCA; 600 patients discontinued PCA due to side effects. Female sex (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 3.31, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.74-4.01), hepato-pancreatic-biliary surgery (aOR 1.43, 95% CI 1.06-1.94) and background infusion of PCA (aOR 1.42, 95% CI 1.04, 1.94) were associated with an increased likelihood of PCA discontinuation. Preoperative opioid use (aOR 0.49, 95% CI 0.28-0.85) was linked with a decreased likelihood of PCA discontinuation. These findings highlight the importance of individualized pain management, considering patient characteristics and surgical procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic liver surgery has undergone substantial advancements over the past few decades, and the key to this improvement has been an improved understanding of liver anatomy, radiologic imaging, and advancements in anesthesia and postoperative care. This study aimed to compare postoperative opioid consumption in patients receiving intrathecal morphine plus low-dose bupivacaine versus those receiving intravenous morphine. METHODS In this randomized controlled trial, 40 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to two groups, of which one received 0.2 mg intrathecal morphine plus 0.25% Marcaine in a total volume of 4 mL and the other received intravenous morphine intraoperatively. Pain relief and patient satisfaction were evaluated using the visual analog scale. Intraoperative blood loss was measured at the end of the surgery while morphine consumption was measured by monitoring intravenous patient-controlled morphine at 12, 24, 36, and 48 h postoperatively. Treatment efficacy and complications were documented. RESULTS Morphine consumption was significantly different in both groups at all time points, although the pain score did not show any difference. Shoulder pain, a common adverse effect of laparoscopic surgery, was significantly lower in the intrathecal group (25% vs. 75%). Blood loss and patient satisfaction were not different between the groups. However, the intrathecal group showed a significantly higher incidence of intraoperative hypotension. CONCLUSION Intrathecal morphine with bupivacaine can be used effectively for managing acute post-LLR pain. THAI CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRY TCTR20211015004.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is commonly used for acute postoperative pain management. Clinicians may also use PCA in the management of acute pancreatitis (AP); however, there is limited data on its impact on patient outcomes. We aimed to characterize a cohort of patients receiving PCA therapy for pain management in AP compared to those patients receiving standard physician-directed delivery of analgesia. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult patients admitted with AP at a tertiary care center from 2008 to 2018. Exclusion criteria included patients with chronic opioid use, chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. Primary outcomes include length of stay (LOS) and time to enteral nutrition. Secondary outcomes include proportion of patients discharged with opioid and complications. Multivariate regression analysis and t-test were used for analysis. RESULTS Among 656 AP patients who met the criteria, patients receiving PCA (n = 62) and standard delivery (n = 594) were similar in admission pain score, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and pancreatitis severity. There were significantly greater proportion of women, Caucasians and nonalcoholics who received PCA therapy (p < 0.01) than standard delivery. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that patients in the PCA group have a longer LOS (7.17 vs. 5.43 days, p < 0.007, OR 1.03; 95% CI 1.01-1.07), longer time to enteral nutrition (3.84 days vs. 2.56 days, p = 0.012, OR 1.11; 95% CI 1.02-1.20), and higher likelihood of being discharged with opioids (OR 1.94; 95% CI 1.07-3.63, p = 0.03). CONCLUSION The use of PCA in AP may be associated with poorer outcomes including longer LOS, time to enteral intake and a higher likelihood of being discharged with opioids.

Abstract
Objective To study the postoperative analgesic effect of ropivacaine combined with dexmedetomidine for serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) under ultrasound visualization plus patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) in patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer. Methods A total of 129 patients undergoing elective thoracoscopic surgery were enrolled. The patients were randomly assigned to three groups ( n=43 in each group), a normal saline group (control group), a ropivacaine mesylate group (Group R) and a ropivacaine mesylate combined with dexmetomidine hydrochloride group (Group RD). After operation, ultrasound-guided SAPB was performed and patients in the three groups received the injection of 0 mL of 0.9% normal saline, 25 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine, and 25 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine+1 μg/kg dextrometomidine hydrochloride mixture, respectively. In addition, PCIA was used for all the patients. The button on the PCIA pump was pressed when the postoperative pain visual analogue score (VAS)≥4 on coughing, and rescue analgesic of sufentanil was given intravenously at 2.5 μg/bolus. The primary outcome was the VAS scores at rest and on coughing at 10 min (T 1), 6 h (T 2), 12 h (T 3), 24 h (T 4), and 48 h (T 5) after extubation. The secondary outcomes included hemodynamics, the quality of sleep for the first 3 nights after operation, number of times the button on the PCIA pump was pressed, intraoperative and postoperative opioid dosage, time of first postoperative rescue analgesic, duraion of intubation, length of stay at the hospital, adverse reactions, etc. Results Compared with those of the control group, the VAS scores of the Group R and Group RD were significantly lower at 10 min, 6 h, and 12 h after extubation ( P<0.05). In comparison with Group R, the number of patients requiring rescue analgesia, the time of first postoperative rescue analgesic, the number of times the button on the PCIA pump was pressed, and the total dose of rescue sufentanil were all significantly lower ( P<0.05) in the Group RD. Patients in the Group RD had better sleep quality in the second and third nights after operation and lower incidence of nausea and vomiting ( P<0.05). Conclusion 0.5% ropivacaine and 1 μg/kg dexmedetomidine SAPB combined with PCIA can significantly reduce postoperative pain and improve postoperative recovery quality in patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a still highly relevant problem and is known to be a distressing side effect in patients. The aim of this study was to develop a machine learning model to predict PONV up to 24 h with fentanyl-based intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA). METHODS From July 2019 and July 2020, data from 2,149 patients who received fentanyl-based IV-PCA for analgesia after non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia were applied to develop predictive models. The rates of PONV at 1 day after surgery were measured according to patient characteristics as well as anesthetic, surgical, or PCA-related factors. All statistical analyses and computations were performed using the R software. RESULTS A total of 2,149 patients were enrolled in this study, 337 of whom (15.7%) experienced PONV. After applying the machine-learning algorithm and Apfel model to the test dataset to predict PONV, we found that the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve using logistic regression was 0.576 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.520-0.633), k-nearest neighbor was 0.597 (95% CI, 0.537-0.656), decision tree was 0.561 (95% CI, 0.498-0.625), random forest was 0.610 (95% CI, 0.552-0.668), gradient boosting machine was 0.580 (95% CI, 0.520-0.639), support vector machine was 0.649 (95% CI, 0.592-0.707), artificial neural network was 0.686 (95% CI, 0.630-0.742), and Apfel model was 0.643 (95% CI, 0.596-0.690). CONCLUSIONS We developed and validated machine learning models for predicting PONV in the first 24 h. The machine learning model showed better performance than the Apfel model in predicting PONV.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to compare the postoperative analgesic effects of ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block-2 (QLB-2) and quadratus lumborum block-3 (QLB-3) after cesarean section (C/S) under general anesthesia. METHOD This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind study. A total of 143 term pregnant women with American Society of Anesthesiologists II status, who were scheduled for elective C/S under general anesthesia were randomly separated into QLB-2 and QLB-3 groups. After surgery under standardized general anesthesia, QLBs were performed with 0.3 mL.Kg-1 0.25% bupivacaine in both groups. Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) devices were used for additional analgesia. The primary outcomes were pain scores evaluated at 0, 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours. In addition, PCA demands, actual delivered tramadol doses, rescue analgesic requirements, anesthesia time, and patient satisfaction were recorded. RESULTS A total of 104 patients were analyzed statistically. Pain scores were statistically lower in the QLB-3 group at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively (P = .001). Anesthesia time was longer in the QLB-3 group. Patients who received QLB-3 block demonstrated significantly fewer PCA demands and lower consumption of tramadol (P = .003). Moreover, the first analgesic requirement time was longer along with higher patient satisfaction. In addition, all procedures were performed without any complications and side effects due to PCA were negligible. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that, although both QLBs were safe and reliable, QLB-3 provides more effective analgesia and patient satisfaction than QLB-2 in C/S.

