RESUMO
Neuraxial anesthesia in patients with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt devices has traditionally been associated with a high risk of complications. In order to gather all available evidence, a structured search was conducted to include published studies involving users of these devices, undergoing any form of neuraxial technique for obstetric or surgical procedures unrelated to them. Effectiveness of the technique and perioperative complications were assessed. Only case series and case reports (n = 72) were identified. One patient was found to have insufficient anesthetic coverage, necessitating a modification of the technique, and another one had an intraoperative complication which compromised the subject's safety. No infection events or postoperative device dysfunction related to the anesthetic method were described. The evidence found is scarce and of low quality, preventing the establishment of significant conclusions. Nevertheless, patients may obtain benefit from an individualized evaluation.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) as a rescue therapy in the recovery room. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This single-center historical cohort study included patients who received either ESPB or intravenous meperidine for pain management in the recovery room. Patients' numeric rating scale (NRS) scores and opoid consumptions were evaluated. RESULTS: One hundred and eight patients were included in the statistical analysis. Sixty-two (57%) patients received ESPB postoperatively (pESPB) and 46 (43%) patients were managed with IV meperidine boluses only (IV). The cumulative meperidine doses administered were 0 (0-40) and 30 (10-80) mg for the pESPB and IV groups, respectively (p < 0.001). NRS scores of group pESPB were significantly lower than those of Group IV on T30 and T60. CONCLUSION: ESPB reduces the frequency of opioid administration and the amount of opioids administered in the early post-operative period. When post-operative rescue therapy is required, it should be considered before opioids.
OBJETIVO: Evaluar el efecto del bloqueo del plano erector espinal (ESPB) como terapia de rescate en la sala de recuperación. MÉTODO: Este estudio de cohortes histórico de un solo centro incluyó a pacientes que recibieron ESPB o meperidina intravenosa para el tratamiento del dolor en la sala de recuperación. Se evaluaron las puntuaciones de la escala de calificación numérica (NRS) de los pacientes y los consumos de opiáceos. RESULTADOS: En el análisis estadístico se incluyeron 108 pacientes. Recibieron ESPB 62 (57%) pacientes y los otros 46 (43%) fueron manejados solo con bolos de meperidina intravenosa. Las dosis acumuladas de meperidina administradas fueron 0 (0-40) y 30 (10-80) mg para los grupos de ESPB y de meperidina sola, respectivamente (p < 0.001). Las puntuaciones de dolor del grupo ESPB fueron significativamente más bajas que las del grupo de meperidina sola en T30 y T60. CONCLUSIONES: El ESPB reduce la frecuencia de administración de opiáceos y la cantidad de estos administrada en el posoperatorio temprano. Cuando se requiera terapia de rescate posoperatoria, se debe considerar antes que los opiáceos.

The PENG block (pericapsular nerve group) is a recently described technique to address the innervation of the hip, one of the most complex anatomical regions to treat at the locoregional level. We present the case of a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia complicated by avascular necrosis of the bilateral femoral head and previous history of severe chronic pain with probable central sensitization to opioids and a severe thrombocytopenia due to myelotoxicity from chemotherapy treatment. Given the need for orthopaedic surgery to manage femoral necrosis and in anticipation of complex perioperative pain management, a multimodal strategy was planned including bilateral ultrasound-guided continuous PENG blocks to achieve proper pain control in the perioperative period and promote early recovery. The operation and initial recovery were uneventful and the patient was discharged to the ward within 24â¯h and started early rehabilitation as planned. The patient had a successful recovery with good functionality.

