まとめ
腰部融合手術後のガバペンチノイドの早期使用は,長期にわたるオピオイドの必要性を減少させる可能性があります. この研究では,ガバペンチノイドは3-6セグメントの融合に強いオピオイドの処方量を低下させたが,より大きなセグメントにはそうではなかった.
科学分野:
- 神経外科
- 痛みの管理
- 薬理学について
背景:
- ガバペンチノイドは神経疾患の痛みに対して使用され,オピオイドの効果を高める可能性があります.
- 大規模な脊髄外科手術後の長期オピオイド使用の減少における役割は不明である.
研究 の 目的:
- 手術後のガバペンチノイドの処方箋が,長期間のオピオイド使用に影響するかどうかを調査する.
- 脊髄融合の範囲に基づいてこの関連を分析する (3-6対7-12セグメント).
主な方法:
- トリネットX研究ネットワークを用いた後部腰部計測 (3~12段) を受けた患者の遡及的なコホート分析.
- 患者は,手術後の30日以内にガバペンチノイド (ガバペンチン/ プレガバリン) を受けたか否かによって階層化されました.
- オピオイドの処方箋は手術後24ヶ月まで評価された.
主要な成果:
- 3~6セグメントの融合群では,早期のガバペンチノイド使用は,すべてのフォローアップポイントで,非コーデインベースの強力なオピオイド処方量の有意に低い確率と関連していました.
- ガバペンチノイドを投与した3~6ヶ月の患者では,弱度のオピオイドの処方率が高かった.
- 7~12セグメントの融合群では,オピオイド処方における有意な差異は認められなかった.
結論:
- 早期の術後のガバペンチノイド処方薬は,腰部融合3~6段後の非コーデインベースの強いオピオイドの慢性使用が減少している.
- ガバペンチノイドは多様性鎮痛薬の重要な成分であり,強力なオピオイドへの依存を軽減し,脊椎手術患者の長期的な依存リスクを軽減することができます.

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia
777
Spinal anesthetics are given during lower abdomen and limb surgeries to block sensory and motor neurons. They are administered in the mid to low lumbar regions, primarily acting on the cauda equina's nerve roots. The blockade level depends on the local anesthetic (LA) concentration. Usually, low LA concentrations are sufficient to block sensory fibers, while only high LA concentrations block motor fibers. Other factors like injection volume and speed, the patient's posture, and the drug...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia
498
Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...

Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids
426
Synthetic and semisynthetic opioids are pivotal in pain management and tackling opioid addiction. Semisynthetic opioids, including morphinans (morphine derivatives), oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone, have improved pharmacokinetic profiles compared to morphine. Additionally, heroin and 6-MAM (6-Monoacetylmorphine) show better CNS penetration than morphine due to heightened lipid solubility. Hydromorphone, a potent opioid, undergoes hepatic metabolism to form the active...

Analgesia and Pain Management
788
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Opioid Analgesics: Morphine and Other Natural Cogeners
361
Opioids are a class of drugs that mimic endogenous opioid peptides and act on opioid receptors, and help in pain relief. These compounds are classified as natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic. Natural opioids, like morphine, codeine, and thebaine, are derived from the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum or Papaver album) and are termed opiates. Synthetic opioids are artificial, while semi-synthetic opioids combine natural and synthetic compounds. Morphine, a prototypical opioid, possesses a...