Abstract
Continuous wound infusion analgesia (CWA) with local anesthetics is a loco-regional anesthetic approach for multimodal analgesia management in surgical procedures. This study analyzed whether the combination of intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and CWA would be more effective than PCA alone for postoperative analgesia and in preventing chronic postsurgical pain syndrome (PSPS) after thoracic surgeries. We enrolled 166 patients after propensity score matching, the PCA alone (PCA group, n = 83) and the combination of PCA and CWA (PCA-CWA group, n = 83), through a review of electronic medical records. The primary endpoint was the numeric rating scale (NRS) at postoperative days 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The secondary endpoint was the presence of PSPS at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. The NRS were lower in the PCA-CWA group than in the PCA group throughout the postoperative period (p < 0.001). The sedation incidence was lower in the PCA-CWA group (1.2%) than in the PCA group (9.6%) (p = 0.034), and there was no significant difference in other postoperative complications or in the incidence of PSPS (p = 1.000). The combination of intravenous PCA and CWA is an effective postoperative analgesic modality for thoracic surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To find out the reasons why patients still need to use rescue analgesics frequently after gastrointestinal tumor surgery under the patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (IV-PCA), and the different abdominal surgery patients using the difference of analgesics. METHODS A total of 970 patients underwent abdominal operation for gastrointestinal tumors were included. According whether patients used dezocine frequently for rescue analgesics within 2 days after surgery, they assigned into two groups: RAN group (Patients who did not frequently use rescue analgesia, 406 cases) and RAY group (Patients who frequently used rescue analgesia, 564 cases). The data collected included patient's characteristics, postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS), nausea and vomiting (PONV), and postoperative activity recovery time. RESULTS No differences were observed in the baseline characteristics. Compared with the RAN group, patients in the RAY group had a higher proportion of open surgery, upper abdominal surgery, VAS score at rest on the first 2 days after surgery and PONV, and a slower recovery of most postoperative activities. Under the current use of IV-PCA background, the proportion of rescue analgesics used by patients undergoing laparotomy and upper abdominal surgery was as high as 64.33% and 72.8%, respectively. Regression analysis showed that open surgery (vs laparoscopic surgery: OR: 2.288, 95% CI: 1.650-3.172) and the location of the tumor in the upper abdomen (vs lower abdominal tumor: OR: 2.738, 95% CI: 2.034-3.686) were influential factors for frequent salvage administration. CONCLUSIONS In our patient population, with our IV-PCA prescription for postoperative pain control, patient who underwent open upper abdominal surgery required more rescue postoperative analgesia.

Abstract
Remifentanil is an ultra-short-acting opioid that sometimes causes opioid-induced hyperalgesia, which has led to controversy regarding the association between intraoperative remifentanil administration and postoperative pain. This study aimed to assess the effects of the intraoperative remifentanil dose on postoperative pain. Patients undergoing esophageal, gastric/hepatobiliary, or intestinal/colon surgery and using postoperative patient-controlled epidural analgesia were analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups based on the average intraoperative remifentanil dose (high-dose remifentanil [HR] group: ≥0.1 μg/kg/min; low-dose remifentanil [LR] group: <0.1 μg/kg/min). In all, 406 patients met the inclusion criteria. A significant difference in the average dose of remifentanil was seen between the groups during the anesthesia period (0.14±0.05 vs. 0.07±0.02 μg/kg/min). However, no significant difference was seen in pre- or intraoperative patient characteristics. Numerical rating scale (NRS) scores on postoperative day 1 were similar between the groups (HR: 1.7±2.0; LR: 1.7±2.0; p=0.74). The incidence of poor pain control (NRS > 3/10) was also similar between the groups (HR: 14%; LR: 16%; p=0.57). Older age (> 60 years) and type of surgery (esophageal surgery) were associated with worse postoperative NRS scores. No significant association was seen between the intraoperative remifentanil dose and postoperative NRS scores following thoracoabdominal surgery with postoperative epidural pain management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vaso-occlusive pain leads to high acute care utilization among patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Data suggest that clinical pathways (CPWs) reduce variation in the management of vaso-occlusive pain and improve clinical outcomes. METHODS We implemented and evaluated a CPW for vaso-occlusive pain at our institution using a before and after study design. The primary objective was to decrease acute care utilization among patients with SCD, which was assessed by the primary outcome measures of hospital length of stay (LOS), 30-day readmission rate, and total hospitalizations annually per patient. Secondary outcome measures were packed red blood cell transfusions, and acute chest syndrome incidence. Patient-controlled analgesia use and promethazine use were assessed to estimate CPW use. RESULTS Three hundred fourty-four admissions in 112 patients were analyzed, of which 193 admissions occurred pre-CPW and 151 admissions occurred post-CPW implementation. Post-CPW implementation, we observed a significant decrease in hospital admissions annually per patient, an increase in patient-controlled analgesia use, and a decrease in intravenous promethazine use. We observed trends toward decreased 30-day readmission rate and increased acute chest syndrome incidence, which were not statistically significant. No effect was found on hospital LOS. CONCLUSIONS Clinical pathway implementation at our institution reduced variation in management and decreased hospital admissions for vaso-occlusive pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common complaint in patients following general anesthesia. Various antiemetics, including 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists, are effective but still have limited efficacy. Therefore, combination therapy is preferable to using a single drug alone in high-risk patients. We performed a comparative study on the antiemetic effect of palonosetron, a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, monotherapy vs palonosetron-midazolam combination therapy for the prevention of PONV. METHODS A total of 104 female patients scheduled for breast cancer surgery were enrolled. They were randomly divided into 2 groups, a palonosetron monotherapy group (group P) and palonosetron-midazolam combination therapy group (group PM). Both groups received 0.075 mg palonosetron intravenously after induction of anesthesia. Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) was applied according to the allocated group. Intravenous (IV)-PCA in group P consisted of fentanyl 20 μg/kg plus normal saline (total volume: 100 ml); IV-PCA in group PM consisted of fentanyl 20 μg/kg plus midazolam 4 mg plus normal saline (total volume: 100 ml). Efficacy parameters were collected during 0 to 1, 1 to 6, 6 to 24, and 24 to 48 hours postoperative time intervals. These measures included complete response (defined as no PONV and no rescue anti-emetic use) rate, incidence of PONV, sedation score, rescue antiemetic use, rescue analgesic use, and numerical rating scale (NRS) for pain. The complete response rate during the 0 to 24 hours interval was analyzed as the primary outcome. RESULTS Although the complete response rate between 0 and 24 hours was higher in group PM (42.3% and 48.1% in group P and PM, respectively), there was no statistically significant difference (P = .55). The complete response rates in other time intervals were not different between the 2 groups as well. The sedation score and NRS score also showed no differences between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS The combination therapy of palonosetron with midazolam did not lead to a greater reduction in the incidence of PONV than monotherapy in patients undergoing breast surgery and receiving IV-PCA containing fentanyl.

Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is very common in clinical settings, it is necessary to analyze the risk factors for POCD in elderly patients after laparoscopic surgery to provide insights into clinical surgery management.Elderly patients undergone laparoscopy between September 1, 2018 and March 31, 2020 were included. The mini-mental state examination (MMSE) scale was used to evaluate the POCD, and the characteristics and clinical data of patients with and without POCD were collected and compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze the potential influencing factors.A total of 572 patients with laparoscopic surgery were included. The incidence of POCD was 11.89%. There were significant differences in the history of cerebral infarction, preemptive analgesia, preoperative use of dexmedetomidine, general anesthesia combined with continuous epidural block, duration of surgery, low SpO2 during anesthesia induction, PaCO2 after pneumoperitoneum, postoperative PCEA and VAS score at the third day after operation (all P < .05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that history of cerebral infarction (OR3.12, 1.02∼5.13), low SpO2 during anesthesia induction (OR2.03, 1.19∼4.47), Longer duration of surgery (OR1.82, 1.01∼3.16) were risk factors for POCD in elderly patients with laparoscopic surgery, while postoperative PCEA (OR0.43, 0.01∼0.91), General anesthesia combined with continuous epidural block (OR0.59, 0.04∼0.87), preoperative use of dexmedetomidine (OR0.70, 0.08∼0.94) and preemptive analgesia (OR0.75, 0.13-0.90) were the protective factors for POCD in elderly patients with laparoscopic surgery.For the elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, the health care providers should be fully alert to the POCD based on those relevant factors.

Abstract
Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is a popular and efficacious form of postoperative pain relief that, however, is not without complications. Here we describe a 73-year-old Somalian male patient that underwent abdominal surgery and received intravenous morphine PCA for postoperative pain relief. Due to his inability to speak the native language, his son served as interpreter. On the day after surgery, the patient was found unresponsive by the nursing staff with an oxygen saturation of 91%. He was treated with naloxone and transferred to a medium care facility. The son indicated that he had operated the PCA system at regular intervals over the last 12 hours. The dangers of PCA and PCA by proxy in particular are discussed. In this case, the language barrier, and possibly cultural differences and health illiteracy may have contributed to the PCA by proxy.

Abstract
The influence of surgery and anesthesia on immune function during the perioperative period should not be neglected. In this study, we evaluated the effects of oxycodone combined with flurbiprofen axetil on postoperative analgesia and immune function in patients undergoing radical resection of colorectal cancer (CRC). One hundred and thirty-three were randomized into the oxycodone combined with flurbiprofen axetil (OF) group or the sufentanil combined with flurbiprofen axetil (SF) group. Patients in the OF group were prescribed oxycodone hydrochloride 0.1 mg/kg combined with flurbiprofen axetil 3 mg/kg for postoperative analgesia, whereas the SF group received sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg combined with flurbiprofen axetil 3 mg/kg. The primary outcome was visual analog scale (VAS) score. Secondary outcomes included the quantities of CD4+ , CD8+ , and natural killer (NK) T cells, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α level, and interleukin (IL)-6 in peripheral blood, the consumption of analgesics, and the incidence of adverse reactions, and so forth. The VAS scores at rest were similar in both group. However, the VAS scores at cough in the OF group at 8, 12, and 24 hours postsurgery were lower than those in the SF group. Compared with the SF group, the count of CD4+ T cells and ratio of CD4+ /CD8+ were higher in the OF group at 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours postsurgery, although the count of CD8+ and NK T cells was higher than that in the SF group at 48 and 72 hours postsurgery. In addition, the serum level of TNF-α and IL-6 at 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours postsurgery in the OF group was lower than that in the SF group. In addition, the incidence of postoperative nausea, postoperative vomiting, and pruritus was lower, the time to first flatus and bowel movement was earlier in the OF group. Oxycodone combined with flurbiprofen axetil applied for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia could effectively reduce pain intensity, particularly for visceral pain, and help to reverse the status of immunosuppression during radical resection of CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is one of the most popular and effective methods for managing postoperative pain. Various types of continuous infusion pumps are available for the safe and accurate administration of analgesic drugs. Here we report the causes and clinical outcomes of device-related errors in PCA. METHODS Clinical records from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2014 were collected by acute pain service team nurses in a 2715-bed tertiary hospital. Devices for all types of PCA, including intravenous PCA, epidural PCA, and nerve block PCA, were included for analysis. The following 4 types of infusion pumps were used during the study period: elastomeric balloon infusers, carbon dioxide-driven infusers, semielectronic disposable pumps, and electronic programmable pumps. We categorized PCA device-related errors based on the error mechanism and clinical features. RESULTS Among 82,698 surgical patients using PCA, 610 cases (0.74%) were reported as human error, and 155 cases (0.19%) of device-related errors were noted during the 4-year study period. The most common type of device-related error was underflow, which was observed in 47 cases (30.3%). The electronic programmable pump exhibited the high incidence of errors in PCA (70 of 15,052 patients; 0.47%; 95% confidence interval, 0.36-0.59) among the 4 types of devices, and 96 of 152 (63%) patients experienced some type of adverse outcome, ranging from minor symptoms to respiratory arrest. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of PCA device-related errors was <0.2% and significantly differed according to the infusion pump type. A total of 63% of patients with PCA device-related errors suffered from adverse clinical outcomes, with no mortality. Recent technological advances may contribute to reducing the incidence and severity of PCA errors. Nonetheless, the results of this study can be used to improve patient safety and ensure quality care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thoracic epidural analgesia is the preferred method for postoperative analgesia following thoracic surgery. However, intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IVPCA) may be an effective alternative. This study was conducted because few scientific reports exist comparing fentanyl-based IVPCA including a low dose of ketamine (fk-IVPCA) with thoracic patient-controlled epidural analgesia (t-PCEA) for the treatment of postoperative pain after video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). METHODS This prospective, and randomized study included 70 patients randomized into fk-IVPCA and t-PCEA groups. Pain at rest and during movement, successful and unsuccessful triggers after pressing the PCA device button, the need for rescue analgesia, drug-related adverse events, and patient satisfaction were recorded for 48 hours postoperatively. RESULTS No significant differences in the intensity of pain at rest or during movement were observed between the 2 groups within 48 hours postoperatively. The number of unsuccessful PCA triggers in the t-PCEA group 0 to 4 hours after surgery was significantly higher than that in the fk-IVPCA group. However, the numbers of successful PCA triggers in the fk-IVPCA group at 4 to 12 and 0 to 24 hours after surgery were significantly higher than those in the t-PCEA group. The incidence of analgesic-related side effects and patient satisfaction were similar in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Compared with t-PCEA, the addition of a subanesthetic dose of ketamine to fentanyl-based IVPCA resulted in similar pain control after VATS with no increase in the incidence of drug-related adverse effects. The results confirm that both multimodal intravenous analgesia and epidural analgesia can provide sufficient pain control and are safe strategies for treating acute post-thoracotomy pain.

