Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative intravenous oxycodone administration on postoperative sufentanil consumption in patients undergoing retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy.

Methods: Fifty patients scheduled for retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy were enrolled and randomly assigned to two groups- patients in Group O (n = 25) received intravenously 0.1 mg kg⁻¹ oxycodone; while the patients in Group C (n = 25) received 0.1 mL kg⁻¹ normal saline for 2 min, 10 min before the operation. All of the participants received intravenous sufentanil patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) after extubation, using a PCA device. The sufentanil consumption, rescue analgesia, Ramsay sedation scale (RSS) and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at rest and during cough, the overall satisfaction and undesired events were all assessed.

Results: Cumulative sufentanil consumption delivered by PCA was significantly lower in Group O at all time points. VAS scores at rest and during coughing at 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours after extubation of the patient were significantly lower in Group O than in Group C. There were no significant differences between the two groups according to the number of patients administered tramadol, RSS and the incidence of side effects. The degree of patients' satisfaction was higher in Group O.

Conclusion: Preoperative intravenous oxycodone can reduce postoperative cumulative sufentanil consumption and postoperative pain intensity without an increase in side effects.

Introduction: Nociception monitoring has recently gained recognition as a valuable tool for guiding intraoperative opioid administration. Several nociception monitors, including the Surgical Pleth Index, the Index of Consciousness (IoC) and the Nociception Level, have been introduced for managing intraoperative analgesia. While these technologies show promise in initial applications, the effectiveness of IoC2 in guiding pain management during anaesthesia, particularly in elderly patients who require precise opioid use, remains unclear.

Background: Scalp nerve blocks (SNB) may significantly reduce post-craniotomy pain (PCP) but only for a short period of time. Dexamethasone, as an adjuvant to local anesthetics, was reported to prolong the analgesia duration of never block; however, the addition of dexamethasone to SNB is rare. We therefore tested the hypothesis that dexamethasone as an adjuvant to bupivacaine in SNB is positive after craniotomy.

Objective: This study aims to explore the analgesic effects and safety of periarticular injections of methylene blue (MB) combined with a cocktail formulation following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods: A total of 70 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty were selected and divided into two groups based on the cocktail formula used for periarticular infiltration, including the methylene blue group (M group, n = 35) and the control group (C group, n = 35). Both groups underwent spinal anesthesia.

Purpose: To explore the postoperative opioid-sparing effect and incidence of adverse events of different dosages of intraoperative esketamine administration in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery.

Patients And Methods: Patients undergoing elective gynecological laparoscopic operation was enrolled and randomly allocated to lower-dose esketamine group, higher-dose esketamine group, or control group. Patients in the two intervention groups received esketamine doses of 0.

Background: As a popularly used analgesic adjuvant, intravenous (IV) lidocaine could reduce the consumption of propofol in painless gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. However, whether IV lidocaine could affect the incidence of oxygen-desaturation episodes (ODE) during painless GI endoscopy is still unknown. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that IV lidocaine could decrease the incidence of propofol-induced ODE and involuntary movements in patients during GI endoscopy.
