胸腰筋膜间平面阻滞对后路腰椎融合术后镇痛效果的影响

目的 探讨超声引导下胸腰筋膜间平面（thoracolumbar interfascial plane, TLIP）阻滞对后路腰椎融合手术病人术后镇痛效果的影响。方法 前瞻性选择2017年4月至2018年5月在我院择期行后路腰椎融合手术病人50例。采用随机数字表法分为两组，每组25例，TLIP阻滞联合静脉自控镇痛（patient controlled intravenous analgesia, PCIA）组（TLIP组）和单纯PCIA组（对照组）。TLIP组，男12例，女13例，年龄为（49.4±7.7）岁；对照组，男10例，女15例，年龄为（49.5±7.1）岁。TLIP组在全麻诱导后行超声引导下双侧TLIP阻滞，每侧注入0.375%罗哌卡因20 ml。两组术后均使用舒芬太尼行PCIA，维持术后24 h内静息疼痛视觉模拟量表（visual analogue scale, VAS）评分≤3分。记录两组病人围手术期阿片类药物用量及补救镇痛例数，术后2、4、6、12、24 h的静息VAS评分和Ramsay镇静评分，术后24 h 内恶心呕吐、头晕、瘙痒和呼吸抑制的发生情况以及TLIP组阻滞相关并发症的发生情况。结果 与对照组比较，TLIP组术中瑞芬太尼用量及术后24 h内PCIA舒芬太尼用量明显减少（P＜0.05），术后恶心呕吐发生率明显降低（P＜0.05），两组均未行补救镇痛。两组间各时间点静息VAS评分和Ramsay镇静评分，以及术后头晕、瘙痒和呼吸抑制等发生率的差异均无统计学意义（P均＞0.05），TLIP组未发生阻滞相关并发症。结论 超声引导下TLIP阻滞可减少后路腰椎融合术病人围术期阿片类药物用量，降低术后恶心呕吐的发生率。     

Efeitos de tramadol,magnésio e cetamina por via intra‐articular sobre a dor pós‐operatória em meniscectomia artroscópica

Objective

Postoperative pain control is important in terms of early recovery and rehabilitation in arthroscopic meniscectomy. For this purpose, we aimed to compare the effects of intraarticular tramadol, magnesium, and ketamine with combinations of pericapsular bupivacaine on postoperative pain and recovery in arthroscopic meniscectomy.

Intravenous subdissociative-dose ketamine versus morphine for acute geriatric pain in the Emergency Department: A randomized controlled trial

Study objective

We compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of subdissociative intravenous-dose ketamine (SDK) versus morphine in geriatric Emergency Department (ED) patients.

Bloqueo bilateral del grupo de nervios pericapsulares (PENG) como analgesia en cirugía de cadera infantil

Effective management and control of peri- and postoperative pain in hip surgery is essential in order to minimize the use of opioids and their adverse effects. Effective regional analgesia for hip pain is made particularly challenging by the complex innervation of the hip joint. Standard regional techniques can be associated with complications, including incomplete anesthesia, hypotension, or lower limb weakness. We present the case of a 5-year-old girl with a history of infantile cerebral palsy who underwent bilateral varus derotation osteotomy and adductor tenotomy due to paralytic dislocation. She received bilateral PENG block and femoral cutaneous nerve block - a simple technique that covers all the nerves involved in the sensory innervation of the joint capsule without the need for multiple injections.     

Dural puncture epidural versus conventional epidural block for labor analgesia: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials

IntroductionDural puncture epidural (DPE) analgesia is a modification of conventional epidural analgesia that involves the intentional puncture of the dura with a spinal needle through the needle placed in the epidural space, without a medication being injected intrathecally. There have been contradictory findings regarding better analgesia and better block quality.MethodsA systematic literature search was done to identify randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing DPE with epidural analgesia. The risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane tool. Risk ratio and 95% confidence intervals were calculated.ResultsFive RCTs including 581 patients were identified. One RCT on caesarean section was excluded. Single studies suggested slightly better analgesia by finding a median time to achieve sufficient analgesia of two minutes less in the DPE group, a higher number of women having a pain score <10/100 at 20 min, a reduction in the number of epidural top-ups and better sacral spread. The studies did not show a difference between DPE and epidural analgesia for catheter replacement or manipulation rates, the incidence of intravascular placement or unilateral block.ConclusionThere is a lack of clear evidence on either the benefits or the risks of the DPE technique, such that a recommendation for or against its routine use is premature. Two of the three studies showing a beneficial effect of DPE came from the same institution and replication of the findings by other groups is warranted.     

Intranasal hydromorphone for treatment of acute pain in children: A pilot study

ObjectivesWe aimed to describe the analgesic efficacy, duration of analgesia, and adverse event profile associated with intranasal hydromorphone in children with acute pain presenting to an emergency department.MethodsProspective dose titration pilot study of otherwise healthy children 4 to 17-years-old with moderate to severe pain who required a parenteral opioid. All patients received an initial intranasal hydromorophone dose of 0.03 mg/kg. The need for additional analgesia was assessed at 15 and 30 min; an additional 0.015 mg/kg was given at each assessment, if required. Need for rescue analgesic, pain intensity and adverse events were assessed until 6 h after hydromorphone administration or until patients were discharged, underwent a procedure to treat their painful condition, or received a rescue analgesic.ResultsWe enrolled 35 children. Fifteen, 11, and 9 children required a total dose of 0.03, 0.045, and 0.06 mg/kg, respectively. Patients in each dose group experienced an absolute decrease in pain score of ≥3/10 and percent reduction >40% within 5–15 min of completing dose-titration administration of hydromorphone. Duration of analgesia (i.e. time until rescue analgesic administered) >1 h was observed in 85.7% of patients. Patients not requiring rescue analgesics had mild or no pain until discharged or their painful conditions were treated. Three (8.6%) patients required a rescue analgesic <1 h after hydromorphone administration. There were no major adverse events.ConclusionsIntranasal hydromorphone led to rapid, clinically significant and frequently sustained decreases in pain intensity in children. No major adverse events were observed in this preliminary sample.Clinical Trials Registration Number: NCT02437669
