[Abstract]The number of lung transplantation is gradually increasing worldwide, which brings new challenges to the multi-disciplinary team of lung transplantation. The prognosis of lung transplant recipients is seriously affected by the pathophysiological state of specific lung diseases and perioperative risk factors. It is of great significance for these patients to optimize perioperative management according to these factors. Recently, several expert consensus have been published regarding anesthesia management of lung transplantation. Based on the current evidence and clinical practice of West China Hospital, this review summarizes the key points of anesthesia management for lung transplant recipients to guide anesthesiologists' clinical practice.
As a novel analgesic method, erector spinae plane block is increasingly widely used during perioperative period. This technique mainly injects local anesthetic drugs into the connective tissue between the deep fascia of the erector muscle and the transverse process of the vertebral body to achieve a blocking effect. Its role in postoperative analgesia in adult patients has been verified. Currently, case reports have shown that it also has a certain analgesic effect in pediatric patients, which can reduce postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption. Therefore, this article explores the application of erector spinae plane block in pediatric patients from various aspects, summarizes existing research results, and aims to provide more evidence for clinicians to reasonably use this block technique in the pediatric population.
目的:观察静脉应用小剂量氯胺酮超前镇痛法对接受腹腔镜下子宫切除手术患者术后疼痛及认知功能的影响。方法:38例择期接受腹腔镜下子宫切除术患者(ASA分级12)随机分为氯胺酮组和对照组。氯胺酮组于手术开始前5min静脉滴注氯胺酮015mg·kg-1,术中持续泵注3μg·kg-1·min-1至手术结束;对照组使用生理盐水。记录术中使用氯胺酮后心率,平均动脉压的变化;术后24h内静脉使用芬太尼的剂量,VAS疼痛评分,头晕、恶心、呕吐等不良反应,中枢神经系统症状以及术后2h患者认知功能。结果:两组患者在24h内静脉使用芬太尼的剂量,VAS疼痛评分,不良反应,中枢神经系统症状以及术后2h的认知功能方面没有统计学差异。〖HTH〗结论:〖HTSS〗静脉使用小剂量氯胺酮超前镇痛并不能减少术后芬太尼的用量,不能降低术后疼痛评分。尽管使用小剂量氯胺酮并没有增加患者术后的不良反应,也不影响患者术后认知功能障碍,不建议作为腹腔镜下子宫切除术患者常规使用。
ObjectiveTo provide references for postoperative analgesia treatment for cirrhotic patients with bone fracture. MethodsOne elderly patient with liver cirrhosis and fracture was admitted to our hospital on July 9, 2013. We obtained medical evidences by searching databases and regulated the best treatment after evaluating the patient's comprehensive conditions. And then, the whole treatment strategy was fully implemented. Finally, the consequent results were evaluated. ResultsWe identified 22 relevant articles including one clinical guideline, three cochrane reviews, five systematic reviews, seven small sample randomized controlled trials, one high quality observational study, and five quantitative reviews. We found that opioid analgesics utilization combined with non-opioid analgesics could not only reduce the occurrence of opioid drug adverse reactions, but increase analgesia safety. Cox-2 inhibitors could be used as the first choice of non-opioid drugs due to the less adverse reaction and better analgesic effectiveness. ConclusionFor femur fracture patients with liver cirrhosis, treatment decision based on evidence-based medicine is more scientific, which can ensure maximum benefit for the patients.
ObjectiveTo compare postoperative analgesic efficacy and motor function recovery between ultrasound guided adductor canal block (ACB) and Femoral nerve block (FNB) in patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). MethodsFrom March to April 2014, 40 patients chosen to receive TKA under general anesthesia were randomly allocated to FNB group and ACB group with 20 in each group. Opioids consumption during and after operation, pain score in rest and movement, the force of quadriceps femoris, activity of knee and complications after surgery were recorded. ResultsNo differences were found in opioids consumption during and after operation, pain score in rest and movement after operation. Patients of ACB group were superior to those of FNB group in motor function recovery. At hour 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 after operation, the force of quadriceps femoris was higher in patients of ACB group than those of FNB group (P<0.05). Activity of knee was higher in patients of ACB group than those of FNB group postoperatively. ConclusionACB and FNB have equal postoperative analgesic effect for TKA patients. But ACB has less influence on the force of quadriceps femoris than FNB. Therefore, patients of ACB group are superior to those of FNB group in motor function recovery, showing better activity of knee and early time of first straight leg raising.
