Delirium is the most common postsurgical neurological complication and has a variable incidence rate. Laparoscopic surgery, when associated with the Trendelenburg position, can cause innumerable physiological changes and increase the risk of neurocognitive changes. The association of general anesthesia with a spinal block allows the use of lower doses of anesthetic agents for anesthesia maintenance and facilitates better control over postoperative pain. Our primary outcome was to assess whether a spinal block influences the incidence of delirium in oncologic patients following laparoscopic surgery in the Trendelenburg position. Our secondary outcome was to analyze whether there were other associated factors. A total of 150 oncologic patients who underwent elective laparoscopic surgeries in the Trendelenburg position were included in this randomized controlled trial. The patients were randomized into 2 groups: the general anesthesia group and the general anesthesia plus spinal block group. Patients were immediately evaluated during the postoperative period and monitored until they were discharged, to rule out the presence of delirium. Delirium occurred in 29 patients in total (22.3%) (general anesthesia group: 30.8%; general anesthesia plus spinal block: 13.8% p = 0.035). Patients who received general anesthesia had a higher risk of delirium than patients who received general anesthesia associated with a spinal block (odds ratio = 3.4; 95% confidence interval: 1.2–9.6; p = 0.020). Spinal block was associated with reduced delirium incidence in oncologic patients who underwent elective laparoscopic surgeries in the Trendelenburg position.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to access the influence of active warming after epidural anesthesia (EDA) and before general anesthesia in prevention of perioperative hypothermia. METHOD This randomized controlled trial was conducted in the department of anesthesiology in university medical center of Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam from December 2019 until April 2020. This trial included 60 adult patients who were scheduled for major abdominal surgery with a duration of at least 120 minutes and under combined general anesthesia and EDA. Patients were excluded if age was below 18 years, American Society Anesthesiologists’ physical status classification of IV or higher, or refusal of EDA. Written informed consent was obtained for all patients. Patients were divided randomly into two groups. The first group received 10 minutes of active air-forced warming after EDA before the induction of general anesthesia. The second group was covered with a blanket 10 minutes after EDA and before general anesthesia. Core temperatures were recorded throughout the study. The primary outcome measures were the incidence of perioperative hypothermia and the degree of hypothermia. The secondary outcome measures were rate and time for body temperature to return to normal and incidence of postoperative body shivering. RESULTS Without active warming (n = 21), 70% of patients became hypothermic (<36°C) postoperatively. Active air-forced warming for 10 minutes after EDA and before induction of general anesthesia decreased the incidence of postoperative hypothermia to 26.7% (n = 8). CONCLUSION Active air-forced warming for 10 minutes after EDA and before induction of general anesthesia is efficient in reducing the incidence of perioperative hypothermia.