Pulmonary artery banding (PAB) is a procedure mainly performed during the neonatal period as an initial stage to definitive palliative reconstruction, a scenario in which the criteria for banding adjustment are well defined. However, the indication for BAP in the adult is extraordinarily rare, even more in patients with single ventricle and unrepaired transposition of the great arteries (TGA), and there are no established criteria for banding adjustment. Due to the small number of these procedures, there is limited experience in their anesthetic management and complications. We describe a case of a 29-year-old patient diagnosed with a cyanotic congenital heart disease of double-inlet left ventricle with TGA and unrepaired mitral stenosis, who underwent to a hybrid procedure of PAB and enlargement of the communication between the two atria.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), despite its minimally invasive nature, requires effective control of post-operative pain. The use of local anesthetics (LA) has been studied, but the level of evidence is low, and there is little information on important parameters such as health-related quality of life (HRQoL) or return to work. The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of 0.50% levobupivacaine infiltration of incisional sites in reducing POP after LC. METHODS: This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind study. Patients undergoing elective LC were randomized into two groups: no infiltration (control group) and port infiltration (intervention group). POP intensity (numerical rating scale, NRS), need for rescue with opioid drugs, PONV incidence, HRQoL, and return to work data, among others, were studied. RESULTS: Two hundred and twelve patients were randomized and analyzed: 105 (control group) and 107 (intervention group). A significant difference was observed in the NRS values (control group mean NRS score: 3.41 ± 1.82 vs. 2.56 ± 1.96) (p < 0.05) and in the incidence of PONV (31.4% vs. 19.6%) (p = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS: Levobupivacaine infiltration is safe and effective in reducing POP, although this does not lead to a shorter hospital stay and does not influence HRQoL, return to work, or overall patient satisfaction.
OBJETIVO: la colecistectomía laparoscópica (CL), a pesar de su carácter mínimamente invasivo, requiere un control efectivo del dolor postoperatorio (POP). El uso de anestésicos locales (AL) ha sido estudiado pero el nivel de evidencia es bajo y existe poca información acerca de parámetros relevantes como la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS) o la reincorporación laboral. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la eficacia de la infiltración de los sitios incisionales con levobupivacaína 0,50% en la reducción del dolor postoperatorio tras la CL. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: estudio prospectivo, aleatorizado y doble ciego. Pacientes sometidos a CL programada fueron aleatorizados en dos grupos: sin infiltración (grupo control) y con infiltración preincisional (grupo intervención). La intensidad del dolor (escala de puntuación numérica, NRS), la necesidad de rescates con opioides, la incidencia de náuseas o vómitos postoperatorios (NVPO) y datos de CVRS o reincorporación laboral, entre otros, fueron recogidos. RESULTADOS: 212 pacientes fueron aleatorizados y analizados: 105 en el grupo control y 107 en el grupo de intervención. Se observó una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en la intensidad del dolor (puntuación media NRS: 3.41 ± 1.82 vs. 2.56 ± 1.96) (p < 0.05) y en la incidencia de NVPO (31.4% vs. 19.6%) (p = 0.049). CONCLUSIONES: La infiltración con levobupivacaína es segura y efectiva en la reducción del dolor postoperatorio, aunque esto no conlleva una menor estancia hospitalaria y no influye en los resultados de CVRS, reincorporación laboral o satisfacción del paciente.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that ultrasound guided costoclavicular block may require a double shot to provide adequate, rapid sensory and motor blockade. In this trial, we hypothesized that if the corner pocket approach (between axillary artery and median cord) is used instead of the central approach (at the midpoint of the 3 cords) when performing single-shot costoclavicular block, the onset of blockade would be non-inferior to the double-shot technique. METHOD: Ninety patients undergoing upper limb surgery were randomized to 2 groups for ultrasound-guided costoclavicular block (CCB) at a tertiary hospital. One group received ultrasound guided single-shot CCB using the corner pocket approach and other received ultrasound guided double-shot - the first shot at the centre of the 3 cords and the second between the axillary artery and the median cord. An observer blinded to group assignment recorded blockade onset time (defined as the time required to achieve a minimal sensorimotor composite score of 14 out of 16 points). RESULTS: Of the 101 patients assessed for eligibility, 90 were recruited over period of 1â¯year (February 2022 to January 2023), with 45 in each group. Onset time was 22.1⯱â¯3.1â¯min in the single-shot group and 22.4⯱â¯2.9â¯min in the double-shot group. This difference was insignificant (Pâ¯=â¯.3). CONCLUSION: Time to onset of blockade and full anaesthesia are similar in single-shot corner pocket CCB vs double-shot CCB. Further studies are required to determine the minimum effective volume of local anaesthetic required for the described technique.
