Safety considerations with the current ambulatory trends: more complicated procedures and more complicated patients
Steven Young, Brian Osman, Fred E. Shapiro
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2023;76(5):400-412.

In the last quarter of a century, the backdrop of appropriate ambulatory and office-based surgeries has changed dramatically. Procedures that were traditionally done in hospitals or patients being admitted after surgery are migrating to the outpatient setting and being discharged on the same day, respectively, at a remarkable rate. In the face of this exponential growth, anesthesiologists are constantly being challenged to maintain patient safety by understanding the appropriate patient selection, procedure, and surgical location. Recently published literature supports the trend of higher, more medically complex patients, and more complicated procedures shifting towards the outpatient arena. Several reasons that may account for this include cost incentives, advancement in anesthesia techniques,...

Effects of the costoclavicular block versus interscalene block in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery under monitored anesthesia care: a randomized, prospective, non-inferiority study
Quehua Luo, Junyi Zheng, Caiqi Yang, Wei Wei, Kejia Wang, et al.
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2023;76(5):413-423.

Background: Recent studies have reported that costoclavicular blocks (CCBs) can consistently block almost all branches of the brachial plexus while sparing the phrenic nerve and provide effective analgesia after shoulder surgery. We aimed to compare the efficacy of the CCB with that of the interscalene block (ISB) as the sole blocking technique for shoulder surgery. Methods: A total of 212 patients undergoing elective arthroscopic shoulder surgery were randomized to receive an ISB or CCB based on a non-inferiority design. All patients received titration sedation with propofol under monitored anesthesia during surgery....

Ahmed Mohamed Elhaddad, Salwa Mohamed Hefnawy, Mohamed Abd El-Aziz, Mahmoud Mostafa Ebraheem, Ahmed Kareem Mohamed
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2023;76(5):424-432.

Background: Postoperative pain management after pacemaker insertion routinely requires opioid agents, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or paracetamol. However, interest in opioid-sparing multimodal pain management to minimize postoperative narcotic use has increased recently. This study aimed to assess the pectoral nerve (PECS) block versus standard treatment on postoperative pain control and opioid consumption in pediatric patients after transvenous subpectoral pacemaker insertion. Method: In this randomized controlled study, 40 pediatric patients underwent transvenous subpectoral pacemaker insertion with either congenital or postoperative complete heart block. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups: Group C (control) received conventional analgesic care without any block and Group P (pectoral) received a PECS block. Demographics, procedural variables, postoperative pain,...

Usefulness of C-curved stylet for intubation with the C-MAC® Miller videolaryngoscope in neonates and infants: a prospective randomized controlled trial
Jung-Bin Park, Pyo-Yoon Kang, Taeyup Kim, Sang-Hwan Ji, Young-Eun Jang, et al.
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2023;76(5):433-441.

Background: Optimizing endotracheal tube (ETT) shape is important for successful videolaryngoscope-aided intubation. This prospective randomized controlled study aimed to compare the tube-handling time between a C-curved and hockey stick-shaped stylet in infants and neonates using the C-MAC® videolaryngoscope Miller blade. Methods: A total of 110 infants (age < 1 year) were randomly assigned to either the hockey stick-curved stylet group (group H, n = 53) or the C-curved stylet group (group C, n = 57). The primary outcome was tube handling time after glottis visualization and the secondary outcomes were the...

Hemidiaphragmatic paralysis after costoclavicular approach versus other brachial plexus blocks in upper limb surgery: a meta-analysis
Chang-Hoon Koo, Insung Hwang, Hyun-Jung Shin, Jung-Hee Ryu
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2023;76(5):442-450.

Background: The costoclavicular brachial plexus block (CCB) is a recently established technique that uses the infraclavicular approach and is performed just below the clavicle. This meta-analysis aimed to determine whether CCB can reduce the incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis (HDP), which is a major adverse event related to brachial plexus block (BPB), while yielding comparable block performance as other BPB techniques. Methods: We searched electronic databases to identify relevant studies that compared the incidence of HDP between CCB and other BPB techniques. The primary outcome was the incidence of HDP following CCB...

A novel technique of handling the blade for videolaryngoscopy intubation in patients with a semi-rigid neck collar: a prospective randomized controlled trial
Myoung Hwa Kim, Ji Young Kim, Jong Seok Lee, Arim Jo, Do-Hyeong Kim
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2023;76(5):451-460.

