Octubre 19, 2017. No. 2886




Gabapentinoides como parte de un régimen multimodal para alivio del dolor después de colecistectomía laparoscópica. Estudio randomizado
Gabapentinoids as a Part of Multi-modal Drug Regime for Pain Relief following Laproscopic Cholecystectomy: A Randomized Study.
Anesth Essays Res. 2017 Jul-Sep;11(3):676-680. doi: 10.4103/0259-1162.204208.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Gabapentinoids have been used as preemptive analgesics for pain management following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Recently, multimodal analgesic techniques have been found superior to preemptive analgesia alone. AIM: The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare a single preoperative dose of pregabalin 150 mg and gabapentin 300 mg for pain relief following laparoscopic cholecystectomy as a part of multimodal drug regime. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: This randomized, single-blind study was conducted after Ethical Committee approval and written informed consent from the patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia were randomly allocated to receive either 150 mg pregabalin (Group PG), or 300 mg gabapentin (Group GB) orally, 2 h before surgery. Standard anesthesia induction and maintenance were done. For intraoperative pain management, injection fentanyl 2 μg.kg-1 intravenous (IV) along with injection voveran 75 mg IV and port site infiltration was used. Postoperatively, injection diclofenac 75 mg intramuscular TDS was continued. Severity of postoperative pain (visual analog scale [VAS]), postoperative fentanyl requirement and incidence, and severity of side effects were assessed. When VAS >40 mm or on patient's request, a Fentanyl bolus at an increment of 25-50 μg IV was given as rescue analgesia. RESULTS: Intraoperative fentanyl requirement was 135 ± 14 μg in Group PG and 140 ± 14 μg in Group GB (P = 0.21). Postoperative, fentanyl requirement was 123 ± 18 μg in Group PG and 131 ± 23 μg in Group GB (P = 0.17) There was no statistically significant difference in the VAS score for static and dynamic pain. Time to the first requirement of analgesic was 5.4 ± 1.1 h in Group PG and 4.6 ± 1.6 h in Group GB (P = 0.015). No side effects were observed. CONCLUSION: We conclude that a single preoperative dose of pregabalin (150 mg) or gabapentin (300 mg) are equally efficacious in providing pain relief following laparoscopic cholecystectomy as a part of multimodal regime without any side effects.

Pregabalina puede disminuir el dolor agudo y el consumo de morfina en pacientes con colecistetomía laparoscópica. Meta-análisis de estudios controlados
Pregabalin can decrease acute pain and morphine consumption in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Medicine (Baltimore). 2017 May;96(21):e6982. doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000006982.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Pregabalin has been used as an adjunct for the management of acute pain in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This meta-analysis aimed to illustrate the efficacy and safety of pregabalin for pain management following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. 
CONCLUSIONS: Pregabalin was efficacious in the reduction of postoperative pain, total morphine consumption, and morphine-related complications following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In addition, a high dose of pregabalin was more effective than a low dose. The dose of pregabalin differed across the studies, and the heterogeneity was large. More studies are needed to verify the optimal dose of pregabalin in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients.
Dexmedetomidina en el manejo perioperatorio del dolor agudo. Un coadyuvante analgésico no opioide
Dexmedetomidine in perioperative acute pain management: a non-opioid adjuvant analgesic.
J Pain Res. 2017 Aug 11;10:1899-1904. doi: 10.2147/JPR.S139387. eCollection 2017.
Abstract
Many nociceptive, inflammatory, and neuropathic pathways contribute to perioperative pain. Although opioids have long been a mainstay for perioperative analgesia, other non-opioid therapies, and dexmedetomidine, in particular, have been increasingly used as part of a multimodalanalgesic regimen to provide improved pain control while minimizing opioid-related side effects. This article reviews the evidence supporting the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative efficacy of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant, and the efficacy of intravenous, spinal canal, and nerve block analgesia with dexmedetomidine for perioperative acute pain treatment. While there have not been any large-scale clinical trials conducted, the current body of evidence suggests that dexmedetomidine is suitable for use as an adjuvant analgesic at all perioperative stages. However, there are potential adverse effects, such as hypotension and bradycardia, which must be taken into consideration by clinicians.
KEYWORDS: adjuvant; analgesia; dexmedetomidine; non-opioid; perioperative pain

Abstract

PURPOSE:

To evaluate the zonal differences in risk and pattern of pedicle screw perforations in adolescentidiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients.