RESUMO
The continuous development of medicine in most fields requires physicians to apply the latest methods and technology to ensure patients' safety. In the field of anesthesiology we are pioneers in the application of measures that guarantee the security of our patients, making possible the greatest reduction in mortality seen among all other specialties. This objective has been achieved thanks to the introduction of changes such as the one presented in this review article. The specific NRFit® connections for neuraxial and other regional anesthesia applications prevent wrong route medication errors to occur. These medication errors have been related to a high morbidity and mortality rate. This article reviews this new technology based in our own two-year experience at Hospital Universitario Príncipe de Asturias (Alcalá de Henares, Madrid) as well as a literature review using PubMed, UpToDate and ClinicalKey.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the range of motion (ROM) of the knee in patients with severe post-traumatic knee arthrofibrosis after being treated with arthroscopic fibroarthrolysis (AFA) and manipulation under anesthesia (MUA). METHODS: Case series of patients with severe post-traumatic knee arthrofibrosis who underwent AFL+MUA in a national referral center. The primary outcome to be assessed was ROM before and after surgery and then at 3-month intervals until a minimum follow-up of one year was completed. RESULTS: 51 patients were included. The main injuries preceding the stiffness were tibial plateau fracture (37.3%), distal femur fracture (27.5%), and femoral shaft fracture (15.7%). Forty-five patients had severe flexion deficits with a median preoperative flexion of 70°. Intraoperative flexion significantly improved to 110°. Significant loss of flexion was observed at 3 and 6 months, however, patients regained ROM in the 9 and 12-month follow-ups. At discharge, 80% of the patients achieved flexion of 90° or more. There were 4 intraoperative complications and 3 reinterventions were performed. CONCLUSION: AFA+MUA can help patients with severe post-traumatic knee arthrofibrosis to recover ROM in most cases. However, this procedure is not without risks and complications, therefore, careful consideration should be given to its indication and execution.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Continuous peripheral nerve blocks are commonly used for pain management. However, the incidence of catheter dislodgement or migration is unclear, and may be underestimated and underreported. Our objective was to assess suprascapular catheter tip positioning before and after routine simulated shoulder physiotherapy manipulation in an anatomical cadaver model. METHOD: Eight ultrasound-guided continuous suprascapular nerve block catheters were placed in cryopreserved fresh cadavers. Computed tomography (CT) confirmed the location of the catheter tip after injection of 1â¯ml of contrast medium. We performed a series of standardized shoulder movements during a simulated shoulder physiotherapy session in cadavers. Following this, we administered 1â¯ml of methylene blue through the catheters, and then performed anatomical dissections to accurately identify the location of the catheter tips and compare them to their placement prior to the 'physiotherapy'. RESULT: CT imaging confirmed the location of the catheter tips at the suprascapular notch in all cases. However, following physiotherapy, 2 catheters (25%) were found to have migrated - specifically, 1 was located in the supraspinatus muscle, and the other was located in the trapezius muscle. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that catheter dislodgement may occur in approximately 25% of cases following simulated physiotherapy manipulation. However, further research is needed to determine the read incidence of catheter dislodgement in clinical practice.

Tubeless anaesthesia has become widespread in videothoracoscopic surgery, even in major procedures such as lobectomies. There are several advantages in avoiding general anaesthesia and one-lung mechanical ventilation, such as faster recovery and shorter hospital stays. However, hypoxaemia and hypercapnia are the most reported causes of conversion to general anaesthesia. High Flow Oxygen Therapy (HFOT) generates flow-dependent positive end-expiratory pressure, improves oxygenation and also carbon dioxide washout by flow-dependent dead space flushing. For this reason, intraoperative HFOT may reduce the rate of conversion to general anaesthesia. We report our experience with intraoperative HFOT in a 71-year-old female with lung adenocarcinoma undergoing VATS upper left lobectomy.

