Background. Intraperitoneal nebulization of ropivacaine reduces postoperative pain and morphine consumption after laparoscopic surgery. The aim of this multicenter double-blind randomized controlled trial was to assess the efficacy of different doses and dose-related absorption of ropivacaine when nebulized in the peritoneal cavity during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods. Patients were randomized to receive 50, 100, or 150 mg of ropivacaine 1% by peritoneal nebulization through a nebulizer. Morphine consumption, pain intensity in the abdomen, wound and shoulder, time to unassisted ambulation, discharge time, and adverse effects were collected during the first 48 hours after surgery. The pharmacokinetics of ropivacaine was evaluated using high performance liquid chromatography. Results. Nebulization of 50 mg of ropivacaine had the same effect of 100 or 150 mg in terms of postoperative morphine consumption, shoulder pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting, activity resumption, and hospital discharge timing (>0.05). Plasma concentrations did not reach toxic levels in any patient, and no significant differences were observed between groups (P>0.05). Conclusions. There is no enhancement in analgesic efficacy with higher doses of nebulized ropivacaine during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. When administered with a microvibration-based aerosol humidification system, the pharmacokinetics of ropivacaine is constant and maintains an adequate safety profile for each dosage tested.

Background: The incidence of moderate to severe pain is high among patients undergoing spinal surgery. Nefopam can be used as an adjuvant analgesic postoperatively after spine surgery. The study aimed to assess the analgesic efficacy and side effects of nefopam on 24-hour postoperative morphine consumption after spine surgery. Methods: The study is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. A total of 96 patients were randomized into 4 treatment groups, 24 each. In group 1, patients received normal saline before surgical incision and before the end of surgery. In group 2, patients received 30 mg nefopam before surgical incision and normal saline before the end of surgery. In group 3, patients received normal saline before surgical incision and 30 mg of nefopam before the end of surgery. In group 4, patients received 30 mg of nefopam in both timings. Patient-controlled analgesia morphine was used for the postoperative period. Outcomes were to determine 24-hour morphine consumption and incidence of side effects.  Results: Of 96 patients enrolled, 21 in placebo-placebo, 22 in nefopam-placebo, 22 in placebo-nefopam and 21 in nefopam-nefopam groups completed the study. Analysis of the Kruskal-Wallis test shows no significant difference in 24-hour postoperative morphine consumption between four groups, which were 18 [IQR 13.5-29], 20 [IQR 11-28.3], 17 [IQR 11.5-28.5], 13 [IQR 8.5-18.5] mg., respectively (p = 0.223).  Incidence of side effects, including tachycardia, sedation, sweating and nausea/ vomiting, did not differ. Conclusions: Adding perioperative nefopam to opioid analgesic does not improve analgesic efficacy in patients who underwent spine surgery.

Abstract Aim To study the effectiveness of intraperitoneal instillation of tramadol for postoperative laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) pain relief and improve incidence of adverse effect. Methods Double blinded randomized controlled trial over 1 year. The Ethical Clearance was obtained from Institutional Ethics Committee. 60 patients scheduled for LC were enrolled in the study. Patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups using computer generated random numbers. Group T: Received intraperitoneal tramadol 100 mg (diluted in 20 mls distilled water). Group S: Received 20 ml of intraperitoneal normal saline. Pain was assessed using VAS. The assessment was done at 0, 15, 30, 60 minutes, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 24 hours. Incidence of adverse effect were observed. Results In group T, the mean pain scores at all the intervals were significantly low (p < 0.050) except at 24 hours (p = 0.210). Analgesia requirement was significantly high in group S compared to group T immediate post op, 15, 60 minutes, 8 and 12 hours (p < 0.050). The mean requirement of analgesia immediate post op, 15 minutes, 4 and 8 hours was significantly low in group T compared to group S (p < 0.050). 30% patients in group T did not require analgesia at all compared to S (p < 0.001). Incidence of adverse effects at 4 hours was 43% in group S compared to 40% in group T (p > 0.050). Conclusion Intraperitoneal instillation of tramadol in LC has beneficial effect in terms of postoperative pain relief following LC and lower requirement of analgesia. However, the incidence of adverse effects was comparable in both the groups.

Background. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of common complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of subhypnotic (1 mg/kg/h) infusion of propofol with dexamethasone on PONV in patients undergoing LC.Methods. A total of 120 patients were included in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients were randomly assigned to 3 groups; patients of group dexamethasone (group D) were administrated 8 mg dexamethasone before induction of anesthesia, patients of group propofol (group P) were infused to subhypnotic (1 mg/kg/h) propofol during operation and patients of group control (group C) were applied infusion of 10% intralipid. The incidence of PONV and needs for rescue analgesic and antiemetic were recorded in the first 24 h postoperatively.Results. In the 0–24 h, the incidence of PONV was significantly lower in the group D and group P compared with the group C (37.5%, 40%, and 72.5%, resp.). There was no significant difference in the incidence of PONV and use of antiemetics and analgesic between group D and group P.Conclusion. We concluded that infusion of propofol 1 mg/kg/h is as effective as dexamethasone for the prevention of PONV during the first 24 hours after anesthesia in patients undergoing LC.
