Abstract
Orthopedic surgeons treating fractures need to consider comorbidities, including chronic kidney disease (CKD), which affects millions worldwide. CKD patients are at elevated risk of fractures due to osteoporosis, especially in advanced stages. In addition, fractures in CKD patients pose challenges due to impaired bone healing and increased post-fracture complications including surgical site infection and nonunion. In this article, we will discuss factors that must be considered when treating fractures in CKD patients. Perioperative management includes careful adjustment of hemodialysis schedules, selection of anesthetic methods, and addressing bleeding tendencies. Tourniquet usage for fractures in limbs with arteriovenous fistulae should be cautious. Pain medication should be administered carefully, with opioids like hydromorphone preferred over nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Medical management after fractures should address underlying factors and include physical rehabilitation to reduce the risk of subsequent fractures. A comprehensive approach to fracture management in CKD patients can improve outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Effective postoperative pain management is necessary to improve the outcomes of older adults undergoing total knee replacement (TKR). Discovering what registered nurses (RNs) need to know about pain management may be beneficial to improving the quality of care. AIM The study aimed to identify the information needed to develop pain management education for RNs caring for older adults undergoing TKR. METHODS A qualitative descriptive design was used in this study. Three focus groups were conducted with 22 staff RNs with experience caring for older adults undergoing TKR at a supra-tertiary care hospital in Bangkok, Thailand; one focus group was conducted with five members of the hospital's nursing pain management committee. Data were analyzed using content analysis. RESULTS Two themes relevant to pain assessment education were pain assessment and pain management. Subthemes of pain assessment included challenges in cognitively impaired older adults, inadequate knowledge and misconceptions, and re-assessing pain. Three subthemes of pain management were created, including knowledge of pain medication, new trends in pharmacological pain management and devices, and non-pharmacological pain management using cold compression. CONCLUSIONS RNs require current information about pain management to provide effective postoperative care for older adults undergoing TKR. The findings may be used in pain management education to update RNs' knowledge of pain management.

Abstract
METHODS Patients undergoing elective laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer from July 2019 to May 2021 were selected. The patients were assigned to Ai-PCIA group and control group. Ai-PCIA group received postoperative analgesia management and effect evaluation through intelligent wireless analgesia system + postoperative follow-up twice a day, while control group received analgesia management and effect evaluation through ward physician feedback + postoperative follow-up twice a day. The pain numerical score (NRS), Richards-Campbell Sleep Scale (RCSQ), and adverse outcomes were collected and compared. RESULTS A total of 60 patients (20 females and 40 males with average (78.26 ± 6.42) years old) were included. The NRS scores at rest and during activity of the Ai-PCA group at 8, 12, and 24 h after the operation were significantly lower than that of the control group (all P < 0.05). The RCSQ score of Ai-PCA group was significantly higher than that of control group on the 1st and 2nd days after operation (all P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidence of dizziness and nausea, vomiting, and myocardial ischemia (all P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Ai-PCIA can improve the analgesic effect and sleep quality of older patients after laparoscopic radical resection, which may be promoted in clinical analgesia practice.

Abstract
Identifying patients at risk for developing side effects secondary to intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA) and making the necessary adjustments in pain management are crucial. We investigated the risk factors of discontinuing IV PCA due to side effects following general surgery; adult patients who received IV PCA after general surgery (2020-2022) were included. Data on postoperative pain intensity, PCA pain relief, side effects, continuity of PCA use, and PCA pump settings were collected from the records of the acute pain management team. The primary outcome was identifying the risk factors associated with PCA discontinuation due to side effects. Of the 8745 patients included, 94.95% used opioid-containing PCA, and 5.05% used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-only PCA; 600 patients discontinued PCA due to side effects. Female sex (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 3.31, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.74-4.01), hepato-pancreatic-biliary surgery (aOR 1.43, 95% CI 1.06-1.94) and background infusion of PCA (aOR 1.42, 95% CI 1.04, 1.94) were associated with an increased likelihood of PCA discontinuation. Preoperative opioid use (aOR 0.49, 95% CI 0.28-0.85) was linked with a decreased likelihood of PCA discontinuation. These findings highlight the importance of individualized pain management, considering patient characteristics and surgical procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the first 24 h after surgery, it is necessary to evaluate the patient responses to pain, analgesia and patient satisfaction to prevent complications related to the pain management process. AIM To evaluate patients' outcomes (pain qualities, side effects of the pain management, pain treatment satisfaction, non-pharmacological pain treatment methods, predictors of pain management satisfaction and percentage of pain relief) according to the Revised American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire (APS-POQ-R) in the first 24 h. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS The study sample was comprised of 700 patients, who were surgically treated at the surgical clinics of a university hospital and completed the first postoperative 24 h. The data was collected through the "Patient Information Form" and the "Turkish version of the revised American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire (APS-POQ-R)". RESULTS The medians of the lowest and the worst postoperative pain severity level were 3.0 and 7.0, respectively. Patients experienced severe pain in 60 % of the first postoperative 24 h and reported that 70 % of their pain eventually decreased. A positive and significant correlation was found between pain interference, pain-affected mood/emotions, the severity of pain-related side effects, the least and worst pain severity levels and severe pain, and the percentage of time experienced with severe pain. CONCLUSIONS Most of the patients experienced severe pain, which restricted their daily life activities and led to negative emotions. Acute postoperative pain may negatively affect patient outcomes and delay postoperative recovery during the early period. Therefore, pain should be managed in the early period to prevent physical and psychological side effects.