INTRODUCTION: Total hip arthroplasty is one of the most frequent surgical interventions in the hospital setting. Nonetheless, the ideal method to manage post-operative pain is still unknown. Multimodal analgesia techniques based on regional anaesthesia are amongst the most promising solutions. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate postoperative pain after total hip arthroplasty according to whether peripheral nerve block was performed (femoral block, fascia iliaca block and pericapsular nerve group block). Intravenous morphine consumption during the patient's stay in the post-anaesthesia care unit was measured, as well as the number of opioid rescues at 24 and 48â¯h post intervention. As secondary objectives, the prevalence of nerve injury, prolonged quadricipital block, and morphine consumption were established according to other variables of interest. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this observational retrospective study, data was collected from the electronic medical record of 656 traumatological surgery patients from April 2018 to August 2020, with the following inclusion criteria: over 18 years old, ASA I-III, primary total hip arthroplasty under general anaesthesia or subarachnoid anaesthesia (only with hyperbaric bupivacaine) and use of levobupivacaine for peripheral nerve block. RESULTS: A total of 362 patients were selected. The main surgical indication was coxarthrosis (61.3%), followed by hip fracture (22.6%). Peripheral nerve blocks were performed on 169 patients (66.3% femoral, 27.7% PENG, and 6.0% fascia iliaca). Mean postoperative opioid consumption in PACU was lower in patients in who received a PENG (2.2â¯mg) or a femoral (3.27â¯mg) block, compared to those who received neither (6.69â¯mg). There were no differences in opioid rescues at 24 and 48â¯h after the procedure. Nerve injury incidence was low (.8%), and not associated with nerve blocks. The incidence of prolonged quadricipital paralysis was also low (1.3%), and was mainly associated with femoral nerve block (75% of cases). CONCLUSIONS: This retrospective study supports the use of regional blocks as opioid-sparing techniques, highlighting their role in rapid functional recovery with no motor impairment.

Introducción: la gastrosquisis congénita (GC) es una patología con creciente demanda asistencial. Atentos a esto, en el Centro Hospitalario Pereira Rossell (CHPR) se implementó un protocolo de cuidados llevado adelante por un equipo multidisciplinario. En este trabajo nos proponemos evaluar el impacto en la sobrevida y morbilidad a partir de su aplicación. Material y método: estudio comparativo tipo antes y después de pacientes portadores de GC (n = 47), 29 de una cohorte histórica (GH) y 18 de una cohorte posaplicación de protocolo (GP). Con edad gestacional ≥ 36 semanas y peso al nacer ≥ 2500 g, asistidos en el CHPR entre los años 2016 y 2021. Resultados: no se observaron diferencias perinatales entre ambos grupos, ni en la incidencia de GQ complicadas. En el GP se observó mayor incidencia de cierre abdominal precoz (p < 0,01), menor necesidad de realización de silo quirúrgico (p < 0,01), menor tiempo de administración de ventilación mecánica (p = 0,03), de uso total de opioides (p < 0,01), de administración de nutrición parenteral (p = 0,03), e inicio más temprano de la alimentación enteral (p = 0,03). Sin diferencias en la sobrevida al egreso hospitalario. Conclusiones: la aplicación de un protocolo estandarizado se asoció a una reducción significativa en el tiempo de cierre abdominal, de ventilación mecánica, nutrición parenteral y de opioides, con inicio más precoz de la nutrición enteral.
