Meta-analysis of Simotang Oral Liquid in treatment of functional dyspepsia in adults / 中国中药杂志

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Simotang Oral Liquid in the treatment of functional dyspepsia in adults. "Simotang Oral Liquid" "Simotang" "Si Mo Tang" "Si Mo Tang Oral Liquid" were used for retrieval of the relevant papers from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Springer Link, and Web of Science from database inception to June 2021. Randomized controlled trial(RCT) of Simotang Oral Liquid in the treatment of functional dyspepsia in adults was screened out for Meta-analysis which was conducted in RevMan 5.3. A total of 16 RCTs were included. Meta-analysis showed that compared with the control group, Simotang Oral Liquid increased the total response rate and lowered the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores, serum cholecystokinin(CCK), serum nitric oxide(NO), and incidence of adverse reactions. However, the serum substance P(SP) had no statistical difference between the two groups. Simotang Oral Liquid is effective and safe in the treatment of functional dyspepsia in adults. However, this study has evidence and limitations, so the conclusions need to be further verified by large sample and multicenter clinical studies.

Status and clinical significance of thrombocytopenia after cardiac surgery in adults / 中国胸心血管外科临床杂志

@#Objective    To observe the status of thrombocytopenia in adult patients after cardiac surgery, and to explore its mechanism and clinical significance. Methods    Retrospective analysis of 240 patients after cardiac surgery in the 2nd ward of surgical intensive care unit (ICU) of Fuwai Hospital from May to June 2020 was conducted, including 137 males and 103 females with a mean age of 56.0±12.0 years. According to postoperative platelet status, the patients were divided into a thrombocytopenia group and a non-thrombocytopenia group. The clinical baseline data, preoperative platelet count, postoperative minimum platelet count, volume of drainage, transfusion of blood products, mechanical ventilator time, ICU stay, hospital stay and complications were compared between the two groups. Results    The mean preoperative platelet count was 199×109/L±55×109/L and the mean postoperative platelet nadir was 109×109/L±37×109/L, with a mean reduction rate of 44.1%±15.8%. The platelet count of 235 (97.9%) patients after operation was lower than that before operation. Among them, 98 (40.8%) patients had platelet count<100×109/L, 46 (19.2%)<75×109/L and 8 (3.3%)<50×109/L. Results of multivariable logistic analysis showed that cardiopulmonary bypass time>120 min (OR=2.576, 95%CI 1.313-5.053, P<0.05) was an independent risk factor for postoperative thrombocytopenia. Mechanical ventilator time (25.5± 16.8 h vs. 17.3±8.5 h, P<0.05), ICU stay (85.2±54.7 h vs. 60.0±33.9 h, P<0.05) and hospital stay (15.8±6.2 d vs. 14.2±3.9 d, P<0.05) were longer in the thrombocytopenia group (<100×109/L) compared with the non-thrombocytopenia group (>100×109/L). More drainage volume [685 (510, 930) mL vs. 560 (440, 790) mL, P<0.05] and complications occurred in the thrombocytopenia group. In multivariable analysis, thrombocytopenia was significantly inversely associated with prolonged ICU stay (OR=2.993, 95%CI 1.622-5.524, P<0.05). Conclusion    Thrombocytopenia occurs commonly after adult cardiac surgery, and the incidence in different types of surgery varies. Postoperative thrombocytopenia is related to the prolonged recovery. Extracorporeal circulation may be a contributing factor to thrombocytopenia, and further studies investigating mechanism and strategies to reduce postoperative thrombocytopenia are needed.

Effects of laparoscopic surgery versus open surgery on acute appendicitis in children / 中国基层医药