Abstract
This study was designed to discuss the clinical effects of dexmedetomidine combined with oxycodone patient-controlled intravenous analgesia for patients with laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer. A total of 90 patients with rectal cancer undergoing laparoscopic radical resection surgery were selected. The patients were divided into A, B and C group using a random number table method, 30 cases in each group. Patients in group A received oxycodone (O) alone postoperatively; patients in group B received dexmedetomidine combined with oxycodone (DO) postoperatively; and patients in group C received dexmedetomidine (D) alone postoperatively. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score and Ramsay sedative score at 2h, 6h, 24h and 48h after surgery were evaluated, and the effective compressions number of controlled intravenous analgesia (CIA) was recorded. The occurrence of side effects including fever, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, dizziness, itchy skin, respiratory depression and other adverse reactions were noted. CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6 were detected by ELISA prior to surgery and on the morning of the 1st and the 3rd day after surgery, respectively. VAS scores in group B were lower than group A and C, the effective compressions number of CIA in group B was less than group A and C, the incidence of adverse reactions in group B was lower than group A and group C. The levels of CRP, TNF-α and IL-6 at 72h after surgery in group B were lower than group A and C. Dexmedetomidine combined with oxycodone has better sedative and analgesic effects with less adverse reactions, it can reduce the release of inflammatory cytokines of CRP, TNF-α and IL-6 in the body and has certain clinical application value.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Standardizing concentrations of intravenous infusions enables pre-preparation and is effective in improving patient safety by avoiding large deviations from the prescribed concentration that can occur when infusions are made individually in wards and theatres. The use of pre-prepared morphine standardized concentration infusions for paediatric nurse/patient-controlled analgesia (N/PCA) has not been previously investigated. We aimed to establish, implement and evaluate standardized concentrations of morphine in pre-filled syringes (PFS) for use in paediatric N/PCA. METHODS Concentrations of morphine in PFS for N/PCA were identified that accommodated dosage variation across a 1-50 kg weight range. The use of infusions in PFS was implemented and evaluated using mixed methods involved direct observation of healthcare professionals (HCPs), focus groups and failure mode and effects analysis, a HCP survey and medication incident reports analysis. RESULTS Standardized concentrations, 3 mg, 10 mg and 50 mg morphine in 50 mL sodium chloride 0.9%, delivered prescribed continuous and bolus doses using programmable smart pumps with variable infusion rates. During the implementation, 175 morphine pre-prepared infusions were administered to 157 children (9.4 ± 5.1 years) in theatres and wards. Time taken to set up a N/PCA was 3.7 ± 1.7 min, a reduction of one third compared with the previous system. The number of incidents associated with N/PCA infusions was reduced by 41.2%, and preparation errors were eliminated. HCPs reported using morphine PFS was an easier and safer system. CONCLUSION A system using pre-prepared standardized concentrations of morphine for paediatric N/PCA was implemented successfully and sustainably.

Abstract
To determine efficacy and safety of patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with tramadol and lornoxicam for postoperative analgesia, and its effects on surgical outcomes in patients following thoracotomy.The records of patients who underwent thoracotomy for lung resection between January 2014 and December 2014 at our institution were reviewed. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to postoperative pain treatment modalities. Patients of the patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) group (n = 63), received PCEA with 0.2% ropivacaine plus 0.5 μg/mL sufentanil, while patients in the PCIA group (n = 48), received PCIA with 5 mg/mL tramadol and 0.4 mg/mL lornoxicam. Data were collected for the quality of pain control, incidences of analgesia related side effects and pulmonary complications, lengths of thoracic intensive care unit stay and postoperative hospital stay, and in-hospital mortality.Pain at rest was always controlled well in both groups during the 4-day postoperative period. Patients in the PCIA group reported significantly higher pain scores on coughing and during mobilization in the first 2 postoperative days. The incidences of side effects and pulmonary complications, in-hospital mortality and other outcomes were similar between groups.PCIA with tramadol and lornoxicam can be considered as a safe and effective alternative with respect to pain control and postoperative outcomes for patients underwent thoracotomy.

Abstract
This study involved an audit and a survey of the Acute Pain Service at Princess Alexandra Hospital. It was found in the audit that the relative choice of epidural analgesia had declined by 50% over the five-year time period of 1998–2003. The survey of consultants showed that 82% of them had changed their practice and that they were performing fewer epidural anaesthetics. Two of the most common reasons given for this change in practice related to fear of litigation (34%) and lack of evidence (21%). These results show that within this department approaches to postoperative pain control had changed and that this appears to have resulted from factors such as the medicolegal environment and the possible influence of evidence based medicine.

