          Abstract

          Purpose

          Ultrasound-guided retrolaminar block (RLB) has the potential to provide postoperative analgesia in retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of RLB when compared with local infiltration analgesia (LIA) in retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy.

          Patients and Methods

          One hundred and fifteen patients scheduled for laparoscopic nephrectomy were divided into two groups: the RLB group (n = 57) received an ultrasound-guided RLB, while the LIA group (n = 58) received LIA. At 2, 4, 6, 24, and 48 hours after operation, the maximal visual analog score (VAS), sufentanil and rescue analgesia consumption, and the utilization of patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) were assessed. The incidence rates of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV); time of leaving bed (at the first instance); and the levels of plasma β-Endorphin (β-EP), Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and prostaglandin E2 (PEG2) 30 min after extubation were noted.

          Results

          Patients in the RLB group had significantly lower VAS scores; lower sufentanil cumulative consumption; lower manual addition frequency of PCIA; lower proportion of using rescue analgesia within 48 hours after operation; lower incidence rate of PONV; shorter resuscitation times; earlier time of leaving the bed; and lower β-EP, IL-1 β, and PEG2 levels.

          Conclusion

          Ultrasound-guided RLB of multiple injections is both safe and controllable for postoperative analgesia after retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy. When compared with LIA, RLB has better and longer-lasting analgesic effect, lower incidence rates of PONV, and the potential to reduce the level of postoperative inflammatory factors.

          Management of Postoperative Pain: A Clinical Practice Guideline From the American Pain Society, the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, and the American Society of Anesthesiologists' Committee on Regional Anesthesia, Executive Committee, and Administrative Council.

          Most patients who undergo surgical procedures experience acute postoperative pain, but evidence suggests that less than half report adequate postoperative pain relief. Many preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative interventions and management strategies are available for reducing and managing postoperative pain. The American Pain Society, with input from the American Society of Anesthesiologists, commissioned an interdisciplinary expert panel to develop a clinical practice guideline to promote evidence-based, effective, and safer postoperative pain management in children and adults. The guideline was subsequently approved by the American Society for Regional Anesthesia. As part of the guideline development process, a systematic review was commissioned on various aspects related to various interventions and management strategies for postoperative pain. After a review of the evidence, the expert panel formulated recommendations that addressed various aspects of postoperative pain management, including preoperative education, perioperative pain management planning, use of different pharmacological and nonpharmacological modalities, organizational policies, and transition to outpatient care. The recommendations are based on the underlying premise that optimal management begins in the preoperative period with an assessment of the patient and development of a plan of care tailored to the individual and the surgical procedure involved. The panel found that evidence supports the use of multimodal regimens in many situations, although the exact components of effective multimodal care will vary depending on the patient, setting, and surgical procedure. Although these guidelines are based on a systematic review of the evidence on management of postoperative pain, the panel identified numerous research gaps. Of 32 recommendations, 4 were assessed as being supported by high-quality evidence, and 11 (in the areas of patient education and perioperative planning, patient assessment, organizational structures and policies, and transitioning to outpatient care) were made on the basis of low-quality evidence.

            Effect of intravenous haloperidol on the duration of delirium and coma in critically ill patients (Hope-ICU): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

            Delirium is frequently diagnosed in critically ill patients and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Haloperidol is the most commonly used drug for delirium despite little evidence of its effectiveness. The aim of this study was to establish whether early treatment with haloperidol would decrease the time that survivors of critical illness spent in delirium or coma.

              Comparison of injectate spread and nerve involvement between retrolaminar and erector spinae plane blocks in the thoracic region: a cadaveric study.

              Although different injection locations for retrolaminar and erector spinae plane blocks have been described, the two procedures have a similar anatomical basis. In this cadaveric study we compared anatomical spread of dye in the thoracic region following these two procedures. Following randomisation, 10 retrolaminar blocks and 10 erector spinae plane blocks were performed on the left or right sides of 10 unembalmed cadavers. For each block, 20 ml of dye solution was injected at the T5 level. The back regions were dissected and the involvement of the thoracic spinal nerve was also investigated. Twenty blocks were successfully completed. A consistent vertical spread, with deep staining between the posterior surface of the vertebral laminae and the overlaying transversospinalis muscle was observed in all retrolaminar blocks. Moreover, most retrolaminar blocks were predominantly associated with fascial spreading in the intrinsic back muscles. With an erector spinae plane block, dye spread in a more lateral pattern than with retrolaminar block, and fascial spreading in the back muscles was also observed. The number of stained thoracic spinal nerves was greater with erector spinae plane blocks than with retrolaminar blocks; median 2.0 and 3.5, respectively. Regardless of technique, the main route of dye spread was through the superior costotransverse ligament to the ipsilateral paravertebral space. Although erector spinae plane blocks were associated with a slightly larger number of stained thoracic spinal nerves than retrolaminar blocks, both techniques were consistently associated with posterior spread of dye and with limited spread to the paravertebral space.
