Abstract

Background: Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in otherwise healthy neonates frequently requires urgent surgical procedure but anaesthesia care may result in respiratory complications, such as hypoxaemia, pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents, and postoperative apnoea. The primary aim was to study whether or not the incidence of difficult airway management and of hypoxaemia in neonates undergoing pyloric stenosis repair was higher than that in neonates undergoing other surgeries. Methods: Data on neonates and infants undergoing anaesthesia and surgery for pyloric stenosis were extracted from the NEonate and Children audiT of Anesthesia pRactice In Europe (NECTARINE) database, for secondary analysis. Results: We identified 310 infants who had anaesthesia for surgery for pyloric stenosis. Difficult airway management (more than two attempts at laryngoscopy) was higher in children with pyloric stenosis when compared with the entire NECTARINE cohort (7.9% [95% confidence interval {CI}, 5.22–11.53] vs 4.4% [95% CI, 1.99–6.58]; relative risk [RR]=1.81 [95% CI, 1.21–2.69]; P=0.004), whereas transient hypoxaemia with oxygen saturation

Abstract

Background: Neonates and infants are susceptible to hypoxaemia in the perioperative period. The aim of this study was to analyse interventions related to anaesthesia tracheal intubations in this European cohort and identify their clinical consequences. Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of tracheal intubations of the European multicentre observational trial (NEonate and Children audiT of Anaesthesia pRactice IN Europe [NECTARINE]) in neonates and small infants with difficult tracheal intubation. The primary endpoint was the incidence of difficult intubation and the related complications. The secondary endpoints were the risk factors for severe hypoxaemia attributed to difficult airway management, and 30 and 90 day outcomes. Results: Tracheal intubation was planned in 4683 procedures. Difficult tracheal intubation, defined as two failed attempts of direct laryngoscopy, occurred in 266 children (271 procedures) with an incidence (95% confidence interval [CI]) of 5.8% (95% CI, 5.1e6.5). Bradycardia occurred in 8% of the cases with difficult intubation, whereas a significant decrease in oxygen saturation (SpO2

Abstract

BACKGROUND Little is known about current clinical practice concerning peri-operative red blood cell transfusion in neonates and small infants. Guidelines suggest transfusions based on haemoglobin thresholds ranging from 8.5 to 12���g���dl-1, distinguishing between children from birth to day 7 (week 1), from day 8 to day 14 (week 2) or from day 15 (���week 3) onwards. OBJECTIVE To observe peri-operative red blood cell transfusion practice according to guidelines in relation to patient outcome. DESIGN A multicentre observational study. SETTING The NEonate-Children sTudy of Anaesthesia pRactice IN Europe (NECTARINE) trial recruited patients up to 60 weeks' postmenstrual age undergoing anaesthesia for surgical or diagnostic procedures from 165 centres in 31 European countries between March 2016 and January 2017. PATIENTS The data included 5609 patients undergoing 6542 procedures. Inclusion criteria was a peri-operative red blood cell transfusion. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary endpoint was the haemoglobin level triggering a transfusion for neonates in week 1, week 2 and week 3. Secondary endpoints were transfusion volumes, 'delta haemoglobin' (preprocedure - transfusion-triggering) and 30-day and 90-day morbidity and mortality. RESULTS Peri-operative red blood cell transfusions were recorded during 447 procedures (6.9%). The median haemoglobin levels triggering a transfusion were 9.6 [IQR 8.7 to 10.9] g���dl-1 for neonates in week 1, 9.6 [7.7 to 10.4] g���dl-1 in week 2 and 8.0 [7.3 to 9.0] g���dl-1 in week 3. The median transfusion volume was 17.1 [11.1 to 26.4] ml���kg-1 with a median delta haemoglobin of 1.8 [0.0 to 3.6] g���dl-1. Thirty-day morbidity was 47.8% with an overall mortality of 11.3%. CONCLUSIONS Results indicate lower transfusion-triggering haemoglobin thresholds in clinical practice than suggested by current guidelines. The high morbidity and mortality of this NECTARINE sub-cohort calls for investigative action and evidence-based guidelines addressing peri-operative red blood cell transfusions strategies.

Abstract

Pain following spinal cord injury (SCI) is a therapeutic challenge. Only a few treatments have been assessed in randomized, controlled trials. The primary objective of the present study was to examine the analgesic effect of ketamine and lidocaine in a group of patients with neuropathic pain below the level of spinal cord injury. We also wanted to assess sensory abnormalities to see if this could help us to identify responders and if treatments resulted in changes of sensibility.Ten patients with spinal cord injury and neuropathic pain below the level of injury were included. The analgesic effect of ketamine 0.4 mg kg(-1) and lidocaine 2.5 mg kg(-1) was investigated. Saline was used as placebo. The drugs were infused over 40 min. A randomized, double-blind, three-period, three-treatment, cross-over design was used. Systemic plasma concentrations of ketamine and lidocaine were assessed. Pain rating was performed using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Sensory function was assessed with a combination of traditional sensory tests and quantitative measurement of temperature thresholds.Response to treatment, defined as 50% reduction in VAS-score during infusion, was recorded in 5/10 in the ketamine, 1/10 in the lidocaine and 0/10 in the placebo groups. Neither ketamine nor lidocaine changed temperature thresholds or assessments of mechanical; dynamic and static sensibility. Nor could these sensory assessments predict response to treatment in this setting. Lidocaine and particularly ketamine were associated with frequent side-effects.Ketamine but not lidocaine showed a significant analgesic effect in patients with neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury. The pain relief was not associated with altered temperature thresholds or other changes of sensory function.