Abstract
Patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) is used to maintain epidural analgesia following initial intrathecal analgesia. This trial investigated whether a continuous background infusion with PCEA provides superior analgesia to PCEA alone among patients who received combined spinal-epidural (CSE) analgesia during labour. Eighty parturients were randomized to either PCEA alone (PCEA) or PCEA with a background infusion of ropivacaine 0.15% with sufentanil 0.75 μg/ml at 2 ml/h (PCEA+CEI). PCEA settings were a bolus of 4 ml of the same analgesic solution with a lockout interval of 15 minutes. Significantly more patients in the PCEA group required at least one anaesthetist intervention for breakthrough pain (27 [71%] vs 10 [25%] in the PCEA+CEI group, P<0.05). Consumption of local anaesthetic (excluding manually administered boluses) was similar between the groups. If anaesthetist-administered boluses were included, more local anaesthetic was consumed by the PCEA group (47.1±19.4 mg vs 35.6±12.0 mg in the PCEA+CEI group, P<0.05). We conclude that PCEA with a background infusion provides effective analgesia with less anaesthetist workload and reduced local anaesthetic consumption as compared with PCEA without a background infusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IVPCA) with opioids and epidural analgesia (EA) using either continuous epidural administration (CEA) or patient-controlled (PCEA) techniques are popular approaches for analgesia following intra-abdominal surgery. Despite several attempts to compare the risks and benefits, the optimal form of analgesia for these procedures remains the subject of debate. OBJECTIVES The objective of this review was to update and expand a previously published Cochrane Review on IVPCA versus CEA for pain after intra-abdominal surgery with the addition of the comparator PCEA. We have compared both forms of EA to IVPCA. Where appropriate we have performed subgroup analysis for CEA versus PCEA. SEARCH METHODS We searched the following electronic databases for relevant studies: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (2017; Issue 8), MEDLINE (OvidSP) (1966 to September 2017), and Embase (OvidSP) (1988 to September 2017) using a combination of MeSH and text words. We searched the following trial registries: Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the EU Clinical Trials Register in September 2017, together with reference checking and citation searching to identify additional studies.We included only randomized controlled trials and used no language restrictions. SELECTION CRITERIA We included all parallel and cross-over randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing CEA or PCEA (or both) with IVPCA for postoperative pain relief in adults following intra-abdominal surgery. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors (JS and EY) independently identified studies for eligibility and performed data extraction using a data extraction form. In cases of disagreement (three occasions) a third review author (MB) was consulted. We appraised each included study to assess the risk of bias as outlined in Section 8.5 of the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. We used GRADE to assess the quality of the evidence. MAIN RESULTS We included 32 studies (1716 participants) in our review. There are 10 studies awaiting classification and one ongoing study. A total of 869 participants (51%) received EA and 847 (49%) received IVPCA. The EA trials included 16 trials with CEA (418 participants) and 16 trials with PCEA (451 participants). The studies included a broad range of surgical procedures (including hysterectomies, radical prostatectomies, Caesarean sections, colorectal and upper gastrointestinal procedures), a wide range of adult ages, and were performed in several different countries.Our pooled analyses suggested a benefit with regard to pain scores (using a visual analogue scale between 0 and 100) in favour of EA techniques at rest. The mean pain reduction at rest from waking to six hours after operation was 5.7 points (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.9 to 9.5; 7 trials, 384 participants; moderate-quality evidence). From seven to 24 hours, the mean pain reduction was 9.0 points (95% CI 4.6 to 13.4; 11 trials, 558 participants; moderate-quality evidence). From 24 hours the mean pain reduction was 5.1 points (95% CI 0.9 to 9.4; 7 trials, 393 participants; moderate-quality evidence). Due to high statistical heterogeneity, no pooled analysis was possible for the estimation of pain on movement at any time. Two single studies (one using CEA and one PCEA) reported lower pain scores with EA compared to IVPCA at 0 to 6 hours and 7 to 24 hours. At > 24 hours the results from 2 studies (both CEA) were conflicting.We found no difference in mortality between EA and IVPCA, although the only deaths reported were in the EA group (5/287, 1.7%). The risk ratio (RR) of death with EA compared to using IVPCA was 3.37 (95% CI 0.72 to 15.88; 9 trials, 560 participants; low-quality evidence).A single study suggested that the use of EA may result in fewer episodes of respiratory depression, with an RR of 0.47 (95% CI 0.04 to 5.69; 1 trial; low-quality evidence). The successful placement of an epidural catheter can be technically challenging. The improvements in pain scores above were accompanied by an increase in the risk of failure of the analgesic technique with EA (RR 2.48, 95% CI 1.13 to 5.45; 10 trials, 678 participants; moderate-quality evidence); the occurrence of pruritus (RR 2.36, 95% CI 1.67 to 3.35; 8 trials, 492 participants; moderate-quality evidence); and episodes of hypotension requiring intervention (RR 7.13, 95% CI 2.87 to 17.75; 6 trials, 479 participants; moderate-quality evidence). There was no clear evidence of an advantage of one technique over another for other adverse effects considered in this review (Venous thromboembolism with EA (RR 0.32, 95% CI 0.03 to 2.95; 2 trials, 101 participants; low-quality evidence); nausea and vomiting (RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.69 to 1.27; 10 trials, 645 participants; moderate-quality evidence); sedation requiring intervention (RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.40 to 1.87; 4 trials, 223 participants; moderate-quality evidence); or episodes of desaturation to less than 90% (RR 1.29, 95% CI 0.71 to 2.37; 5 trials, 328 participants; moderate-quality evidence)). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS The additional pain reduction at rest associated with the use of EA rather than IVPCA is modest and unlikely to be clinically important. Single-trial estimates provide low-quality evidence that there may be an additional reduction in pain on movement, which is clinically important. Any improvement needs to be interpreted with the understanding that the use of EA is also associated with an increased chance of failure to successfully institute analgesia, and an increased likelihood of episodes of hypotension requiring intervention and pruritus. We have rated the evidence as of moderate quality given study limitations in most of the contributing studies. Further large RCTs are required to determine the ideal analgesic technique. The 10 studies awaiting classification may alter the conclusions of the review once assessed.

Abstract
Background Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common adverse effect of opioid-based intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA). Nefopam has been considered as a good candidate for inclusion in multimodal analgesia because of its opioid sparing effect, but it can be emetic. This study aims to examine whether the use of nefopam combined with fentanyl in IV PCA was associated with the higher incidence of PONV in patients receiving prophylactic ramosetron after gynecological surgery. Methods Data from 296 patients who underwent gynecological surgery were retrospectively reviewed. The patients received IV PCA containing either fentanyl 1500 μg and ketorolac 90 mg (Group K) or fentanyl 1500 μg and nefopam 80 mg (Group N). All patients in both groups received 0.3 mg of ramosetron at the end of surgery. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of PONV during the 3-day postoperative period. Results No difference was observed in the incidence of PONV during the 3-day postoperative period between the two groups. However, the incidence of nausea on postoperative day 2 was significantly higher in Group N (10.3%) than in Group K (2.8%) (P = 0.016). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the use of nefopam was not associated with a higher incidence of PONV (adjusted odds ratio, 1.616; 95% confidence interval, 0.952–2.743, P = 0.076). There were no differences in postoperative pain scores between the two groups. Conclusion The combined use of nefopam with fentanyl in IV PCA was not associated with the higher incidence of PONV compared with the use of ketorolac and fentanyl combination in patients who received ramosetron as PONV prophylactic agent. However, prospective trials are required for a confirmative conclusion.

