ObjectiveTo compare the effect of da Vinci Surgical System and video-assisted mini-thoractomy (VAMT) on postoperative pain of patients with lungs or mediastinal tumor. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 88 patients with lung or mediastinal tumor who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from January 2015 through April 2015. The patients were divided into two groups including a robot group and a VAMT group. There were 49 patients in the robot group with 23 males and 26 females at age of 55.14±13.03 years and 39 patients with 23 males and 16 females at age of 56.92±8.98 years in the VAMT group. ResultsCompared with the VAMT group, shorter operation time (t=-2.298, P=0.024) and shorter time of drainage (t=-2.421, P=0.018) were found in the robot group with statistical differences. There was a statistical difference in visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of postoperative 24 hours between the robot group and the VAMT group (1.00±0.74 vs. 2.33±1.64, t=-4.704, P=0.000). While no statistical difference was found in VAS scores of postoperative 48 hours (t=-0.244, P=0.808) between the two groups. ConclusionCompared with VAMT, da Vinci Surgical System can be used in the treatment of lung and mediastinal tumor with shorter operation time, shorter time of drainage, less pain, and less invasiveness.
Objective To investigate the effects of pain specialist nurse training (PSNT) on nurse’s pain management knowledge and attitude. Methods By distributing the “questionnaire of pain management knowledge and attitude”, 95 certified nurses, who were from 24 hospitals of different levels in Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan and Xinjiang, were investigated to survey their knowledge and attitude changes before and after PSNT. The data were analyzed by t-test. Results A total of 190 questionnaires were distributed to 95 nurses, and 190 returned, with a effective response rate of 100%. The result showed that, the total score after training (34.00±5.30) was significantly higher than that before training (17.58±4.00), with a significant difference (P=0.000). Conclusion The pain specialist nurse training can improve nurses’ knowledge and their attitudes on pain management.
Objective To systematically evaluate effectiveness and safety of nerve block therapy for neck pain. Methods Databases including CENTRAL, PubMed, Ovid, ISI, EBSCO, CBM and CNKI were searched from the date of their establishment to November 2011, and relevant references were also retrieved manually to collect both domestic and abroad randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about nerve block therapy for neck pain. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, two researchers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the quality of the included studies. Then the meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.0 software. Results A total of 10 studies involving 625 participants were included. The results of qualitative analysis showed that: a) The short-term effectiveness of the nerve block therapy group was markedly superior to the placebo group, the cognitive therapy group and the transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) group; and b) The short-term effectiveness of the combined nerve block therapy was markedly superior to the single nerve block therapy. The results of meta-analysis demonstrated that: a) There was no significant difference between the greater occipital nerve (GON) block group and the C2/3 nerve block group in neither short-term (SMD=−0.13, 95%CI −0.58 to 0.32, P=0.58) nor medium-term effectiveness (SMD=−0.01, 95%CI −0.46 to 0.44, P=0.98); and b): There was no significant difference between the injection with steroids group and the injection without steroids group in both short-term (SMD=0.16, 95%CI −0.13 to 0.44, P=0.28) and long-term effectiveness (SMD=0.27, 95%CI −0.02 to 0.55, P=0.07). Conclusion Current evidence shows nerve block therapy for neck pain is safe and especially good in short-term effectiveness. The combined nerve block therapy is probably more effective, but the effectiveness is not obviously improved by injection with or without steroids, and by different block methods. Due to the limitation of quality, quantity and total sample size of the included studies, this conclusion still needs to be proved by conducting more high quality and large scale studies.
Objective To evaluate the effects of a preoperative pain education program on patients’ knowledge of postoperative pain management, measures taken for such pain management and the actual postoperative pain. Methods A total of 84 patients undergoing abdominal surgery were non-randomly divided into two groups, 42 in each group. Patients in group A received routine preoperative care and 30 minutes of education about pain management, while patients in group B received routine preoperative care only. All patients completed the Postoperative Pain Management Questionnaire on the second postoperative day. Results Patients in group A achieved higher scores for their knowledge about postoperative pain management than those in group B (Plt;0.05). More patients in group A took non-medical pain relief methods after surgery (Plt;0.05); and patients in group A were able to use the PCA pump more correctly than those in group B (Plt;0.05). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in the frequency of asking for analgesics or their pain score when they requested analgesics (Pgt;0.05). The average score for postoperative pain was lower for group A compared to group B (Plt;0.05). Conclusions A program of preoperative pain education can improve patients’ knowledge of postoperative pain management and encourage them to participate actively in such pain management, so as to further relieve the postoperative pain.

Methods One hundred and twenty patients aged between 18 and 65 years old with an ASA score from Ⅰ to Ⅱ who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy from June 2010 to April 2011 comprised this study. The patients were randomly divided into four groups with 30 in each group. Patients in group A had an infusion of 0.75% ropivacaine (10 mL) at the beginning of LC plus tramadol (2 mg/kg) intravenous injection at the end. Group B patients had an infusion of normal saline 0.9% (10 mL) at the beginning of LC plus tramadol (2 mg/kg) intravenous injection at the end. Patients in group C had an infusion of 0.75% ropivacaine (10 mL) at the beginning of LC plus normal saline 0.9% (10 mL) intravenous injection at the end. Group D (control group) patients had neither ropivacaine nor tramadol infusion. Pain in the right upper abdomen, right shoulder tip and abdominal incision were assessed at hour 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 postoperatively using a visual analog score (VAS). Results Right upper abdomen and right shoulder tip pain VAS comparison: significantly lower pain scores were observed in group A and B (Plt;0.05) than in group D (Pgt;0.05). Group A had significantly lower pain scores than group B (Plt;0.05) and C (Plt;0.01) at postoperative hours 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24. Abdominal incision pain VAS comparison: VAS scores were significantly lower in group A, B and C than in group D (Plt;0.05). Group A had significantly lower pain scores than group B (Plt;0.05) and C (Plt;0.01) at postoperative hours 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24. Conclusion Preincisional ropivacaine at the beginning of LC combined with tramadol intravenous injection at the end can effectively alleviate postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Methods A total of 485 patients who underwent epidural puncture from January to December 2009 were randomly divided into two groups: 259 in touching group and 226 in control group. In the touching group, the patients were touched and consoled while undergoing epidural puncture. The pain extent and time of puncture were observed and recorded. Results The level of pain and time of puncture were obviously alleviated and shortened in the touching group and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant. Conclusion Touching could reduce the stress and pain caused by epidural puncture, which may lead to maintain the puncture position and thereby shorten the puncture time. It helps to finish the narcotic operation favorably.
