RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the effect of intravenous (IV) methadone versus intrathecal morphine (ITM) within an Enhanced Recovery After Cardiac Surgery (ERACS) pathway on postoperative pain and outcomes (length of hospital stay and postoperative complications) after cardiac surgery. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Two tertiary academic medical institutions within the same health system. PARTICIPANTS: Eligible 289 adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with an enhanced recovery pathway from January 2020 through July 2021. INTERVENTIONS: Patients were administered ITM (0.25 mg) or IV methadone (0.1 mg/kg) if ITM was contraindicated. All patients were enrolled in an ERACS pathway using current Enhanced Recovery After Surgery society guidelines. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Primary outcome measures included postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption measured as oral morphine equivalents. We analyzed patient demographics, procedural factors, intraoperative medications, and outcomes. Adjusted linear mixed models were fit to analyze associations between intervention and pain outcomes. ITM was associated with decrease in pain scores on postoperative day 0 after adjusting for clinical variables (average marginal effect, 0.49; 95% confidence interval, 0.002-0.977; p = 0.049). No difference in opioid consumption could be demonstrated between groups after adjusting for postoperative day and other variables of interest. CONCLUSIONS: ITM when compared with IV methadone was associated with a decrease in pain scores without any difference in opioid consumption after elective cardiac surgery. Methadone can be considered as a safe and effective alternative to ITM for ERACS protocols. Future large prospective studies are needed to validate this finding and further improve analgesia and safety.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of stiffness during the first 6 months after rotator cuff repair and to evaluate postoperative stiffness with respect to its risk factors and its influence on the outcome at 6 months postoperatively. METHODS: In a prospective cohort of 117 patients (69 women, 48 men; average age 59) from our institutional rotator cuff registry, who underwent either arthroscopic (n = 77) or open (n = 40) rotator cuff repair, we measured shoulder range of motion (ROM) at 3 and 6 months post-surgery. We evaluated the incidence of stiffness and analyzed functional outcomes, comparing various preoperative and intraoperative factors in patients with stiffness to those without at the 6-month mark. RESULTS: Shoulder stiffness was observed in 31% of patients (36/117) at 3 months postoperatively, decreasing to 20% (23/117) at 6 months. No significant link was found between stiffness at 6 months and demographic factors, preoperative stiffness, tear characteristics, or the type of repair. Notably, patients undergoing arthroscopic repair exhibited a 4.3-fold higher risk (OR 4.3; 95% CI 1.2-15.6, p = 0.02) of developing stiffness at 6 months compared to those with mini-open repair. Despite these differences in stiffness rates, no significant variation was seen in the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) score, or Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores at 6 months between the groups. CONCLUSION: The incidence of postoperative shoulder stiffness following rotator cuff repair was substantial at 31% at 3 months, reducing to 20% by 6 months. Mini-open repair was associated with a lower 6-month stiffness incidence than arthroscopic repair, likely due to variations in rehabilitation protocols. However, the presence of stiffness at 6 months post-surgery did not significantly affect functional outcomes or pain levels.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to delineate the recovery patterns of regional oxygen saturation (SrO2) in pediatric cardiac surgery patients subjected to remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC), utilizing near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for quantification. It also sought to establish the correlation between these perfusion patterns and postoperative clinical outcomes. DESIGN: A prospective longitudinal observational study. SETTING: The study was conducted at Fundación Valle Del Lili, a high-complexity service provider institution in Fundación Valle Del Lili. PARTICIPANTS: Pediatric patients (younger than 18 years of age) scheduled for elective cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass between August 2022 and July 2023. INTERVENTIONS: RIPC was performed after anesthetic induction, involving cycles of ischemia and reperfusion on a lower limb. Monitoring included SrO2 using NIRS. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The study identified 4 distinct patterns of SrO2 during RIPC. Findings demonstrated a significant association between the negative SrO2 pattern and increased postoperative adverse events, including extended hospital stays and higher mortality, while a positive pattern was associated with better outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Specific patterns of SrO2 response to RIPC may serve as important indicators for risk stratification in congenital heart surgery. This study illustrated the potential of NIRS in detecting hypoxic states and predicting postoperative outcomes, emphasizing the need for standardized clinical interpretation of RIPC patterns.

