Study Objective: To determine the efficacy of 2 different doses (150-300mg) of preoperative pregabalin on propofol and remifentanil doses for total intravenous anesthesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Design: Prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study.

Setting: Training and research hospital.

Patients: Forty-eight adult, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status 1 and 2 patients.

Interventions: Patients were randomly assigned to 3 groups to receive orally 1hour before surgery, a placebo group (group 1), pregabalin 150mg (group 2), or pregabalin 300mg (group 3).

Measurements: In the operating room, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, SpO, bispectral index, and body temperature were recorded just before anesthesia induction; 1 and 5minutes after induction; and at minutes 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 of the surgery. Required propofol and remifentanil doses to obtain bispectral index value less than 60 were also recorded.

Main Results: The remifentanil doses used in the pregabalin groups at minutes 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 and propofol doses at minutes 15, 20, 25, and 30 were statistically significantly lower in comparison to the placebo group.

Conclusion: The observations provide preliminary evidence that preoperative pregabalin may decrease anesthetic agent requirement in total intravenous anesthesia patients.

The effects of gabapentin and pregabalin on fracture healing: A histological, radiological, and biomechanical analysis.

Balıkesir Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Ortopedi ve Travmatoloji Anabilim Dalı, 10185 Altıeylül, Balıkesir, Türkiye.

Objectives: This study evaluated the impact of different doses of gabapentin and pregabalin on fracture healing in a rat femoral shaft model, with histological, radiological, and biomechanical assessments.

Materials And Methods: Seventy male Wistar albino rats were divided into five groups: control, low-dose gabapentin (GBP-L, 300 mg/day), high-dose gabapentin (GBP-H, 3600 mg/day), low-dose pregabalin (PRG-L, 150 mg/day), and high-dose pregabalin (PRG-H, 600 mg/day), based on human equivalent doses. Bilateral femoral fractures were induced; the right femurs were prepared for radiological examination using microtomography, followed by histological analysis, whereas the left femurs were allocated for biomechanical testing.

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure using percutaneous devices, such as the Amplatzer occluder, is a common treatment for patients with a history of cryptogenic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Although generally well-tolerated, some patients may develop adverse reactions to the device materials, particularly in the presence of a nickel allergy. Symptoms can include chest pain, rashes, and migraines, which may necessitate surgical removal of the device.

PREGABALIN AS A PREOPERATIVE ADJUVANT IN PATIENTS WITH CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME.

Acta Ortop Bras

October 2024

Irmandade Santa Casa de Misericórdia de São Paulo, Departamento de Ortopedia e Traumatologia "Pavilhao Fernandinho Simonsen", Grupo de Mão e Microcirurgia, Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil.

Objective: To evaluate the pregabalins adjuvant effect in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) surgically treated, analyzing postoperative pain and the incidence of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

Methods: Outpatient surgical candidates with CTS were selected and followed for 12 months, divided into three groups. The Control Group received a placebo, the Pregabalin 75 mg Group received a daily dose, and the Pregabalin 150 mg Group received a daily dose of the medication.

Background: An estimated 185,000 patients per year undergo an extremity amputation in the United States (over 500 amputations/day). Prolonged postoperative opioid use, defined as the presence of a filled opioid prescription between 90 and 180 days following the operative amputation procedure, affects nearly 50% of amputees. Moreover, the use of preoperative benzodiazepines, muscle relaxants, anticonvulsants, and antidepressants is strongly linked to prolonged opioid use suggesting new therapeutic strategies are needed.
