Objective To manage the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative pain of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) under the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) and explore the role of pain management under the ERAS concept in enhancing postoperative rehabilitation of PKP. Methods From January to December 2016, 136 patients with osteoporotic compression fractures treated with PKP of local anesthesia were selected, among which 71 patients in the ERAS group were treated between July and December 2016, who were treated with celecoxib capsule for analgesia before the operation and such local anesthetics as lidocaine and ropivacaine combined with intravenous injection of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride for multi-mode analgesia during the operation; after the operation, celecoxib capsules and tizanidine hydrochloride tablets were orally administered by the routine for analgesia; if the pain was increased, 40 mg parecoxib would be added for analgesia by intramuscular injection. While 65 patients in the conventional group were treated between January and June 2016, who were given intraoperative local anesthesia with lidocaine; if the patients suffered from severe pain after the operation, they would be given 40 mg parecoxib by intramuscular injection. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), mean arterial pressure (MAP), the complications after surgery, postoperative infections, bed rest time, length of hospital stay and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results There was no statistical difference in age, gender or fracture vertebral number between the two groups (P>0.05). The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative VAS scores (4.0±1.5, 4.8±1.8, 1.6±1.1), MAP change [(22.0±4.7) mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)], bed rest time [(1.5±0.7) days], and length of hospital stay [(3.8±0.8) days] in the ERAS group were significantly less than those in the conventional group [4.7±1.7, 5.7±1.5, 2.4±1.1, (31.3±6.1) mm Hg, (2.1±0.8) days, and (5.0±1.6) days, respectively] (P<0.05). The incidence of intraoperative complication of bone cement leakage (4.2%, 3/71) in the ERAS group was lower than that in the conventional group (13.8%, 9/65) (P<0.05); there was no statistical difference in postoperative pulmonary infection between the two groups (P>0.05). Patients’ satisfaction was significantly improved from 86.2% (the conventional group) to 95.8% (the ERAS group) (P<0.05). There was no incision infection, urinary tract infection or venous thrombosis in the two groups. Conclusion With the concept of ERAS, taking a management of pain can effectively alleviate the dis-comfortable pain feeling, improve the patients’ satisfaction, and enhance the recovery for the patients after PKP surgery.
Objective To compare the pain relief and rehabilitation effect of intercostal nerve block and conventional postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery. Methods China National Repository, Wanfang Database, VIP, China Biomedical Literature Database, Web of Science, Clinicaltrials.gov, Cochrane Library, EMbase and PubMed were searched from establishment of each database to 10 Febraray, 2022. Relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of intercostal nerve block in thoracoscopic surgery were collected, and meta-analysis was conducted after data extraction and quality evaluation of the studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Results A total of 21 RCTs and one semi-randomized study were identified, including 1 542 patients. Performance bias was the main bias risk. Intercostal nerve block had a significant effect on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score at 12 h after surgery (MD=–1.45, 95%CI –1.88 to –1.02, P<0.000 01), VAS score at 24 h after surgery (MD=–1.28, 95%CI –1.67 to –0.89, P<0.000 01), and VAS score at 48 h after surgery significantly decreased (MD=–0.90, 95%CI –1.22 to –0.58, P<0.000 01). In exercise or cough state, VAS score at 24 h after surgery (MD=–2.40, 95%CI –2.66 to –2.14, P<0.000 01) and at 48 h after surgery decreased significantly (MD=–1.89, 95%CI –2.09 to –1.69, P<0.000 01). In the intercostal nerve block group, the number of compression of the intravenous analgesic automatic pump on the second day after surgery significantly reduced (SMD=–0.78, 95%CI –1.29 to –0.27, P=0.003). In addition to the analgesic pump, the amount of additional opioids significantly reduced (SMD=–2.05, 95%CI –3.65 to –0.45, P=0.01). Postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was reduced (SMD=–3.23, 95%CI –6.44 to –0.01, P=0.05). Patient satisfaction was significantly improved (RR=1.31, 95%CI 1.17 to 1.46, P<0.01). Chest tube indwelling time was significantly shortened (SMD=–0.64, 95%CI –0.84 to –0.45, P<0.001). The incidence of analgesia-related adverse reactions was significantly reduced (RR=0.43, 95%CI 0.33 to 0.56, P<0.000 01). Postoperative complications were significantly reduced (RR=0.28, 95%CI 0.18 to 0.44, P<0.000 01). Two studies showed that the length of hospital stay was significantly shortened in the intercostal nerve block group, which was statistically different (P≤0.05), and there was no statistical difference in one report. Conclusion The relief of acute postoperative pain and pain in the movement state is more prominent after intercostal nerve block. Intercostal nerve block is relatively safe and conforms to the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery, which can be extensively utilized in clinical practice.