Abstract

Neuropathic pain of central and peripheral origin presents a substantial clinical problem as it is often resistant to pharmacological treatment.The health related quality of life of 126 patients with peripheral neuropathic pain was studied, to provide a cross sectional description from this point of view. Two generic health-related quality of life instruments; the SF-36 and the Nottingham Health Profile were used together with pain assessments, global rating of health and verbal rating scales of pain and other symptoms, as well as patient descriptors.The analgesic effect of ketamine, lidocaine and morphine were assessed in a double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study design. Three groups of patients were studied: patients with peripheral neuropathic pain of traumatic origin, patients with central post-stroke pain and patients with neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury. Somatosensory function was examined to see if this could predict response to treatment and to investigate if the drugs caused changes in thermal or mechanical sensibility.The results shows that the intense pain, limited efficacy and tolerability of available treatments, the low overall rating of health, reduced work status and troublesome symptoms constitute a substantial impact on the quality of life for patients with peripheral neuropathic pain.The NMDA-antagonist ketamine yielded substantial pain relief to patients with peripheral neuropathic pain and patients with neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury. However, the reported side effects limit the clinical usefulness of the treatment. Lidocaine did not give significant pain relief to the patients in the three studied groups. Morphine may represent a therapeutic alternative for some patients with central post-stroke pain, although only a small group of this category of patients responded with analgesia.Assessment of baseline somatosensory functions could not be used to identify responders to treatment with either drug, nor did ketamine, lidocaine or morphine cause any changes in thermal or mechanical sensibility.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the psychometric properties of two generic health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instruments, the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) in a group of patients with chronic peripheral neuropathic pain (PNP). The sample consisted of 126 adults (56 men and 70 women) with PNP following a lesion of a peripheral nerve, spinal nerve or nerve root or patients with post-herpetic neuralgia. The battery of tests included visual analogue scales (VASs) for pain assessment and global rating of health and verbal rating scales of pain and other symptoms, as well as patient descriptors. The SF-36 had higher internal consistency reliability coefficients (alpha=0.79, range 0.70-0.90) than the NHP (alpha=0.68, range 0.49-0.79). Correlations between comparable dimensions of the two instruments were significant (range from -0.79 for the physical and mental dimensions to -0.29 for the social dimension) indicating a moderate degree of convergent validity. The study population had significantly worse scores on all dimensions of the two instruments when compared with the general population. Subjects with high VAS scores for pain on movement and those with low global health ratings had poorer scores on the both instruments. Overall, the SF-36 performed somewhat better on psychometric testing than did the NHP. However, the NHP contains dimensions such as sleep and more pain items which might be of particular importance in the PNP population. Since the instruments are short, both could be retained for continued testing in outcome studies of this population.

Abstract

Two high molecular weight staphylococcal proteins, fibronectin-binding protein and a Mr 200,000 protein, were investigated as antigens for serodiagnosis of staphylococcal infections. Sera from patients with staphylococcal infections and from controls were subjected to immunoblot analysis with staphylococcal lysate proteins to identify staphylococcal antigens to which patients with staphylococcal infections specifically exhibited antibodies. One such protein was found in the Mr 200,000 region. This protein was purified and used as antigen in ELISA and compared with other antigens, namely fibronectin-binding protein(s) (FNBP, Mr 185,000), alpha-toxin and teichoic acid. Sera from patients with staphylococcal infections contained antibodies to the high molecular weight proteins in higher titers than sera from patients with non-staphylococcal infections or healthy subjects. Based on their amino-acid compositions and different abilities to bind fibronectin it was concluded that the Mr 200,000 protein and FNBP were not identical.

Abstract

The present study was undertaken to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and burden of illness due to pain and its treatment for patients with peripheral neuropathic pain (PNP). It is the first step in finding reliable instruments/targets to evaluate treatment outcome in this patient population. Study population consisted of 126 patients suffering from neuropathic pain due to a peripheral nerve or root lesion, recruited from two multidisciplinary pain clinics. HRQoL was examined using Short Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey and Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). Pain intensity in four categories (at rest and evoked by movement, touch and cold) was rated on a visual analogue scale (VAS). Degree of discomfort from pain and 25 symptoms related to pain and side-effects was also assessed. Reduction in workload due to pain was recorded, as was the pain relief from previous and current treatments and the reasons for discontinuing previous treatments. All dimensions in SF-36 and NHP were significantly impaired. SF-36 was a valid instrument for describing the impact of pain on the HRQoL of patients with PNP. NHP had a lower reliability but has other advantages that might be of importance. Many patients experienced poor pain relief from ongoing pain treatments. Most previous treatments were discontinued owing to lack of efficacy and/or severe side-effects. Many patients experienced a high intensity of at least one type of pain; median VAS for the highest pain intensity score of each patient (any type of pain) was 74/100. Besides pain, patients were most bothered by difficulty in sleeping, lack of energy, drowsiness, difficulty in concentrating and dry mouth. Employment status was reduced owing to pain in 52% of the patients. The intense pain, other troublesome symptoms, limited efficacy and tolerability of available treatments, together with the impaired health and reduced work status, amount to a substantial burden for patients with PNP.
