Objective — To observe the effects of ropivacaine combined with ketorolac transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery. Methods — 90 ASAⅠorⅡpatients, aged 18-65 years and weighting 40-80 kg, scheduled for gynecological laparoscopic surgery were recruited and divided into three groups using random number table:ropivacaine combined with ketorolac 15 mg/side for TAP block (KR group), ropivacaine for TAP block and 30 mg preoperatively intravenous ketorolac (KIVR group) and ropivacaine for TAP block alone (R group) with 30 patients in each group. Intraoperative opioid consumption, Bruggrmann comfort scale (BCS) scores at 2h (T1), 4h (T2), 8h (T3), 12h (T4), 16h (T5), 24h (T6) after surgery were recorded. Adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, local anesthetic poisoning, gastrointestinal bleeding, and complications related to TAP block operation were recorded. Results — The total consumpsion of sufentanil was higher in the R group than that in the KIVR group and KR group (P < 0.05). The total dosage of remifentanil in R group was higher than that in KR group (P < 0.05). The BCS scores of the three groups at T3, T4, T5 and T6 were lower in R group than that in KR group (P < 0.05) while R Group was lower than KIVR group at T3 and T4 (P < 0.05), and KIVR group was lower than KR group at T5 and T6. There was no statistically differences in BCS score between the three groups at T1 and T2 (P > 0.05). No statistical differences in the incidence of adverse reactions among all groups were observed. Conclusion — Ropivacaine combined with ketolorac transverse abdominisplane block reduced the intraoperative opioid consumption, improved postoperative comfort score and do not increased the incidence of adverse reactions in gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

Background: Dexamethasone has a long and efficient glucocorticoid structure and presents anti-inflammatory properties. When used as an adjuvant to local anaesthetics, it prolongs the duration of analgesia. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of dexamethasone as an adjuvant to levobupivacaine in TAP block given to patients who underwent caesarean section. Materials & Methods: 70 patients posted for caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia were included in the study and divided into two groups. Group A received bilateral 30 ml 0.25% levobupivacaine and 2 ml dexamethasone(8mg). Group B received bilateral 30 ml 0.25% levobupivacaine and 2 ml 0.9% NaCl in a TAP block performed with ultrasonography. The time needed for the first rescue analgesia in the postoperative period was recorded. 24hr tramadol consumption & VAS was recorded. Results: Time for first analgesic administration (tramadol) was prolonged significantly in Group A (mean ± SD- 12.24 ± 1.22hrs) as compared to Group B (mean ± SD ‑ 8.37± 1.07 hrs), P < 0.0001. Tramadol requirement for 24hrs in Group A was 115.71± 16.89 mg and for Group B was 198.57± 22.64 mg, which was statistically significant (P < 0.0001). VAS was noted at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18 and 24 h. VAS was greatly reduced in group A for the first 8–10 h post‑operatively as compared to patients in group B. CONCLUSIONS: Dexamethasone when used as an adjuvant to levobupivacaine in TAP block, enhances the duration of block & decreases opioid consumption in the post- caesarean section patients.

Background: Patients undergoing periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) may experience significant postoperative pain due to the extensive approach and multiple osteotomies. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block on reducing opioid consumption and improving clinical outcome in PAO patients. Patients and Methods: We conducted a two-group randomized-controlled trial in 42 consecutive patients undergoing a PAO for symptomatic developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The study group received an ultrasound-guided TAP block with 20 mL of 0.75% ropivacaine prior to surgery. The control group did not receive a TAP block. All patients received a multimodal analgesia with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) (etoricoxib and metamizole) and an intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with piritramide (1.5 mg bolus, 10 min lockout-time). The primary endpoint was opioid consumption within 48 h after surgery. Secondary endpoints were pain scores, assessment of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), measurement of the quality of recovery using patient-reported outcome measure and length of hospital stay. Forty-one patients (n = 21 TAP block group, n = 20 control group) completed the study, per protocol. One patient was lost to follow-up. Thirty-three were women (88.5%) and eight men (19.5%). The mean age at the time of surgery was 28 years (18–43, SD ± 7.4). All TAP blocks were performed by an experienced senior anaesthesiologist and all operations were performed by a single, high volume surgeon. Results: The opioid consumption in the TAP block group was significantly lower compared to the control group at 6 (3 mg ± 2.8 vs. 10.8 mg ± 5.6, p < 0.0001), 24 (18.4 ± 16.2 vs. 30.8 ± 16.4, p = 0.01) and 48 h (29.1 mg ± 30.7 vs. 54.7 ± 29.6, p = 0.04) after surgery. Pain scores were significantly reduced in the TAP block group at 24 h after surgery. There were no other differences in secondary outcome parameters. No perioperative complication occurred in either group. Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided TAP block significantly reduces the perioperative opioid consumption in patients undergoing PAO.