Objective:To investigate the effects of laparoscopic surgery versus open surgery on acute appendicitis in children. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the data of 50 children with acute appendicitis who underwent surgery in Zhoushan Women and Children Hospital from December 2016 to December 2019. They were randomly divided into observation ( n = 27) and control ( n = 23) groups. The observation group underwent three-port laparoscopy. The control group underwent open surgery. Operation-related indicators, postoperative recovery, parental satisfaction, and complications were compared between the two groups. Results:Operative time was significantly longer in the observation group than in the control group [(56.57 ± 5.35) minutes vs. (40.23 ± 6.31) minutes, t = 9.78, P < 0.001). Intraoperative blood loss was significantly less in the observation group than in the control group [(10.11 ± 2.36) mL vs. (18.36 ± 3.21) mL, t = 10.45, P < 0.001]. Duration of pain was significantly shorter in the observation group than in the control group [(1.23 ± 0.23) days vs. (2.98 ± 0.87) days, t = 10.06, P < 0.001). Time to postoperative exhaust was significantly shorter in the observation group than in the control group [(21.39 ± 4.35) minutes vs. (39.88 ±5.39) minutes, t = 13.35, P < 0.001]. Time to defection was significantly shorter in the observation group than in the control group [(50.12 ± 3.35) minutes vs. (61.23 ± 4.21) minutes, t = 10.33, P < 0.001]. Time to first diet was significantly shorter in the observation group than in the control group [(13.25 ± 2.56) hours vs. (19.96 ± 2.67) hours, t = 9.07, P < 0.001]. Length of hospital stay in the observation group was significantly shorter in the observation group than in the control group [(4.13 ± 1.12) days vs. (7.98 ± 1.96) days, t = 8.53, P < 0.001). Parental satisfaction was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group [96.30% vs. 47.83%, χ2 = 13.360, P < 0.001]. The incidence of complications was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group [7.41% vs. 52.17%, χ2 = 10.58, P < 0.001]. Conclusion:Laparoscopic surgery is superior and safer to open surgery in the treatment of acute appendicitis in children.

Los programas para mejorar la recuperación posoperatoria (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery), aconsejan cambiar esta práctica. Objetivo: Evaluar el cumplimiento y repercusión en la evolución posoperatoria de dos acciones del programa en el retiro de la sonda nasogástrica y la apertura de la vía oral el día de la intervención. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio prospectivo, en el Servicio de Cirugía General del Hospital "Hermanos Ameijeiras" de septiembre 2017 a agosto 2020. La muestra fue de 270 pacientes con intervención quirúrgica mayor electiva del colon, hígado, vía biliar o páncreas, a los que se les aplicó el programa para mejorar la recuperación posoperatoria. Resultados: En 79,6 por ciento de pacientes, la sonda nasogástrica se retiró en el quirófano tras la intervención y esto se asoció a más rápida recuperación de la función intestinal, menor estadía, complicaciones, reingresos y reintervenciones. En 60 por ciento se inició la vía oral 6 horas después de la cirugía y 79,6 por ciento toleraban dieta blanda a las 48 horas. Estos pacientes presentaron menos complicaciones y mortalidad. Conclusiones: En el contexto de un programa para mejorar la recuperación posoperatoria, tras cirugía abdominal electiva, el retiro de la sonda nasogástrica el día de la intervención, con apertura precoz de la vía oral y rápida progresión a dieta blanda, son acciones bien toleradas que repercuten positivamente en la evolución posoperatoria(AU)

Introduction: Nasogastric tube decompression, together with the oral route closed for several days, has been a common practice after elective surgical procedures of the digestive tract. Programs to improve postoperative recovery (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) advise changing this practice. Objective: To assess compliance and impact on postoperative evolution of two program actions for nasogastric tube removal and opening of the oral route on the intervention day. Methods: A prospective study was carried out, from September 2017 to August 2020, in the general surgery service of Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital. The sample consisted of 270 patients who underwent major elective surgery of the colon, liver, bile duct or pancreas and were applied the program to improve postoperative recovery. Results: In 79.6 percent of patients, the nasogastric tube was removed in the operating room after the intervention, a fact associated with faster recovery of intestinal function, shorter stay, as well as fewer complications, readmissions and reinterventions. In 60 percent of the patients, the oral route was started at six hours after surgery, while 79.6 percent of them tolerated a soft diet at 48 hours. These patients presented fewer complications and mortality. Conclusions: In the context of a program to improve postoperative recovery after elective abdominal surgery, nasogastric tube removal on the intervention day, with early opening of the oral route and rapid progression to a soft diet, are well-tolerated actions that have a positive effect on postoperative evolution(AU)

Clinical value of transcutaneous neuromodulation in improving gastrointestinal function of 100 patients with gastrointestinal tumor after operation / 中华消化杂志

Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of the transcutaneous neuromodulation (TN) in improving gastrointestinal function after gastrointestinal tumor operation.Methods:From April 2019 to June 2020, at The Affiliated People′s Hospital of Ningbo University, 100 patients who underwent gastrointestinal tumor surgery were included. The 100 patients were randomly divided into treatment group(receiving TN treatment, 50 cases)and control group (receiving sham TN treatment, 50 cases). The clinical data of the two groups was compared to evaluate the recovery of gastrointestinal function, which included the time of first defecation, time of first flatus, time of first ambulation, time of resuming diet, the incidence of nausea and vomiting within 3 d after operation and pain score (0 to 10). Heart rate variability (HRV) was compared between two groups to analyze the possible mechanism of TN improving gastrointestinal function after gastrointestinal tumor surgery. Independent sample t test and Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:Among 100 patients, there were 63 male and 37 female patients, the age was (67.0±11.3) years old, ranged from 28 to 92 years old. Compared with the control group, the time of first defecation, first flatus, first ambulation and resuming diet of treatment group reduced by 31.0%, 39.8%, 38.0% and 32.4% ((72.1±3.0) h vs.(104.5±2.9) h, (49.4±5.7) h vs.(82.1±3.1) h, (3.1±0.7) d vs.(5.0±0.9) d, (4.8±0.9) d vs. (7.1±0.8) d)), respectively; the pain scores on the day 2 and day 3 after operation and incidence of nausea and vomiting within 3 d after operation decreased by 50.0%, 65.5%, 26.0%(1.5±0.6 vs. 3.0±0.7, 1.0±0.6 vs. 2.9±0.6, 16.0%, 8/50 vs. 42.0%, 21/50), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=54.28, 35.72, 11.67, 13.66, 12.00 and 14.90, χ2=8.21, all P<0.01). The results of HRV analysis showed that the high frequency on day 3 was higher than that on day 1 of treatment group, and the ratio of low frequency to high frequency after operation was lower than that before operation of treatment group (0.5±0.1 vs. 0.4±0.1, 1.2±0.7 vs. 1.9±1.0), and the differences were statistically significant( t=-4.81 and 4.26, both P<0.01), which indicated TN could enhance vagal activity. Conclusions:TN promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function after gastrointestinal tumor operation, and can be used as an adjuvant therapy to accelerate the recovery of gastrointestinal function after gastrointestinal tumor operation.

The effects of music therapy in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty surgery under general anesthesia / Efeitos da musicoterapia em pacientes submetidos a rinosseptoplastia sob anestesia geral

Abstract Introduction Music has been used for several years as a relaxation method to reduce stress and anxiety. It is a painless, safe, inexpensive and practical nonpharmacologic therapeutic modality, widely used all over the world. Objectives We aimed to evaluate the effect of music therapy on intraoperative awareness, patient satisfaction, awakening pain and waking quality in patients undergoing elective septorhinoplasty under general anesthesia. Methods This randomized, controlled, prospective study was conducted with 120 patients undergoing septorhinoplasty within a 2 months period. The patients were randomly selected and divided into two groups: group music (music during surgery) and control group (without music during surgery). All patients underwent standard general anesthesia. Patients aged 18-70 years who would undergo a planned surgery under general anesthesia were included. Patients who had emergency surgery, hearing or cognitive impairment, were excluded from the study. Results A total of 120 patients were enrolled, and separated into two groups. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of demographic characteristics, anesthesia and surgery durations (p > 0.05). In the music group, sedation agitation scores were lower than those in the control group at the postoperative period (3.76 ± 1.64 vs. 5.11 ± 2.13; p < 0.001). In addition; in patients of the music group, the pain level (2.73 ± 1.28 vs. 3.61 ± 1.40) was lower (p < 0.001), requiring less analgesic drugs intake. Conclusion Music therapy, which is a nonpharmacologic intervention, is an effective method, without side effects, leading to positive effects in the awakening, hemodynamic parameters and analgesic requirements in the postoperative period. It is also effective in reducing the anxiety and intraoperative awareness episodes of surgical patients.

