Intraoperative Dexmedetomidine Versus Midazolam in Patients Undergoing Peripheral Surgery With Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The intra- and postoperative effects of dexmedetomidine are not completely consistent and midazolam/fentanyl is most widely used in peripheral surgeries. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the sedative, analgesic, hemodynamic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects of dexmedetomidine against midazolam in patients undergoing peripheral surgeries with mild traumatic brain injuries.

Methods

Medical records of patients who underwent peripheral surgeries with mild traumatic brain injury were included in the analysis. Patients received intraoperative midazolam (MDZ cohort, n = 225) or dexmedetomidine (DEX cohort, n = 231). Pre-, intra-, and postoperative characteristics of patients were collected and analyzed.

Results

After administration of anesthesia, up to 40 minutes, patients of the MDZ group had lower modified observer's assessment of alertness/sedation score than those of the DEX group (P = .041), but after 40 minutes, patients of the MDZ group had a higher score than those of the DEX group throughout surgeries (P = 0.048). The DEX group has less requirements of postoperative morphine/equivalent doses than the MDZ group (4 ± 1 vs 5 ± 1, P < .0001, q = 18.451).

Conclusions

Intraoperative DEX offers better sedation, postoperative analgesia, and clinical recovery for peripheral surgeries and suppresses inflammatory response.

Project description:ObjectiveThere is a need for evidence on the best sedative agents in children undergoing open heart surgery for congenital heart disease. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of dexmedetomidine in this group compared with midazolam.DesignDouble blinded, pilot randomized controlled trial.SettingCardiac operating theatre and paediatric intensive care unit in Brisbane, Australia.ParticipantsInfants (≤12 months of age) undergoing their first surgical repair of a congenital heart defect.InterventionsDexmedetomidine (up to 1.0mcg/kg/hr) versus midazolam (up to 80mcg/kg/hr), commenced in the cardiac operating theatre prior to surgery.Main outcome measuresThe primary outcome was the time spent in light sedation (Sedation Behavior Scale [SBS] -1 to +1); Co-primary feasibility outcome was recruitment, retention and protocol adherence. Secondary outcomes were use of supplemental sedatives, ventilator free days, delirium, vasoactive drug support, and adverse events. Neurodevelopment and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were assessed at 12 months post-surgery.ResultsSixty-six participants were recruited. The number of SBS scores in the light sedation range were greater in the dexmedetomidine group at 24 hours, 48 hours, and overall study duration (0-14 days) versus the midazolam group (24hr: 76/170 [45%] vs 60/178 [34%], aOR 4.14 [95% CI 0.48, 35.92]; 48hr: 154/298 [52%] vs 122/314 [39%], aOR 6.95 [95% CI 0.77, 63.13]; 0-14 days: 597/831 [72%] vs 527/939 [56%], aOR 3.93 [95% CI 0.62, 25.03]). Feasibility was established with no withdrawals or loss to follow-up at 14 days and minimal protocol deviations. There were no differences between the groups relating to clinical, safety, neurodevelopment or HRQoL outcomes.ConclusionsThe use of dexmedetomidine was associated with more time spent in light sedation when compared with midazolam. The feasibility of conducting a blinded RCT of midazolam and dexmedetomidine in children undergoing open heart surgery was also established. The findings justify further investigation in a larger trial.Clinical trial registrationACTRN12615001304527.

Project description:ObjectiveThis study aims to explore the association between intraoperative hypothermia and outcomes in adult patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 2048 adult laparoscopic surgery patients treated between 2020 and 2021 was conducted at Songklanagarind Hospital, Thailand. Intraoperative hypothermia, defined as a core temperature below 36°C, was recorded as either one or more than one episode. Patient demographics, clinical information and postoperative outcomes were extracted from the hospital information system. The outcomes were intraoperative and postoperative cardiac arrhythmias, postoperative oxygen requirement, length of post-anesthetic care unit (PACU) stay, and length of hospital stay. Univariate and multivariate logistic/linear regression models were fit to assess the association between hypothermia and outcomes, presented as odds ratio (OR) or beta-coefficient (β) with 95% confidence interval (CI).ResultsThe incidence of intraoperative hypothermia was 34.9%, with 688 experiencing one episode and 27 experiencing multiple episodes. On multivariate analysis, patients with one and more than one episode of hypothermia had an increased risk of intraoperative cardiac arrhythmia compared to normothermic patients (OR [95%CI]: 1.67[1.24,2.25] and 3.65[1.53,8.74], respectively, P<0.001). Normothermic patients and hypothermic patients with more than one-episode had a higher odds of postoperative oxygen requirement compared to hypothermic patients with only one episode (OR [95%CI]:1.32[1.02,1.7] and 2.64[1.1,6.32], respectively, P = 0.019). Hypothermic patients with one and more than one-episode also had longer PACU stays compared to normothermic patients (β[95%CI]:3.82[1.34,6.29] and 12.43[2.29,22.57] minutes, respectively, P = 0.001). No significant differences were observed in the other outcomes.ConclusionsIntraoperative hypothermia in laparoscopic surgery is associated with a higher likelihood of intraoperative cardiac arrhythmias, prolonged PACU stay and higher postoperative oxygen requirement. Further research and prospective studies are warranted to validate these results and develop strategies to manage intraoperative hypothermia effectively.

Project description:PurposeOne of the feared complications of war-related peripheral vascular injury is the development of delayed hemorrhage. This study describes our experience with an innovative protocol of surveillance diagnostic angiography to detect occult late vascular complications in an effort to prevent delayed hemorrhage.Materials and methodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single level one trauma center, reviewing patients with war-related peripheral vascular injuries caused by penetrating trauma from October 7th, 2023, to January 21st, 2024. Data collected included patient demographics, primary injury characteristics, associated complications, incidence of late vascular injuries (either symptomatic or occult), means of diagnosis, treatment strategies and outcomes.ResultsThe cohort included 41 patients with war-related peripheral vascular injuries affecting 51 limbs. All patients were male (100%) with a median age of 25 years, the majority being soldiers (85%). 24 occurrences of late vascular injuries were observed in 22 (43%) out of 51 limbs (100%). Half were symptomatic, with delayed hemorrhage occurring in 5 limbs in total (10%), and half were asymptomatic. A total of 17 surveillance diagnostic angiographies were performed with the sole indication of identifying occult late vascular injuries in asymptomatic patients, of which 4 (24%) were positive for findings. Five additional diagnostic angiographies were performed to assess late injuries discovered incidentally on imaging studies that were performed for other indications, and all were positive for late vascular injuries. Of all late vascular injuries, a total of 83% required subsequent treatment.ConclusionsLate vascular injuries are a potentially lethal complication of war-related peripheral vascular injury. Aggressive surveillance with diagnostic angiography prior to discharge from a high intensity care unit can detect asymptomatic late vascular injuries, the treatment of which may prevent life-threatening hemorrhage.
