3Fundamental Considerations
- Millions of patients worldwide undergo surgery.
- Although developing more effective techniques
for postoperative analgesia, many patients
experience pain. -
4PAIN
An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience
associated with actual or potential tissue
damage.

42Factors that modify perioperative pain
- 1- Site ,nature and duration of surgery.
- 2- Type and extent of incision.
- 3- Physiologic and psychologic makeup of the
patient. - 4- Pre operative preparation of the patient.
- 5- Presence of complications of surgery.
- 6- Anesthetic management.
- 7- Quality of perioperative care.
- 8- Preoperative treatment of painful stimuli .
43Preemptive Analgesia
- Antinociceptive treatment of that prevents the
establishment of altered central prossesing,
which amplifies postop. Pain. - Windupfunctional changes in the dorsal horn
because of pain . - This type of therapy ,in addition to reducing
acute pain ,attenuates chronic postop. Pain.
44Principles of Pain Management
- Anticipate pain
- Recognize patient
- Ask the patient
- Look for signs (HR, BP, facial grimacing, tears,
sweating, etc) - Find the source
- Quantify pain (mild, moderate, severe)
- Treat
- Quantify the patients perception of pain
- Correct the cause where possible
- Give appropriate analgesics regularly as
required - Remember most sedative agents do not provide
analgesia - Reassess
45Modalities of Pain Relief
- Non-opioid analgesicsopioid analgesics
- Regular injections of opioids
- Continuous IV or SC infusion of opioids
- Patient controlled analgesia (PCA)
- Extradural opioids or local anesthetics
- Combined exrtadural spinal analgesia
- Long acting oral opioids
- Long acting regional blocks
- Ketamine (S)
46Modalities of Pain Relief
- Pharmacological
- Non-pharmacological
47DRUGS
- NSAIDs
- COX-1 Minor Moderate pain
- COX-2 rofecoxib, parecoxib-inj Severe pain
- Actions
- Inhibit synthesis of PG-E
- Direct analgesic effect on higher centers
- Modify nociceptive responses-bradykinins
- Antiplatelet
- Hypothrombinaemia
- Lowers body temp
- Hypoglycemia
- Metabolic acidosis
- Adverse gastrointestinal effects
-
Lower doses only
48Systemic Opioids
- Analgesic effects of opioids via receptors in
the CNS. - Roots of administeration I.M. ,I.V. ,Transdermal
,Oral ,Topical ,I.V. regional ,Perineural ,etc. - I.M. root is the most treatment choice after
surgery. - The As Needed part of the order is often
interpreted to mean As little as possible . - No relation exists between Gender and opioid
requirement.
49Analgesic Opiates
- Morphine
- Pethidine
- Fentanyl
- Sufentanil
- Alfentanil
- Remifentani
- ANTIDOTE Naloxone
50Routes of administration of analgesics
- Oral Intravenous
- Sublingual/buccal Epidural (opioid)
- Oral transmucosal Intrathecal (opiod)
- Intranasal Intra articular (opioid)
- Transdermal Topical - EMLA cream
- Rectal Intradermal
- Inhalational Peripheral N block
- Subcutaneous Nerve plexus block
- Intramuscular Intravenous regional
51Modalities of Pain Relief
- Non-pharmacological
- Transcut. Electrostimulation
- Cryoanalgesia(obselete)
- Acupuncture
- Hypnosis
52New Modalities Of Systemic Drug Administration
- The goals of new methods are
- 1. Precise,controlled delivery of the prescribed
dose - 2. A rapid onset of action
- 3. Avoidance of first-pass hepatic metabolism
- 4. Maintenance of a steady-state concentration of
drug - 5. An improved side-effect profile and
- 6. Improved patient compliance
-
53Transdermal Route Advantages
- Decreased first-pass hepatic metabolism
- Decreased gastrointestinal degradation
- Stable plasma concentrations,and
- Improved patient compliance
54Treatment methods
- 1-Systemic opiods.
- 2-Patient-controlled analgesia.
- 3-Regional anesthetic techniques .

- 4-intraarticular analgesia.
- 5-Nonopioid analgesics.
- 6-Cryoanalgesia.
- 7-T.E.N.S.
- 8-Psychologic and other methods.
55Patient-Controlled Analgesia
- PCA was originally developed to minimize the
effects of pharmacokinetic and - Pharmacodynamic variability among patients.
- A negative feedback loop exists experiencing
paingtgtgtMedication demandedgtgtgtReducing pain gtgtgtNo
further demand . - If Nurses, Relatives,or Parents assume
responsibility for drug administration,or if
using this device by the patient is for reasons
other than pain relief ,this loop fails.
56- Cases of respiratory depression during PCA use
have been reported. - Causes advanced age, hypovolemia, large doses,
use of background continuous-infusion mode. - No difference in respiratory mechanics between
PCA and IM opioids (FEV1,FRC,PFR)is seen.
57Side effects of PCA
- Nausea ,Vomiting ,Itching.