Abstract
Background The preemptive multimodal pain protocols used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) often cause emesis postoperatively. We investigated whether palonosetron prophylaxis reduces postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in high-risk patients after TKA. Methods We randomized 120 female patients undergoing TKA to receive either palonosetron (0.075 mg, intravenous) or no antiemetic prophylaxis (0.9% saline, control group). All patients were given spinal anesthesia, a continuous femoral nerve block, and fentanyl-based intravenous patient controlled analgesia. Patients undergoing staged bilateral TKA were assigned to one group for the first knee and the other group for the second knee. The overall incidence of PONV, the incidences of both nausea and vomiting, severity of nausea, complete response, requirement for rescue antiemetics, pain level, opioid consumption, and satisfaction scores were evaluated during three periods: 0–2, 2–24, and 24–48 h postoperatively. We also compared PONV and pain between the first and second TKA. Results The incidence of PONV during the first 48 h was lower in the palonosetron group compared with the controls (22 vs. 41%, p = 0.028), especially 2–24 h after surgery, as was the nausea and vomiting respectively. The severity of nausea was lower in the palonosetron group (p = 0.010). The complete response rate (93 vs. 73%, p = 0.016) and satisfaction score (84 ± 12 vs. 79 ± 15, p = 0.032) were higher in the palonosetron group during 2–24 h after surgery. Patients who underwent a second operation complained of more severe pain, and consumed more opioids than those of the first operation. There was no difference in the incidence of PONV between the first and second operations. Conclusions Palonosetron prophylaxis reduced the incidence and severity of PONV in high-risk patients managed with multimodal pain protocol for 48 h, notably 2–24 h after TKA.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the incidences of leakage from the catheter insertion site during continuous femoral nerve block when using the catheter-through-needle, Contiplex Touhy™ (CT) and the newly developed catheter-over-needle, Contiplex C™ (CC). Forty adult patients who were scheduled to undergo continuous femoral nerve block for pain control following knee surgery were enrolled and were randomly assigned to a CT group or a CC group. After finishing surgery, a catheter for continuous femoral nerve block was placed using ultrasound. A catheter was advanced along the femoral nerve 5-6 cm beyond the needle tip. Then 0.25% levobupivacaine was continuously administered at a rate of 5 ml/h until 9:00 am on postoperative day 1. The incidence of leakage of the local anesthetic from the insertion site in the CT group was significantly higher than that in the CC group. In the CT group, leakage from the catheter insertion site was observed in 11 of 20 patients during the observation period. On the other hand, none of the patients in the CC group showed leakage. Contiplex C™ is more effective than Contiplex Touphy™ for prevention of leakage of local anesthetics from the insertion site during continuous femoral nerve block.

Abstract
BACKGROUND TKA pain management protocols vary widely with no current consensus on a standardized pain management regimen. Multimodal TKA pain management protocols aim to address pain control, facilitate functional recovery, and maintain patient satisfaction. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) Did changes to our pain management protocol, specifically adding liposomal bupivacaine, eliminating patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), and discontinuing femoral nerve blocks (FNBs), affect narcotic consumption after TKA? (2) Did these changes to our pain management protocols affect patient-reported pain scores? (3) Does the use of an immediate postoperative PCA affect rapid rehabilitation and functional recovery? (4) How did changes to our pain management regimen affect discharge disposition and pain-related Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores? METHODS We retrospectively analyzed an institutional arthroplasty database between September 2013 and September 2015 containing 1808 patients who underwent primary TKA. Departmental pain management protocols were compared in 6-month periods as the protocol changed. All patients received a multimodal pain management protocol including preoperative oral medications, spinal or general anesthesia, a short-acting intraoperative pericapsular injection, and continued postoperative oral narcotics for breakthrough pain. From September 2013 to April 2014, all patients received an intraoperative FNB and a PCA for the first 24 hours postoperatively (Cohort 1). From May 2014 to October 2014, a periarticular injection of liposomal bupivacaine was added to the protocol and FNBs were discontinued (Cohort 2). After April 2015, PCA was eliminated (Cohort 3). No other major changes were made to the TKA pain management pathways. Narcotic use, pain scores on 8-hour intervals, physical therapy milestones, and discharge disposition were compared. RESULTS Total narcotic use was the least in Cohort 3 (Cohort 3: 66 ± 54 morphine milligram equivalents versus Cohort 2: 82 ± 72 versus Cohort 1: 96 ± 62; p < 0.001). There was an increase in pain score immediately after surgery in Cohort 3 (4.0 ± 3.5 versus 1.2 ± 2.2 versus 1.2 ± 2.5, post hoc analysis of Cohort 2 versus 3: mean difference 2.6, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.2-3.0; p < 0.001); however, it was not different for the remainder of the hospital stay. Patients who did not receive PCA reached functional milestones for both gait and stairs faster by postoperative day 1 (47% [328 of 698] versus 30% [158 of 527] versus 16% [93 of 583], p < 0.001; Cohort 3 versus 2: odds ratio 2.1, 95% CI 1.6-2.6; p < 0.001). Discharge to home occurred more frequently (84% [583 of 698] versus 78% [410 of 527] versus 72% [421 of 583], p = 0.010) in Cohort 3. There were no differences in pain-related HCAHPS scores across all cohorts. CONCLUSIONS Discontinuing PCAs and FNBs from our multimodal TKA pain management protocols and adding liposomal bupivacaine resulted in fewer narcotics consumed with no difference in pain control and faster functional recovery while maintaining high HCAHPS scores relating to pain. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract
PURPOSE Continuous epidural infusion and programmed intermittent epidural boluses are analgesic techniques routinely used for pain relief in laboring women. We aimed to assess both techniques and compare them with respect to labor analgesia and obstetric outcomes. METHODS After Institutional Review Board approval, 132 laboring women aged between 18 and 45 years were randomized to epidural analgesia of 10 mL of a mixture of 0.1% bupivacaine plus 2 µg/mL of fentanyl either by programmed intermittent boluses or continuous infusion (66 per group). Primary outcome was quality of analgesia. Secondary outcomes were duration of labor, total drug dose used, maternal satisfaction, sensory level, motor block level, presence of unilateral motor block, hemodynamics, side effects, mode of delivery, and newborn outcome. RESULTS Patients in the programmed intermittent epidural boluses group received statistically less drug dose than those with continuous epidural infusion (24.9 vs 34.4 mL bupivacaine; P = 0.01). There was no difference between groups regarding pain control, characteristics of block, hemodynamics, side effects, and Apgar scores. CONCLUSIONS Our study evidenced a lower anesthetic consumption in the programmed intermittent boluses group with similar labor analgesic control, and obstetric and newborn outcomes in both groups.

Abstract
Nausea and vomiting are probably the most unpleasant side effects that occur when morphine used. A number of studies have investigated the effect on pain relief of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in morphine's metabolism, distribution, binding, and cellular action. The mechanism through which morphine causes nausea and vomiting has not been elucidated clearly. We examined all the reported SNPs which are associated with the complications of morphine, including SNPs in genes for phase I and phase II metabolic enzymes, ABC binding cassette drug transporters, κ and δ opioid receptors, and ion channels implicated in the postreceptor action of morphine.A prospective, observational study in 129 female patients was conducted to investigate the effect of 14 SNPs on nausea or vomiting induced by intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IVPCA) with morphine after gynecology surgery. Clinical phenotype, subjective complaints, and objective observations were recorded. DNA from blood samples was used to record the SNPs. Eleven SNPs were then analyzed further.No significant association with the presence of phenotype (nausea or vomiting) versus genotype was observed (all P > .05). No significant association with severity of phenotype versus genotype of the 11 SNPs was observed except for unadjusted data for rs2737703.There was no significant difference between severity or incidence of IVPCA morphine-induced nausea and vomiting and genotype (11 SNPs). Further study should perhaps be focused on mRNA and proteinomics rather than SNPs.