BACKGROUND: Perioperative blood transfusion (PBT) has been associated with worse outcomes across tumor types, including bladder cancer. We report our institutional experience with PBT utilization in the setting of radical cystectomy (RC) for patients with bladder cancer, exploring whether timing of PBT receipt influences perioperative and oncologic outcomes. METHODS: Consecutive patients with bladder cancer treated with RC were identified. PBT was defined as red blood cell transfusion during RC or the postoperative admission. Clinicopathologic and peri and/or postoperative parameters were extracted and compared between patients who did and did not receive PBT using Mann Whitney U Test, chi-square, and log-rank test. Overall (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were estimated with the Kaplan Meier method. Univariate/multivariate logistic and Cox proportional hazards regression were used to identify variables associated with postoperative and oncologic outcomes, respectively. RESULTS: The cohort consisted of 747 patients (77% men; median age 67 years). Median follow-up was 61.5 months (95% CI 55.8-67.2) At least one postoperative complication (90-day morbidity) occurred in 394 (53%) patients. Median OS and RFS were 91.8 months (95% CI: 76.0-107.6) and 66.0 months (95% CI: 48.3-83.7), respectively. On multivariate analysis, intraoperative, but not postoperative, BT was independently associated with shorter OS (HR: 1.74, 95% CI: 1.32-2.29) and RFS (HR: 1.55, 95%CI: 1.20-2.01), after adjusting for relevant clinicopathologic variables. PBT (intra- or post- operative) was significantly associated with prolonged postoperative hospitalization ≥10 days. CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative BT was associated with inferior OS and RFS, and PBT overall was associated with prolonged hospitalization following RC. Further studies are needed to validate this finding and explore potential causes for this observation.

Abstract Background and objective: There are few data defining the period of time in which preoperative tests can be considered valid. The purpose of this study was to determine the likelihood of changes in the results of preoperative tests previously normal in relation to time, and the impact of these changes on postoperative outcomes. Methods: A total of 970 patients with normal preoperative tests before the first surgery and who required a new intervention were included. The preoperative tests performed for the first procedure were compared with those performed for the second procedure. The following variables were assessed regarding their potential to induce changes in test results: sex, age, surgical risk, previous chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and presence of comorbidities. In-hospital outcomes were analyzed. Results: The median time between procedures was 27 months (6-84). The probability of change in at least one of the preoperative exams was 1.7% (95% CI: 0.5-2.9), 3.6% (95% CI: 1.8-5.4), and 6.4% (95% CI: 3.9-8.9) during the 12, 24, and 36-month intervals, respectively, for patients aged <50 years and 2.1% (95% CI: 0.7-3.5), 9.2% (95% CI: 5.9-12.5), and 13.4% (95% CI: 9.3-17.5), respectively, for patients ≥50 years of age. Age (p = 0.009), surgical risk (p < 0.001), chemotherapy (p = 0.001), radiotherapy (p = 0.012), and comorbidities (p < 0.001) were associated with the likelihood of changes in test results. Test changes were not significantly associated with in-hospital adverse outcomes (p = 0.426). Conclusion: For patients undergoing a second surgical procedure, the probability of change in previously normal preoperative tests is low during the first years after the first surgical intervention, and when changes occurred, they did not adversely affect the in-hospital postoperative outcomes.
Resumo Justificativa e objetivo: Existem poucos dados que delimitam o período de tempo em que os exames pré-operatórios podem ser considerados válidos. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a probabilidade de mudanças nos resultados de exames pré-operatórios previamente normais em relação ao tempo e o impacto dessas alterações nos desfechos pós-operatórios. Métodos: Foram incluídos 970 pacientes com exames pré-operatórios normais antes da primeira cirurgia e que requereram uma nova intervenção. Os exames pré-operatórios feitos para o primeiro procedimento foram comparados com aqueles feitos para o segundo procedimento. As seguintes variáveis foram analisadas em relação ao seu potencial para induzir alterações nos resultados dos exames: sexo, idade, risco cirúrgico, quimioterapia ou radioterapia prévia e presença de comorbidades. Desfechos intra-hospitalares foram analisados. Resultados: A mediana temporal entre os procedimentos foi de 27 meses (6-84). A probabilidade de alteração em pelo menos um dos exames pré-operatórios foi de 1,7% (IC 95%: 0,5-2,9), 3,6% (IC 95%: 1,8-5,4) e 6,4% (IC 95%: 3,9-8,9) nos intervalos 12, 24 e 36 meses, respectivamente, para pacientes < 50 anos e 2,1% (IC 95%: 0,7-3,5), 9,2% (IC 95%: 5,9-12,5) e 13,4% (IC 95%: 9,3-17,5), respectivamente, para pacientes ≥ 50 anos. Idade (p = 0,009), risco cirúrgico (p < 0,001), quimioterapia (p = 0,001), radioterapia (p = 0,012) e presença de comorbidades (p < 0,001) estavam associadas com a probabilidade de mudanças nos resultados dos exames. Alterações nos exames não se associaram significativamente a desfechos intra-hospitalares adversos (p = 0,426). Conclusão: Para pacientes submetidos a um segundo procedimento cirúrgico, a probabilidade de alteração nos exames pré-operatórios previamente normais é baixa durante os primeiros anos após a primeira intervenção cirúrgica e quando ocorreram mudanças não afetaram adversamente os desfechos pós-operatórios intra-hospitalares.