Resumo Introdução A música tem sido usada há vários anos como um método de relaxamento para reduzir o estresse e a ansiedade. É um método de tratamento não farmacológico, seguro, barato e prático, amplamente usado em todo o mundo. Objetivo Avaliar o efeito da musicoterapia no despertar intraoperatório, na satisfação do paciente, na dor ao despertar e na qualidade de vigília em pacientes submetidos à rinosseptoplastia eletiva sob anestesia geral. Método Estudo prospectivo, randomizado e controlado feito com 120 pacientes submetidos a rinosseptoplastia em 2 meses. Os pacientes foram selecionados aleatoriamente e divididos em dois grupos: musicoterapia (música durante a cirurgia) e controle (sem música durante a cirurgia). Todos os pacientes foram submetidos a anestesia geral padrão. Pacientes entre 18 e 70 anos que seriam submetidos a cirurgia planejada sob anestesia geral foram incluídos. Pacientes submetidos a cirurgia de emergência, apresentavam deficiência auditiva ou cognitiva foram excluídos do estudo. Resultados Foram incluídos no estudo 120 pacientes, divididos nos dois grupos. Não houve diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os grupos em relação às características demográficas, anestesia e duração da cirurgia (p > 0,05). No grupo musicoterapia, os escores de agitação da sedação foram menores do que no grupo controle no período pós-operatório (3,76 ± 1,64 vs. 5,11 ± 2,13; p < 0,001). Além disso, nos pacientes do grupo musicoterapia, o nível de dor (2,73 ± 1,28 vs. 3,61 ± 1,40) foi menor (p < 0,001) e a necessidade de analgésicos foi menor no pós-operatório. Conclusão A musicoterapia, uma intervenção não farmacológica, é um método eficaz, sem efeitos colaterais, que leva a efeitos positivos no despertar, nos parâmetros hemodinâmicos e nas necessidades analgésicas no pós-operatório, além de reduzir a ansiedade por estresse, a dor e a chance de despertar durante a cirurgia.

Feasibility of non-intubated anesthesia and regional block for thoracoscopic surgery under spontaneous respiration: a prospective cohort study

Data about the feasibility and safety of thoracoscopic surgery under non-intubated anesthesia and regional block are limited. In this prospective study, 57 consecutive patients scheduled for thoracoscopic surgery were enrolled. Patients were sedated with dexmedetomidine and anesthetized with propofol and remifentanil. Ropivacaine was used for intercostal nerve and paravertebral block. Lidocaine was used for vagal block. The primary outcomes were mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation, and end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (ETCO2) at T0 (pre-anesthesia), T1 (immediately after laryngeal mask/nasopharyngeal airway placement), T2 (immediately after skin incision), T3 (10 min after opening the chest), T4 (end of surgery), and T5 (immediately after laryngeal mask/nasopharyngeal airway removal). One patient required conversion to intubation, 15 developed intraoperative hypotension, and two had hypoxemia. MAP at T0 and T5 was higher than at T1-T4; MAP at T3 was lower (P<0.05 vs other time points). HR at T0 and T5 was higher (P<0.05 vs other time points). ETCO2 at T2 and T3 was higher (P<0.05 vs other time points). Arterial pH, PCO2, and lactic acid at T1 differed from values at T0 and T2 (P<0.05). The Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) score at 24 h was lower (P<0.05). One patient experienced dysphoria during recovery. Thoracoscopic surgery with regional block under direct thoracoscopic vision is a feasible and safe alternative to conventional surgery under general anesthesia, intubation, and one-lung ventilation.

Postoperative low-dose sufentanil combined with transversus abdominis plane block promotes recovery following laparoscopic hysterectomy / 南方医科大学学报