Objective This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of granisetron plus dexamethasone for preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Methods We searched the literature in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, and CNKI. Results In total, 11 randomized controlled trials were enrolled in this analysis. The meta-analysis showed that granisetron in combination with dexamethasone was significantly more effective than granisetron alone in preventing PONV in patients undergoing laparoscopy surgery. No significant differences in adverse reactions (dizziness and headache) were found in association with dexamethasone. Conclusion Granisetron in combination with dexamethasone was significantly more effective than granisetron alone in preventing PONV in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, with no difference in adverse reactions between the two groups. Granisetron alone or granisetron plus dexamethasone can be used to prevent PONV in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.

Background: In perioperative care, a reliable pain management is a vital appeal. Over recent years, Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block is introduced as an important component of multimodal analgesia.Objective: To evaluate efficacy of TAP block in postoperative analgesia for Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH) with subarachnoid block (SAB) in comparison of morphine consumption and VAS score.Methods: 60 patients were randomly allocated into 2 groups (TAP group-A & control group-B). Standard SAB was applied to all patients for elective TAH. Immediate after operation classical TAP block was performed through both Lumber Triangle Of Petit (LTOP) of group A patients. Both groups were placed in Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), arranged a common standard postoperative analgesic regimen for all, observed periodically and documented it accordingly in pre-designed data sheet.Results: TAP block prolonged the mean time of 1st required I/V morphine (TAP vs control, mean±SD 271.23±40.34 vs 195.33±22.16 min., p=0.001HS). Morphine requirement was also reduced (17.4±5.4 vs 26.2±4.4 mg, p=0.001HS). Pain VAS scores at rest and movement were also reduced at all time period (p? 0.01 to 0.001). There was no complication attributed to the TAP block.Conclusion: TAP block provided considerably effective postoperative analgesia in first 24 hours after major abdominal surgery like TAH.Journal of Bangladesh Society of Anaesthesiologists 2014; 27(1): 3-11

Abstract Background Although regional techniques have been suggested more in order to provide postoperative analgesia in inguinal hernia repairs, the ideal method is still controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of preemptive transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block, local anesthetic infiltration (LAI) and intravenous dexketoprofen (IVD) on postoperative pain in inguinal hernia repairs. Methods This prospective study included 120 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists status 1-3 between 18-75 years of age who undergoing elective inguinal hernia surgery under spinal anesthesia. The patients were allocated into three groups: USG-guided TAP block (Group 1, n = 40), USG-guided LAI (Group 2, n = 40) and IVD (Group 3, n = 40) before surgical incision. The mean of tramadol consumption, number of patients in requiring rescue analgesics, duration of postoperative analgesia and complications were recorded for 24 hours postoperatively. VAS scores were evaluated at the 30 minute, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 24th hours. Results There was no significant difference between the postoperative mean tramadol consumption [Group 1: 22.5 mg; Group 2: 20 mg; Group 3: 27.5 (p 0.833)]. The number of patients requiring rescue analgesics was statistically similar (p 0.787). VAS scores at 30. min, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours were statistically lower in Group 1 than in the other groups (p 0.003, 007, 0013, 0049, 0015, 0021). VAS scores at 30. min and 2. h were lower in Group 1 than Group 2 (p 0.049, 0.037). İn addition, VAS scores at 30 min, 1, 2, 8 and 12 hours were lower in Group 1 than in Group 3 (p 0.003, 0.006, 0.021, 0.017, 0.016). VAS scores at all hours were statistically similar between Group 2 and Group 3. Conclusion This study demonsrated that preemptive transversus abdominis plane block, local anesthetic infiltration or iv dexketoprofen for postoperative analgesia in inguinal hernia repairs had similar effects on postoperative tramadol consumption and number of requiring rescue analgesic patients. However, TAP block provides lower VAS values and excellent analgesia in more patients in the first 24 hours postoperatively.