Introduction: congenital gastroschisis is an increasingly demanded pathology, therefore a care protocol was implemented at the Pereira Rossell Pediatric Hospital (CHPR), and it has been carried out by a multidisciplinary team. In this paper, we aim at assessing the morbidity and mortality impact of survival and morbidity of this application. Materials and Methods: comparative before and after study of a historical cohort (GH, n=29) versus a post-protocol application cohort (GP, n=18), in patients with a gestational age ≥36 weeks and birth weight ≥2500 grams assisted in CHPR between 2016-2021. Results: no perinatal differences were observed between both groups or in the incidence of complicated GQ. In the GP, a higher incidence of early abdominal closure was decreased (GH 3.4% vs GP 67%, p<0.01), less need to perform a surgical silo (GH 100% vs GP 33%, p<0.01 ), shorter mechanical ventilation administration time (GH 2 days vs GP 0.5 days, p=0.03), total use of opioids (GH 3.5 days vs GP 7 days, p<0.01) , of administration of parenteral nutrition (GH 24.5 days vs GP 20 days, p=0.03), and earlier start of enteral feeding (GH 11 days vs GP 7 days, p=0.03). No differences in survival after hospital discharge (93% vs 89%, p=0.63). Conclusions: the application of a standardized protocol was linked to a significant reduction in the time of abdominal closure, mechanical ventilation, parenteral nutrition, and opioids, with earlier initiation of enteral nutrition.

Abstract Background After recently published randomized clinical trials, the choice of the best anesthetic procedure for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) is not definite. Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of general anesthesia (GA) versus conscious sedation (CS) in patients with AIS who underwent MT, explicitly focusing on procedural and clinical outcomes and the incidence of adverse events. Methods PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing GA versus CS in patients who underwent MT due to LVO-AIS. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated for binary outcomes, with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Random effects models were used for all outcomes. Heterogeneity was assessed with I2 statistics. Results Eight RCTs (1,300 patients) were included, of whom 650 (50%) underwent GA. Recanalization success was significantly higher in the GA group (OR 1.68; 95% CI 1.26-2.24; p < 0.04) than in CS. No significant difference between groups were found for good functional recovery (OR 1.13; IC 95% 0.76-1.67; p = 0.56), incidence of pneumonia (OR 1.23; IC 95% 0.56- 2,69; p = 0.61), three-month mortality (OR 0.99; IC 95% 0.73-1.34; p = 0.95), or cerebral hemorrhage (OR 0.97; IC 95% 0.68-1.38; p = 0.88). Conclusion Despite the increase in recanalization success rates in the GA group, GA and CS show similar rates of good functional recovery, three-month mortality, incidence of pneumonia, and cerebral hemorrhage in patients undergoing MT.
Resumo Antecedentes A trombectomia mecânica (TM) é o padrão de tratamento para pacientes com acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico agudo (AVCI) devido à oclusão de grandes vasos (OGV). No entanto, ainda não está claro qual é o procedimento anestésico mais benéfico para a TM. Objetivo Nosso objetivo foi comparar a eficácia e a segurança da anestesia geral (AG) versus sedação consciente (SC) em pacientes com AVCI submetidos à TM, focando especificamente nos resultados procedimentais e clínicos, bem como na incidência de eventos adversos. Métodos Foram realizadas buscas sistemáticas nas bases PubMed, Embase e Cochrane por ensaios clínicos randomizados (ECRs) comparando AG versus SC em pacientes submetidos à TM devido a AVCI por OGV. Razões de chances (ORs) foram calculadas para desfechos binários, com intervalos de confiança de 95% (ICs). Modelos de efeitos aleatórios foram usados para todos os resultados. A heterogeneidade foi avaliada com estatísticas I2. Resultados Oito ensaios clínicos randomizados (1.300 pacientes) foram incluídos, dos quais 650 (50%) foram submetidos à AG. O sucesso da recanalização foi significativamente maior no grupo AG (OR 1,68; IC 95% 1,26-2,24; p < 0,04) em comparação com SC. No entanto, não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos para recuperação funcional adequada (OR 1,13; IC 95% 0,76-1,67; p = 0,56), incidência de pneumonia (OR 1,23; IC 95% 0,56- 2,69; p = 0,61), mortalidade em três meses (OR 0,99; IC 95% 0,73- 1,34; p = 0,95) ou hemorragia cerebral (OR 0,97; IC 95% 0,68- 1,38; p = 0,88). Conclusão Apesar do aumento significativo nas taxas de sucesso de recanalização no grupo AG, AG e SC mostram taxas semelhantes de recuperação funcional, mortalidade, pneumonia e hemorragia em pacientes com AVCI submetidos à TM.
