Project description:Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) is used for pain relief during and after abdominal surgery, but the effect of TEA on the splanchnic microcirculation remains debated. We evaluated whether TEA affects splanchnic microcirculation in the pig.Splanchnic microcirculation was assessed in nine pigs prior to and 15 and 30 min after induction of TEA. Regional blood flow was assessed by neutron activated microspheres and changes in microcirculation by laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI).As assessed by LSCI 15 min following TEA, gastric arteriolar flow decreased by 22 % at the antrum (p = 0.020) and by 19 % at the corpus (p = 0.029) of the stomach. In parallel, the microcirculation decreased by 19 % at the antrum (p = 0.015) and by 20 % at the corpus (p = 0.028). Reduced arteriolar flow and microcirculation at the antrum was confirmed by a reduction in microsphere assessed regional blood flow 30 min following induction of TEA (p = 0.048). These manifestations took place along with a drop in systolic blood pressure (p = 0.030), but with no significant change in mean arterial pressure, cardiac output, or heart rate.The results indicate that TEA may have an adverse effect on gastric arteriolar blood flow and microcirculation. LSCI is a non-touch technique and displays changes in blood flow in real-time and may be important for further evaluation of the concern regarding the effect of thoracic epidural anesthesia on gastric microcirculation in humans.Not applicable, non-human study.

Project description:ObjectivesIn patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for pneumothorax, the benefits and risks of single-shot intercostal nerve block as loco-regional analgesia are not well known. We retrospectively compared the effectiveness of intercostal nerve blocks as a viable alternative to thoracic epidural analgesia regarding pain control and enhanced recovery.MethodsA retrospective multicentre analysis with single-center propensity score matching was performed in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for pneumothorax receiving either thoracic epidural analgesia or intercostal nerve block. The primary outcome was proportion of pain scores ≥4 (scale 0-10) until postoperative day 3. Secondary outcomes included variation in pain over time, additional opioid use, length of stay, mobility, complications and recurrence rate.ResultsIn 218 patients, thoracic epidural analgesia was compared to intercostal nerve block and showed no difference in proportion of pain scores ≥4 (14.3% [IQR 0.0-33.3] versus 11.1% [IQR 0.0-27.3] respectively, p = 0.24, more frequently needed additional opioids on the day of surgery (18% versus 48%) and first postoperative day (20% versus 42%), had a shorter length of stay (4.0 days [IQR 3.0-7.0] versus 3.0 days [IQR 2.8-4.0]), and were significantly more mobile until postoperative day 3, while having similar recurrences. Intercostal nerve block had higher pain scores early in course whereas thoracic epidural analgesia had higher late (rebound) pain scores.ConclusionsIn a multimodal analgesic setting with additional opioids, intercostal nerve block shows comparable moments of unacceptable pain from POD 0-3 compared to thoracic epidural analgesia and is linked to improved mobility. Results require randomized confirmation.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:The primary objective of this randomized trial was to compare thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) to intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) for pain control over the first 48 hours after hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery. Secondary endpoints were patient-reported outcomes, total narcotic utilization, and complications. BACKGROUND:Although adequate postoperative pain control is critical to patient and surgeon success, the optimal analgesia regimen in HPB surgery remains controversial. METHODS:Using a 2.5:1 randomization strategy, 140 patients were randomized to TEA (N = 106) or intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (N = 34). Patient-reported pain was measured on a Likert scale (0-10) at standard time intervals. Cumulative pain area under the curve was determined using the trapezoidal method. RESULTS:Between the study groups key demographic, comorbidity, clinical, and operative variables were equivalently distributed. The median area under the curve of the postoperative time 0- to 48-hour pain scores was lower in the TEA group (78.6 vs 105.2 pain-hours, P = 0.032) with a 35% reduction in patients experiencing ?7/10 pain (43% vs 62%, P = 0.07). Patient-reported outcomes and total opiate use further supported the benefit of TEA on patient experience. Anesthesia-related events requiring change in analgesic therapy were comparable (12.2% vs 2.9%, respectively, P = 0.187). Grade 3 or higher surgical complications (6.6% vs 9.4%), median length of stay (6 days vs 6 days), readmission (1.9% vs 3.1%), and return to the operating room (0.9% vs 3.1%) were similar (all P > 0.05). There were no mortalities in either group. CONCLUSIONS:In major HPB surgery, TEA provides a superior patient experience through improved pain control and less narcotic use, without increased length of stay or complications.