OBJECTIVE@#To compare the efficacy and safety of postoperative analgesia with low-dose sufentanil combined with transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and with sufentanil alone in promoting patients'recovery following laparoscopic hysterectomy.@*METHODS@#Sixty patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy in our hospital between September, 2016 and August, 2017 were randomly allocated into two equal groups. In group A, the patients were given postoperative analgesia with 1 μg/kg sufentanil, 9.96 mg tropisetronmesylate, and 200 mg flurbiprofen axetil (diluted with 0.9% NaCl solution to 100 mL, pumped at the rate of 2 mL/h) combined with TAP block; in group B, the patients received similar postoperative analgesia but at a higher dose of sufentanil (2 μg/kg) without TAP block. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate pain at 15 min and at 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 h postoperatively, and the first off-bed time, the length of postoperative hospital stay and the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) were recorded in all the patients.@*RESULTS@#Compared with those in group B, the patients in group A had significantly lower VAS scores at 15 min, 4 h, 8 h, and 12 h postoperatively ( < 0.01) with also statistically shorter first off-bed time and postoperative hospital stay ( < 0.01). Two (6.7%) patients in group A had mild PONV, and 6 (20.0%) in group B had PONV (including 4 with mild and 2 with moderate PONV).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Lowdose sufentanil combined with TAP block is effective for postoperative analgesia after laparoscopic hysterectomy and helps to reduce the incidence of PONV and shorten the first off-bed time and postoperative hospital stay to promote the recovery of the patients.

Effect of acupoint stimulation on the quality of recovery in patients with radical thyroidectomy under the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery: a randomized controlled trial / 中国针灸

OBJECTIVE@#To observe the effect of acupoint stimulation on the quality of recovery in patients with radical thyroidectomy under the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS).@*METHODS@#A total of 62 patients with radical thyroidectomy were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 31 cases in each one. In both of the two groups, general anesthesia with tracheal intubation was applied, the same anesthesia induction and maintenance medication were given. In the observation group, auricular point pressing with magnetic beads was adopted at bilateral shenmen (TF) and transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (dilatational wave, 2 Hz/100 Hz in frequency, 6 to 12 mA) was performed at bilateral Hegu (LI 4) and Neiguan (PC 6) from 30 min before anesthesia induction to the end of the anesthesia. In the control group, medical adhesive plaster was pasted at bilateral shenmen (TF) and the electrodes were plastered at bilateral Hegu (LI 4) and Neiguan (PC 6) with no corresponding stimulation. In both of the two groups, visual analogue scale for anxiety (VAS-A) score was observed to evaluate the anxiety severity before anesthesia induction; the total intraoperative dosages of sufentanil, remifentanil and propofol were recorded; the numerical rating scale (NRS) score was used to assess the pain severity of instant time (T0) and 30 min (T1) of entering post-anesthesia recovery room (PACU), motor and static mode at 2 h (T2), 6 h (T3), 12 h (T4), 24 h (T5) after surgery; time of first anal exhaust, time of getting out of bed after surgery, total hospitalization time and the incidences of postoperative nausea and vomiting were observed; the quality of recovery was assessed by the 40-item quality of recovery score (QoR-40).@*RESULTS@#The VAS-A score and the total intraoperative dosage of remifentanil in the observation group were reduced compared with the control group (0.05). The time of first anal exhaust and getting out of bed after surgery in the observation group were advanced than those in the control group (0.05). Compared with the control group, the QoR-40 score was increased in the observation group (<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Acupoint stimulation can improve the preoperative anxiety in patients with radical thyroidectomy, reduce the intraoperative anesthetic dosage and postoperative pain, advance the time of anal exhaust and getting out of bed, improve the quality of postoperative recovery and enhance the recovery process.

Effect of Preoperative Anxiety on Early Prognosis of Patients after Thoracoscopic Lung Cancer Resection / 中国肺癌杂志

BACKGROUND@#Patients with lung cancer are often accompanied by anxiety, which affects postoperative recovery. The aim of this study is to explore the effects of preoperative anxiety on early prognosis in patients after thoracoscopic lung cancer resection.@*METHODS@#A total of 100 patients undergoing thoracoscopic resection of lung cancer were divided into 2 groups by hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS): 44 in anxiety group (anxiety score>8) and 56 in control group (anxiety score<8). The primary endpoint: length of postoperative hospital stay. The secondary endpoint: length of hospital stay, visual analogue scale (VAS), the incidence of nausea and vomiting as well as postoperative new arrhythmia and the consumption of postoperative analgesic and rescue antiemetic.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the control group, the length of postoperative hospital stay and hospital stay in the anxiety group were both significantly longer [(5.1±2.5) d vs (4.0±1.3) d, P<0.01; (10.9±4.0) d vs (9.1±4.1) d, P<0.05)], the VAS score and the incidence of nausea as well as arrhythmia were significantly increased [(4.7±1.9) vs (2.6±1.8), P<0.001; 40.9% vs 16.1%, P<0.01; 36.4% vs 20.7%, P<0.05], and the consumption of postoperative analgesic and rescue antiemetic were also significantly increased [(72.5±8.9) mL vs (68.2±9.4) mL, P<0.05; (2.1±2.9) mg vs (0.9±1.9) mg, P<0.05].@*CONCLUSIONS@#Preoperative anxiety can affect the early prognosis of patients after thoracoscopic lung cancer resection, prolong hospitalization time, increase the postoperative pain score and the incidence of postoperative nausea and new arrhythmia as well as the consumption of postoperative analgesic and rescue antiemetic.