RESUMO
Fundamento el dolor postoperatorio se considera un dolor con limitaciones de tiempo, a menudo mal controlado. Su manejo representa un gran desafío, ya que la analgesia postoperatoria debe brindar a la madre un control adecuado de este, y a su vez facilitar la atención del bebé. Objetivo evaluar la efectividad de la anestesia subaracnoidea con morfina como tratamiento del dolor postoperatorio en cesárea. Métodos estudio descriptivo y transversal, realizado en el Hospital General Docente Martín Chang Puga, del municipio de Nuevitas, provincia de Camagüey, entre enero de 2021 y diciembre de 2022. La muestra estuvo conformada por 36 pacientes a las cuales se aplicó anestesia subaracnoidea con lidocaína hiperbárica más morfina para la cesárea. Resultados predominó la edad comprendida entre 27-31 años. El 63,9 % de las cesareadas no refirió dolor postoperatorio. Casi la mitad de la población (47,2 %) estudiada presentó efectos secundarios con el uso de la morfina intratecal, principalmente el prurito. El 80,5 % expresó satisfacción con la analgesia postoperatoria. Conclusiones la mayoría de las pacientes encontraron satisfacción con el tratamiento analgésico, a pesar la presencia de efectos adversos, de modo que el uso de morfina intratecal es efectivo en el manejo del dolor poscesárea.
Foundation Postoperative pain is considered time-limited pain, often poorly controlled. Its management represents a great challenge, since postoperative analgesia must provide the mother with adequate control, and at the same time facilitate care for the baby. Objective to evaluate the effectiveness of subarachnoid anesthesia with morphine as a treatment for postoperative pain in cesarean section. Methods descriptive and cross-sectional study carried out at the Martín Chang Puga General Teaching Hospital, in the Nuevitas municipality, Camagüey province, between January 2021 and December 2022. 36 patients to whom subarachnoid anesthesia was applied with Hyperbaric lidocaine plus morphine for cesarean section were considered as the sample. Results the age between 27-31 years predominated. 63.9% of cesarean patients did not report postoperative pain. Almost half of the population (47.2%) studied presented side effects with the use of intrathecal morphine, mainly pruritus. 80.5% expressed satisfaction with postoperative analgesia. Conclusions the majority of patients were satisfied with the analgesic treatment, despite the presence of adverse effects, so that the use of intrathecal morphine is effective in the management of post-cesarean section pain.
RESUMO
Introducción: La anestesia para craneotomías es desafiante debido a las características del paciente neuroquirúrgico. Objetivo: Describir el comportamiento perioperatorio de los pacientes operados de tumor cerebral supratentorial con anestesia libre de opioides. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, longitudinal y retrospectivo en 75 pacientes intervenidos de tumor cerebral supratentorial con técnica de anestesia libre de opioides entre enero de 2018 a diciembre de 2019, en el Hospital Docente Clínico Quirúrgico General Calixto García. Se analizaron variables hemodinámicas (frecuencia cardíaca, tensión arterial sistólica, diastólica y media) y respiratorias (frecuencia respiratoria, saturación de oxígeno y dióxido de carbono espirado), antecedentes personales y complicaciones posoperatorias. Resultados: La edad promedio fue 54,2 ± 16,8 con predominio de mujeres, pacientes ASA II e hipertensos. El comportamiento de todos los parámetros evaluados estuvo en el rango de la normalidad. El 96 % de los pacientes no presentó complicaciones. Se presentaron cuatro complicaciones en tres pacientes y ninguna de ellas tuvo repercusión clínica importante. Conclusiones: La técnica libre de opioides proporcionó estabilidad en los parámetros hemodinámicos y respiratorios, con escasas complicaciones posoperatorias.