Project description:BackgroundRectus sheath catheter analgesia (RSCA) and thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) are both used for analgesia following laparotomy. The aim was to compare the analgesic effectiveness of RSCA with TEA after laparotomy for elective colorectal and urological surgery.MethodsPatients undergoing elective midline laparotomy were randomized in a non-blinded fashion to receive RSCA or TEA for postoperative analgesia at a single UK teaching hospital. The primary quantitative outcome measure was dynamic pain score at 24 h after surgery. A nested qualitative study (reported elsewhere) explored the dual primary outcome of patient experience and acceptability. Secondary outcome measures included rest and movement pain scores over 72 h, functional analgesia, analgesia satisfaction, opiate consumption, functional recovery, morbidity, safety, and cost-effectiveness.ResultsA total of 131 patients were randomized: 66 in the RSCA group and 65 in the TEA group. The median (interquartile range; i.q.r.) dynamic pain score at 24 h was significantly lower after TEA than RSCA (33 (11-60) versus 50.5 (24.50-77.25); P = 0.018). Resting pain score at 72 h was significantly lower after RSCA (4.5 (0.25-13.75) versus 12.5 (2-13); P = 0.019). Opiate consumption on postoperative day 3 (median (i.q.r.) morphine equivalent 17 (10-30) mg versus 40 (13.25-88.50) mg; P = 0.038), hypotension, or vasopressor dependency (29.7 versus 49.2 per cent; P = 0.023) and weight gain to day 3 (median (i.q.r.) 0 (-1-2) kg versus 1 (0-3) kg; P = 0.046) were all significantly greater after TEA, compared with RSCA. There were no significant differences between groups in other secondary outcomes, although more participants experienced serious adverse events after TEA compared with RSCA, which was also the more cost-effective.ConclusionsTEA provided superior initial postoperative analgesia but only for the first 24 h. By 72 hours RSCA provides superior analgesia, is associated with a lower incidence of unwanted effects, and may be more cost-effective.

Project description:Patients admitted to the intensive care unit with moderate to severe acute pancreatitis carry significant morbidity and mortality. A few unfortunate patients in whom the initial line of treatment fails to show clinical improvement develop multiorgan dysfunction involving lungs (adult respiratory distress syndrome), renal failure, intra-abdominal infections, sepsis, and septic shock, which ultimately leads to prolonged hospitalization and a substantial cost of treatment. The acute abdominal pain experienced by these patients is excruciating and requires multimodal analgesia. Continuous epidural analgesia has been found to provide good quality, opioid-sparing analgesia in these patients. A few studies have also demonstrated that segmental sympathectomy resulting from epidural blockade could lead to lowering of serum amylase and lipase levels improve paralytic ileus, and thus hastens the process of recovery. The present paper aims to discuss the advantages of continuous epidural analgesia in patients with acute pancreatitis of varying severity and to review the existing literature using specific keywords.

Project description:Recent work revealed the development of marked diaphragm muscle fiber weakness during two hours of thoracic surgery. This loss of muscle fiber function was not part of a generalized muscle weakness as function of the non-respiratory latissimus dorsi muscle was preserved. To disentangle the molecular processes that might underlie the development of diaphragm muscle fiber weakness during thoracic surgery we studied changes in the gene expression profile.

Project description:BackgroundRecently, robot-assisted thoracic surgery has been increasingly performed for mediastinal disease. However, appropriate postoperative analgesic methods have not been evaluated.MethodsWe retrospectively studied patients who underwent robot-assisted thoracic surgery for mediastinal disease at a single university hospital between January 2019 and December 2021. Patients were performed either general anesthesia alone, general anesthesia combined with thoracic epidural anesthesia, or general anesthesia combined with ultrasound-guided thoracic block. Patients were divided into three groups [non-block (NB), thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA), and thoracic paraspinal block (TB)] according to postoperative analgesic methods, and they compared with terms of postoperative pain scores by using numerical rating scale (NRS) at 0, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 48 h. Additionally, rescue supplemental analgesic within 24 h, side effects of anesthesia such as respiratory depression, hypotension, postoperative nausea and vomiting, pruritus and urinary retention, time to ambulation after surgery, and hospital stay after surgery were also compared among the three groups.ResultsData from 169 patients (Group NB: 25, Group TEA: 102, and Group TB: 42) were progressed to the analysis. Postoperative pain scale at 6 and 12 h was significantly lower in Group TEA than NB (1.2±1.6 vs. 2.4±1.8, P<0.01; and 1.2±1.5 vs. 2.2±1.7, P=0.018, respectively). There were no differences in pain scores between Groups TB and TEA at any point. The incidence of patients using rescue analgesics within 24 h was significantly different between groups [Group NB: 15/25 (60%), Group TEA: 30/102 (29.4%), Group TB: 25/42 (59.5%), P=0.01]. For postoperative side effects, only the number of patients complaining of postoperative nausea and vomiting for 24 h after surgery differed significantly between groups [Group NB: 7/25 (28%), Group TEA: 19/102 (18.6%), Group TB: 1/42 (2.4%), P=0.01].ConclusionsTEA provided better analgesia after robot-assisted thoracic surgery for mediastinal disease than NB as indicated by lower pain scores and fewer rescue analgesic requirements. However, the frequency of postoperative nausea and vomiting was lowest in Group TB of all the groups. Thus, TBs might also provide adequate postoperative analgesia following robot-assisted thoracic surgery for mediastinal disease.