Abstract
Background Surgical stress and pain result in activation of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis. The aim of this study was to establish the effects of postoperative pain and various modalities of analgesic administration on salivary and serum cortisol levels, as well as to establish the validity of salivary cortisol as a stress indicator in surgical patients. Methods A randomized controlled trial involved 60 patients scheduled for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery. Patients were randomly divided into two groups depending on the model of postoperative analgesia. The first group (MI - morphine intermittently) included patients given morphine doses 0.1 mg/kg/6h s.c. intermittently. The second group (MPCA - morphine patient-controlled analgesia) included patients who received morphine via the PCA system - intravenous administration of morphine adjusted to a dose of 1 mg per shot and a lockout interval of 6 minutes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient Controlled Analgesia is a popular technique used to manage postoperative pain. The suitability of Patient Controlled Analgesia in older patients after surgical procedures and its effect on postoperative outcomes are not clear. METHOD The records of 305 older patients undergoing orthopaedic surgeries in a single tertiary centre were reviewed. Postoperative outcomes were compared between those given Patient Controlled Analgesia and those who were not, using multinomial logistic regression adjusted by propensity scores. RESULTS Physical function on day 3 after surgery is worse, and risk of requiring personal assistance is higher if the patient had Patient Controlled Analgesia (p = 0.01). Length of stay in patients using patient-controlled analgesia was longer than patients not using patient-controlled analgesia (p = 0.002), and patients given Patient Controlled Analgesia had higher odds of needing support on discharge (p = 0.01). Surprisingly, pain control is poor in the Patient Controlled Analgesia group (p = 0.009). CONCLUSION In this review, Patient Controlled Analgesia use was common (40% of our sample), and postoperative outcomes such as physical function on day 3, length of stay and discharge destination were unfavourable in patients who had Patient Controlled Analgesia.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine (DEX) for postoperative patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA). Measurements: Two investigators independently searched Pubmed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library and CBM for randomized controlled trials of DEX for PCIA. Main results: Thirty-seven studies with a total of 5,409 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with analgesics alone, DEX for PCIA reduced pain score at 24 h [mean difference (MD) = -0.70; 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.85, -0.54; p < 0.00001, I 2 = 90%] and 48 h postoperatively (MD = -0.43; 95% CI: -0.52, -0.34; p < 0.00001, I 2 = 96%). Moreover, DEX reduced analgesics consumption during the first 24 h [standardized mean difference (SMD) = -0.25; 95% CI: -0.34, -0.16; p < 0.00001, I 2 = 91%] and the number of resuscitation analgesics administered [odds ratio (OR) = 0.54; 95% CI: 0.44, 0.66; p < 0.00001, I 2 = 72%]. Furthermore, DEX improved patient satisfaction (OR = 3.55; 95% CI: 2.36, 5.35; p < 0.00001, I 2 = 60%), and reduced incidence of side effects, such as postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) (OR = 0.47; 95% CI: 0.39, 0.57; p < 0.00001, I 2 = 59%) and pruritus after surgery (OR = 0.45; 95% CI: 0.30, 0.68; p = 0.0001, I 2 = 0%). Besides, DEX attenuates inflammatory cytokine levels, such as IL-6 (MD = -5.73; 95% CI: -8.34, -3.12; p < 0.00001, I 2 = 91%) and TNF-α (MD = -0.63; 95% CI: -0.76, -0.50; p < 0.00001, I 2 = 89%). Finally, DEX increased the risk of bradycardia (OR = 1.66; 95% CI: 1.12, 2.45; p = 0.01, I 2 = 15%), but the complication of hypotension did not differ between the two groups (OR = 1.30; 95% CI: 0.84, 2.04; p = 0.25, I 2 = 0%). Conclusion: DEX is used for postoperative PCIA analgesia, which can significantly improve the analgesic effect, effectively control postoperative inflammatory response, reduce the dosage and adverse reactions of analgesics, and improve postoperative patient satisfaction. Of course, the impact of the immunosuppressive effect of DEX on the prognosis of patients needs further study. Systematic review registration: CRD42022340933, https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poorly controlled acute postoperative pain after laparoscopic nephrectomy may adversely affect surgical outcomes and increase morbidity rates. In addition, excessive