Bloqueo ecoguiado bajo el músculo multífido para el dolor postoperatorio tras cirugía de columna lumbar: serie prospectiva de casos

We describe a series of 15 patients scheduled for single level lumbar spine decompression with instrumentation receiving ultrasound (US) guided submultifidus block (SMFB). In this series, injections of local anesthetic deep to the multifidus muscle provided reliable block of dorsal rami of spinal nerves at multiple levels. With US, the multifidus muscle can be identified both in axial and parasagittal planes. Needle tip is easily visualized beneath the multifidus and medial to the transverse process. Good quality analgesia was documented by pain scores. There were no adverse events. Further studies are needed to compare this nerve block with routine multimodal analgesia or with the recently described thoracolumbar interfascial plane block to compare safety and analgesic efficacy.     

Bariatric surgery in the elderly: a randomized prospective study comparing safety of sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (BASE Trial)

BackgroundThe aging population along with the obesity epidemic has increased the number of older patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Nevertheless, there is still conflicting data regarding surgical safety in this population.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to compare the surgical morbidity of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) for older patients.SettingUniversity hospital, São Paulo, Brazil.MethodsWe performed a prospective randomized clinical trial from September 2017 to May 2019. Obese patients aged ≥65 years were randomized to LSG or LRYGB. Data collection included demographic information, body mass index (BMI), and co-morbidities. We assessed readmission, postoperative complications, and mortality. Complications were scored according to Clavien-Dindo classification.ResultsA total of 36 patients, with a BMI between 35.5 and 52.8 kg/m² were randomized to either LSG (18 patients) or LRYGB (18 patients). The overall complication rate was similar between LSG and LRYGB (3 versus 7, P = .13). Severe complication was more prevalent in LRYGB patients but had no statistically significant difference (0 versus 3, P = .07). Each group had 1 readmission and there was no mortality in 90-day follow-up.ConclusionsMorbidity and mortality rates of bariatric surgery are low in elderly obese patients. Despite not statistically significant, LSG had a lower rate of severe complications compared with LRYGB in this population setting.     

Intrathecal catheterisation after observed accidental dural puncture in labouring women: update of a meta-analysis and a trial-sequential analysis

BackgroundOur meta-analysis from 2013 showed that inserting a catheter intrathecally after an observed accidental dural puncture can reduce the need for epidural blood patch in labouring women requesting epidural analgesia. We updated our conventional meta-analysis and added a trial-sequential analysis (TSA).MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted to identify studies that compared inserting the catheter intrathecally with an epidural catheter re-site or with no intervention. The extracted data were pooled and the risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) for the incidence of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) was calculated, using the random effects model. A contour-enhanced funnel plot was constructed. A TSA was performed and the cumulative Z score, monitoring and futility boundaries were constructed.ResultsOur search identified 13 studies, reporting on 1653 patients, with a low risk of bias. The RR for the incidence of PDPH was 0.82 (95%CI 0.71 to 0.95) and the RR for the need for epidural blood patch was 0.62 (95%CI 0.49 to 0.79); heterogeneity of both analyses was high. The TSA showed that the monitoring or futility boundaries were not crossed, indicating insufficient data to exclude a type I error of statistical analysis. Contour-enhanced funnel plots were symmetric, suggesting no publication bias.ConclusionsConventional meta-analyses showed for the first time that intrathecal catheterisation can reduce the incidence of PDPH. However, TSA did not corroborate this finding. Despite increasing use in clinical practice there is no firm evidence on which to base a definite conclusion.     

Impact of an enhanced recovery program for cesarean delivery on postoperative opioid use

BackgroundCesarean delivery is one of the most common surgeries performed worldwide and the adoption of enhanced recovery programs for cesarean delivery is gaining popularity. We tested the hypothesis that implementation of an enhanced recovery program for cesarean delivery would be associated with a decrease in postoperative opioid consumption.MethodsWe compared a retrospective cohort of women delivered by elective cesarean delivery (January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018) to a prospective cohort exposed to the enhanced recovery protocol (July 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018). The primary outcome was inpatient maternal opioid use, measured as total oral morphine equivalents. Secondary outcomes included postoperative 0–10 pain scores, length of stay, 30-day postoperative complication rates, and hospital re-admissions.ResultsData from 541 patients were analyzed. The enhanced recovery cohort used significantly less oral morphine equivalents compared with the pre-enhanced recovery cohort (60.3 mg vs 104.3 mg, P <0.001). The number of patients who required opioid medication within 24 h of discharge was significantly reduced in the enhanced recovery cohort (41.1% vs 74.6%, P <0.001). There were no significant differences in average pain scores (1.6 vs 1.9, P=0.037).ConclusionsThe implementation of an enhanced recovery program for cesarean delivery was associated with a significant reduction in postoperative opioid consumption throughout hospitalization, with average pain scores remaining <2. Implementation of this program was also associated with an increase in the number of patients who were opioid-free 24 h prior to discharge.     

Perioperative Use of Gabapentinoids and Risk for Postoperative Long-Term Opioid Use in Older Adults Undergoing Total Knee or Hip Arthroplasty

BackgroundGabapentinoids are recommended by guidelines as a component of multimodal analgesia to manage postoperative pain and reduce opioid use. It remains unknown whether perioperative use of gabapentinoids is associated with a reduced or increased risk of postoperative long-term opioid use (LTOU) after total knee or hip arthroplasty (TKA/THA).MethodsUsing Medicare claims data from 2011 to 2018, we identified fee-for-service beneficiaries aged ≥ 65 years who were hospitalized for a primary TKA/THA and had no LTOU before the surgery. Perioperative use of gabapentinoids was measured from 7 days preadmission through 7 days postdischarge. Patients were required to receive opioids during the perioperative period and were followed from day 7 postdischarge for 180 days to assess postoperative LTOU (ie, ≥90 consecutive days). A modified Poisson regression was used to estimate the relative risk (RR) of postoperative LTOU in patients with versus without perioperative use of gabapentinoids, adjusting for confounders through propensity score weighting.ResultsOf 52,788 eligible Medicare older beneficiaries (mean standard deviation [SD] age 72.7 [5.3]; 62.5% females; 89.7% White), 3,967 (7.5%) received gabapentinoids during the perioperative period. Postoperative LTOU was 3.8% in patients with and 4.0% in those without perioperative gabapentinoids. After adjusting for confounders, the risk of postoperative LTOU was similar comparing patients with versus without perioperative gabapentinoids (RR = 1.07; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.91-1.26, P = .408). Sensitivity and bias analyses yielded consistent results.ConclusionAmong older Medicare beneficiaries undergoing a primary TKA/THA, perioperative use of gabapentinoids was not associated with a reduced or increased risk for postoperative LTOU.