Evaluation of the quality of recovery and the postoperative health status after elective surgery / Avaliação da qualidade da recuperação e do estado de saúde no pós-operatório de cirurgias eletivas

Abstract Purpose: Postoperative recovery is a complex process with physiologic, functional, and psychologic dimensions. Postoperative quality of recovery is considered as a crucial outcome following surgery and anesthesia. The objective of this study was to assess and compare the quality of postoperative recovery and health status before and after surgery, in patients undergoing elective surgery. Methods: This observational, prospective study was conducted on patients proposed for elective surgery. Evaluation of postoperative recovery was performed using the Postoperative Quality of Recovery Scale and health status was assessed by applying the EuroQol assessing problems in five dimensions: mobility, personal care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, and the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0. Poor quality of recovery was defined as recovery in fewer than two domains at postoperative Day 1 in the Postoperative Quality of Recovery Scale. Results: Before surgery (D0), patients with poor quality of recovery had median Visual Analog Scale scores in EuroQol similar to those of patients without poor quality of recovery, but they had more problems in the mobility, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression dimensions. At 3 months after surgery, patients with poor quality of recovery had median Visual Analog Scale scores in EuroQol similar to those of patients without poor quality of recovery, but they maintained more problems in the pain/discomfort dimension. Patients with poor quality of recovery scored significantly higher on the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 scale at baseline, although the results were similar at 3 months. Conclusions: Patients with poor quality of recovery had the worst health status at D0. Evaluation at 3 months indicated similar rates of problems in EuroQol (except for pain/discomfort) and World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 scores were similar.

Resumo Objetivo: A recuperação pós-operatória é um processo complexo com dimensões fisiológicas, funcionais e psicológicas. A qualidade da recuperação pós-operatória é considerada um resultado crucial após cirurgia e anestesia. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar e comparar a qualidade da recuperação pós-operatória e o estado de saúde antes e depois da cirurgia em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia eletiva. Métodos: Este estudo observacional prospectivo foi feito com pacientes agendados para cirurgia eletiva. A avaliação da recuperação pós-operatória foi feita com a Escala de Qualidade da Recuperação Pós-Operatória (Postoperative Quality of Recovery Scale) e o estado de saúde foi avaliado com a aplicação do EuroQol, que analisa problemas em cinco dimensões (mobilidade, cuidados pessoais, atividades habituais, dor/desconforto e ansiedade/depressão) e a ferramenta para medida de incapacidade desenvolvida pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0). Má qualidade de recuperação foi definida como uma recuperação em menos de dois domínios da Escala de Qualidade da Recuperação Pós-Operatória no primeiro dia (D1) de pós-operatório. Resultados: Antes da cirurgia (D0), os pacientes com má qualidade de recuperação apresentaram escores medianos na escala visual analógica semelhantes aos dos pacientes sem má qualidade de recuperação, mas apresentaram mais problemas nas dimensões mobilidade, atividades habituais, dor/desconforto e ansiedade/depressão. No terceiro mês após a cirurgia, os pacientes com má qualidade de recuperação apresentaram escores na escala visual analógica medianos no EuroQol semelhantes aos dos pacientes sem má qualidade de recuperação, mas apresentaram mais problemas na dimensão dor/desconforto. Os escores World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 dos pacientes com má qualidade de recuperação foram significativamente maiores no início do estudo, embora os resultados tenham sido semelhantes no terceiro mês. Conclusões: Os pacientes com má qualidade de recuperação apresentaram o pior estado de saúde no D0. A avaliação no terceiro mês indicou taxas semelhantes de problemas no EuroQol (exceto dor/desconforto) e escores semelhantes no World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0.

