Unlabelled: The objectives of this study were to verify the frequency of pharmacological analgesia and the occurrence of postoperative pain in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study and data were collected from 30 medical charts of neonates who underwent cardiac surgery in a private hospital in the city of São Paulo.
Results: The majority (96.6%) of neonates received analgesia: 18 (60.0%) received continuous analgesics, five (16.7%) received intermittent drugs, and six (20.0%) received a combination of continuous and intermittent analgesics. Fentanyl citrate was continuously administered to 24 (80.0%) neonates. Intermittent dipyrone and morphine was administered to ten (33.3%) and one (3.3%) neonates, respectively. Pain registers were observed in 17 (56.7%) medical charts and the occurrence of pain among neonates who received analgesics was 53.4%.
Conclusion: There was no efficacy in pharmacological postoperative pain control in the neonates included in this study.

Efficacy of Transversus Thoracic Plane Block for Pain Management in Cardiac Surgeries.
Curr Pain Headache Rep
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport, Shreveport, LA, 71103, USA.
Purpose Of Review: Effective pain management in cardiac surgery presents as a continuous challenge related to the intensity of postoperative pain and reliance on opioid therapy. The dependance of opioid-based therapies is concerning, as these therapies carry risk future addiction and potential severe side effects. The transversus thoracic plane block (TTPB) has emerged as a promising regional anesthesia technique that blocks the anterior branches of the intercostal nerves in the chest wall, potentially providing improved analgesia for cardiac surgery patients.

Curr Pain Headache Rep
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative, and Pain Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.
Purpose Of Review: The rhomboid intercostal and subserratus plane (RISS) block is an effective, safer alternative for managing postoperative acute pain following abdominal surgeries. The RISS block offers several advantages over traditional approaches, including reduced incidence of puncture-related complications, lower rates of systemic opioid consumption, and more consistent analgesic coverage of lower thoracic dermatomes.
Recent Findings: Despite a favorable safety profile, the RISS block carries potential risks, such as pneumothorax and local anesthetic systemic toxicity, particularly when long-acting anesthetics such as bupivacaine or ropivacaine are used.
The effectiveness of antenatal education on improving labour and birth outcomes - A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The World Health Organisation has suggested antenatal education be integrated within standard antenatal care. However, evidence for the impact of antenatal education varies. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated randomised controlled trial evidence regarding the influence of antenatal education on labour and birth outcomes.

Front Pharmacol
December 2024
Jiangsu Province Key Laboratory of Anesthesiology, Xuzhou Medical University, Xuzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Introduction: The paraventricular thalamic nucleus (PVT) is recognized for its critical role in pain regulation, yet the precise molecular mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated an essential role of the microglial adenosine A receptor (AR) in the PVT in regulating pain sensation and non-opioid analgesia.
Method And Results: Specifically, AR was predominantly expressed in ionized calcium binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1)-positive microglia cells within the PVT, with expression levels remaining unchanged in mice experiencing persistent inflammatory pain induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA).
Efficacy of wearable transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation bracelet on moderate-to-severe postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients after general anesthesia: a study protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Department of Anesthesiology, Second Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University (Shanghai Changzheng Hospital), Shanghai, China.
Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is the most common complication following general anesthesia. Currently, pharmaceutical therapy is the primary method of treatment, but it has reached a plateau, and it is accompanied by inherent adverse reactions and high costs. Stimulation of the wrist acupuncture point PC6 is recommended as an effective means of preventing PONV.