METHODS:

The scoliosis curves were divided into eight zones. CT scans were used to assess perforations: Grade 0, Grade 1(< 2 mm), Grade 2(2-4 mm) and Grade 3(> 4 mm). Anterior perforations were classified into Grade 0, Grade 1(< 4 mm), Grade 2(4-6 mm) and Grade 3(> 6 mm). Grade 2 and 3 (except lateral grade 2 and 3 perforation over thoracic vertebrae) were considered as ‘critical perforations’.

RESULTS:

1986 screws in 137 patients were analyzed. The overall perforation rate was 8.4% after exclusion of the lateral perforation. The highest medial perforation rate was at the transitional proximal thoracic (PT)/main thoracic (MT) zone (6.9%), followed by concave lumbar (6.7%) and convex main thoracic (MT) zone (6.1%). The overall critical medial perforation rate was 0.9%. 33.3% occurred at convex MT and 22.2% occurred at transitional PT/MT zone. There were 39 anterior perforations (overall perforation rate of 2.0%). 43.6% occurred at transitional PT/MT zone, whereas 23.1% occurred at concave PT zone. The overall critical anterior perforation rate was 0.6%. 5/12 (41.7%) critical perforations occurred at concave PT zone, whereas four perforations occurred at the transitional PT/MT zone. There were only two symptomatic left medial grade 2 perforations (0.1%) resulting radiculopathy, occurring at the transitional main thoracic (MT)/Lumbar (L) zone.

CONCLUSION:

Overall pedicle perforation rate was 8.4%. Highest rate of critical medial perforation was at the convex MT zone and the transitional PT/MT zone, whereas highest rate of critical anterior perforation was at the concave PT zone and the transitional PT/MT zone. The rate of symptomatic perforations was 0.1%.

Resumen
PROPÓSITO:
Evaluar las diferencias zonales en el riesgo y el patrón de perforaciones de tornillo pedicular en pacientes con escoliosis idiopática en adolescentes (AIS).
MÉTODOS:
Las curvas de escoliosis se dividieron en ocho zonas. Se usaron tomografías computarizadas para evaluar las perforaciones: Grado 0, Grado 1 (<2 mm), Grado 2 (2-4 mm) y Grado 3 (> 4 mm). Las perforaciones anteriores se clasificaron en Grado 0, Grado 1 (<4 mm), Grado 2 (4-6 mm) y Grado 3 (> 6 mm). Los grados 2 y 3 (excepto la perforación lateral de grado 2 y 3 sobre las vértebras torácicas) se consideraron como “perforaciones críticas”.
RESULTADOS:
1986 tornillos en 137 pacientes fueron analizados. La tasa de perforación global fue del 8,4% después de la exclusión de la perforación lateral. La tasa más alta de perforación medial fue en la zona torácica proximal de transición (PT) / torácica principal (MT) (6,9%), seguida de la zona torácica principal (MT) lumbar cóncava (6,7%) y convexa (6,1%). La tasa de perforación medial crítica global fue del 0.9%. 33.3% ocurrieron en MT convexa y 22.2% ocurrieron en la zona de transición PT / MT. Hubo 39 perforaciones anteriores (tasa de perforación global de 2.0%). 43.6% ocurrieron en la zona transitoria de PT / MT, mientras que 23.1% ocurrieron en la zona PT cóncava. La tasa de perforación anterior crítica global fue del 0,6%. 5/12 (41.7%) perforaciones críticas ocurrieron en la zona PT cóncava, mientras que cuatro perforaciones ocurrieron en la zona transitoria PT / MT. Solo hubo dos perforaciones sintomáticas de grado medial izquierdo 2 (0.1%) que dieron como resultado una radiculopatía, que se produjo en la zona principal de transición torácica (MT) / Lumbar (L).
CONCLUSIÓN:
La tasa global de perforación pedicular fue del 8,4%. La tasa más alta de perforación medial crítica fue en la zona convexa MT y la zona transitoria PT / MT, mientras que la tasa más alta de perforación anterior crítica fue en la zona PT cóncava y en la zona transitoria PT / MT. La tasa de perforaciones sintomáticas fue del 0,1%.