- Treated by changing opioid or using drugs that
provide symptomatic relief. - A pre printed set of standard orders can
facilitate a uniform standard of care.
58Regional Anesthetic Techniques
- Advantages
- Positive respiratory, cardiovascular and
neuroendocrine effects reduced thromboembolic
complications and blood loss and reduced
convalescence
59IDEAL COMPONENTS

64LOCAL ANESTHETICS
- Local anesthetics are the drugs, which reversibly
block the generation, propagation and
oscillations of electrical impulses in the
excitable tissues.
65MECHENISM OF ACTION
- Block nerve fiber conduction by acting directly
on nerve membranes to inhibit sodium ion from
crossing the membrane - Nerves cannot depolarize
- Conduction of impulses is blocked
66Mechanism of Action
- Decrease or prevent transient increase in the
permeability of excitable membranes to Na ions - Direct interaction with voltage gated Na
- channels
- Increase in threshold
- Decrease in the rate of rise of A.P.
- Slows down the conduction
67Mechanism of Action
- Site of action - Inside the membrane
- Binding sites within the Na channel
- Heterotrimeric complexes of glycosylated
proteins ( 300 k Da) - 3 sub units- a, b1 b 2
- a has I- IV homologous domains
- Each domain has 6 transmembrane domains
- Bind with S6 transmembrane domain.
68CONTRAINDICATIONS
- RELATIVE
- Patient Appropriateness
- Local Infection near injection site
- Hypovolemia
- CNS Disease
- Chronic Back Pain or Prior Lami
- Prior SAB with difficulty
69Nerve Fiber and Local Anesthetic Setup
- Sequence of clinical anesthesia
- Sympathetic block (vasodilate skin T0)
- Loss of pain and temperature sensation
- Loss of proprioception
- Loss of touch and pressure sensation
- Loss of motor function
70- Interscalene brachial plexus blocks analgesia
for 12-24 hrs. - Sciatic and Femoral n. blocks similar results.
- Intercostal n. blocks 6-12 hrs. analgesia.
- Administration of long acting L.A.s from a
catheter into pleural cavity unilat. Analgesia
with little or no sensory block. - L.A. infusion into Axillary sheath, Femoral
sheath, and the vicinity of the Sciatic
n.analgesia and particularly useful to
facilitate perfusion after extensive
revascularization.
Interscalene
71L.A. boluses or infusions
- Advantages over parenteral opioids
- Early ambulation, improve bowel function, higher
arterial O2 tension, fewer pulmonary
complications. - For optimal results, the catheter tip should be
near the segments innervating the insicision.

76SPINAL ANESTHESIA
77Intraspinal analgesia
- With
- Opioids
- Opioid-L.A. mixture
- Ketamine
- Clonidine
- Neostigmine
78Opioids
- Initial reports in 1979.
- Single injection of intrathecal Morphin provides
about 24 hrs. analgesia. - Epidural root uses more, because
- Popularity of technique during surgery, ability
to leave catheter in place, familiarity with
technique, no risk of PDPH.
79- Elderly patients require remarkably small doses
of epidural morphine. - Fentanyl is useful when rapid onset of epidural
analgesia is important. - Epidural meperidine is widely used in some parts
of the world and as with other opioids,
respiratory depression can occure.
80Respiratory depression
- early
- In the first two hrs.
- Is the result of vascular uptake and
redistribution.
- Delayed
- Between 6 and 12 hrs.
- Consequent of rostral spread of opioid in CSF to
respiratory center in the floor of 4th. Ventricle.
81- Pruritus is a common side effect and is seen more
in obstetrics patients. - Face is a common site of itching.
- Although it is not due to histamine release,
antihistamines provide symptom relief. - Nalbuphine is also of value.
- Naloxone is consistently effective (repeated
doses or infusion).
82- Urinary retention is higher in volunteers than in
patients and in men than in women. - Naloxone prevents or reverses it but may require
doses that antagonizes analgesia. - Most patients are able to void spontaneously when
the catheters are removed.
83- Nausea and vomiting due to rostral spread of
opioid in CSF to the vomiting center and the CTZ
. - Treatment
- first line antiemetics (may produce unwanted
sedation and resp. depression ) , Scopolamine
patches. - Second line I.V. droperidol, Ondansetrone.
84- Sedation produced by intraspinal opioids may be
the result of spread of the drug in CSF to
receptors in the thalamus, limbic system or
cortex and hypercarbia can augment it. - Epidural buprenorphine 0.15 mg. produces
prolonged depression of the CO2 response that
lasts 8-12 hrs.
85Ketamine
- Produces analgesia via interaction with
cholinergic, adrenergic, and serotonergic
systems. - Side effects sedation, blurred vision,
tachycardia, hypertension, and hallucinations. - In some studies on baboons neurotoxic changes.
- The routine use of intrathecal ketamine in humans
is not recommended.