Abstract
The effect of pethidine as patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) on specific biochemical components in breast milk in relation to the timing of secretory activation is not well investigated. The aim of this study was to compare biochemical timing of secretory activation between women who had a vaginal (V) or Caesarean birth with pethidine-PCEA (CBP). Several milk samples were collected daily from 36 mothers (17 V, 19 CBP) for the first 265 h post-partum. Protein and lactose concentrations and Na+ and K+ ion levels were measured. Samples were assigned to three time periods: 0-72, >72-165 and >165-265 h post-partum for statistical analyses. Data were analyzed using linear mixed effect models. In the first 72 h post-partum, the mean difference in lactose concentration was 5 gL-1 higher in group V (P < 0.05). From >72-165 h post-partum, protein and Na+ concentrations were lower in group V (P = 0.05, P = 0.02), and K+ levels were higher in group V (P < 0.001). From >165-265 h post-partum, there were no significant differences between the groups. Biochemically, secretory activation had occurred by 72 h post-partum in both groups. There were greater variations in measured biochemical components observed within group CBP initially. However, by 165 h post-partum, there were no differences in the biochemical components between the groups. This suggests that effects of pethidine-PCEA are diminished by 72 h post-partum and undetected by 165 h.

Abstract
Background Administering nurse/patient controlled analgesia (N/PCA) to children requires complex dose calculations and multiple manipulations to prepare morphine solutions in 50 mL syringes for administration by continuous infusion with additional boluses. Objective To investigate current practice and accuracy during preparation of morphine N/PCA infusions in hospital theatres and wards at a UK children's hospital. Methods Direct observation of infusion preparation methods and morphine concentration quantification using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The British Pharmacopoeia specification for morphine sulphate injection drug content (±7.5 %) was used as a reference limit. Results Preparation of 153 morphine infusions for 128 paediatric patients was observed. Differences in preparation method were identified, with selection of inappropriate syringe size noted. Lack of appreciation of the existence of a volume overage (i.e. volume in excess of the nominal volume) in morphine ampoules was identified. Final volume of the infusion was greater than the target (50 mL) in 33.3 % of preparations. Of 78 infusions analysed, 61.5 % had a morphine concentration outside 92.5-107.5 % of label strength. Ten infusions deviated by more than 20 %, with one by 100 %. Conclusions Variation in morphine infusion preparation method was identified. Lack of appreciation of the volume overage in ampoules, volumetric accuracy of different syringe sizes and ability to perform large dilutions of small volumes were sources of inaccuracy in infusion concentration, resulting in patients receiving morphine doses higher or lower than prescribed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pain is a major disease burden after surgery. Patient-controlled analgesia has been wide used for pain management in surgical patients, yet, large-scaled studies are lacking to assess its impact on the prognosis of patients. METHODS We prospectively enrolled patients who underwent major abdominal surgeries receiving patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and who received non-PCA for assessment of 60-day mortality, major postoperative complications using electronic medical chart system. Pain intensity was also assessed with visual analogue scale from postoperative day 1 to day 7, chronic post-surgical pain was assessed by telephone follow-up using numerical rating scale. RESULTS In total, 12,015 patients were included in the primary analysis. At the end of the follow-up, 1185 patients were lost to follow-up. Patients in the non-PCA group reported increased incidence of moderate-to-severe pain on postoperative day 3 (6.5% versus 9.6%, P<0.001). Patients receiving non-PCA had increased mortalities on postoperative 60-day (1.02% versus 0.47%, P<0.001). The survival probability of patients in PCA group was statistically higher than those in non-PCA group (99.52% [95% CI: 99.34-99.70%] versus 98.97% [95% CI: 98.73-99.92%]). Patient receiving non-PCA reported increased in-hospital major complications compared with (2.7% versus 1.9 %, P=0.003). Pain intensity was also assessed with visual analogue scale from postoperative day 1 to day 7, chronic post-surgical pain was assessed by telephone follow-up using numerical rating scale. CONCLUSIONS Intravenous patient-controlled analgesia was related to improved survival, less complications and chronic post-surgical pain after major abdominal surgery, reiterating the important role of pain management for the prognosis of patients who underwent surgery.

Abstract
We compared the efficacy of preoperative intramuscular lornoxicam and ketoprofen for post-operative analgesia in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study investigated 60 patients who received lornoxicam (group L, 8 mg), ketoprofen (group K, 100 mg) or saline (group C) 60 min before standard anaesthesia. All patients received patient-controlled analgesia (intravenous morphine) during the post-operative period. Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores recorded 2, 4, 6 and 12 h after surgery in groups L and K patients were significantly lower than in group C patients, and VAS scores at 2, 4 and 6 h in group L patients were significantly lower than those in group K patients. Morphine consumption in groups L and K was significantly lower than in group C. Pre-emptive administration of lornoxicam and ketoprofen effectively reduced post-operative pain and morphine consumption, and lornoxicam was more effective than ketoprofen in the early post-operative period.

Abstract
In this retrospective analysis of 10,575 patients who used fentanyl-based intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) after surgery, we evaluated difference between young and elderly patients on their characteristic of adverse effects.We reviewed the data collected from the patients who were provided IV-PCA for pain control following elective surgery under either general or spinal anesthesia between September 2010 and March 2014. Postoperative pain, incidence of PCA-related adverse effects, and risk factors for the need of rescue analgesics and antiemetics for postoperative 48 hours were analyzed.Pain intensity (numerical rating scale [NRS]) at postoperative 6 to 12 hours (4.68 vs 4.58, P < 0.01) and incidence of nausea or vomiting (23.8% vs 20.6%, P < 0.001) were higher in young patients, while incidence of PCA discontinuation (9.9% vs 11.5%, P < 0.01) and sedation (0.1% vs 0.7%, P < 0.001) was higher in elderly patients. Despite larger fentanyl dose used, a greater proportion of young patients required rescue analgesics (53.8% vs 47.9%, P < 0.001) while addition of ketorolac was effective in reducing postoperative pain. Despite lower incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), a larger proportion of elderly patients required rescue antiemetics (10.1% vs 12.2%, P < 0.001) while addition of ramosetron was effective in reducing PONV.In conclusion, when fentanyl-based IV-PCA is used for postoperative pain control, a larger proportion of young patients may require rescue analgesics while elderly patients may require more rescue antiemetics. The addition of ketorolac or ramosetron to the PCA of young and elderly patients can be effective to prevent rescue analgesics or antiemetics use.