use of opioids during surgery may slow postoperative endocrine and metabolic responses and cause opioid-related side effects and opioid-induced hyperalgesia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block on the postoperative quality of recovery and intraoperative remifentanil requirement in laparoscopic nephrectomy. METHODS Sixty patients who underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy were randomly divided into 2 groups: TAP and Control groups. After induction of anesthesia and before awakening from anesthesia, the TAP group was administered 40 mL of 0.375% ropivacaine and the Control group was administered 40 mL of normal saline to deliver ultrasound-guided TAP block using 20 mL of each of the above drugs. The main objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the TAP block on quality of recovery using the Quality of Recovery 40 (QoR-40) questionnaire and assessments of intraoperative remifentanil requirement. In addition, to evaluate the postoperative analgesic effect of the TAP block, the total usage time for patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and the number of PCA bolus buttons used in both groups were analyzed. RESULTS The QoR-40 score, measured when visiting the ward on the third day after surgery, was significantly higher in the TAP group (171.9 ± 23.1) than in the Control group (151.9 ± 28.1) (P = .006). The intraoperative remifentanil requirement was not significantly different between the groups (P = .439). In the TAP group, the frequency of bolus dose accumulation at 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after surgery was low enough to show a significant difference, and the total usage time for PCA was long enough to show a significant difference. CONCLUSION In conclusion, we determined that ultrasound-guided TAP block during laparoscopic nephrectomy improves the quality of postoperative recovery and is effective for postoperative pain control but does not affect the amount of remifentanil required for adequate anesthesia during surgery.

Abstract
Background and Aims In this study, we aimed to compare the transversus abdominis plan block (TAP) and quadratus lumborum block (QL) efficacy for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing varicocelectomy under spinal anesthesia. Methods American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 1 and 2 patients, aged 18-45 years, who underwent varicocelectomy operation under elective conditions, were included. Eighty patients were divided into three groups as TAP group, QL group, and control group by prospective randomization. The patients were operated under spinal anesthesia. At the end of the operation, TAP was applied to the TAP group with a posterior approach using ultrasound (USG) in the supine position. To the QL group, the patient was placed in the lateral decubitus position and the lateral QL was applied via USG. No block type was applied to the control group. Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) device containing tramadol was administered intravenously at the end of the surgery in all groups. Visual analogue scale (VAS) score was questioned at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 18, 24 h in the follow-up of the patients. Intravenous 1 g paracetamol was given over VAS 4. PCA usage time and usage amounts were recorded. Results As a result of comparing the groups according to the VAS scores at all hours were significantly different between the three groups (p < 0.001). There was a significant difference between the groups when comparing the number of PCA bolus administrations (p < 0.001). TAP and QL blocks significantly reduced the number of PCA bolus when compared with the control group (p < 0.001) but the number of PCA bolus was found to be similar between TAP and QL blocks (p > 0.05). Conclusion TAP and QL, which are administered to evaluate the effectiveness of postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing varicocelectomy under spinal anesthesia, are both effective in reducing pain scores and the amount of analgesia consumption.