Response to Cicero et al.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Opioid use in non-cancer pain is an important subject for all involved in chronic pain management. Descriptive surveys of opioid use by this patient group in different geographical territories show big differences in use. This is not surprising, because opioid use is subject to major medical, political and social influences. An example of the disparity is evident comparing the data in Cicero et al.’s paper with that reported in Pain from Denmark in 2003 by Eriksen and colleagues (Pain 106 (2003) 221–228 [Table 7]). Extrapolating from their survey results, Eriksen et al. concluded that 3% of the general population was t...

Noninvasive cardiac output and blood pressure monitoring cannot replace an invasive monitoring system in critically ill patientsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion Although the noninvasive CO measurement appears promising, the noninvasive blood pressure assessment is clearly less reliable than the invasively measured blood pressure. Therefore, according to the present data application of the Nexfin HD monitoring system in the ICU cannot be recommended generally. Whether such a tool might be reliable in certain critically ill patients remains to be determined.

Sevoflurane-induced post-conditioning has no beneficial effects on neuroprotection after incomplete cerebral ischemia in ratsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether sevoflurane-induced post-conditioning has a neuroprotective effect against incomplete cerebral ischemia in rats. After cerebral ischemia by right common carotid artery occlusion in combination with hemorrhagic hypotension (35 mmHg) for 30 min, 1.0 minimum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane was administered for 15 min (Post-C 15, n=8), 30 min (Post-C 30, n=8), or 60 min (Post-C 60, n=8) in rats. Sevoflurane was not administered in control (n=8) and sham control rats (n=8). Neurologic evaluations were performed at 24, 48, and 72 h after ischemia. Degrees of neuronal damage ...

A comparison of a flexometallic tracheal tube with the intubating laryngeal mask tracheal tube for nasotracheal fibreoptic intubation using the two-scope technique*Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We compared the incidence and site of impingement of a flexometallic tracheal tube with those of the re-usable intubating laryngeal mask (ILMA) tube in 60 anaesthetised patients undergoing nasotracheal fibreoptic intubation for oral surgery. A two-scope technique was used, observing the site of impingement with one scope whilst intubating with the other. The tubes were 6.0-mm in females and 6.5-mm in males. Impingement occurred with 10 (33%) flexometallic and 2 (7%) ILMA tubes (p < 0.032). In all but one case, the impingement was posterior to the right arytenoid cartilage. When impingement was observed, a single disempacti...

[Coagulation management in the treatment of multiple trauma.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In recent years a new understanding of trauma-associated hemorrhaging and trauma-induced coagulopathy has been achieved. This coagulopathy is multifactorial with the predominant mechanisms being tissue trauma, shock and hypoperfusion which can lead to hyperfibrinolysis by activation of the endothelium. Routinely tested coagulation parameters, such as prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time, are frequently employed for decision making but remain problematic as they do not give any information on clot stability, lysis or platelet function. Thrombelastometry seems to be a useful alternative. A pro-active anticipa...

Dexamethasone decreases oxycodone consumption following osteotomy of the first metatarsal bone: a randomized controlled trial in day surgeryEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Dexamethasone may improve multimodal pain management following painful orthopedic day surgery procedures, and decrease the need for post-operative opioids. We hypothesized that dexamethasone would reduce the need for oxycodone after surgical correction of hallux valgus. Sixty patients planned to undergo unilateral osteotomy of the first metatarsal as a day surgery procedure were randomized to receive pre-operatively and 24 h afterwards, orally either dexamethasone 9 mg or placebo. For pain medication, paracetamol and oxycodone capsules for rescue medication were given. The study ended on the evening of the third post-opera...

The potential for μ-opioid receptor agonists to be anti-emetic in humans: a review of clinical dataEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In animal models of vomiting, [mu]-opioid (MOP, OP3) receptors mediate both emesis and anti-emesis. [mu]-receptors within the blood[ndash]brain barrier, mediating anti-emesis, are more rapidly accessible to lipid-soluble [mu]-opioid receptor agonists such as fentanyl than to morphine, and fentanyl has broad-spectrum anti-emetic effects in a number of species. Whether a similar situation exists in humans is not known. A search was performed for clinical studies comparing the emetic side effects of opioids administered peri-operatively in an attempt to identify differences between morphine and more lipid-soluble [mu]-recepto...

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonism: Progress in the management of neuropathic pain?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In this issue of PAIN, Rowbotham and co-workers present interesting results of a trial of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (NNR) agonist ABT-594 in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain . ABT-594 produced a statistically significant relief of pain compared to placebo, which supports the preclinical observations that NNR agonism resulting in opening of cationic channels is a relevant target in peripheral neuropathic pain. ABT-594 development followed upon proof of involvement of the α4β2 NNR subtype in pain processing. Thus, ABT-594 was specifically developed to target this receptor subtype to pr...

Peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) of the lower extremities are effective techniques for anesthesia and postoperative pain control. So far, these techniques have been used less frequently than PNBs of the upper limb. Nevertheless, growing awareness of complications of neuroaxial techniques, improved equipment and modern techniques for nerve localization have led to an increased use of PNBs of the lower limb. Anesthesiologists should be familiar with the anatomical basics and procedural details of these PNBs. They should also know the typical complications and side-effects and thoroughly inform patients about such potential...

Statistical Modeling of Average and Variability of Time to Extubation for Meta-Analysis Comparing Desflurane to Sevoflurane.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Desflurane reduces the average extubation time and the variability of extubation time by 20%-25% relative to sevoflurane. The principal economic value of these end points is their reductions of direct (labor) costs of OR time. However, reductions in intangible costs of prolonged extubation are real, being associated with subsequent delays. Reductions in the average and variance of times to extubation can be interpreted and monitored in terms of corresponding expected 75% reductions in the incidences of prolonged extubation times by using desflurane relative to sevoflurane.

Discussion: Results confirmed, in part, our study hypothesis; accounting for the lag time between Ce and ET sevoflurane concentrations improved model predictions of responsiveness but had no effect on predicting a response to a noxious stimulus in the recovery room.
