Background There is heterogeneity in the names and anatomical descriptions of regional anesthetic techniques. This may have adverse consequences on education, research, implementation into clinical practice. We aimed to produce standardized nomenclature for abdominal wall, paraspinal, chest wall Methods conducted an international consensus study involving experts using a three-round Delphi method list corresponding targets. After long-list formulation by Steering Committee, first second...
OBJECTIVEEnhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) and multimodal analgesia are established care models that minimize perioperative opioid consumption promote positive outcomes spine surgery. Opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) is an emerging technique may achieve similar goals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate OFA regimen within ERAS pathway for lumbar decompressive compare requirements in a matched cohort patients managed with traditional opioid-containing (OCA).METHODSThe authors performed...
Study Design. A retrospective cohort study of prospectively collected data. Objective. The aim this was to describe the development and early experience with an evidence-based enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway for lumbar decompression. Summary Background Data. ERAS protocols have been consistently associated improved patient outcomes, reduced cost length hospital stay (LoS). Despite successes in other orthopedic subspecialties, has yet be established spine surgery. Here, we...
OBJECTIVEEnhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways are associated with improved outcomes, lower morbidity and complications, higher patient satisfaction in multiple surgical subspecialties. Despite these gains, there few data to guide the application of ERAS concepts spine surgery. The authors report development implementation first pathway for patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF) disc arthroplasty (CDA).METHODSThis was a retrospective cohort study...
Background Prospective trials of enhanced recovery after spine surgery are lacking. We tested the hypothesis that an pathway improves quality one- to two-level lumbar fusion. Methods A patient- and assessor-blinded trial 56 patients randomized (17 evidence-based pre-, intra-, postoperative care elements) or usual was performed. The primary outcome Quality Recovery-40 score (40 200 points) at day 3. Twelve points defined clinically important difference. Secondary outcomes included days 0 2,...
Presumed benefits of erector spinae plane blocks (ESPB) include an enhanced safety profile and few complications. There are large series, which report the incidence complications associated with ESPB on a procedure-specific basis. The objective this retrospective cohort study was to estimate in series patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery.We included 342 consecutive who underwent any primary surgery via posterior approach (November 2018-July 2020). All received bilateral ultrasound-guided...
Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Objective Despite increasing cannabis use, its prevalence in specific surgical groups is unclear, and impact on perioperative care outcomes understudied. This study estimates use incidence patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery explores associations between preoperative anxiety, pain scores, postoperative opioid consumption. We hypothesized a correlation decreased reliance opioids for relief. Methods single-center retrospective included 204 single...
Axons in Wld S mutant mice are protected from Wallerian degeneration by overexpression of a chimeric Ube4b/Nmnat (Wld) gene. Expression protein was independent age these mice. However we identified two distinct neuromuscular synaptic responses to axotomy. In young adult s mice, axotomy induced progressive, asynchronous synapse withdrawal motor endplates, strongly resembling neonatal elimination. Thus, five days after axotomy, 50–90 % endplates were still partially or fully occupied and...
We evaluated the impact of bilateral ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane blocks on pain and opioid-related outcomes within a standardized care pathway for lumbar fusion.A retrospective propensity score matched cohort study. Clinical data were extracted from electronic medical records patients who underwent fusion (January 2019-July 2020). Propensity matching based common confounders was used to match received or did not receive in 1:1 ratio. Primary Numeric Rating Scale scores (0-10)...
Inconsistent nomenclature and anatomical descriptions of regional anesthetic techniques hinder scientific communication engender confusion; this in turn has implications for research, education clinical implementation anesthesia. Having produced standardized abdominal wall, paraspinal chest wall techniques, we aimed to similarly do so upper lower limb peripheral nerve blocks.