Introduction: Anesthesia for craniotomies is challenging due to the characteristics of the neurosurgical patient. Objective: To describe the perioperative behavior of patients operated on for supratentorial brain tumor with opioid-free anesthesia. Methods: A descriptive, longitudinal and retrospective study was conducted in 75 patients operated on for supratentorial brain tumor with the opioid-free anesthesia technique between January 2018 and December 2019 at Hospital Universitario General Calixto García. Hemodynamic (heart rate, as well as systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure) and respiratory (respiratory rate, oxygen saturation and exhaled carbon dioxide) variables were analyzed, together with individual history and postoperative complications. Results: The average age was 54.2 ± 16.8, with a predominance of women, as well as of ASA II and hypertensive patients. The behavior of all the evaluated parameters was within the normal range. 96 % percent of the patients had no complications. Four complications occurred in three patients and none of them had important clinical repercussions. Conclusions: The opioid-free technique provided stability in hemodynamic and respiratory parameters, with few postoperative complications.
RESUMO
Introducción: La anestesia libre de opioides surge de las alternativas farmacológicas que permiten otra opción anestésica en el arsenal del anestesiólogo. Objetivo: Evaluar la efectividad y seguridad de una técnica anestésica libre de opioides en el paciente intervenido con cirugía bariátrica laparoscópica. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional analítico, prospectivo y longitudinal en 23 pacientes operados con anestesia general multimodal libre de opioides. Pacientes mayores de 18 años con un índice de masa corporal mayor o igual a 35 kg/m2, con estado físico ASA II y III. Se evaluó la analgesia posoperatoria e intraoperatoria como una necesidad de la analgesia de rescate en el tiempo de recuperación y los efectos adversos. Resultados: Se demostró que la edad promedio fue 38,19 ± 8,73 con un predominio en el sexo femenino, los pacientes fueron clasificados como ASA II y obesos grados III. Hubo una estabilidad hemodinámica intraoperatoria. El 82,6 % de los pacientes no presentaron dolor posoperatorio en las primeras 24 h. No se presentaron pacientes con dolor severo. Requirieron analgesia de rescate cinco pacientes (21,7 %) en posoperatorio, y las complicaciones fueron escasas sin repercusión clínica. El tiempo promedio para la extubación fue de 6,7 ± 0,8 min y la recuperación total de 29,6 ± 0,8 min. Conclusiones: La técnica multimodal libre de opioides resultó segura y efectiva, con un adecuado estado de analgesia perioperatoria y escasas complicaciones en los pacientes intervenido con cirugía bariátrica laparoscópica.
Introduction: Opioid-free anesthesia arises from pharmacological alternatives that allow another anesthetic option in the anesthesiologist's arsenal. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of an opioid-free anesthetic technique in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Methods: An analytical, prospective and longitudinal observational study was carried out in 23 patients operated on with opioid-free multimodal general anesthesia. The patients studied were over 18 years of age, with a body mass index greater than or equal to 35 kg/m2, ASA physical status II and III. Postoperative and intraoperative analgesia were evaluated as a need for rescue analgesia in recovery time and adverse effects. Results: It was shown that the average age was 38.19 ± 8.73 with a predominance in the female sex, the patients were classified as ASA II and grade III obese. There was intraoperative hemodynamic stability. 82.6% of patients did not experience postoperative pain in the first 24 hours. There were no patients with severe pain. Five patients (21.7%) required rescue analgesia postoperatively, and complications were rare without clinical repercussions. The average time for extubation was 6.7 ± 0.8 min and total recovery was 29.6 ± 0.8 min. Conclusions: The opioid-free multimodal technique was safe and effective, with adequate state of perioperative analgesia and few complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