86Clonidine
- If administered by the oral route can augment
spinally mediated opioid analgesia. - Epidural or intrathecal clonidine can provide
effective analgesia alone. - Intrathecal clonidine does not provide surgical
anesthesia.
87Intra-Articular analgesia
- Following arthroscopic surgery, a combination of
systemic Ketorolac and intra-articular
bupivacaine decreased analgesic requirement and
pain.
88Nitrous oxide
- Useful, especially for painful experiences of
short duration (dressing changes, debridements). - Rapid onset of analgesia and rapid recovery.
- In concentrations of 30-50 is as potent as 10
mg. I.M. morphine. - Anesthesia may occurgtgtgtrisk of aspiration.
89- Long term administration causes bone marrow
suppression and leukopenia (reversible when
detected early). - Entonox50mixture of N2O with oxygen.
90Cryoanalgesia
- Temp.s between -5 and -20causes disintegration
of axons and breakdown of myelin sheaths while
the perinurium and epinurium remain intact. - Is used most common for thoracotomy pain and
hernia repair pain. - Residual neuropathic pain has been seen following
cryoanalgesia.
91Transcutaneous electrical nerve
stimulation(T.E.N.S.)
- Uses both for chronic pain and acute
perioperative pain. - Advantages absence of opioids side effects
(resp. depression, sedation, nausea and vomiting,
urinary retention) - It is simple, noninvasive and free of toxicity.
92- The mechanism of analgesia by TENS is not known
and it may be by - Modulation of nociceptive impulses in the spinal
cord (gate control theory). - Activation of inhibitory area in the brain stem.
- Stimulation of the release of endorphins, or a
combination of these mechanisms. - A placebo effect may play a role.
93Psychologic and other methods
- After surgery patients may suffer discomfort
due to headache, NG tubes, drains, IV catheters,
or anxiety, fear, and insomnia. - Therapy of these problems may result in reporting
of less pain. - Preoperative discussion, reassurance and
provision information results in less anxiety,
less opioid use and shorter hospital stay.
94- Relaxation tapes prior to surgery results in less
analgesic use and a smoother recovery.
95Perioperative analgesia in special populations.
96Pediatric patients
- Misconceptions about pain in children are common
(e.g. children dont feel pain, or if it is felt
it is not remembered. - Pain causes suffering and psychologic
abnormalities in children of all age. - Special scales are available for young children
(self reporting of pain). - In preverbal children, the interpretation of
behavior must be used to estimate intensity of
pain.
97- Because of fear of IM injections alternatives
are sublingual, rectal and transdermal routs. - I.V. PCA is effective in children.
- Caudal opioid analgesia can be used in children.
- Regional techniques dorsal nerve block of the
penis, or lidocaine jelly, or EMLA creams for
circumcision, ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric
nerve blocks for pains after orchiopexy and
herniorrhaphy, etc.
98- NSAID,s are considered as adjuncts rather than as
primary agents.
99Elderly patients
- The average age of surgical patients will
increase in the future. - Older patients have more complex cases than
younger. - PCA PCEA is ineffective in some elderly
patients because of their reluctance.
100- Treatment of perioperative pain in elderly
remains inadequate because - Fear of complications associated with treatment
of pain. - Pain is reported less in elderly.
101- NSAID,s may have benefits in elderly because
- Different site of action that may be more
effective. - Opioid sparing.
- An additional anti-inflammatory effect.
- But they have increased risk of side effects
because of decreased renal clearancegtgtgtthey doses
must be decreased.
102Advantages of regional anesthesia
- Minimizing physiologic trespass.
- Pharmacologic simplicity.
- Reduced blood loss.
- Fewer thromboembolic complications.
- Reduced stress response.
- Less confusion.
- Less postoperative pain.
103Patients with chronic pain and /or chronic opioid
use
104- General principles
- 1-expect high self-reported pain scores.
- 2-base treatment decision on objective pain
assessment (deep breathing, coughing, etc.). - 3-recognize and treat nonnociceptive sources of
suffering. - Continue opioids for as long as is appropriate
for acute pain.
105Addiction
- A chronic disorder characterized by compulsive
use of a substance resulting in physical,
psychologic, or social harm to the user and
continued use despite that harm.
106Clinical triad suggestive of addiction
- 1-high self-reported pain scores.
- 2-high opioid use compared with other patients
having similar procedures. - 3-a relative absence of opioid-induced side
effects.
107- PCA is not good for providing basal opioid
replacement. - PCA is good for extra opioids needed for
postoperative pain.
108ROLE OF THE ANESTHESIOLOGIST IN PERIOPERATIVE
PAIN MANAGEMENT
109- Anesthesiologists are a logical choice to provide
periop. Pain relief, because they are - 1-familiar with the pharmacology of analgesics
and L.A.s. - 2-aware of short- and long-term effects of drugs
given intraoperatively. - 3-knowledgeable about pain pathways and their
interruption. - 4-are skilled in techniques available to provide
superior pain control.
