Objective: To investigate the effect of preoperative intravenous oxycodone on sufentanil consumption by patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.Methodology: Forty-six patients scheduled for laparoscopic radical gastrectomy were randomly divided into two groups: group O (n = 23) received intravenous oxycodone (0.1 mg/kg) 10 minutes before surgery over 2 minutes and group C (n = 23) received normal saline as a placebo. A standardized general anesthesia and intravenous sufentanil PCIA were applied to all patients. Postoperative sufentanil doses delivered by PCIA, rescue analgesia, Ramsay sedation scale, visual analog scale (VAS) scores at rest, the overall satisfaction, and side effects were assessed.Results: The numbers of sufentanil doses delivered by PCIA were significantly fewer and VAS scores at rest were significantly lower in group O than in group C at various time points after operation. The overall satisfaction degree was higher in group O than in group C. The incidences of side effects were similar between the two groups.Conclusions: Preoperative intravenous oxycodone can reduce postoperative pain and sufentanil consumption after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy without an increase of side effects.

Abstract Backgroud: Postoperative pain is the most prominent concern among surgical patients. It has been reported that venous cannulation-induced pain can predict postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 90 mins. Its potential in predicting postoperative pain in patients with patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) is worth establishing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the application of VCP in predicting postoperative pain in patients with PCIA during the first 24 h after laparoscopic nephrectomy. Methods: 120 patients scheduled for laparoscopic nephrectomy. The nurse recorded the preoperative venous cannulation-induced pain score estimated by patients, and dichotomized the patients into VAS scores < 2.0 group or VAS scores ≥ 2.0 group . After general anesthesia and surgery, all the patients received the patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with sufentanil. The VAS scores at rest and on coughing at 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h, the effective number of presses and the number of needed rescue analgesia within 24 h after surgery were recorded. Results: Venous cannulation-induced pain score was significantly correlated with postoperative pain intensity at rest (rs = 0.64) and during coughing (rs = 0.65), effective times of pressing (rs = 0.59), additional consumption of sufentanil (rs = 0.58). Patients with venous cannulation-induced pain intensity ≥ 2.0 VAS units reported higher levels of postoperative pain intensity at rest (P < 0.0005) and during coughing (P < 0.0005), needed more effective times of pressing (P < 0.0005) and additional consumption of sufentanil (P < 0.0005), and also needed more rescue analgesia (P = 0.01). The odds of risk for moderate or severe postoperative pain (OR 3.5, 95% CI 1.3-9.3) was significantly higher in patients with venous cannulation-induced pain intensity ≥ 2.0 VAS units compared to those < 2.0 VAS units. Conclusions: Preoperative venous cannulation-induced pain can be used to predict postoperative pain intensity in patients with PCIA during the first 24 h after laparoscopic nephrectomy. Trial registration: We registered this study in a Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) center on July 6 2019 and received the registration number: ChiCTR1900024352.

Background: The most common surgical procedure for breast cancer is the modified radical mastectomy (MRM), but it is associated with significant postoperative pain. Regional anesthesia can reduce the stress response associated with surgical trauma. Objectives: Our aim is to explore the efficacy of 1 µg/kg dexmedetomedine added to an ultrasound (US)-modified pectoral (Pecs) block on postoperative pain and stress response in patients undergoing MRM. Study Design: A randomized, double-blind, prospective study. Setting: An academic medical center. Methods: Sixty patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I– II (18–60 years old and weighing 50–90 kg) scheduled for MRM were enrolled and randomly assigned into 2 groups (30 in each) to receive a preoperative US Pecs block with 30 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine only (group 1, bupivacaine group [GB]) or 30 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine plus 1 µg/ kg dexmedetomidine (group II, dexmedetomidine group [GD]). The patients were followed-up 48 hours postoperatively for vital signs (heart rate [HR], noninvasive blood pressure [NIBP], respiratory rate [RR], and oxygen saturation [Sao2]), visual analog scale (VAS) scores, time to first request of rescue analgesia, total morphine consumption, and side effects. Serum levels of cortisol and prolactin were assessed at baseline and at 1 and 24 hours postoperatively. Results: A significant reduction in the intraoperative HR, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) starting at 30 minutes until 120 minutes in the GD group compared to the GB group (P < 0.05) was observed. The VAS scores showed a statistically significant reduction in the GD group compared to the GB group, which started immediately up until 12 hours postoperatively (P < 0.05). There was a delayed time to first request of analgesia in the GD group (25.4 ± 16.4 hrs) compared to the GB group (17 ± 12 hrs) (P = 0.029), and there was a significant decrease of the total amount of morphine consumption in the GD group (9 + 3.6 mg) compared to the GB group (12 + 3.6 mg) (P = 0.001). There was a significant reduction in the mean serum cortisol and prolactin levels at 1 and 24 hours postoperative in the GD patients compared to the GB patients (P < 0.05). Limitations: This study was limited by its sample size. Conclusion: The addition of 1 µg/kg dexmedetomidine to an US-modified Pecs block has superior analgesia and more attenuation to stress hormone levels without serious side effects, compared to a regular Pecs block in patients who underwent MRM.

