Objective To compare the effect of intravenous and epidural analgesia on postoperative complications after abdominal and thoracic surgery. Methods A literature search was conducted by using computerized database on PubMed, EBSCO, Springer, Ovid, and CNKI from 1985 to Jan 2009. Further searches for articles were conducted by checking all references describing postoperative complications with intravenous and epidural anesthesia after abdominal and thoracic surgery. All included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were assessed and data were extracted by the standard of Cochrane systematic review. The homogeneous studies were pooled using RevMan 4.2.10 software. Results Thirteen RCTs involving 3 055 patients met the inclusion criteria. The results of meta-analyses showed that, a) pulmonary complications and lung function: patient-controlled epidural analgesia can significantly decrease the incidence of pneumonia (RR=0.66, 95%CI 0.53 to 0.83) and improve the FEV1 (WMD=0.17, 95%CI 0.05 to 0.29) and FVC (WMD=0.21, 95%CI 0.1 to 0.32) of lung function after abdominal and thoracic surgery, but no differences in decreasing postoperative respiratory failure (RR=0.77, 95%CI 0.58 to 1.02) and prolonged ventilation (RR=0.75, 95%CI 0.51 to 1.13) compared with intravenous analgesia; b) cardiovascular event: epidural analgesia could significantly decrease the incidence of myocardial infarction (RR=0.58, 95%CI 0.35 to 0.95) and arrhythmia (RR=0.64, 95%CI 0.47 to 0.88) than the control group, but could not better reduce the risk of heart failure (RR=0.79, 95%CI 0.47 to 1.34) and hypotension (RR=1.21, 95%CI 0.63 to 2.29); and c) Other complications: epidural and intravenous analgesia had no difference in decreasing the risk of postoperative renal insufficient (RR=0.78, 95%CI 0.53 to 1.14), gastrointestinal hemorrhage (RR=0.78, 95%CI 0.49 to 1.23), infection (RR=0.89, 95%CI 0.70 to 1.12) and nausea (RR=1.03, 95%CI 0.38 to 2.81). Conclusions Epidural analgesia can obviously decrease the risk of pneumonia, myocardial infarction and severe arrhythmia, and can improve the lung function after abdominal or thoracic surgery.

Methods A total of 1200 cases who need cesarean section were randomly divided into 3 groups (400 cases in each group): simple local anesthesia group (group L), droperidolfentanyl strengthen local anesthesia group (group F) and analgestic and amnestic anesthesia group (group J). Group L was only local anesthesia. Group F was local anesthesia supplemented by droperidol 500 mg, fentanyl 015 mg. Group J was supplemented with ketamine on the basis of group F. Then the time from anesthesia to the fetus delivery, Neonatal Apgar score of one and five minutes, the blood pressure fluctuations, amount of bleeding in or after surgery and the satisfaction of anesthesia were all observed. Results Compared with group L and F, the delivery time was no significant difference, Apgar score increased, blood pressure fluctuations in pregnant women was not obviously varied, amount of bleeding in or after surgery had no significantly increase, and the satisfaction of anesthesia improved markedly all in group J. Conclusions The analgestic and amnestic anesthesia assisted by lowdose ketamine, in cesarean section, is better than local anesthesia and strengthen local anesthesia by droperidolfentanyl, which is worthy to be popularized, especially in emergency caesarean section.
ObjectiveTo investigate whether parecoxib sodium preemptive analgesia reduces inflammatory cytokines and stress hormones production in elderly patients after total hip replacement. MethodSixty patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists Classification Ⅰ-Ⅱ undergoing total hip replacement for femoral neck fracture or aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, aged between 60 and 90 years with a body weight more than 50 kg, were randomly divided into preemptive analgesia group (group P, n=30) and control group (group C, n=30). The patients in group P received parecoxib sodium 40 mg intravenously 30 min before skin incision, and another 20 mg 8 hours after the first administration. All the patients in the two groups received the administration of patient-controlled analgesia sufentanyl. We recorded blood levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), cortisol (COR), adrenaline (AD) and noradrenaline (NAD) 30 min before skin incision, and 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours postoperatively. ResultsThe blood levels of IL-6, TNF-α, COR, AD and NAD in group P at 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours or 24 hours postoperatively were significantly lower than those in group C (P<0.05). ConclusionsParecoxib sodium preemptive analgesia reduces postoperative inflammatory cytokines and stress hormones production in elderly patients undergoing total hip replacement.
