ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: There is still a debate about what constitutes effective and safe postoperative analgesia in hepatectomy surgery. Erector spinae plane (ESP) block may be an important part of multimodal analgesia application in hepatectomy surgery. OBJECTIVES: To compare the effects of ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane block combined with intravenous (iv) patient-controlled analgesia (iv PCA), in comparison with iv PCA alone, in hepatectomy surgery. DESIGN AND SETTINGS: Randomized prospective single-blinded study in a tertiary university hospital. METHODS: Fifty patients scheduled for elective hepatectomy surgery were included in the study. Patients were randomized into the ESP group or the control group. In the ESP group, bilateral ESP block was performed preoperatively and iv PCA was used. In the control group, only iv PCA was used. Numerical rating scale (NRS) scores at rest and coughing, analgesic requirements and occurrences of nausea and vomiting were recorded. RESULTS: Intraoperative and postoperative opioid consumption, rescue analgesia requirement and resting and dynamic NRS scores were significantly lower in the ESP group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between two groups in terms of the presence of dynamic pain after the first postoperative hour. While all patients in the control group had nausea and vomiting, 24% of the patients in the ESP group did not have nausea and vomiting. CONCLUSION: This study showed that ESP block can be used as a part of multimodal analgesia, with the benefit of reducing opioid consumption and postoperative nausea and vomiting in hepatectomy surgery.

Justificativa e objetivos: O objetivo deste estudo foi fazer uma revisão das experiências de um departamento de anestesiologia em relação ao uso do videolaringoscópio C-MAC em tentativas malsucedidas de intubação. Métodos: Analisamos os dados de 42 pacientes, cujas tentativas de intubação com o uso delaringoscopia direta (Macintosh) tinham falhado e nos quais o videolaringoscópio C-MAC foi usado como o dispositivo de resgate primário. A taxa de sucesso do C-MAC em intubação foi avaliada e a visão da laringe em ambos os dispositivos foi comparada. Resultados: Com o laringoscópio Macintosh, o escore de Cormack e Lehane foi 3 em 41 pacientes e 4 em um paciente e com o CMAC, foi 1 em 27 pacientes, 2 em 14 pacientes e 3 em um paciente. Intubação traqueal com CMAC foi bem-sucedida em 36 pacientes (86%) na primeira tentativa e em seis pacientes (14%) na segunda tentativa. Nenhuma complicação foi observada, além de pequena lesão (sangue na lâmina) em oito pacientes (19%). Conclusão: Esses dados fornecem evidência para a eficácia clínica do videolaringoscópio C-MAC no manejo de intubações malsucedidas inesperadas em assistência rotineira de anestesia. O videolaringoscópio C-MAC é eficiente e seguro como dispositivo de resgate primário em intubações malsucedidas inesperadas. .
Background and objectives: The purpose of this study was to review the experiences of an anesthesiology department regarding the use of a C-MAC videolaryngoscope in unexpected failed intubation attempts. Methods: Data were analyzed from 42 patients whose intubation attempts using Macintosh direct laryngoscopes had failed, and on whom a C-MAC videolaryngoscope was utilized as the primary rescue device. The success rate of C-MAC in intubation was assessed, and laryngeal views from both devices were compared. Results: The Cormack and Lehane score was III in 41 patients, and IV in one patient, with the Macintosh laryngoscope, while Cormack and Lehane score was I in 27 patients, II in 14 and III in one with CMAC. Tracheal intubation with CMAC was successful on the first attempt in 36 patients (86%), and on the second attempt in 6 patients (14%). No complications were observed other than minor damage (blood on blade) in 8 patients (19%). Conclusion: These data provide evidence for the clinical effectiveness of C-MAC videolaryngoscope in managing the unexpected failed intubations in routine anesthesia care. The C-MAC videolaryngoscope is efficient and safe as a primary rescue device in unexpected failed intubations. .
Justificación y objetivos: El objetivo de este estudio fue hacer una revisión de las experiencias de un departamento de anestesiologia con relación al uso del videolaringoscopio C-MAC® en intentos de intubación que fracasaron. Métodos: Analizamos los datos de 42 pacientes, cuyos intentos de intubación con el uso de laringoscopia directa (Macintosh) habían fallado y en los cuales el videolaringoscopio C-MAC® fue usado como el dispositivo de rescate primario. Se calculó la tasa de éxito del C-MAC® en la intubación y se comprobó la visión de la laringe en los 2 dispositivos. Resultados: Con el laringoscopio Macintosh, la puntuación de Cormack y Lehane fue 3 en 41 pacientes y 4 en un paciente; y con el C-MAC®, fue 1 en 27 pacientes, 2 en 14 pacientes y 3 en un paciente. La intubación traqueal con C-MAC® fue exitosa en 36 pacientes (86%) en el primer intento y en 6 pacientes (14%) en el segundo intento. No se observaron complicaciones, a no ser una pequena lesión (sangre en la lámina) en 8 pacientes (19%). Conclusiones: Esos datos suministran evidencias para la eficacia clínica del videolaringoscopio C-MAC® en el manejo de intubaciones no exitosas inesperadas en asistencia de rutina en anestesia. El videolaringoscopio C-MAC® es eficiente y seguro como dispositivo de rescate primario en intubaciones no exitosas inesperadas. .
