Under treatment of postoperative pain has been the topic of several recent editorials. The prevention, recognition, and management of postoperative pain in adults, as well as in children, have been receiving a great deal of interest. The poor outcome obtained with current regimens is primarily due to the inadequacies of drug administration techniques rather than the qualities of opioids themselves. In this prospective study comparison of preemptive use of diclofenac, ketorolac and tramadol was done for postoperative pain in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. 60 patients were divided into three groups. Group A received injection Diclofenac (3mg/kg) 75mg maximum at a time. Group B received injection Ketorolac (30 mg). And group C patients received injection Tramadol (100 mg). All drugs were given intravenous half an hour before induction. Analgesic efficacy was measured in VAS scale. In addition pulse, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean blood pressure, total pethidine requirement and time of first pethidine requirement were recorded Patients received an increment of 10-20 mg of pethidine when pain score was 3-4. In this study, total pethidine consumption in group A is 56.5±5.14, in group B is 46.75±4.65 and in group C is 49±5.42. It shows that group B and group C have same analgesic effectiveness and which is better than group A. On the basis of present prospective clinical study postoperative pain can be managed by preemptive use of diclofenac, ketorolac and tramadol. The analgesic efficacy of ketorolac and tramadol is same and better than diclofenac. Key Words: Pre-emptive analgesia, Laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Background: Standard four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard in the treatment of gall stones. Modified epigastric port laparoscopic cholecystectomy may be considered an alternative, as this procedure maintains the advantages of four ports and does not require any special set of instruments. In this study we aimed to see whether this procedure is comparable to the standard four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy based on the primary objectives of postoperative pain score, degree of ambulation, time to return to normal activities.Methods: Consecutive patients due to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy, meeting all the predefined criteria were recruited into the study. The group A was assigned to receive intervention in the form of modified epigastric port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The group B was assigned to receive intervention in the form of standard four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients in group A were compared with patients in group B based on multiple pre-defined parameters.Results: Pain scores were significantly better in group A. Degree of ambulation at was significantly better in group A. In respect to the time to resumption of normal activities there was no significant difference between the two groups. When comparing the quality life at 1 month following surgery with SF-36 health survey, the patients in group A did better than patients in group B with respect to the six scales. Conclusions: Modified epigastric port laparoscopic cholecystectomy appears to be significantly better than the standard four port cholecystectomy in terms of postoperative recovery.

Background: The physiological consequences of post-operative pain including Stress response to surgery, Respiratory complications, cardiovascular complications, Thromboembolic complications, Gastrointestinal complications, Musculoskeletal complications and Psychological complications, all of which could delay or impair postoperative recovery and increase the economic cost of surgery as a result of the longer period of hospitalization. Inadequate post-operative pain control may also lead to the development of chronic pain after surgery .Aim of This study: is to evaluate the preemptive analgesic effect of intravenous ketamine in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients and Methods: double blinded randomized clinical trial conducted at Al-Yarmouk teaching hospital, over a period of one year from March 2013 to March 2014 on a total of 120 adult patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, Patients were divided in to three groups of 40 patients each, the study drug administered intravenously during induction. Groups A and B received ketamine in a dose of 1 and 0.5 mg/kg, respectively, whereas group C received isotonic saline. The degree of pain at rest and deep breathing postoperatively were estimated using VAS, time of first analgesic dose, total opioid consumption, nausea, vomiting and hallucination were recorded for 24 h postoperatively. Results: postoperative pain scores were significantly low in group A when compared with the other groups at most times in the first 24 hours. Highest pain score was in group C at 0 h. Postoperative analgesic consumption was minimum in group A then group B and highest in group C. There was little significant difference in the pain scores between groups B and C. Group A had a significantly higher blood MAP than group B at 0, 0.5 and 1 h. 7.5% incidence of hallucinations were in group A. Conclusion: According to this study we conclude that preemptive ketamine in a dose of 1 mg/kg has a definitive role in reducing postoperative pain and analgesic requirement in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A low dose of 0.5 mg/kg had little significant in preemptive analgesic effect and in reducing analgesic requirement.