Background: Semi-rigid neck collars to protect the cervical spine can limit the extent of neck movement and mouth opening; this may further complicate orotracheal intubation. We aimed to compare intubation environments obtained with videolaryngoscopy using the technique of gliding a blade under the epiglottis and that obtained using the conventional Macintosh blade technique of blade tip placement on the vallecula. Methods: This prospective randomized study included patients aged ≥ 20 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I–III scheduled for cervical spine surgery between October 2020 and August 2021. Patients...

Propofol-based intravenous anesthesia is associated with improved survival outcomes after major cancer surgery: a nationwide cohort study in South Korea
Tak Kyu Oh, Hayoung Jo, In-Ae Song
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2023;76(5):461-470.

Background: The optimal anesthetic technique for cancer surgery remains a controversial issue. This study aimed to examine whether propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) was associated with survival outcomes after major cancer surgery in South Korea and compare its effectiveness with that of inhalation anesthesia. Methods: This nationwide population-based cohort study included adult patients who were admitted to the hospital and underwent major cancer surgery between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2020. The major cancers included lung, gastric, colorectal, esophageal, small bowel, liver, pancreatic, and bile duct or gallbladder cancers. Results: A...

Ultrasound-guided trans-incisional quadratus lumborum block versus ultrasound-guided caudal analgesia in pediatric open renal surgery: a randomized trial
Amin M. Alansary, Atef Badawy, Marwa A. K. Elbeialy
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2023;76(5):471-480.

Background: The caudal route is a common approach for postoperative analgesia; however, it is associated with limited duration of action. The quadratus lumborum block (QLB) may produce prolonged postoperative analgesia. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of the ultrasound-guided caudal block with that of the ultrasound-guided transincisional QLB (TiQLB) in pediatric patients undergoing open renal surgery. Methods: Forty patients of both sexes, aged 2–11 years, were randomly assigned to receive either caudal analgesia with 1.25 ml/kg of bupivacaine 0.2% (Caudal group; n = 20) or a QLB...

Postoperative norepinephrine versus dopamine in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery: a propensity-matched analysis using a nationwide intensive care database
Yoshitaka Aoki, Mikio Nakajima, Sho Sugimura, Yasuhito Suzuki, Hiroshi Makino, et al.
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2023;76(5):481-489.

Background: Choosing catecholamines, such as norepinephrine and dopamine, for perioperative blood pressure control is essential for anesthesiologists and intensivists. However, studies specific to noncardiac surgery are limited. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effects of postoperative norepinephrine and dopamine on clinical outcomes in adult noncardiac surgery patients by analyzing a nationwide intensive care patient database. Methods: The Japanese Intensive care PAtient Database (JIPAD) was used for this multicenter retrospective study. Adult patients in the JIPAD who received norepinephrine or dopamine within 24 h after noncardiac surgery in 2018–2020 were included. We...

Effects of early postoperative neurocognitive disorders on clinically relevant outcomes: a meta-analysis
Valery V Likhvantsev, Giovanni Landoni, Levan B Berikashvili, Nadezhda V Ermokhina, Mikhail Ya Yadgarov, et al.
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2023;76(5):490-500.

Background: Early postoperative neurocognitive disorders (ePND), include both emergence delirium, which is defined as very early onset postoperative delirium, and emergence agitation, defined as motor arousal. Although research on anesthesia emergence is limited, ePND are likely associated with unfavorable outcomes. This meta-analysis assessed the effect of ePND on clinically relevant outcomes. Methods: A systematic search of studies published between 2002 and 2022 on MEDLINE, PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library was performed. Studies that included adults with emergence agitation and/or delirium and reported at least one of the following outcomes: mortality, postoperative delirium, length of post-anesthesia care unit stay, or length of hospital stay were included. The internal validity, risk...

Dexpanthenol protects against lipopolysaccharide-induced acute kidney injury by restoring aquaporin-2 levels via regulation of the silent information regulator 1 signaling pathway
Eyyüp Sabri Özden, Halil Aşcı, Halil İbrahim Büyükbayram, Mehmet Abdulkadir Sevük, Orhan Berk İmeci, et al.
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2023;76(5):501-509.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious pathology that causes dysfunction in concentrating urine due to kidney damage, resulting in blood pressure dysregulation and increased levels of toxic metabolites. Dexpanthenol (DEX), a pantothenic acid analog, exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties in various tissues. This study investigated the protective effects of DEX against systemic inflammation-induced AKI. Methods: Thirty-two female rats were randomly assigned to the control, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), LPS+DEX, and DEX groups. LPS (5 mg/kg, single dose on the third day, 6 h before sacrifice) and DEX (500 mg/kg/d for...
