Ahmed SA, Lotfy HA, Mostafa TAH. The effect of adding dexmedetomidine or dexamethasone to bupivacaine-fentanyl mixture in spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. J Anaesthesiol Clin Pharmacol 2024; 40:82-89. [PMID: 38666154 PMCID: PMC11042101 DOI: 10.4103/joacp.joacp_396_22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims Many strategies are available to prevent spinal-induced hypotension in cesarean section, especially the use of a low dose of spinal anesthesia combined with adjuvants. This study investigated the effect of adding either dexmedetomidine or dexamethasone to the intrathecal bupivacaine-fentanyl mixture on the postoperative analgesia duration, after elective cesarean section. Material and Methods This prospective, randomized, double-blind study was conducted on 90 full-term parturients undergoing elective cesarean section, who were randomly distributed into three groups. They all received spinal anesthesia with the bupivacaine-fentanyl mixture (2.5 ml), in addition to 0.5 ml normal saline (control group), 5 μg dexmedetomidine dissolved in 0.5 ml normal saline (dexmedetomidine group), or 2 mg dexamethasone (dexamethasone group). The time to the first request of morphine rescue analgesia was recorded, in addition to the total dose of morphine consumed in the first 24 h after surgery, the postoperative numerical rating score (NRS), and maternal and fetal outcomes. Results As compared to the control group and the dexamethasone group, the use of dexmedetomidine as an additive to the bupivacaine-fentanyl mixture significantly prolonged the time to the first request of rescue analgesia, decreased postoperative morphine consumption, and decreased the pain score 4 and 6 h after surgery. There was an insignificant difference between the control and dexamethasone groups. Conclusion The use of dexmedetomidine as an additive to bupivacaine-fentanyl mixture in spinal anesthesia for cesarean section prolonged the postoperative analgesia and decreased the postoperative opioid consumption in comparison to the addition of dexamethasone or normal saline.

Analgesic efficacy of superficial versus deep serratus plane block for modified radical mastectomy under general anaesthesia: A randomised comparative study. Indian J Anaesth 2022; 66:S307-S313. [PMID: 36425922 PMCID: PMC9680724 DOI: 10.4103/ija.ija_149_22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2022] [Revised: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Serratus anterior plane (SAP) blocks can be given either superficial or deep to the serratus anterior muscle to block the branches of intercostal nerves providing analgesia to the anterolateral chest wall. This prospective randomised comparative study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy of superficial and deep SAP block in breast surgeries. METHODS Forty female patients scheduled to undergo elective modified radical mastectomy under general anaesthesia (GA) were randomly assigned to receive ultrasound guided SAP block with 30 ml 0.375% ropivacaine either superficial (group S, n = 20) or deep (group D, n = 20) to the serratus anterior muscle, before the induction of GA. The primary outcome was post operative fentanyl requirement over 24 hours and secondary outcomes were comparison of numerical rating scale (NRS) scores for pain, sensory block mapping, time to perform the block, number of needle attempts, etc. RESULTS The post operative 24-hour fentanyl requirement was comparable between group S and D (318.75 ± 80.65 versus 272.5 ± 80.25 μg, P = 0.07). NRS pain scores were comparable between the groups. Sensory block mapping done at various levels showed T3-T7 block in most of the patients with no difference between the groups. Block performance time (6.05 ± 3.27 versus 8.35 ± 3.26 minutes, P = 0.034) and number of needle attempts was significantly lesser in group D. CONCLUSION There was no difference in analgesic efficacy when SAP block was given superficial or deep to serratus anterior muscle for modified radical mastectomies. However, deep SAP block required less time and number of attempts to perform than superficial technique.

Ropivacaine with Dexmedetomidine or Dexamethasone in a Thoracic Paravertebral Nerve Block Combined with an Erector Spinae Plane Block for Thoracoscopic Lobectomy Analgesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Drug Des Devel Ther 2022; 16:1561-1571.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the effect of ropivacaine with dexmedetomidine or dexamethasone in a thoracic paravertebral nerve block (TPVB) combined with an erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for thoracoscopic lobectomy analgesia. Methods A total of 97 patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy under general anesthesia were enrolled in this study and randomly divided into three groups, ie, a ropivacaine group (Group R), a ropivacaine + dexmedetomidine group (Group R1), and a ropivacaine + dexamethasone group (Group R2). Ultrasound-guided TPVB combined with an erector spinae plane block was given after anesthesia induction. The following were applied to each group: Group R received 30 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine + 5 mL of a normal saline mixture; Group R1 received 30 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine + 5 mL of a 1 μg/kg dexmedetomidine mixture; Group R2 received 30 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine + 5 mL of an 8 mg dexamethasone mixture. The primary observation index was the time to the first postoperative remedial analgesia. The secondary observation indexes were the intraoperative consumption of propofol and sufentanil, time to waking from anesthesia, time to extubation, postoperative numerical rating scaltpe (NRS) score, postoperative sufentanil consumption, remedial analgesic dosage, and adverse reactions. Results When compared with Group R, the time to first postoperative remedial analgesia was longer, the intraoperative and postoperative sufentanil consumption and flurbiprofen axetil remedial analgesic dose were lower, and the time to waking from anesthesia and time to extubation were shorter in groups R1 and R2 (P < 0.05). The NRS scores at 1, 6, 12, and 24 h postoperatively in groups R1 and R2 were lower than in Group R at the same time points (P < 0.05). Conclusion Ropivacaine with dexmedetomidine or dexamethasone in TPVB combined with ESPB could prolong the time to first postoperative remedial analgesia, reduce perioperative sufentanil and postoperative remedial analgesic drug consumption, and decrease the postoperative NRS score in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy.

Abstract
Objective Serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) provides effective thoracic analgesia. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of SAPB for postoperative analgesia after breast surgery. Methods A systematic literature search was performed using Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for eligible randomised controlled trials. The primary outcomes involved the administration of intraoperative and postoperative opioids. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was used for rating the quality of evidence for making recommendations. Results Overall, 13 studies comprising 826 patients met the inclusion criteria (412 in the SAPB group and 414 in the control group). Patients treated with SAPB exhibited a significantly lower postoperative opioid consumption (mean difference, −38.51 mg of oral morphine equivalent; 95% confidence interval (CI), −60.97 to −16.05; P < 0.01; I2 = 100%), whereas no difference was observed in the intraoperative opioid consumption (mean difference, −9.85 mg of oral morphine equivalent; 95% CI, −19.52 to −0.18; P=0.05; I2 = 94%). In addition, SAPB significantly decreased the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (risk ratio, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.19–0.55; P < 0.05;I2 = 38%) and reduced pain scores during the postoperative period (1 h: standardised mean difference (SMD), −1.23; 95% CI, −2.00 to −0.45; I2 = 92%; 2 h: SMD, −0.71; 95% CI, −1.00 to −0.41; I2 = 48%; 4 h: SMD, −1.52; 95% CI, −2.77 to −0.27; I2 = 95%; 6 h: SMD, −0.80; 95% CI, −1.51 to −0.08; I2 = 81%; 8 h: SMD, −1.12; 95% CI, −1.98 to −0.27; I2 = 92%; 12 h: SMD, −0.78; 95% CI, −1.21 to −0.35; I2 = 83%; and 24 h: SMD, −0.71; 95% CI, −1.20 to −0.23; I2 = 87%; P < 0.05 for all). Conclusion SAPB was safe and effective after breast surgery to relieve postsurgical pain. However, additional well-developed trials are required to validate these findings.