Background: Postoperative pain creates complications by increasing circulating level of catecholamines and systemic vascular resistance, thus putting the patients on increased risks of having stroke and myocardial infarction. In addition, it increases hospital stay, causing burden over economic as well as healthcare infrastructure. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of pain in the postoperative period while using Pregabalin as pre-medication among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Material and Methods: The randomized control trail was conducted at Department of Anesthesiology, Holy Family hospital, Rawalpindi from 1st Sept 2015 to 28th Feb 2016 over a period of 6 months. A total of 200 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided in group A and B by consecutive non-probability lottery method. Group A received 100 mg oral Pregabalin 1 hour before surgery and Group B were not given Pregabalin and were taken as controls. Post-operative pain was measured by visual analog scale (VAS) in terms of pain scores at 4 hours postoperatively after the arrival of patient in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). SPSS version 17.0 was used to analyze the data.Results: A total of 200 patients were included in the study. There were 100 patients in each group. Based on the visual analog pain scores, 9 patients were pain free in group A compared with none in group B. Similarly, there were 55 patients in group A, who reported a pain score of 1 whereas no patient in group B had a VAS score of 1. There were 29 patients in group A and only 3 patients in group B with VAS score of 2 (90.6% vs. 9.4%). For VAS score of 3, there were 6 patients in group A and 34 patients from group B (15% vs. 85%). For a VAS score of 4, there were 1 patient in group A and 61 patients in group B (1.6% vs. 98.4%). Two patients in group B experienced a VAS score of 5. All this data was significant with chi square p value of 0.0001.Conclusion: Oral Pregabalin administered prior to laparoscopic cholecystectomy was effective in reducing postoperative pain in the patients. Further studies are needed for post-operative evaluation of side effects, different dosing schedules at different time intervals for both rest and dynamic pain.

Background: Acute postoperative pain is a significant cause of morbidities. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of intraoperative blood pressure during laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia on postoperative pain in patients without underlying disorders. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 72 patients undergoing general anesthesia for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly assigned into two groups: Group A with higher than baseline preoperative blood pressure (MAP allowed to increase up to 20% higher than baseline MAP by inducing pneumoperitoneum) and group B with normal to low blood pressure (MAP deliberately controlled at a tight limit from normal baseline MAP values to 20% less than baseline by titrating TNG infusion). The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) after 2, 8, 12, and 24 hours of surgery, and the total dose of meperidine used to manage postoperative pain were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results: The pain scores in group A were significantly lower than group B (P = 0.001). The postoperative analgesia request time was different between the two groups (P = 0.53). During the first 24 hours, the total meperidine consumption dose in group A was significantly lower than in group B (P = 0.001). Conclusions: High intraoperative blood pressure may affect the postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and lead to less postoperative pain score and analgesic requirements.

Background and Aims: Gabapentin and pregabalin, by decreasing noxious stimulus induced excitatory neurotransmitter release at central nervous system, may attenuate central sensitization and eventually decrease development of postoperative pain. We evaluated preemptive analgesic efficacy of single dose of oral gabapentin 600 mg and pregabalin 75mg for postoperative pain in patients undergoing lower limb orthopedic surgery under spinal anesthesia. Material and methods: A prospective, randomized, double blind study was conducted on 70 patients aged between 18 to 60 years with ASA grade 1 and 2 posted for lower limb surgeries under spinal anaesthesia. Patients were allocated into Group A and Group B receiving oral gabapentin(600mg) and oral pregabalin (75mg) respectively 1.5 hours before surgery. Primary objective was assessing duration and quality of analgesia by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score at 2,4,6,8,10,12,16,20 and 24 hours.Secondary objective was to assess total dose of rescue analgesic in first 24 hours, perioperative hemodynamic change and various side effects. Statistical Analysis used: Categorical data was compared using Chi- square test. Quantitative parametric data was analysed using unpaired student t-test. P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Mean duration of analgesia in Group A (10.53 ± 2.686 hours) was longer than Group B (7.943±3.199hr) (P = 0.0006).Mean number of analgesic dosesrequired in first 24 hourswere less in Group A (1.429 ± 0.5021) ascompared to Group B (1.771±0.6897) (P = 0.0202).All patients remained hemodynamically stable with no significant side effects noted in either group. Conclusion: We conclude that preemptive analgesic efficacy of oral gabapentin 600mg is better in comparison to oral pregabalin 75 mg for patients posted for lower limb orthopedic surgeries under spinal anesthesia.

Introduction: Non-pharmacological interventions are considered as successful adjuncts to manage pain. We are studying the comparative effects of listening to prayer recitation and music therapy intraoperatively as non-pharmacological interventions on postoperative pain and intraoperative haemodynamics. Materials and Methods: Seventy two muslim patients with acute appendicitis requiring open, emergency appendicectomies under general anaesthesia were recruited and randomised into three groups: Group A: patients who listened to prayer recitation, Group B: patients who listened to music, Group C: control group - patients who did not listen to any prayer or music. Intraoperative blood pressure, heart rate and postoperative pain scores were monitored. Results: The demographic data, pre- and post-headphones application haemodynamics were compared. There were significantly lower heart rates at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 minutes for Group A and at 50 and 60 minutes for Group B patients when compared to Group C. Significant reduction in postoperative pain scores were seen in Group A patients at 30 minutes and 8 hours as compared to Group C patients. No significant differences in pain scores were seen between Group B and C patients. No significant differences in additional analgesic requirements postoperatively were seen in all three groups. Conclusion: Listening to prayer recitation or music intraoperatively significantly lowered intraoperative heart rates, however only prayer recitation significantly reduced postoperative pain scores as compared to the control group.

