Abstract
Background There is an increasing cesarean section (CS) rate in Egypt. Multiple methods are used to manage pain after CS. Objectives This study aimed to assess the effect of ultrasound-guided bilateral ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block on pain reduction after CS. Methods We classified 64 cases of elective CS into two equal groups. The block group underwent the nerve block, and the control group did not. Postoperative pain, morphine consumption, time to analgesic request, and complications were compared between the two groups. Results No significant difference was detected between the two groups regarding patient characteristics or operation duration. However, pain scores during rest and movement were significantly lower in the block group than in controls, especially within the first 12 hours following the operation. Morphine consumption was significantly lower in the block group (4.53 ± 1.456) in group B vs. (8.87 ± 2.013) in group C with P-value < 0.001. Time to the first rescue analgesia was significantly longer in the intervention group than in the other group (12.25 vs. 3.81 hours). Pruritis and nausea incidence was significantly higher in controls than in the block group. The incidence of chronic postoperative pain was significantly lower in the block group. Conclusions The ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block is efficient and safe for managing postoperative pain following CS. It is associated with significant improvement of acute and chronic pain after such operations.

Taylan SB, Bariskaner H. Effects of dexmedetomidine and dexketoprofen on the conduction block of rat sciatic nerve. Neural Regen Res 2020; 15:929-935. [PMID: 31719259 PMCID: PMC6990790 DOI: 10.4103/1673-5374.268926] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2018] [Revised: 12/28/2018] [Accepted: 09/04/2019] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Dexmedetomidine is a selective α2-adrenoceptor agonist that is used because of its sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic effects. Dexketoprofen, which is used as an analgesic, is a nonselective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). The use of dexmedetomidine and dexketoprofen as adjuvants to local anesthetics for the peripheral nerve is gradually increasing. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine and dexketoprofen on conduction block of rat sciatic nerve. The isolated sciatic nerve from adult rats was transferred to a nerve chamber. The compound action potentials (CAPs) were recorded from stimulated nerve with electrophysiological methods. Dexmedetomidine (n = 8) and dexketoprofen (n = 8) were administered in the chamber with cumulative concentrations of 10-9 to 10-5 M, and the CAPs were recorded for 5 and 10 minutes. The CAP parameters were calculated. Both dexmedetomidine and dexketoprofen significantly depressed all CAP parameters in a dose-dependent manner compared with the control group, i.e., the group in which rats did not receive treatment. CAP parameters showed there was no significant difference in nerve conduction inhibition between dexmedetomidine and dexketoprofen. Higher doses of dexmedetomidine suppressed the conduction in the fast-conducting fibers; however, dexketoprofen was found to suppress the conduction in the slow-conducting fibers in a time-dependent manner and suppress the conduction in the medium- and slow-conducting fibers in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that dexmedetomidine and dexketoprofen exhibit better anesthetic effects on peripheral nerve through different ways of action. The experimental procedures were approved by the Necmettin Erbakan University on January 30, 2013 (approval No. 2013-024).

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Intrathecal administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is more efficacious for post-operative pain management. Cyclooxygenase inhibiting non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like (S)-(+)-Ketoprofen, may be effective at lower intrathecal doses than parenteral ones. Preclinical safety regarding possible neurotoxicity associated with the intrathecal (S)-(+)-Ketoprofen was not evaluated. Here we analysed the neurotoxicity of intrathecally administered (S)-(+)-Ketoprofen in rats. METHODS A randomized placebo-controlled experimental study was conducted. Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300g) aged 12-16 weeks were randomly divided into 2 treatments [100 and 800μg (S)-(+)-Ketoprofen] and control (sterile water) groups. Intrathecal catheters were placed via the atlantoaxial space in anesthetized rats. Pinch-toe tests, motor function evaluations and histopathological examinations of the spinal cord and nerve roots were performed at days 3, 7 and 21. Spinal cord sections were evaluated by light microscopy for the dorsal axonal funiculus vacuolation, axonal myelin loss, neuronal chromatolysis, neuritis, meningeal inflammation, adhesions, and fibrosis. RESULTS Rats in all the groups exhibited normal pinch-toe testing response (score=0) and normal gait at each observed time (motor function evaluation score=1). Neurotoxicity was higher with treatments on days 3 and 7 than that on day 21 (2, 3, 0, p=0.044; 2, 5, 0, p=0.029, respectively). On day 7, the total scores reflecting neuronal damage were higher in the 800μg group than those in the 100μg and Control Groups (5, 3, 0, p=0.048, respectively). CONCLUSION Intrathecal (S)-(+)-Ketoprofen caused dose-dependent neurohistopathological changes in rats on days 3 and 7 after injection, suggesting that (S)-(+)-Ketoprofen should not be intrathecally administered.

Abstract
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols for gynecologic (GYN) surgery are increasingly being reported and may be associated with superior outcomes, reduced length of hospital stay, and cost savings. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, in partnership with the American College of Surgeons and the Johns Hopkins Medicine Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality, has developed the Safety Program for Improving Surgical Care and Recovery, which is a nationwide initiative to disseminate best practices in perioperative care to more than 750 hospitals across five major surgical service lines in a 5-year period. The program is designed to identify evidence-based process measures shown to prevent healthcare-associated conditions and hasten recovery after surgery, integrate those into a comprehensive service line-based pathway, and assist hospitals in program implementation. In conjunction with this effort, we have conducted an evidence review of the various anesthesia components which may influence outcomes and facilitate recovery after GYN surgery. A literature search was performed for each intervention, and the highest levels of available evidence were considered. Anesthesiology-related interventions for preoperative (carbohydrate loading/fasting, multimodal preanesthetic medications), intraoperative (standardized intraoperative pathway, regional anesthesia, protective ventilation strategies, fluid minimization) and postoperative (multimodal analgesia) phases of care are included. We have summarized the best available evidence to recommend the anesthetic components of care for ERAS for GYN surgery.

Abstract
In the present study, we evaluated the effects of ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve blocks and intratracheal general anesthesia in the radical surgery of aged cervical cancer. From June 2014 to December 2014, 62 patients diagnosed with aged cervical cancer were enrolled in this study. The patients conformed to the indication of cervical cancer radical surgery. Patients were randomly divided into the test group and the control group according to the random number table with 31 individuals in each group. General anesthesia and compound ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve blocks were applied in the test group, while intratracheal general anesthesia was used in the control group. The results showed that the operative time, awake time and the total dosage of propofol and sufentanil in the test group were significantly lower than those in the control group. The postoperative VAS score, the times to press the automatic control bump and continuous application time of the automatic control bump in the test group were significantly less than those in the control group. The occurrence rate of anesthesia-related adverse reactions in the test group during the perioperative period was significantly lower than that in the control group. Differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). We concluded that ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve blocks significantly improved the analgesic effects during the perioperative and postoperative period in cervical cancer radical surgeries.