Objective To investigate and analyze the cognition of intraspinal labor analgesia (ILA) of women in labor and its influencing factors. Methods A total of 322 women in labor in West China Second University Hospital of Sichuan University between May and September 2015 were investigated by questionnaire, which included the general situation, the pregnancy status, the understanding for labor pain, and the cognition of ILA. Investigator introduced the knowledge of ILA to them after the investigation, and then they were re-investigated for the choice of ILA. Results Only 22.67% of these women in labor knowed ILA clearly, 53.42% heared it but did not understand, and 49.38% liked to use it. The proportion of women in labor who liked to use it increased to 81.89% after introduction, and the difference was significant (P<0.001). Among all factors, the acknowledgement level of ILA and the choice to use it were mainly related to the family awareness concept for labor pain. Conclusions The cognition of ILA of women in labor is not enough, and their using desire is not strong. The family awareness concept is one of the important factors. The education and advertise to the women in labor and their family members after admiting to labor room can increase the choice rate of ILA significantly.
In 2020, the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS), the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA), the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), the American Hip Society (THS), the American Knee Society (TKS) have worked together to develop clinical practice guidelines on the use of Opioids in primary total joint arthroplasty (TJA). This clinical practice guideline formulates recommendations for common and important questions related to the efficacy and safety of Opioids in primary TJA. This article interprets the guideline to help doctors make clinical decisions.
In recent years, day surgery has developed rapidly in China, but there is still a certain gap between domestic and international fields. The whole-process perioperative analgesia management standard is one of the necessities to ensure the rapid recovery and timely discharge of patients undergoing day surgery, and it is also an effective driving force to narrow the gap between domestic and international day surgery management. Based on the clinical experience of perioperative analgesia management for day surgery patients in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, this paper summarizes the implementation strategies, quality control of perioperative analgesia management and the construction of painless day surgery ward, and formulates the perioperative analgesia management standard for day surgery, which will provide a reference for the perioperative analgesia management for day surgery in China.
Effective postoperative pain management in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty is an important part of the realization of enhanced recovery after surgery. Peripheral nerve block is of great significance to the control of postoperative pain, and clinicians are committed to finding a nerve block that has little impact on muscle strength and is conducive to the early recovery of motor function after total knee arthroplasty. Infiltration between the popliteal artery and capsule of the knee block can selectively block the sensory branch of the posterior end of the knee joint without affecting the motor branch of the common peroneal nerve, so that the muscle strength can be minimally affected under the condition of adequate analgesia. This article reviews the proposal of infiltration between the popliteal artery and capsule of the knee block, the approach and method of the block, and the advantages of combining with different nerve blocks for analgesia after total knee arthroplasty.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of intravertebral analgesia for external cephalic version. Methods We electronically searched The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2009), PubMed (1980 to 2009), Ovid MEDLINE (1950 to 2009), Ovid EBM Database (1991 to 2009), EMbase (1980 to 2009), CBM (1978 to 2009) and CNKI (1979 to 2009) to collect literature about intravertebral analgesia for external cephalic version. We screened randomized controlled trials (RCTs) according to the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and evaluated the quality of the included studies, and then performed meta-analyses by using RevMan 5.0.13 software. Results Seven RCTs involving 620 women met the inclusion criteria. Five trials were of relatively high quality, and 1 of low quality and 2 not clear. The result of meta-analyses showed that intravertebral analgesia was superior in external cephalic version with a RR 1.53 and 95%CI 1.24 to 1.88. Conclusion Intravertebral analgesia can increase the successful rate of external cephalic version in the treatment of breech presentation compared with intravenous medicine for systematic use or no analgesia.
Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of local versus systemic application of opioids for labor analgesia. Methods We searched PubMed (1966 to January 2008), EMBASE (1980 to January 2008), The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2008), CBM (1978 to January 2008), CNKI (1979 to January 2008) for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving local versus systemic application of opioids for labor analgesia. Quality assessment and data extraction were conducted by two reviewers independently. Meta-analyses were conducted with The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 4.2.10 software. Results A total of 12 trials involving 5909 participants met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analyses showed that local application of opioids was superior to systemic application in terms of maternal satisfaction with pain relief during labor (RR 1.63, 95% CI 1.27 to 2.09). No significant difference was found between the two groups in the incidence of low neonatal Apgar score at 5 minutes (RR 0.63, 95% CI 0.40 to 1.01). Conclusion Local application of opioids for labor analgesia appears to be more effective than systematic use in reducing pain during labor. But as for safety concerns, maternal and neonatal adverse effects are observed in both groups. Thus, more high-quality and large-scale RCTs are needed.
[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.