Abstract Background: Postoperative pain is the most prominent concern among surgical patients. It has previously been reported that venous cannulation-induced pain (VCP) can be used to predict postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 90 mins in the recovery room. Its potential in predicting postoperative pain in patients with patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) is worth establishing. The purpose of this prospective observational study was to investigate the application of VCP in predicting postoperative pain in patients with PCIA during the first 24 h after laparoscopic nephrectomy.Methods: 120 patients scheduled for laparoscopic nephrectomy were included in this study. A superficial vein on the back of the hand was cannulated with a standard-size peripheral venous catheter (1.1×3.2 mm) by a nurse in the preoperative areas.Then the nurse recorded the VAS score associated with this procedure estimated by patients, and dichotomized the patients into low response group (VAS scores < 2.0) or high response group (VAS scores ≥ 2.0). After general anesthesia and surgery, all the patients received the patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with sufentanil. The VAS scores at rest and on coughing at 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h, the effective number of presses and the number of needed rescue analgesia within 24 h after surgery were recorded. Results: Peripheral venous cannulation-induced pain score was significantly correlated with postoperative pain intensity at rest (rs = 0.64) and during coughing (rs = 0.65), effective times of pressing (rs = 0.59), additional consumption of sufentanil (rs = 0.58). Patients with venous cannulation-induced pain intensity ≥ 2.0 VAS units reported higher levels of postoperative pain intensity at rest (P < 0.0005) and during coughing (P < 0.0005), needed more effective times of pressing (P < 0.0005) and additional consumption of sufentanil (P < 0.0005), and also needed more rescue analgesia (P = 0.01) during the first 24 h. The odds of risk for moderate or severe postoperative pain (OR 3.5, 95% CI 1.3-9.3) was significantly higher in patients with venous cannulation-induced pain intensity ≥ 2.0 VAS units compared to those < 2.0 VAS units. Conclusions: Preoperative assessment of pain induced by venous cannulation can be used to predict postoperative pain intensity in patients with PCIA during the first 24 h after laparoscopic nephrectomy.Trial registration: We registered this study in a Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) center on July 6 2019 and received the registration number: ChiCTR1900024352.

The Difference

Currently most of the anesthetist prefer the usage of multimodal analgesia technique to improve the degree of pain relief without inducing any side effects. Pregabalin and gabapentin when given in higher doses reduces the preoperative anxiety and induce sedation without causing undesirable side effects.To compare and evaluate the effects of premedication drugs Pregabalin or Gabapentin versus placebo for attenuation of postoperative pain among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia.A prospective comparative study was conducted for a period of 6 months in the department of anesthesiology of our medical college hospital. A total of 90 patients posted for elective laproscopic cholecystectomy in the age group between 20 and 60 years were taken as our study subjects. The entire study subjects were randomized into three groups of 30 each. Group B subjects received 3 tablets of Beplex forte (as placebo), Group G subjects received 3 tablets of Gabapentin 300mg (total 900mg) and Group P subjects received 3 tablets of Pregabalin 50mg (total 150mg). Post-operatively degree of pain, requirement for rescue analgesia, sedation score and adverse events occurred was monitored and analysed between the three groups. Pain score was less in the pregabalin group at all intervals compared to gabapentin and placebo group and the difference was found to be statistically significant. Maximum amount of tramadol requirement as a part of rescue analgesia was seen in the placebo group followed by gabapentin group and minimal dose requirement was needed for pregabalin group and the difference was found to be statistically significant. The occurrence of adverse events such as somnolence and dizziness was almost similar in all the three groups whereas the incidence of nausea and vomiting was less in pregabalin group compared to gabapentin and placebo group. Pregabalin can be effectively used as a part of the multimodal analgesic to prevent acute postoperative pain among patients undergoing elective laproscopic cholecystectomy.