Abstract Background: To compare the efficacy and safety of different compatibility schemes in the prevention of visceral pain after gynecological laparoscopic surgery. Methods: from April 2019 to April 2020, patients undergoing elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery in our hospital were randomly divided into four groups: group A: sufentanil 3 μ g / kg; group B: low-dose nalbuphine group: 0.1 mg / kg of nabufen + 3 μ g / kg of sufentanil; group C: medium dose of nabufen group: 1 mg / kg of nabufen + 2 μ g / kg of sufentanil; group D: high-dose nabufen 2 There were 30 cases in each group. The degree of pain and the number of adverse reactions at 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours after operation were observed and recorded. The number and dosage of morphine used as a remedial analgesic were recorded. The pain degree was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS). The total amount of analgesic pump used, the total number of times of pressing and the effective times of pressing were recorded. The adverse reactions included respiratory depression, nausea and vomiting, drowsiness, restlessness and skin The skin itches. Results: the analgesic effect of group B was similar to that of group A, and there was no significant difference in the number of invalid pressing, total pressing times and rescue analgesia rate (P > 0.05), while the invalid pressing times, total pressing times and remedial analgesia rate of group C and group D were significantly lower than those of group A (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between group C and group D in the number of invalid compressions, the total number of compressions and the rate of remedial analgesia (P > 0.05), suggesting that increasing the dose of nalbuphine could not significantly increase the analgesic effect. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, skin pruritus, lethargy and Ramsay Sedation score in group B and group C were significantly lower than those in group A (P < 0.05). Ramsay Sedation score and incidence of drowsiness were lower than those in group D, which indicated that the incidence of adverse reactions was higher in group D than group B and group C.Conclusion: the combination of 1 mg / kg nabufen and 2 μ g / kg sufentanil is a safe and effective combination scheme for the prevention of visceral pain after gynecological laparoscopic surgery with small adverse reactions.Trial registration: http://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=40635Registration number:ChiCTR1900025076 .

Purpose. Temporal summation of pain, which is defined as the perception of greater pain evoked by repetitive painful stimuli, varies among individuals. This study aimed at determining the impact of the timing of rocuronium after induction with propofol on the temporal summation of pain. Methods. One hundred patients aged 19–60 years underwent gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to one of the two groups: group PRi received immediate injections of rocuronium after propofol administration and group PRd received rocuronium injections when the bispectral index score (BIS) decreased to <60 after propofol administration. The grade of rocuronium-induced withdrawal movement (RIWM) according to the timing of propofol injection, the incidence and severity of propofol injection pain (PIP), rescue analgesics, visual analog scale (VAS) score after surgery for postoperative pain, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) opioid consumption, association between PIP and the grade of RIWM, and associations between PIP, the grade of RIWM, and postoperative pain outcomes were measured. Results. The differences between the incidence and severity of PIP in the two groups were not significant. The grade of the RIWM in the PRd group was significantly reduced compared with the PRi group. Rescue analgesics, severity for postoperative pain, and PCA opioid consumption were not significant. Correlations between the incidence and severity of PIP and the grade of RIWM were weakly negative. Correlations between the grade of RIWM and pain outcomes were moderately positive, but correlations between the severity for PIP and the postoperative pain outcomes were negligible. Conclusion. The timing of rocuronium administration after propofol injection played a role in reducing RIWM. The grade of RIWM was significantly related to pain outcomes compared with the severity of PIP. Therefore, delayed rocuronium injection after induction with propofol reduced temporal summation of pain.
