Regional Anaesthesia Techniques for Day-SurgeryCSM 2011 • Dr Michael Barrington • Department of Anaesthesia • St Vincent’s Hospital, Melbourne
Attributes of the ideal anaesthetic for day-surgery • High quality analgesia • low pain score • low incidence of side-effects • long duration • Efficient • Patient acceptance
Range of techniques available • Central neural blockade (CNB) • Peripheral nerve blockade (PNB) • Local infiltration analgesia (LIA)
CNB and PNB result in: • decreased pain scores in PACU • decreased requirement for PACU analgesia • CNB was not associated • with decreased PACU time • with reduced nausea • Ambulatory Surgical Unit (ASU) discharge was increased by 35 mins
Peripheral Nerve Blockade • increased ability to bypass PACU (OR14) • decreased PACU time (24 mins) • decreased risk of nausea (OR 0.17) • increased patient satisfaction • not associated with decreased discharge ASU
Entire diamond lies to the right of line, RR = 1, indicating that ultrasound guided blocks are more likely to be successful
Ambulatory shoulder surgery Ultrasound-guided techniques: interscalene (n = 515) supraclavicular (n = 654) blocks
Pain score (VAS) in PACU 0/10 Need for IV analgesia in PACU 0.6% Time in PACU 168 mins
Body mass index 22 kg/m2 Volume of local anaesthetic 50 mls Hospital for Special Surgery
Side-effects/complications Hoarseness 26% Dyspnoea 8% Pneumothorax 0% LA toxicity 0%
The role of Ultrasound Low dose efficacy studies (both single shot and continuous infusions)
Severe hypotension following interscalene block Bilateral upper limb block in PACU Differential diagnosis: Bezold-Jarisch reflex Anaphylaxis Intrathecal spread Epidural spread
Infraclavicular block (ICB), chloroprocaine compared with GA (LMA, desflurane) and wound infiltration in RCT • PACU nurses “blinded” to technique scored patients for readyness for PACU discharge
76% of patients who received ICB met criteria for PACU bypass compared to 25% in the GA group • None of the patients in the ICB group requested pain medication in hospital compared to 48% in the GA group • Patients receiving ICB were able to ambulate earlier 82 min vs 145 min with GA
Results from St Vincent’s Hospital, Melbourne
Unilateral breast surgery without reconstruction Randomised to single-shot paravertebral block (PVB) or continuous (PVB) 0.1 %, 0.2% or saline infusion for 48 hrs
Validated pain assessment instruments including McGill Pain Questionnaire
No clinically significant difference in: degree of postoperative pain Nausea Mood state Level of symptom distress Return to normal activity
Patients having unilateral breast surgery without reconstruction were randomised to receive either GA alone or combined GA and PVB • Multilevel blocks T1 - T6 PVB • Ropivacaine 5mg/kg + Adrenaline (350mg maximum) was used
Pain was study endpoint • Pain scores were lower following PVB at one hour and at three hours, but not at later time points • Pain scores were higher in PVB at 24 hrs compared to GA alone
Inguinal hernea repair Randomised to GA or paravertebral blockade
Patients randomised to paravertebral blockade had improved outcomes including analgesia and recovery
Inguinal hernea repair Randomised to transversus abdominis plane block or conventional ilioinguinal/ileohypogastric nerve blocks (n= 273)
Ultrasound techniques: Reduced pain scores at 4, 12 and 24 hours No difference in PACU, Postoperative day 1 or thereafter
1. Single injection wound • 2. Continuous local anaesthetic wound infusions • 3. High volume local anaesthetic wound infiltration • Need for procedure specific randomised controlled trials
1. Single injection wound • 2. Continuous local anaesthetic wound infusions • 3. High volume local anaesthetic wound infiltration • Need for procedure specific randomised controlled trials
Wound infiltration • Efficacy should be procedure specific • Single injection of local anaesthetic at completion of surgery reduce analgesia - short duration only • Choice of local anaesthetic important • Catheter type • Adjuvants • Note anatomical location of infiltration
Sites of wound catheter placement • Intraperitoneal • Intraarticular • Subfascial • Subcutaneous • Intrapleural • Substernal
Knee Arthroscopy • One of the most common lower limb ambulatory surgical procedures • Multitude of intraarticular agents used for postoperative analgesia (opiates, NSAID, local anaesthetics) • Peripheral blocks
Four groups: 0.9 % saline, bupivacaine 0.25%, ropivacaine 0.2%, ropivacaine 0.75% No difference within LA groups 40% of patients receiving placebo had motor block