ObjectiveTo explore the role of fast-track surgery (FTS) in day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC) pain management. MethodsWe used bidirectional cohort study to investigate the patients undergoing day surgery of laparoscopic cholecystectomy admitted into our department. A total of 143 patients between April and September 2014 receiving routine pain management were chosen to be the control group, and 78 patients between October 2014 and January 2015 receiving FTS pain management were regarded as the FTS group. Postoperative pain, early ambulation, influence of pain on the sleep, patients' satisfaction and prolonged hospital stay rate were compared between the two groups. ResultsPain scores of patients in the FTS group 0-0.5, 0.5-6, 6-12, and 12-24 hours after surgery were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The proportion of patients with early postoperative ambulation and patients' satisfaction rate in the FTS group were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionThe FTS pain management model can effectively reduce patients' pain after DLC, accelerate patients' postoperative rehabilitation and increase patients' satisfaction.
ObjectiveTo summarize the progress of perioperative pain management in patients with lower limb vascular diseases. MethodRetrieved the literature about pain management in patients with lower limb vascular diseases both at home and abroad in recent years and reviewed the literature. ResultsLower limb vascular diseases were very common in elderly patients. Whether it was limb ischemic pain or surgery-related pain, it often increased the stress response and activation of the autonomic system, which was not conducive to the recovery of the disease. Good analgesic management was important for these patients. Perioperative pain management could be performed by intravenous analgesics, oral analgesics, local anesthesia, neuraxial anesthesia and peripheral nerve block. Acute and chronic pain should be actively managed during perioperative period. Pre-emptive analgesic strategies could be implemented in patients with severe peripheral vascular disease. ConclusionsGood perioperative analgesia management is necessary. Pain management which employes one or more analgesic methods is important in maximizing pain relief, function, and quality of life for this patient group.
Objective To explore the effect of pain management by anesthesia nurses on labor analgesia. Methods A total of 100 parturient women in the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology between July and August 2015 were randomly divided into two groups: analgesia group and control group with 50 in each. Both two groups accepted labor analgesia routine maternity nursing. Analgesia group accepted maternal perinatal term pain management in addition to the routine nursing. Then we compared degree of pain during the production process, labor time and perineal injury between the two groups of women. Results The number of women with a labor pain degree of 0-Ⅲ in the analgesia group was respectively 36 (72%), 12 (24%), 2 (4%) and 0 (0%), and the number in the control group was respectively 23 (46%), 17 (34%), 8 (16%), and 2 (4%). The above difference between the two groups was statistically significant (Z=–2.908, P =0.004). The number of women with intact perineum, perineal injury of lateral and median cut, and Ⅰ-Ⅲ degree laceration in the analgesia group was respectively 31 (62%), 7 (14%), 8 (16%), 4 (8%) and 0 (0%); and the number in the control group was respectively 21 (42%), 12 (24%), 10 (20%), 7 (14%) and 0 (0%), also with significant difference between the two groups (Z =–2.028, P =0.043). The first and second labor stage of the analgesia group was (462.32±101.27) and (63.58±10.38) minutes, and was (568.27±113.28) and (76.92±11.24) minutes in the control group, with significant differences between the two groups (P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the third labor stage (5.78±3.02) and (5.97±2.96) minutes, (P=0.654). Conclusions The implementation of pain management by anesthesia nurses on labor analgesia can significantly reduce maternal labor pain, shorten the time of labor, and the condition of the perineal injury is mild and easily acceptable. It is worthy of clinical promotion.
Objective To understand the incidence and severity of postoperative acute pain in patients undergoing day surgery, and to explore the influencing factors of moderate to severe pain after surgery, so as to provide a reference for pain management in day surgery. Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select patients undergoing day surgery under multi-modal pain management in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between April and August 2020, and the general conditions, surgical conditions, and postoperative pain of the patients were investigated. According to the degree of postoperative pain, patients were divided into mild pain group and moderate to severe pain group. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of postoperative pain in the two groups. Results A total of 509 patients were finally included, of which 69 patients presented with moderate to severe pain. Logistic regression analysis showed that patient age [odds ratio (OR)=0.970, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.946, 0.993), P=0.012], pain threshold [OR=1.348, 95%CI (1.048, 1.734), P=0.020] and postoperative drainage tube [OR=2.752, 95%CI (1.090, 6.938), P=0.017] were the influencing factors of moderate to severe pain after surgery. Conclusion Under multimodal pain management, the incidence of moderate to severe pain in day surgery patients is low, and medical staff should further strengthen pain management from the factors affecting pain to reduce the incidence of moderate to severe pain after surgery.
