ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Postoperative pain after open cholecystectomy is associated with reduced respiratory function, longer recovery period before deambulation and oral food intake, and prolonged hospital stay. Intercostal nerve block provides satisfactory analgesia and ropivacaine is the most widely used local anesthetic agent in intercostal nerve block due to its excellent effectiveness, lower cardiovascular toxicity, and longer half-life. AIMS: To evaluate intercostal nerve block effectiveness with ropivacaine in patients undergoing emergency open cholecystectomy under general anesthesia compared with conventional management. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A controlled clinical trial was carried out on 50 patients undergoing open cholecystectomy, 25 patients without intercostal nerve block versus 25 patients with intercostal nerve block using ropivacaine at 0.5% combined with epinephrine. Intraoperative minimum alveolar concentration and inhalation anesthetic use were evaluated. Tramadol as rescue analgesic agent and pain were evaluated during immediate postoperative period by means of the Visual Analog Scale at 8, 16, and 24 hours. RESULTS: Mean inhalation anesthetic use was lower in the intercostal nerve block group with 13% vs 37% in the group without intercostal nerve block (p= 0.01). Rescue tramadol requirement was lower in the intercostal nerve block group than in the group without intercostal nerve block at 8 hours (8% vs 67%), 16 hours (0% vs 83%), and 24 hours (12% vs 79%) (p<0.0001). Visual Analog Scale for Pain results were similar in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: Intercostal nerve block reduces intraoperative inhalation anesthetic use, immediate postoperative pain, and tramadol intake as rescue analgesic agent in patients undergoing open cholecystectomy.

ABSTRACT

Recidiva y factores pronósticos tras tratamiento con antitiroideos en la enfermedad de Graves-Basedow. Estudio multicéntrico en el norte de España El tratamiento con fármacos antitiroideos es la opción inicial más utilizada en nuestro país para el tratamiento del hipertiroidismo por enfermedad de Graves-Basedow. Para evaluar el resultado a largo plazo de este tipo de tratamiento hemos estudiado 773 pacientes diagnosticados entre 1975 y 1994 en tres hospitales del norte de España (Hospital Central de Asturias, Hospital de Cruces y Hospital de Navarra) después de un tiempo medio de seguimiento tras la retirada de los antitiroideos de 46 ñ 33,1 meses. Los resultados mostraron una probabilidad de recidiva del hipertiroidismo del 42,9 por ciento al año, del 59,8 por ciento a los 3 años, del 67,9 por ciento a los 5 años y del 78,9 por ciento a los 10 años. El tamaño del bocio se correlacionó muy significativamente con la probabilidad de recidiva (p < 0,0001), mientras que del resto de las variables estudiadas (edad, sexo, tamaño del bocio, duración del tratamiento, positividad de los anticuerpos antitiroideos y de los TBII) sólo la positividad de los TBII al final del tratamiento influyó de forma muy significativa (p < 0,05). En conclusión, tras un seguimiento a largo plazo después del tratamiento con antitiroideos se observa una alta tasa de recidiva del hipertiroidismo en la enfermedad de Graves-Basedow, que llega a ser del 79 por ciento a los 10 años, siendo el tamaño del bocio el factor fundamental a la hora de predecir esta recidiva (AU)
