Introduction: Pain control is an important factor for postoperative recovery. Many drugs have been studied for effectiveness of postoperative analgesia. Fentanyl is a conventional drug and dexmedetomidine is one of the emerging drugs used for analgesia and postoperative pain control. Aim: To compare the effect of fentanyl and dexmedetomidine on pain control and haemodynamic stability. Materials and Methods: A randomised controlled trial was conducted on 60 patients (30 each group) undergoing for abdominal surgery, between January 2019 to January 2020. Group A received fentanyl loading dose 2 μg/kg I.V. followed by 0.5 μg/kg/hr infusion and group B received dexmedetomidine loading 1 μg/kg over 10 minutes followed by maintenance 0.5 μg/kg/hr infusion. Infusion was continued up to four hours during surgery and till eight hours of postoperative in both groups. Haemodynamic parameters {Heart Rate (HR), Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)} were recorded after start of study drug infusion, after intubation, then every 15 minutes till 1 hour, then every 30 minutes till end of surgery and after extubation. In postoperative period, HR and MAP were recorded at interval of one hour till eight hours after extubation and postoperative analgesia was assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at interval of one hour till eight hours. Present study used descriptive statistical analysis for data analysis. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare data between two groups. Chi-square test was used to find the significance of difference on categorical scale between two groups. Results: This study showed that group-B had significantly less VAS score most of time in recovery period as compared to group-A (1.97±0.18 vs 2.10±0.31 at eight hours postoperative). HR, MAP was found significantly less all the time during surgery and most of the time postoperatively in group-B (p-value <0.05). Conclusion: Intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine can be better for controlling postoperative pain and perioperative haemodynamic stability as compared to infusion of fentanyl in patients undergoing abdominal surgeries.

IntroductionDelirium is a neurocognitive disorder characterised by an acute and temporary decline of mental status affecting attention, awareness, cognition, language and visuospatial ability. The underlying pathophysiology is driven by neuroinflammation and cellular oxidative stress.Delirium is a serious complication following neurosurgical procedures with a reported incidence varying between 4% and 44% and has been associated with increased length of hospital stay, increased amount of reoperations, increased costs and mortality.Perioperative music has been reported to reduce preoperative anxiety, postoperative pain and opioid usage, and attenuates stress response caused by surgery. We hypothesize that this beneficial effect of music on a combination of delirium eliciting factors might reduce delirium incidence following neurosurgery and subsequently improve clinical outcomes.MethodsThis protocol concerns a single-centred prospective randomised controlled trial with 6 months follow-up. All adult patients undergoing a craniotomy at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam are eligible. The music group will receive recorded music through an overear headphone before, during and after surgery until postoperative day 3. Patients can choose from music playlists, offered based on music importance questionnaires administered at baseline. The control group will receive standard of clinical careDelirium is assessed by the Delirium Observation Scale and confirmed by a delirium-expert psychiatrist according to the DSM-5 criteria. Risk factors correlated with the onset of delirium, such as cognitive function at baseline, preoperative anxiety, perioperative medication use, depth of anaesthesia and postoperative pain, and delirium-related health outcomes such as length of stay, daily function, quality of life (ie, EQ-5D, EORTC questionnaires), costs and cost-effectiveness are collected.Ethics and disseminationThis study is being conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. The Medical Ethics Review Board of Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam, The Netherlands, approved this protocol. Results will be disseminated via peer-reviewed scientific journals and conference presentations.Trial registration numbersNL8503 and NCT04649450.

Owing to a lack of studies investigating the effect of adjustments in fentanyl background infusion (BI) with patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) on postoperative analgesia, we evaluated three BI regimens with fentanyl PCA for acute postoperative pain management. This randomised controlled trial enrolled 105 patients, who were assigned to three parallel groups: constant rate BI of 2 mL/h (CRBI group); time-scheduled decremental BI of 6, 2 and 1 mL/h (TDBI group); and BI rates optimised to the demand of PCA (POBI group). The incidence of insufficient analgesia, visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score and side effects were evaluated. The incidence of insufficient analgesia in the post-anaesthesia care unit was lower in the TDBI and POBI groups than the CRBI group. Incidence of insufficient analgesia in the ward was lower in the POBI group than the CRBI group. Postoperative VAS scores were significantly lower in the TDBI and POBI groups for up to 4 h and 24 h, respectively, compared with the CRBI group. Side effects and infused fentanyl dose were highest in the CRBI group. Adjusting BI rate based on time or patient demands could improve postoperative analgesia and reduce side effects. Compared to a constant BI rate, PCA-optimised BI achieved higher patient satisfaction.