Effects of dexmedetomidine combined with butorphanol on postoperative analgesia and recovery in cesarean section / 基础医学与临床

Objective To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine combined with butorphanol on postoperative an-algesia and recovery for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) in parturients undergoing cesarean section. Methods Eighty-four parturients scheduled for elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia were randomly al-located into two groups. Control group: physiological saline infusion(0.5 μg/kg) after delivery and butorphanol (10 mg) in PCIA. Experimental group: dexmedetomidine (0.5 μg/kg) infusion after delivery and dexmedeto-midine (200 μg) with butorphanol (10 mg) in PCIA. Hemodynamic variables, the visual analogue score (VAS), the sedation score, side effects, the total pump-press number and additional analgesics cases were re-corded. The quality of recovery was evaluated by using a 40-item quality of recovery questionnaire(QoR-40) and a 9 questions fatigue score(FFS). Results Compared with control group,the VAS scores,the total pump-press number, the incidence of side effects and the FSS scores in experimental group was significantly decreased (P<0.05). In addition,the QoR-40 score at POD3 was significantly increased(P<0.05). Conclusions Dexmedeto-midine combined with butorphanol for PCIA after caesarean section decreases the consumption of butorphanol,pro-motes postoperative analgesia,alleviates fatigue,and improves postoperative recovery.

Validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Quality of Recovery-40 questionnaire / 대한마취과학회지

BACKGROUND: The Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) is a widely-used, self-rated, and self-completed questionnaire for postoperative patients. The questionnaire is intended to elicit information from each patient regarding the quality of recovery during the postoperative period. It is noteworthy, however, that an official Korean version of the QoR-40 (QoR-40K) has not been established. The purpose of this study was to develop the QoR-40K by translation and cultural adaptation process and to evaluate the validity and reliability of the QoR-40K. METHODS: After pre-authorization from the original author of the QoR-40, the translation procedure was established and carried out based upon Beaton’s recommendation to create a QoR-40K model comparable to the original English QoR-40. Two hundred surgical patients were enrolled, and each completed the questionnaire during the preoperative period, on the third day, and 1 month after surgery. The QoR-40K was compared with the visual analogue scale (VAS) and another health-related questionnaire, the Short-form Health Survery-36 (SF-36). The method of validation for QoR-40K included test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and level of responsiveness. RESULTS: Spearman’s correlation coefficient for test-retest reliability was 0.895 (P < 0.001), and Cronbach’s alpha of the global QoR-40K on the third day after surgery was 0.956. A positive correlation was obtained between the QoR-40K and the mental component summary of SF-36 (ρ = 0.474, P < 0.001), and a negative correlation was observed between QoR-40K and VAS (ρ = −0.341, P < 0.001). The standardized responsive mean of the total QoR-40K was 0.71. CONCLUSIONS: The QoR-40K was found to be as acceptable and reliable as the original English QoR-40 for Korean patients after surgery, despite the apparent differences in the respective patients’ cultural backgrounds.

@#Objective     To summarize the clinical data about mediastinal lesions, then to analyze the treatment effect of da Vinci robot system in the surgical treatment of mediastinal lesions. Methods     We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 49 patients with mediastinal lesions in our hospital between January 2016 and October 2017. These patients were divided into two groups including a da Vinci robot group and a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) group according to the selection of the treatments. There were 25 patients with 14 males and 11 females at age of 56.5±17.9 years in the da Vinci group and 24 patient with 15 males and 11 females at age of 53.0±17.8 years in the VATS group. Results     There was no statistical difference in surgery time between the two groups (t=–0.365, P=0.681). Less intraoperative blood loss ( t=–2.569, P<0.001), less postoperative drainage amount within three days after surgery ( t= – 6.325, P=0.045), shorter period of bearing drainage tubes after surgery ( t=–1.687, P=0.024), shorter hospital stays ( t= – 3.689, P=0.021), lower visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of postoperative 48 hours (t=–7.214, P=0.014) with a statistical difference in the da Vinci robot group compared with the VATS group. Conclusion     The da Vinci robot system is safe and efficient in the treatment of mediastinal lesions compared with video-assisted thoracoscopic approach.
