{"title":"Intraoperative Analgesia Guided by the Nociception Level (NOL) in Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery: A Preliminary Outcome Study","authors":"Tzour Arik, González Olalla Figueiredo","doi":"10.36959/377/368","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36959/377/368","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Most of postoperative patients report moderate to severe pain, possibly related to opioid underdosing or overdosing during surgery. Nociception Level (NOL) Index has been proposed for the evaluation of the nociceptionantinociception balance in the perioperative period and by that, may lead to a more appropriate analgesic regimen. NOL-index is scaled from 0 to 100; with previous studies suggesting that values >25 can indicate inadequate analgesia. We designed a NOL-guided and Observational study, 2-cohort (retrospective and prospective) trial to test the hypothesis that protocol-driven intraoperative analgesia guided by NOL during laparoscopic colorectal surgery would improve and reduce titration of intraoperative analgesics. Method: This monocentric, observational, and guided study aimed to compare perioperative data during laparoscopic colorectal surgery with or without the use of NOL monitor (NOL-guided vs. Control group). Intraoperative analgesia was provided by injection of fentanyl, which was performed according to the clinician’s assessment in the Control group or to the NOL monitor in the NOL-guided group. The primary outcome was a reduction in fentanyl consumption during surgery in the NOL-guided group. Results: Between 2017 and 2019, 70 patients (i.e., 36 in the Control group and 34 patients in the NOL-guided group) were included. The mean consumption fentanyl was significantly lower in the NOL-guided group (450mg) versus 600mg in the Control group (P = 0.005). Median postoperative pain score in T0, when the patient woke up in the operation room, was2 (inter-quartile range 0-5) and 0 (0-4) in Control and NOL-guided group, respectively (p=0.132). Conclusion: The NOL index in laparoscopic colorectal surgery decreased with incremental fentanyl doses during sevoflurane anaesthesia. This reduction in the intraoperative analgesia suggests its interesting potential as a nociception monitor during general anaesthesia (GA). Future studies should employ more robust design, be appropriately powered and seek to follow longer term outcomes.","PeriodicalId":92399,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical anesthesia and pain management","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74685264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Telemedicine appointments, which refer to the remote delivery of healthcare services through audio or visual means, were offered as an alternative to in-person visits in an effort to continue delivering quality patient care while practicing social distancing recommendations in a safe manner. We hypothesize that patient satisfaction with telemedicine visits is similar when compared to in-person office visits during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A retrospective, single institution analysis was conducted to assess patient satisfaction with telemedicine and in-person visits with a chronic pain provider during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 170 patient visits were included in the study, including 42 telemedicine and 128 in-person patient visits. Results: Both telemedicine and in-person patients rated the provider similarly on a scale of 0-10, with means of 9.0 and 9.2 respectively [p = 0.56]. A majority of patients in each group, 83.3% for telemedicine and 87.5% for in-person, expressed a high degree of confidence that the care provider knew their medical history [p = 0.6]. Similarly, 83.3 % of telemedicine and 93.0% of in-person expressed a high degree of confidence that the provider listened to them [p = 0.07]. Lastly, 83.3% of telemedicine and 93.0% in-person patients would “definitely recommend” the provider’s office to family and friends [p = 0.07] (Table 1). Discussion: The post appointment surveys were not statistically different between the two studied populations. This supports the notion that telemedicine appointments are potentially non-inferior to in-person appointments in regard to patient satisfaction and provider rating.","PeriodicalId":92399,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical anesthesia and pain management","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90678970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theory behind this maneuver has been controversial. Recently I reported this phenomenon might be explained by the release of compressed air inside of the epidural needle into the epidural space [1]. The reason why I reached this theory is that a drop of saline placed within the hub of an epidural needle is sucked in when the needle is advanced and penetrates through a polyurethane foam cube. And I also showed the pressure inside of the epidural needle increased according to the distance the needle traveled to penetrate the polyurethane foam. Furthermore, once we stop advancing the needle, the pressure inside of the needle drops to zero. This may be explained by the leakage of the air inside of the needle. This means the amount of “aspiration” of saline drop differs according to the distance of the needle tip reaches the epidural space through the ligament after advancing the needle.