Mecanismos, cofactors y factores de aumento involucrados en la anafilaxia
Mechanisms, Cofactors, and Augmenting Factors Involved in Anaphylaxis.
Front Immunol. 2017 Sep 26;8:1193. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2017.01193. eCollection 2017.
Abstract
Anaphylaxis is an acute and life-threatening systemic reaction. Many triggers have been described, including food, drug, and hymenoptera allergens, which are the most frequently involved. The mechanisms described in anaphylactic reactions are complex and implicate a diversity of pathways. Some of these mechanisms may be key to the development of the anaphylactic reaction, while others may only modify its severity. Although specific IgE, mast cells, and basophils are considered the principal players in anaphylaxis, alternative mechanisms have been proposed in non-IgE anaphylactic reactions. Neutrophils, macrophages, as well as basophils, have been involved, as have IgG-dependent, complement and contact system activation. A range of cationic substances can induce antibody-independent mast cells activation through MRGPRX2 receptor. Cofactors and augmenting factors may explain why, in some patients, food allergen exposure can cause anaphylaxis, while in other clinical scenario it can be tolerated or elicits a mild reaction. With the influence of these factors, food allergic reactions may be induced at lower doses of allergen and/or become more severe. Exercise, alcohol, estrogens, and some drugs such as Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, β-blockers, and lipid-lowering drugs are the main factors described, though their mechanisms and signaling pathways are poorly understood.

Abstract
Anaphylaxis is an acute, life-threatening, multisystem syndrome resulting from the sudden release of mediators from effector cells. There are two potential pathways for anaphylaxis. The first one, IgE-dependent anaphylaxis, is induced by antigen (Ag) cross-linking of Ag-specific IgE bound to the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) on mast cells and basophils. The second one, IgG-dependent anaphylaxis is induced by Ag cross-linking of Ag-specific IgG bound to IgG receptors (FcγRI, FcγRIIA, FcγRIIB, FcγRIIC, and FcγRIIIA) on macrophages, neutrophils, and basophils. Macrophages exhibit a huge functional plasticity and are capable of exerting their scavenging, bactericidal, and regulatory functions under a wide variety of tissue conditions. Herein, we will review their potential role in the triggering and development of anaphylaxis. Thereby, macrophages, among other immune cells, play a role in both anaphylactic pathways (1) by responding to anaphylactic mediators secreted by mast cells after specific IgE cross-linking or (2) by acting as effector cells in the anaphylactic response mediated by IgG. In this review, we will go over the cellular and molecular mechanisms that take place in the above-mentioned anaphylactic pathways and will discuss the clinical implications in human allergic reactions.

Alergia a las benzodiazepinas con administración de anestesia: revisión de la literatura actual.
Benzodiazepine Allergy With Anesthesia Administration: A Review of Current Literature.
Anesth Prog. Fall 2016;63(3):160-7. doi: 10.2344/16-00019.1.
Abstract
The incidence of anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions has been reported to vary between 1:3500 and 1:20,000 cases with a mortality rate ranging from 3 to 9%. Clinical signs present as skin rash, urticaria, angioedema, bronchospasm, tachycardia, bradycardia, and hypotension. Rapid identification and treatment are crucial to overall patient prognosis, as delayed intervention is associated with increased mortality. Diagnosis may be confirmed with clinical presentation, serum tryptase levels, and skin test results. While the main causative agents in anesthetic practice are typically neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBs), latex, and antibiotics, this review aims to discuss recognition, management, and preventive measures in perioperative anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions from benzodiazepine administration.

Hipersensibilidad a los anestésicos locales
Hypersensitivity to local anesthetics.
Anaesthesiol Intensive Ther. 2016;48(2):128-34. doi: 10.5603/AIT.a2016.0017. Epub 2016 Mar 15.
Abstract
Using local anaesthetics in daily practice, particularly by anaesthetists and dentists, is connected with the risk of side effects. Therefore, the observation of side effects, carrying out detailed research (according to the chart proposed in this study) and conducting specialist examinations is of the highest importance. There is a variety of side effects that could occur during local anaesthesia procedures, with the intensity ranging from clinically unimportant to life threatening. Clinicians' major concerns are the appearance of various hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis. Healthcare providers responsible for the administration of local anaesthetics should be able to detect hypersensitivity reactions to implement appropriate treatment and then choose highly selected diagnostic procedures. The final diagnosis should be based on specific medical history; documentation, including a description of the case and measurement of tryptase activity; skin tests; and provocation trials. Screening tests are not recommended in populations without hypersensitivity to local anaesthestics in their medical history.
KEYWORDS: hypersensitivity; local anestehtics; local anesthesia; skin tests
