Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative oral gabapentin in preventing postoperative Catheter-Related Bladder Discomfort (CRBD) in surgical patients.Methods: Randomized controlled trials in which gabapentin was used for the prevention of CRBD in surgical patients with transurethral catheterization were evaluated. The primary outcome was the incidence of moderate-to-severe CRBD at 0, 1, 2, and 6 h after surgery, and secondary outcomes included the incidence of any grade CRBD, postoperative pain, and adverse events. Pooled risk ratios (RRs) and mean difference (MD), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and P values were estimated using fixed and random effects statistical models. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was used to rate the levels of certainty for key results.Results: A total of 6 randomized controlled trials involving 679 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Gabapentin significantly reduced the risk of moderate-to-severe CRBD at 0, 1, 2, and 6 h (0 h: RR = 0.19, 95% CI: 0.11 to 0.31, p < 0.00001; 1 h: RR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.25 to 0.66, p < 0.001; 2 h: RR = 0.38, 95% CI: 0.26 to 0.56, p < 0.00001; 6 h: RR = 0.20, 95% CI: 0.11 to 0.38, p < 0.00001). The overall incidence of CRBD at 1 h showed no statistical difference between the two groups (RR = 0.55, 95% CI: 0.30 to 1.00, p = 0.05). The risk of CRBD was significantly reduced in the gabapentin group at 0, 2, and 6 h after surgery (0 h: RR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.46 to 0.74, p < 0.0001; 2 h: RR = 0.62, 95% CI: 0.51 to 0.75, p < 0.00001; 6 h: RR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.52 to 0.83, p < 0.001). In addition, gabapentin was associated with low postoperative pain intensity without significant side effects.Conclusion: Preoperative oral gabapentin as an adjunct to surgery is effective in decreasing the risk and severity of CRBD over a short time after surgery, and it can decrease postoperative pain without significant side effects. Overall, the level of certainty was moderate to low.Systematic Review Registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/#recordDetails, identifier: CRD42021228171.

Abstract Background: Ultrasound-guided Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) has been increasingly applied in patients for postoperative analgesia. Its safety and effectiveness remain uncertain. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the clinical safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided ESPB in adults undergoing general anesthesia (GA) surgeries.Methods: A systematic databases search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing ESPB with control or placebo. Primary outcome was iv. opioid consumption 24 h after surgery. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) or risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated with a random-effects model. Results: A total of 11 RCTs consisting of 540 patients were included. Ultrasound -guided ESPB showed a reduction of iv. opioid consumption 24 h after surgery (SMD=-2.15; 95% confidence interval (CI) -2.76 to -1.5,p<0.00001), pain scores at 1st hour (SMD=-0.97;95% CI -1.84 to -0.1,p=0.03) and pain scores at 6th hour (SMD=-0.64,95% CI -1.05 to -0.23,p=0.002), Also, it lessened the number of patients who required postoperative analgesia ( RR=0.41,95% CI 0.25 to 0.66,p=0,0002) and time to first rescue analgesia (SMD=4.56,95% CI 1.89 to 7.22, p=0.0008). Differences were not significant with the pain score at 12th hour,24th hour and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided ESPB provides postoperative analgesic efficacy in adults undergoing GA surgeries with no increase in PONV.
