ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Long delays in waiting lists have a negative impact on the principles of equity and providing timely access to care. This study aimed to assess waiting lists for abdominal wall hernia repair (incisional ventral vs. inguinal hernia) to define explicit prioritization criteria. METHODS: A cross-sectional single-center study was designed. Patients in the waiting list for incisional/ventral hernia (n = 42) and inguinal hernia (n = 50) repair were interviewed by phone and completed health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaires (EQ-5D, COMI-hernia, HerQLes) as a measure of severity. Priority was measured as hernia complexity, patient frailty using the modified frailty index (mFI-11), and the consumption of analgesics for hernia. RESULTS: The mean (SD) time on the waiting list was 5.5 (3.2) months (range 1-14). Complex hernia was present in 34.8% of the patients. HRQoL was moderately poor in patients with incisional/ventral hernia (mean HerQL score 66.1), whereas it was moderately good in patients with inguinal hernia (mean COMI-hernia score 3.40). The use of analgesics was higher in patients with incisional/ventral hernia as compared with those with inguinal hernia (1.48 [0.54] vs. 1.31 [0.51], P = 0.021). Worst values of mFI were associated with inguinal hernia as compared with incisional/ventral hernia (0.21 [0.14] vs. 0.12 [0.11]; P = 0.010). CONCLUSION: Explicit criteria for prioritization in the waiting lists may be the consumption of analgesics for patients with incisional/ventral hernia and frailty for patients with inguinal hernia. A reasonable approach seems to establish separate waiting lists for incisional/ventral hernia and inguinal hernia repair.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To compare the analgesic efficacy of epidural administration of 0.2% ropivacaine alone to that of 0.1% ropivacaine plus 0.0002% fentanyl during childbirth. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We performed a prospective, randomized single-blind study of 84 women in labor (aged 16 to 40 y, ASA I-II, weight over 110 kg, height over 150 cm, gestational age 37 to 42 weeks). The women were randomly assigned to two groups: group I consisted of 42 patients who received an initial bolus of 10 ml of ropivacaine 0.2% followed by continuous perfusion of ropivacaine 0.2% at a rate of 6 to 10 ml/h; group II was composed of 42 women who received an initial bolus of ropivacaine 0.2% with 50 micrograms of fentanyl followed by continuous infusion of ropivacaine 0.1% and fentanyl 2 micrograms/ml at a rate of 6 to 10 ml/h. Data recorded were parity and type of delivery, blood pressure, heart rate (HR), time to onset of pain relief, motor blockade on a modified Bromage scale, pain on a visual analog scale (VAS) and fetal HR, Apgar score and arterial and venous pH of umbilical blood. RESULTS: We found no significant differences in demographic or hemodynamic data in mothers or fetuses, in type of delivery or motor block, although the latter tended to be slightly lower in group II. In group II, the total anesthetic dose used was significantly lower (p = 0.003); time until onset of pain relief was significantly shorter (p = 0.044); and VAS scores were significantly lower at 15 min (p = 0.005), 30 min (p = 0.029), 60 min (p = 0.017) and 90 min (p = 0.002). The number of top-up boluses needed for deliveries involving instruments was significantly greater in group II (p = 0.37). CONCLUSION: The protocol of ropivacaine 0.1% with 2 micrograms/ml of fentanyl provides satisfactory analgesia throughout labor, allowing lower doses of local anesthetic to be used, with shorter onset of pain relief and reduced motor blockade; however the analgesia provided is insufficient for deliveries assisted by instruments.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos. Comparar la analgesia en el trabajo de parto entre la administración epidural de ropivacaína al 0,2 por ciento sola y ropivacaína al 0,1 por ciento asociada a fentanilo al 0,0002 por ciento. Pacientes y métodos. Hemos realizado un estudio prospectivo, aleatorio, simple ciego, de 84 gestantes en trabajo de parto, con una edad comprendida entre 16 y 40 años, ASA I-II, peso menor de 110 kg, talla mayor de 150 cm, y edad gestacional entre 37 y 42 semanas, distribuidas en dos grupos: grupo 1: 42 pacientes que recibieron un bolo inicial de 10 ml de ropivacaína al 0,2 por ciento seguido de perfusión continua de ropivacaína al 0,2 por ciento a una velocidad de 6 a 10 ml/h; grupo 2: 42 pacientes que recibieron bolo inicial de ropivacaína al 0,2 por ciento con 50 µg de fentanilo seguido de perfusión continua de ropivacaína al 0,1 por ciento asociada a fentanilo a 2 µg/ml a una velocidad de 6 a 10 ml/h. En los dos grupos se valoró el tipo de parto y la paridad, la presión arterial, la frecuencia cardíaca, el tiempo de latencia, el bloqueo motor según escala modificada de Bromage, el dolor según la escala analógica visual (EVA) y, en el feto, la frecuencia cardíaca, el test de Apgar y el pH umbilical arterial y venoso. Resultados. No encontramos diferencias significativas en los datos demográficos y hemodinámicos de las gestantes, ni en los fetales, ni en el tipo de parto, ni en el bloqueo motor, aunque este último fue ligeramente menor en el segundo grupo. La dosis total de anestésico local empleada fue significativamente menor (p = 0,003) para el grupo de ropivacaína al 0,1 por ciento con fentanilo; el tiempo de inicio de analgesia fue significativamente menor (p = 0,044) para el segundo grupo; así como los valores de EVA que fueron significativamente menores a los 15 (p = 0,005), a los 30 (p = 0,029), a los 60 (p = 0,017) y a los 90 min (p = 0,002) para el segundo grupo. El número de bolos de refuerzo utilizados para los partos instrumentados fue significativamente mayor (p = 0,037) en el segundo grupo. Conclusión. La pauta de ropivacaína al 0,1 por ciento con fentanilo 2 µg/ml, mantiene una analgesia a lo largo del trabajo de parto satisfactoria, permite utilizar menos dosis de anestésico local, con un tiempo de latencia y bloqueo motor menor, aunque es insuficiente en los partos instrumentados (AU)