Abstract
Many drugs can cause neuromuscular blockade. Clindamycin-related neuromuscular blockade is commonly reported, but fatal clindamycin-induced neuromuscular blockade is rarely reported. We describe a 47-year-old woman who initially presented with endometrial carcinoma. She underwent a laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) and bilateral adnexectomy under general anesthesia, secondary to antibiotic treatment with clindamycin 1.2g in 250 mL for about 30 minutes through the peripheral intravenous route during postoperative patient controlled analgesia (PCA). She became unconscious near the end of the infusion, then, despite resuscitation attempts, she died. Clindamycin appeared to have triggered delayed respiratory depression during PCA. A combination of clindamycin and fentanyl led to her respiratory depression in the fatal case.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) of dezocine combined with sufentanil in burn patients after escharectomy or tangential excision followed by autologous skin grafting. METHODS Sixty burn patients hospitalized in Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of our hospital from February 2011 to December 2013, conforming to the study criteria and going to have escharectomy or tangential excision followed by autologous skin grafting, were divided into sufentanil group (S, n = 30) and dezocine+sufentanil group (DS, n = 30) according to the random number table. Patients in group S were given 150 mL normal saline containing 2.5 µg/kg sufentanil citrate and 6 mg tropisetron after skin grafting for 48 hours. Patients in group DS were given 150 mL normal saline containing 0.25 mg/kg dezocine, 1.5 µg/kg sufentanil citrate, and 6 mg tropisetron for 48 hours. Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Bruggrmann Comfort Scale (BCS), and Ramsay Sedation Scale were used to evaluate the sedative effect or analgesic effect, and their scores were recorded at administration hour (AH) 2, 6, 12, 24, and 48. The times of efficient injection and incidence of adverse effect within the 48 AH were recorded. Data were processed with analysis of variance for repeated measurement, t test, chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. RESULTS There were no obvious differences in the scores of VAS and BCS between two groups at each time point (with t values from -0.426 to 0.864, P values above 0.05). The scores of Ramsay Sedation Scale in group S at AH 2, 6, 12, 24, and 48 were respectively (3.2 ± 0.6), (3.2 ± 0.5), (3.3 ± 0.7), (3.2 ± 0.4), and (3.3 ± 0.4) points, which were higher than those in group DS [(2.4 ± 0.6), (2.5 ± 0.5), (2.4 ± 0.6), (2.4 ± 0.4), and (2.4 ± 0.5) points, with t values from 5.302 to 8.391, P values below 0.001]. The times of efficient injection within the 48 AH was 6.8 ± 0.7 in group S and 6.5 ± 0.9 in group DS, showing no significantly statistical difference (t = 1.260, P > 0.05). Respiratory depression was not observed in both groups; the incidence of pruritus was the same, and that of urine retention was similar between the 2 groups within the 48 AH (with P values above 0.05). Within the 48 AH, the incidence of nausea and vomiting in group S was 26.7% (8/30), which was obviously higher than that in group DS (6.7%, 2/30, P < 0.05); the incidence of drowsiness in group S was 20.0% (6/30), which was significantly higher than that in group DS (no patient, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Dezocine combined with sufentanil can provide effective postoperative analgesia with little adverse effect for PCIA in burn patients after escharectomy or tangential excision followed by autologous skin grafting, therefore it can be widely used.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting as well as postoperative pain are two major concerns when patients undergo surgery and receive anesthetics. Various models and predictive methods have been developed to investigate the risk factors of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and different types of preventive managements have subsequently been developed. However, there continues to be a wide variation in the previously reported incidence rates of postoperative nausea and vomiting. This may have occurred because patients were assessed at different time points, coupled with the overall limitation of the statistical methods used. However, using survival analysis with Cox regression, and thus factoring in these time effects, may solve this statistical limitation and reveal risk factors related to the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in the following period. METHODS In this retrospective, observational, uni-institutional study, we analyzed the results of 229 patients who received patient-controlled epidural analgesia following surgery from June 2007 to December 2007. We investigated the risk factors for the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and also assessed the effect of evaluating patients at different time points using the Cox proportional hazards model. Furthermore, the results of this inquiry were compared with those results using logistic regression. RESULTS The overall incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in our study was 35.4%. Using logistic regression, we found that only sex, but not the total doses and the average dose of opioids, had significant effects on the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting at some time points. Cox regression showed that, when patients consumed a higher average dose of opioids, this correlated with a higher incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting with a hazard ratio of 1.286. CONCLUSION Survival analysis using Cox regression showed that the average consumption of opioids played an important role in postoperative nausea and vomiting, a result not found by logistic regression. Therefore, the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients cannot be reliably determined on the basis of a single visit at one point in time.

Abstract
PURPOSE We evaluated the incidence and risk factors of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients with fentanyl-based intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) and single antiemetic prophylaxis of 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5 HT₃)-receptor antagonist after the general anesthesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, incidence and risk factors for PONV were evaluated with fentanyl IV-PCA during postoperative 48 hours after various surgeries. RESULTS Four hundred-forty patients (23%) of 1878 had showed PONV. PCA was discontinued temporarily in 268 patients (14%), mostly due to PONV (88% of 268 patients). In multivariate analysis, female, non-smoker, history of motion sickness or PONV, long duration of anesthesia (>180 min), use of desflurane and intraoperative remifentanil infusion were independent risk factors for PONV. If one, two, three, four, five, or six of these risk factors were present, the incidences of PONV were 18%, 19%, 22%, 31%, 42%, or 50%. Laparoscopic surgery and higher dose of fentanyl were not risk factors for PONV. CONCLUSION Despite antiemetic prophylaxis with 5 HT₃-receptor antagonist, 23% of patients with fentanyl-based IV-PCA after general anesthesia showed PONV. Long duration of anesthesia and use of desflurane were identified as risk factors, in addition to risk factors of Apfel's score (female, non-smoker, history of motion sickness or PONV). Also, intraoperative remifentanil infusion was risk factor independent of postoperative opioid use. As the incidence of PONV was up to 50% according to the number of risk factors, risk-adapted, multimodal or combination therapy should be applied.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Use of thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) in laparoscopic colorectal surgery is still controversial. Previous clinical trials have conflicting findings in terms of bowel function return, length of hospital stay and postoperative complications. This meta-analysis aims to assess the effect of TEA on clinical outcomes of laparoscopic colorectal surgery compared with patient controlled analgesia (PCA). METHODOLOGY Randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) compared the effect of thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) and patient controlled analgesia (PCA) on outcomes of laparoscopic colorectal surgery was searched. The effects on pain relief, bowel function return, length of hospital stay and post-operative complications were compared. RESULTS Seven RCTs were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with PEA, TEA contributed significantly lower visual analog scale (VAS) or verbal rate scale (VRS) pain score during the initial period after surgery. No significant difference was observed in time to return of bowel function and length of hospital stay between the two groups. TEA group was associated with lower risk in nausea and vomiting, but with similar risk in urinary retention, urinary tract infection, wound infection, ileus and anastomotic leakage compared with PCA group. CONCLUSIONS Use of epidural analgesia in laparoscopic colorectal surgery helps to provide better pain alleviation during the initial period after operation. This benefit is not at the expense of increased risks of any major complications, or significantly longer hospital stay. No significant benefits in return of bowel function were observed.
