Background. The optimal dose and concentration of analgesic efficacy of ropivacaine (RPV) and bupivacaine (BPV) for postoperative pain relief in paediatric abdominal surgery patients is still unclear. Therefore, this meta-analysis compared the efficacy of these analgesics, their administered modes (ultrasound-guided RSB versus LAI) for postoperative pain relief, and side effects. Methods. Three databases, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, were exhaustively searched with predefined keywords. Eight randomized clinical trials and retrospective studies were selected. Analgesic effect, postoperative pain score, level of side effect, applied dose, and concentration of drug were analysed. Results. Drug dose ranged from 0.5–2.5 mL/kg of 0.2 to 0.5% concentrations. Male participant for RSB and LAI treatment groups varied from 40–62% and 25–83%, respectively. Mean age of RSB and LAI groups ranged from 3.8–11.65 years and 4.3–11.27 years, respectively. Our meta-analysis revealed that RSB could reduce total opioid use postoperatively (WMD = −0.02, 95% CI: −0.02, −0.02), with I2 value of 15%. We found that the RPV (0.25%, 2.5 ml/kg) was optimal in suppressing the pain. Its lower concentration (0.2%) was ineffective, whereas higher one (0.375%) seems to increase risk of systemic toxicity. Similarly, BPV (0.25%, 2.5 mg/kg) efficaciously reduced the pain score, while its lower concentration was ineffective. The combined postoperative pain score in the RPV-treated group was found to be significantly reduced ( p < 0.01 ) with I2 value of 85% indicating high heterogeneity. Conclusion. Both RPV and BPV were significantly effective in reducing postoperative pain score. It appears that RSB could be a preferred choice to deliver analgesia, due to reduced opiate dose requirement and improved clinical safety without significant postoperative adverse events.

Abstract Backgroud Patient-controlled analgesia(PCA) with intravenous an opioid has been suggested as a effective method of postoperative pain relief. There are several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of comparison of oxycodone and fentanyl for IV-PCA in surgical patients. The purpose of this study was to performed a meta-analysis to compare the effect of intravenous oxycodone and fentanyl on post-operative pain in sugical patients from collected current data. Methods The RCTs of oxycodone versus fentanyl for IV-PCA were gathered from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, CNKI and VIP data. After data extraction and quality assessment of the included RCTs, the RevMan 5.3 software was applied for meta-analysis of numerical rating scale (NRS) scores, accumulated IV-PCA consumption of oxycodone and fentanyl, patient satisfaction, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and other adverse events (AEs). Results Results reported from eight RCTs involving 600 patients are included in the meta-analysis. The NRS score at rest and upon movement of group oxycodone was significantly lower than that of group fentanyl (WMD= -3.85, 95% CI -4.93~-2.76, P<0.00001; WMD= -4.31, 95% CI -5.79~-2.84, P<0.00001); however, the incidence of PONV and dizziness was significantly higher in group oxycodone than in group fentanyl (OR = 2.41, 95% CI 1.60~3.63, P < 0.0001; OR=3.69, 95% CI 2.17~6.26, P<0.00001). Accumulated IV-PCA consumption in group oxycodone was less than in group fentanyl overall the 48 hours postoperatively (WMD= -12.11, 95% CI -18.42~-5.80, P = 0.0002). There was no significant difference in patient satisfaction between oxycodone and fentanyl (OR=0.73, 95% CI 0.11~5.04, P= 0.75). Conclusion According to the evidence, this meta-analysis suggest that oxycodone IV-PCA is superior to fentanyl in postoperative pain relief, whereas the higher incidence of PONV and dizziness was accompanied with oxycodone. Further large-scale and well-designed studies are needed to summarize and analyse the data to draw a more convincing conclusion.
