Background: Improved post-operative outcomes have been demonstrated in gastrointestinal procedures where a narcotic sparing strategy has been utilized. Data for pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) patients is limited. This study reviews an institutional database for outcomes based on initial analgesic strategy.
Methods: 1004 consecutive patients who underwent PD at Emory University between 2010 and 2017, were included in the analysis. Patients were divided into groups based on primary analgesic strategy employed: epidural alone (EPI), patient controlled opiate analgesia (PCA), dual (dual-PCA/EPI) and other (non-PCA/EPI). Postoperative outcomes for each group were analyzed utilizing univariate and multivariate linear regression.
Results: 448 (44.6%) patients were treated with EPI, 300 (29.9%) were given a PCA, 78 (7.8%) had dual-PCA/EPI and 178 (17.7%) had non-PCA/EPI analgesia. On univariate analysis, increased BMI (p = 0.030), PCA use (p < 0.001), venous thromboembolism (VTE) (p < 0.001), post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) (p < 0.001) and Ileus/delayed gastric emptying (DGE) (p < 0.001) were all correlated with increased LOS. On multivariate linear regression, VTE (b-coefficient 9.07, p = 0.004) POPF (8.846, p = 0.001), Ileus/DGE (4.464, p = 0.004) and PCA use (1.75, p = 0.003) were associated with significantly increased LOS.
Conclusion: A primary narcotic sparing strategy is associated with a significantly reduced LOS and lower rates of Ileus/DGE. Mean opiate usage was significantly lower in the EPI and non-EPI/PCA groups.

: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is associated with less postoperative pain than traditional open thoracotomy. However, trocar and chest tube placement may damage the intercostal nerves, causing significant discomfort. An ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) is a promising mode of pain management; this reduces the need for opioids and the associated side-effects.

Introduction: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients under mechanical ventilation experience mild-to-severe pain. International guidelines emphasise the importance and benefits of multimodal analgesia to minimise opioid consumption and its side effects. However, no recommendation about drugs or protocol has been formulated.

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.

Neuropathic pain is a type of pain caused by an injury or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. Currently, there is still absence of effective therapeutic drugs for neuropathic pain, so developing new therapeutic drugs is urgently needed. In the present study, we observed the effect of Comp 6d, a novel silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) activator synthesized in our laboratory, on neuropathic pain and investigated the mechanisms involved.

Objectives: The rationale of adoption opioid-sparing anesthesia (OSA) is to achieve perioperative analgesia with a minimal amount of opioids combined with nonopioid adjuvants during and after surgery, namely multimodal anesthesia. The OSA approach was originally developed to overcome the known complications of opioid-based anesthesia (OA), and the present scoping review (ScR) aims at providing clinical evidence of the safety and efficacy of OSA with respect to OA.
Methods: This ScR is mainly focused on studies presenting evidence on the safety and efficacy of OSA versus OA.