We performed this study to examine the effect of electro-acupuncture (EA) on postoperative pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and recovery in patients after a supratentorial tumor resection. Eighty-eight patients requiring a supratentorial tumor resection were anesthetized with sevoflurane and randomly allocated to a no treatment group (Group C) or an EA group (Group A). After anesthesia induction, the patients in Group A received EA at LI4 and SJ5, at BL63 and LR3 and at ST36 and GB40 on the same side as the craniotomy. The stimulation was continued until the end of the operation. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) was used for the postoperative analgesia. The postoperative pain scores, PONV, the degree of dizziness and appetite were recorded. In the first 6 hours after the operation, the mean total bolus, the effective times of PCIA bolus administrations and the VAS scores were much lower in the EA group (p < 0.05). In the EA group, the incidence of PONV and degree of dizziness and feeling of fullness in the head within the first 24 hours after the operation was much lower than in the control group (p < 0.05). In the EA group, more patients had a better appetite than did the patients in group C (51.2% vs. 27.5%) (p < 0.05). The use of EA in neurosurgery patients improves the quality of postoperative analgesia, promotes appetite recovery and decreases some uncomfortable sensations, such as dizziness and feeling of fullness in the head.

Background: A hernia repair surgery commonly induces moderate to severe postoperative pain for 48 hours. Aim of the study was to compare 0.5% Ropivacaine with dexamethasone and 0.5% Ropivacaine with clonidine for ultrasonography guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block as post-operative analgesia in patients undergoing Inguinal hernia repair surgery.Subjects and Methods:A randomized prospective controlled clinical study was conducted in 64 patients undergoing Inguinal Herneoplasty. Participants were divided into two groups in which group RD (n=32) received 0.5% Ropivavacaine with Dexamethasone 8mg and those in group RC (n=32) received 0.5% Ropivacaine with Clonidine 75mcg as USG guided TAP block at the end of surgery. The postoperative pain was evaluated by visual analog scale (VAS) for pain scoring at every 2 hours for 24 hours postoperatively. Subjective assessment of duration of analgesia was done.Results:Time to first rescue analgesia was significantly less in group RC (424.53±34.13) compared to group RD (616.09±31.36min) (P < 0.001). Total tramadol consumed in 24 h was significantly higher in group RC than group RD (P < 0.001). Visual analog scale scores for both somatic and visceral pain were significantly higher in group RC than group RD at 6h, 8 h and 12 h postoperatively.Conclusion:TAP block is a safe and effective way of relieving postoperative pain in inguinal herneoplasty patients. Addition of dexamethasone to Ropivacaine significantly enhances its effect in terms of block quality and analgesia duration as compared to clonidine addition.

Twenty-six cholecystectomy patients received either an interpleural infusion of bupivacaine (Group B, n = 12) or an intravenous infusion of pethidine (Group P, n = 14) for management of postoperative pain over a three-day period. Patients in Group P experienced a significantly (P < 0.05) greater incidence of total side-effects (146) than patients in Group B (66). Pain scores (VAS) and responses to a pain questionnaire were similar for both groups; however, within Group B improvement in mean VAS scores at rest with time were more sustained. Similar reductions in FEV, and FVC from preoperative values occurred for both groups, while for Group P there were significant (P < 0.05) changes in arterial blood gases (increase in Pco2, decrease in Po2) over two days postoperatively. Patients in Group P recorded longer times to passing flatus and unaided mobilisation (P < 0.05), and required a significantly greater number of additional medications (anti-emetics and analgesics) over the postoperative period (41 vs 29, P < 0.05).

