Abstract

44 patients undergoing major abdominal and thoracic surgery received different anaesthetic treatment and different pain therapy during the postoperative period (4 groups). Analysis of plasma vasopressin was performed in all patients pre-, intra- and five days postoperatively. In two groups of patients under neuroleptanalgesia (group A and B) ADH-levels increased markedly during the operation procedure, whereas those of patients under NLA plus epidural analgesia with bupivacaine 0.5% (group C and D) showed only a slight increase intraoperatively. During the postoperative period pain relief was provided by giving fentanyl epidurally (group B and D) or with systemic administration of piritramide (group A and C). During the investigation period vasopressin secretion in patients under epidural opiate therapy was significantly less pronounced as in patients under systemic opiate therapy.

Capnography for procedural sedation and analgesia in the emergency department.

Although it is standard of care for patient safety monitoring in anesthesia, capnography is not routinely used for emergency department procedural sedation and analgesia. We discuss the use of capnography as a diagnostic monitoring modality for procedural sedation and analgesia, focusing on the physiology and interpretation of the CO2 waveform and recognition of normal, abnormal, and drug-induced ventilatory patterns.

Interleukin-1 signaling modulates stress-induced analgesia.

Exposure to stressful stimuli is often accompanied by reduced pain sensitivity, termed "stress-induced analgesia" (SIA). In the present study, the hypothesis that interleukin-1 (IL-1) may play a modulatory role in SIA was examined. Two genetic mouse models impaired in IL-1-signaling and their wild-type (WT) controls were employed. Another group of C57 mice was acutely administered with IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra). Mice were exposed to 2min swim stress at one of three water temperatures: 32 degrees C (mild stress), 20-23 degrees C (moderate stress), or 15 degrees C (severe stress); and then tested for pain sensitivity using the hot-plate test. Corticosterone levels were assessed in separate groups of WT and mutant mice following exposure to the three types of stress. Mild stress induced significant analgesia in the two WT strains and saline-treated mice, but not in the mutant strains or the IL-1ra-treated mice. Similarly, mild stress induced significantly elevated corticosterone levels in WT mice, and blunted corticosterone response in mutant mice. In contrast, both WT and mutant strains, as well as IL-1ra-treated mice, displayed analgesic and corticosterone responses following moderate and severe stress. Interestingly, the analgesic response to moderate stress was markedly potentiated in the mutant strains, as compared with their WT controls. The present results support our previous findings that in the absence of IL-1, stress response to mild stress is noticeably diminished. However, the analgesic response to moderate stress is markedly potentiated in mice with impaired IL-1 signaling, corroborating the anti-analgesic role of IL-1 in several pain modulatory conditions, including SIA.

Anticlotting drugs and regional anaesthetic and analgesic techniques: comparative update of the safety recommendations.

The wide use of anticlotting drugs by patients scheduled for surgery is a challenge for the anaesthesiologist when considering a regional anaesthesia technique. This practice seems safe if there is an appropriate management based on safety intervals established according to the pharmacology of the drug and the regional technique. Some anaesthesiology societies have published recommendations for the safe practice of regional anaesthesia with the simultaneous use of anticoagulants (heparin, low molecular weight heparins, oral anticoagulants (OA), fondaparinux and others) and antiplatelet agents (aspirin, clopidogrel, ticlopidine, argatroban and others). One of the most recent guidelines has been published by the Spanish Society of Anaesthesia and Critical Care. This article reviews these recommendations and compares them with others published in the last years. The recommendations are similar, but some interesting differences can be observed and need to be considered. A European consensus in this setting would probably be necessary.