Objective To retrospectively analyze the analgesic effect and cost-effectiveness of combined analgesia versus intermittent analgesia for patients underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery. Methods We retrospectively collected clinical parameters and outcomes of analgesic effect from patients who underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery. Included patients were divided into two groups: local injection of ropivacaine combined with intermittent administration with analgesic via intravenous injection and intermittent administration with analgesic via intravenous injection only. Visual analogue scale (VAS) at different time points (2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h), usage of postoperative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), adverse events, costs and other information were collected and assessed for further analysis of analgesic effect and cost-effectiveness. Results A total of 80 patients were enrolled in this study, each group consists of 40 patients. The results of this study found that VAS scores at 2 h and 4 h after operation in the combined analgesic group were significantly lower than that in the intermittent intravenous analgesia group (P<0.05), while there were no significant differences between the two groups in VAS scores at 6, 12 and 24 h after operation. The usage of NSAIDs were significantly lower in the combined group than intermittent group (P<0.05). The effective rate in the combined group was significantly higher than that in the intermittent group (P<0.05). The average cost of postoperative hospitalization and postoperative analgesic of the two groups were similar (allP values >0.05), and cost-effectiveness evaluation of the combined analgesia group was better than that of intermittent group. Conclusion Compared to intermittent administration with analgesic via intravenous injection, subcutaneous injection of ropivacaine hydrochloride combined with intermittent intravenous injection of parecoxib in patients underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery significantly could alleviate patients' painful complaints and reduce the postoperative usage of NSAIDs without increasing adverse events. Furthermore, the combination strategy has a lower cost-effectiveness ratio than intermittent group, which represents economic advantages.
ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) acupuncture analgesia after laparoscopic total extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (TEP), aiming to reduce the use of analgesics post-surgery. MethodsPatients who underwent unilateral TEP in the Department of Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery at our hospital from May 2022 to May 2023 were selected as research subjects. Those who met the inclusion and exclusion criterias were randomly assigned to three groups: TCM acupuncture analgesia group, traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture analgesia plus western medicine analgesia group (referred to as Chinese and western medicine analgesia group), and western medicine analgesia group. The basic information, postoperative numerical rating scale (NRS) pain scores, postoperative recovery indicators, and complication rates of the three groups were analyzed and compared.ResultsThere was no statistically significant differences in the basic data of patients across the three groups (P>0.05). There were significant differences in NRS score, recovery time of intestinal function, first urination time after operation and first ambulation time after operation at each time point after analgesia (6 h, the next morning, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h after operation) among the three groups (P<0.05). The NRS scores in both the TCM acupuncture analgesia group and the Chinese and western medicine analgesia group were lower than those in the western medicine analgesia group (P<0.05), Additionally, postoperative recovery outcomes were better in the TCM acupuncture analgesia group and the Chinese and western medicine analgesia group compared with the western medicine group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference of the above results compared between the TCM acupuncture analgesia group and the Chinese and western medicine analgesia group (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in postoperative complications among the three groups (P>0.05). ConclusionTCM acupuncture analgesia following TEP surgery is effective and leads to improved postoperative recovery compared with the use of oral analgesics alone, without an increase in adverse reactions.
Objective To evaluate the analgesic effect of intra-articular ropivacaine with lidocaine. Methods A double-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted. Ninety patients receiving selective knee arthroscopy were randomized into three groups of 30 patients. At the end of the operation, before the release of the tourniquet, an intra-articular injection was administered to each patient through arthroscope, in accordance with their random allocation: 0.9% normal saline (normal saline group); 100 mg ropivacaine (ropivacaine alone group) and 100 mg ropivacaine and 100 mg 2% lidocaine (ropivacaine with lidocaine group). Pain intensity was assessed after the operation using the 100-mm visual-analog scale (VAS), and the amount of supplemental analgesics used within the following 24 hours were recorded. Results The VAS scores of 2 hours postoperatively at rest, and 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours postoperatively at motion, were significantly higher in the normal saline group than in ropivacaine alone group (Plt;0.05). The VAS scores 0.5, 1 and 2 hours postoperatively at rest, and at the awaking moment, 0.5, 1, 4, 8, and 24 hours postoperatively at motion, were significantly higher in the normal saline group than in ropivacaine with lidocaine group (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Intra-articular ropivacaine can reduce a patient’s pain after operation. The combination of lidocaine with intra-articular ropivacaine can reduce the patient’s pain severity immediately after the operation and achieve an early analgesic effect.