Introduction: The laparoscopic approach may be associated with more postoperative pain initially. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of administered tramadol at wound closure on postoperative painand analgesic requirements under spinal anesthesia in laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy (LH) or tension free open inguinal herniorrhaphy (TFOH).Methods: Twenty patients were randomly divided into two groups (n= 10 in each) as LH or TFOH. Patients received infiltration of 200 mg tramadol with 40 mL of 0.9% saline solution at wound closure procedure. Postoperative pain was assessed with a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively. Additional requirements of tramadol for postoperative pain releif were registered.Results: VAS scores at postoperative 12 and 24 hours were signifi cantly higher according to 3rd hour VAS scores in both groups. The VAS scores at 12 hours after operation signifi cantly lower in LH group than inTFOH group (1.5 ± 0.97 vs 5.1 ± 0.99). Additional requirements of tramadol for postoperative pain releif were significantly lower in LH group.Conclusion: We conclude that wound infi ltration of 200 mg tramadol reduce postoperative pain in LH group.

Abstract Background: The minimal effective analgesic concentration of opioids required for satisfactory analgesia may differ significantly among the patients. Genetic factors may contribute to the variable response to opioids by affecting their pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics. Methods: Ninety nine patients undergoing abdominal surgery with colorectal anastomosis because of colorectal carcinoma were enrolled in the present study. C34535T was genotyped in all subjects and the patients were divided into three groups according to their genotype: CC-wild type homozygous, CT-mutant heterozygous and TT-mutant homozygous. Intravenous fentanyl, patient controlled analgesia was provided postoperatively for pain control in the first 24 hour after surgery. Opioid consumption, pain scores and the adverse side effects were evaluated. Results: Our main result is that the patients in the CC genotype group consumed significantly more fentanyl (375.0 μg ± 43.1) than the patients in the TT group (295.0 μg ± 49.1) and the CT (356.4 μg ± 41.8) group in the treatment of postoperative pain. The patients in the TT group had lower VAS scores at 6h, 12h, 18 h and 24h postoperatively. There were no significant differences in the side effects among the three groups regarding the vomiting and the sedation score. The patients in the TT group had more frequently nausea score 1, than the patients in the other two groups. Conclusion: Our study indicates that the C3435T SNPs of the ABCB1 gene is associated with differences in the opioid sensitivity. The ABCB1 polymorphism may serve as an important genetic predictor to guide the acute pain therapy in postoperative patients.

Introduction. Pain is the commonest morbidity after open surgical procedures. The most effective treatment of postoperative pain is opioid therapy. Morphine, the commonly used opioid, is associated with many side effects including respiratory depression, sedation, postoperative nausea vomiting, and pruritus. Nalbuphine, on the other hand, is known to cause less respiratory depression. Thus this study was undertaken to compare the intraoperative and postoperative analgesic efficacy and side effect profile of the two drugs. Methodology. 60 patients undergoing open gynaecological surgery were randomized to receive either morphine (Group M) or nalbuphine (Group N) in the intraoperative and postoperative period. Intraoperative analgesic efficacy (measured by need for rescue analgesics), postoperative pain by visual analogue scale, and side effects like postoperative nausea, vomiting, sedation, respiratory depression, and pruritus were compared in both groups. Intraoperative and postoperative heart rate and blood pressure were also compared between the groups. Results. Need for intraoperative analgesia was significantly more in Group N (P=0.023). Postoperative VAS scores were significantly different between the groups at various time points; however, none of the patients required any rescue analgesia. The incidence of various side effects was not significantly different between the groups. The haemodynamic profile of patients was comparable between the groups in both intraoperative and postoperative period. Conclusion. Nalbuphine provides less effective intraoperative analgesia than morphine in patients undergoing open gynaecological surgery under general anaesthesia. Both drugs, however, provided similar postoperative analgesia and had similar haemodynamic and side effect profile.
