Purpose: Esketamine have anesthetic and analgesic properties. This study aimed to observe the enhancing effect of subanesthetic doses of esketamine (0.15-0.3 mg/kg/h) with dexmedetomidine and remifentanil during anesthesia for liposuction surgery.

Patients And Methods: A total of 155 subjects were randomized with a 1:1 ratio to Group E (esketamine-dexmedetomidine/remifentanil, n=78) or Group C (saline-dexmedetomidine/remifentanil group, n=77). The primary outcome was satisfaction of patient and surgical team with the procedure. The secondary outcomes were the postoperative Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores, hemodynamic and respiratory changes, drug consumption, adverse event rates, and predictors associated with patient satisfaction.

Results: Patient and surgical team satisfaction with the procedure was significantly higher in Group E than in Group C (4.7 ± 0.6 vs 4.2 ± 0.7, P < 0.001; 4.7 ± 0.5 vs 4.4 ± 0.7, P = 0.005). The postoperative AIS (4 [1, 6] vs 5 [2, 9], P = 0.012) and HADS-A (1 [0, 3] vs 2 [0, 6], P = 0.012) scores were significantly lower in Group E than in Group C. Hemodynamic and respiratory parameters were more stable in Group E than in Group C, with the lower opioids consumption of sufentanil (0 [0, 4] vs 5 [2.5, 7.7], P < 0.001) and remifentanil (700 [480, 900] vs 800 [500, 1200], P = 0.023) in Group E compared to Group C. On ordinal logistics regression, postoperative sleep quality (OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.62-0.79), anxiety level (OR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.62-0.95) and recovery time in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) (OR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.56-0.98) were identified as significant predictors associated with patient satisfaction.

Conclusion: A subanesthetic dose of esketamine (0.15-0.3 mg/kg/h) as an adjuvant can improves the sedative and analgesic effects of dexmedetomidine and remifentanil during anesthesia for liposuction surgery.

Background: Posterior spinal fusion (PSF) surgery for correction of idiopathic scoliosis is associated with chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP). In this multicenter study, we describe perioperative multimodal analgesic (MMA) management and characterize postoperative pain, disability, and quality of life over 12 months after PSF in adolescents and young adults.

Methods: Subjects (8-25 years) undergoing PSF were recruited at 6 sites in the United States between 2016 and 2023.

Dexmedetomidine in colon cancer surgery: Evaluating its impact and efficacy.

World J Gastrointest Surg

December 2024

Department of Anaesthesiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bathinda 151001, India.

We present an editorial on an article that highlights the benefits of dexmedetomidine (Dex) in colon cancer surgeries, which have been thoroughly investigated in the referenced publication involving 117 subjects. Of these patients, 59 (group A) received Dex before anesthesia induction, while 58 (group B) received normal saline. Group A patients demonstrated several advantages over Group B, including lower propofol and remifentanil requirements, improved cerebral oxygenation as measured by regional cerebral oxygen saturation, better hemodynamic stability, and reduced incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction.

Background: Postoperative pain usually occur in patients who have undergone functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Remimazolam and dexmedetomidine could enhance the quality of recovery (QoR) after surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of remimazolam and dexmedetomidine with respect to the QoR-40 score of patients who have undergone FESS.

Article Synopsis
  • Opioid-sparing anesthesia (OSA) using dexmedetomidine reduces postoperative pain and opioid consumption compared to traditional opioid-based anesthesia (OBA) in patients undergoing pectus excavatum repair.
  • The study involved 84 patients, showing that those in the OSA group required significantly less morphine-equivalent medication and reported lower pain scores in the first 48 hours after surgery.
  • Recovery times and overall stability during the procedure were similar between the two groups, indicating that OSA is a safe and effective alternative to OBA.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the occurrence and causes of hyper-postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing spinal surgery for lumbar degenerative diseases over an 11-year period, as severe delirium can lead to serious complications.
  • It includes a retrospective review of 7,250 patients from 2011 to 2021, diagnosing cases of delirium using recognized assessment methods and categorizing the incidence trends into three distinct periods.
  • The overall incidence of hyper-postoperative delirium was found to be 1.79%, with a patient average age of 54.5 years, and the study aims to determine factors influencing these trends through statistical analyses.