目的 了解住院患者疼痛控制結局的現狀及對疼痛控制的滿意度，為疼痛管理提供依據。 方法 2012年5月運用便利抽樣法選取206例住院患者為研究對象，采用調查問卷的方式了解患者疼痛管理現狀和滿意度。調查工具為自行設計的患者基本信息調查表、美國疼痛協會結局問卷修訂量表。 結果 調查對象當前、過去24 h內最劇烈的疼痛程度及疼痛平均水平以輕度為主，分別占43.2%、42.2%、40.3%；疼痛對一般活動、情緒和其他康復活動的影響程度以中度為主，分別占52.4%、58.3%、53.4%；對疼痛處理結果的滿意度以一般為主，占40.8%；78.6%的患者在入院時未被告知疼痛治療的重要性；66.5%～84.5%的患者對疼痛和止痛藥的認知均較差。 結論 二級醫院住院患者的疼痛程度較輕，其對生活影響程度尚不嚴重，但患者對疼痛控制的滿意度欠佳，對疼痛相關知識的認知也較差，急需醫護人員采取相應的措施提高疼痛控制的效果和質量，從而提高患者在住院期間的滿意度。

ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of preemptive analgesia with imrecoxib on analgesia after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. MethodsA total of 160 patients with ACL injuries who met the selection criteria and were admitted between November 2020 and August 2021 were selected and divided into 4 groups according to the random number table method (n=40). Group A began to take imrecoxib 3 days before operation (100 mg/time, 2 times/day); group B began to take imrecoxib 1 day before operation (100 mg/time, 2 times/day); group C took 200 mg of imrecoxib 2 hours before operation (5 mL of water); and group D did not take any analgesic drugs before operation. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, constituent ratio of meniscal injuries with preoperative MRI grade 3, constituent ratio of cartilage injury Outerbridge grade 3, and visual analogue scale (VAS) score at the time of injury and at rest among 4 groups (P>0.05). The operation time, hospitalization stay, constituent ratio of perioperative American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade 1, postoperative opioid dosage, and complications were recorded. The VAS scores were used to evaluate the degree of knee joint pain, including resting VAS scores before operation and at 6, 24, 48 hours, and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation, and walking, knee flexion, and night VAS scores at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation. The knee injury and osteoarthritis score (KOOS) was used to evaluate postoperative quality of life and knee-related symptoms of patients, mainly including pain, symptoms, daily activities, sports and entertainment functions, knee-related quality of life (QOL); and the Lysholm score was used to evaluate knee joint function. ResultsAll patients were followed up 1 year. There was no significant difference in operation time, hospitalization time, or constituent ratio of perioperative ASA grade 1 among 4 groups (P>0.05); the dosage of opioids in groups A-C was significantly less than that in group D (P<0.05). Except for 1 case of postoperative fever in group B, no complications such as joint infection, deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities, or knee joint instability occurred in each group. The resting VAS scores of groups A-C at 6 and 24 hours after operation were lower than those of group D, and the score of group A at 6 hours after operation was lower than those of group C, and the differences were significant (P<0.05). At 1 month after operation, the knee flexion VAS scores of groups A-C were lower than those of group D, the walking VAS scores of groups A and B were lower than those of groups C and D, the differences were significant (P<0.05). At 1 month after operation, the KOOS pain scores in groups A-C were higher than those in group D, there was significant difference between groups A, B and group D (P<0.05); the KOOS QOL scores in groups A-C were higher than that in group D, all showing significant differences (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between groups A-C (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS scores and KOOS scores between the groups at other time points (P>0.05). And there was no significant difference in Lysholm scores between the groups at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation (P>0.05). ConclusionCompared with the traditional analgesic scheme, applying the concept of preemptive analgesia with imrecoxib to manage the perioperative pain of ACL reconstruction can effectively reduce the early postoperative pain, reduce the dosage of opioids, and promote the early recovery of limb function.