Background: In laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), the extent of hemodynamic changes associated with creation of pneumoperitoneum depends on the intra-abdominal pressure attained, volume of CO2 absorbed, and patient’s intravascular volume. In our study, we attempted to compare the hemodynamic and capnographic changes in the low pressure (<8mm Hg) and standard pressure (12-14mm Hg) LC.Methods: In this randomized case control study, Group A included patients undergoing Low pressure LC (<8mm Hg). In group B, Standard pressure LC (12-14mmHg) was performed. Both groups were evaluated for the hemodynamic and capnographic changes and other parameters.Results: Difference in mean heart rate of Group A and Group B was found to be statistically significant at 10 min after induction. After 30 minutes of surgery, systolic blood pressure of Group B was found to be higher than that of Group A (p <0.05). Differences in diastolic blood pressure among patients of Group A and Group B were found to be statistically significant only at 30 min and 40 min after induction. Except at 30 min after induction, differences in EtCO2 levels of patients of Group A and Group B were found to be statistically significant.Conclusions: It appears that low pressure pneumoperitoneum appears to be having fewer effects on blood pressure- both systolic and diastolic, as compared to standard pressure pneumoperitoneum in patients undergoing LC. It also appears to be causing fewer derangements in ETCO2. This may help in smooth recovery and less post-operative problems.

Background: Although, the concept of laparoscopic surgeries has revolutionised the surgical practice and has markedly reduced the incidence of complications especially postoperative pain. However, the menace of postoperative pain still remains challenge, especially in first 24 hours. The present study was conducted to comparatively analyse the postoperative pain and sedation using intravenous dexmedetomidine and intravenous esmolol during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods: Study was conducted on 90 adult patients aged 18-60 years of ASA grade I or II of both genders, scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia. Patients were randomized into three groups of 30 patients each. Patients of group A received esmolol infusion (loading: 1 mg/kg and maintenance: 5-15 µg/kg/min), patients of group B received dexmedetomidine infusion (loading: 0.7 µg/kg and maintenance: 0.4 µg/kg/hour) and group C (control group) received normal saline infusion. During the post-operative period of 24 hours, patient were monitored for sedation using Ramsay sedation score like pain, using visual analogue score (VAS), incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting and use of any drug for pain, vomiting and any other side effect.Results: Frequency of pain was highest in group C at all post periods, followed by group A and was least in group B. The mean sedation score of group B was comparatively higher as compared to both group C and group A.Conclusions: The inference authors drew was that dexmedetomidine is better analgesic with aurousable sedation.

Objective: To compare the effects of intraincisional and intraperitoneal infiltration of local anaesthetic to relieve early postoperative pain in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Study Design: Randomized Control Trial. Setting: Department of Anaesthesia and Surgery, Madinah Teaching Hospital Faisalabad. Period: July 2017 to March 2018. Material & Methods: A sample of 100 patients with American Society of Anaesthesiologists Physical status (ASA) I and II, undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were selected using simple random sampling technique. Patients were randomly assigned into groups A and B. Group A patients received intraperitoneal infiltration of 20 ml solution of 0.25% bupivacaine and group B patients received intraincisional infiltration of 20 ml solution of 0.25% bupivacaine. Results:  Demographic characteristics were not significantly different in both groups. Our study showed that Group A patients had better pain relief as compared to group B patients. Visual analogue score (VAS) for pain relief at 0, 3,6,12 and 24 hours was statistically different in both groups. The requirement of rescue analgesia between group A and B was found to be12% and 38% which is statically significant (p value 0.003). Conclusion: intraperitoneal infiltration of Bupivacaine offers better postoperative pain relief after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and is associated with less analgesic requirement in early postoperative period.

Purpose: to study the analgesic efficacy of intraperitoneal and periportal injection of bupivacaine following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Materials and methods: 40 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomized into two groups of 20 each. Group A (study group) received 40 ml of intraperitoneal injection of 0.25% bupivacaine and 20 ml of same concentration in 4 ports, 5 ml each at the end of surgery. Group B (control) received no treatment. Post operative patient monitoring and pain assessment was done by another doctor blinded to the procedure using VAS score at 1,2,3,6,9 and 24 hours after surgery. Pethidine 50 mg intramuscular was given as rescue analgesic when demanded by patient within first 24 hours. Results: when VAS score was analyzed in the two groups, the study group had less scores compared to control group though it was statistically not significant (p > 0.05). The rescue analgesic requirement was significantly less in study group (p < 0.00). Conclusion: Intraperitoneal and periportal injection of bupivacaine is effective in decreasing pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Key words: Laparoscopic surgery, intraperitoneal bupivacaine, analgesia, VAS score     doi: 10.3126/kumj.v7i1.1765       Kathmandu University Medical Journal (2009), Vol. 7, No. 1, Issue 25, 50-53