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Complete postoperative analgesia is very important for puerperae after cesarean section. The objective of this study was to explore the optimal postoperative analgesia after cesarean section. METHODS A total of 180 full-term puerperae who underwent cesarean section in Hanzhong People's Hospital from March 2019 to March 2020 were enrolled and were randomly divided into three groups. Group A was given 0.9% normal saline, group B and C were given 0.4% ropivacaine for transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB). Postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) pumps were 2 μg/kg sufentanil + 2.5 mg droperidol, 1.5 μg/kg and 1.3 μg/kg sufentanil, respectively. All puerperae were given different but effective analgesia programs. The primary outcome indicators were visual analog scores (VAS), the first compression time of postoperative analgesia pump and the total number of compressions in 48 h. The secondary outcome indicators were vital signs, Ramsay sedation scores, comfort scores (BCS), the frequency of analgesic rescue, postoperative side effects and satisfaction. RESULTS The dynamic and static VAS scores of the puerperae in group B at T2 and T6 were significantly lower than group A and at T12, T24 and T48 were significantly lower than group C. Compared with group A, the dynamic and static VAS scores of puerperae in group C were lower at T2 and T6 and higher at T12, T24 and T48. The Ramsay score and BCS score of the puerperae in group C at T12, T24 and T48 were significantly lower than those in groups A and B. CONCLUSIONS PCIA with sufentanil alone or combined with TAPB can be safely and effectively used for postoperative analgesia after cesarean section. PCIA combined with TAPB had better analgesic effect and lower incidence of side effects while reducing the dose of opioids. The results of this study provide new ideas and insights for the choice of analgesia after cesarean section.

Abstract
Tonsillectomy is a frequently performed surgical procedure in children, requiring post-operative analgesia. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of nalbuphine or sufentanil combined with dexmedetomidine for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after pediatric tonsillectomy adenoidectomy. A total of 400 patients undergoing tonsillectomy with and without adenoidectomy were included in the study. Patients received a PCIA pump (0.5 mg/kg nalbuphine, 2 μg/kg dexmedetomidine and 0.9% sodium chloride to a total volume of 100 ml) for postoperative pain management were classified into Group ND (n = 200). Patients received a PCIA pump (2 μg/kg sufentanil, 2 μg/kg dexmedetomidine and 0.9% sodium chloride to a total volume of 100 ml) for postoperative pain management were classified into Group SD (n = 200). More stable hemodynamic changes were noted in Group ND than Group SD from 1 h to 48 h after operation. At 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after operation, the children in Group ND had higher Ramsay sedation scores than those in Group SD. The times to push the PCIA button in Group ND and Group SD were 2.44 ± 0.74 and 2.62 ± 1.00, showing significant differences (p = 0.041). The VASR scores of children in Group ND were significantly lower within 6, 12, and 24 h than those in Group SD (p < 0.05). The VASC scores of children in Group ND were significantly lower within four time points (2, 6, 12, and 24 h) than those in Group SD (p < 0.05). At 1st day after surgery, the children in Group ND had lower levels of serum ACTH, IL-6, and COR levels than those in Group SD (p < 0.001). The incidence rates of nausea and vomiting, and pruritus were significantly higher in Group SD than Group ND (5.00% vs. 11.00%, p = 0.028; 1.00% vs. 4.50%, p = 0.032). The total incidence rate of adverse reactions was significantly higher in Group SD than Group ND (15.00% vs. 31.00%, p = 0.0001). The study demonstrated that dexmedetomidine added to nalbuphine PCIA enhanced the analgesic effects, attenuated the postoperative pain, and reduced the stress response after pediatric tonsillectomy adenoidectomy.

Abstract
Background: Opioid usage in cardiac surgery is considered to be the corner stone in management. Inadequate pain control after cardiac surgery complicates patient recovery and increases the load on healthcare services. Multimodal analgesia can be used to achieve better analgesic effect and improves patient outcome. Material and methods: A total of 90 patients undergoing cardiac surgery with median sternotomy were randomly allocated equally into three groups intraoperatively where first group received continuous infusion of high dose opioids, second group received boluses of low dose opioids and third group received multimodal non opioid analgesics including dexmedetomidine, ketamine and magnesium sulphate. All patients received the same post-operative analgesic regimen consists of morphine patient controlled analgesia (PCA). Results: Patients in multimodal non opioid group had more stable hemodynamics intra and postoperatively. Also, patients in multimodal group had lower pain scores extubation, earlier extubation, shorter ICU stay, earlier mobilization and earlier return of bowel movements compared to patients of both groups received intraoperative higher opioid doses.