ABSTRACT

Hypertrophic obstructive myocardiopathy (HOM) is characterised by left ventricular hypertrophy, which causes dynamic obstruction at the exit of the chamber and diastolic dysfunction of the myocardium. The use of epidural anesthesia in patients with HOM is controversial due to the hemodynamic repercussions of reduced preloading and postloading that occur. A 28-year-old woman with HOM was scheduled for cesarean delivery at 36.5 weeks because of delayed intrauterine growth. Satisfactory epidural anesthesia was provided with 0.5% bupivacaine with prior invasive hemodynamic monitoring. Analgesic and anesthetic management of a full-term parturient with HOM is a major challenge for the anesthesiologist. Although elective cesarean under general anesthesia is traditionally suggested for such patients, vaginal delivery with epidural analgesia is currently also being used. However, experience in using epidural anesthesia for cesarean delivery is scarce. For our patient, epidural anesthesia with appropriate hemodynamic monitoring allowed surgery to take place without complications. We therefore believe that the technique might be useful for such patients.

ABSTRACT

La miocardiopatía hipertrófica obstructiva se caracteriza por una hipertrofia del ventrículo izquierdo que ocasiona una obstrucción dinámica a la salida del mismo y una disfunción diastólica del miocardio. La utilización de la anestesia epidural en pacientes afectados de miocardiopatía hipertrófica obstructiva es un tema de controversia debido a las repercusiones hemodinámicas ocasionadas por la reducción de la precarga y de la poscarga que produce.Paciente de 28 años, gestante de 36 semanas y media afectada de miocardiopatía hipertrófica obstructiva a la que se decide practicar una cesárea debido a un retraso de crecimiento intrauterino. Se realizó anestesia epidural con bupivacaína al 0,5 por ciento previa monitorización hemodinámica invasiva con resultados satisfactorios.El manejo analgésico y anestésico de una paciente gestante a término con miocardiopatía hipertrófica obstructiva constituye uno de los mayores retos para el anestesiólogo. Aunque clásicamente se proponía la cesárea electiva para este tipo de pacientes bajo anestesia general, hoy día también se acepta la progresión del parto vaginal con analgesia por vía epidural. Sin embargo la experiencia en la utilización de la anestesia epidural para la cesárea es escasa. En nuestro caso la anestesia epidural junto con una monitorización hemodinámica adecuada permitió llevar a cabo la intervención sin complicaciones, por lo que creemos que puede ser una técnica útil para este tipo de pacientes (AU)
