Evidence Based Analgesia for lower limb arthroplasty EBPOM SATELITE MEETING 8 TH J U L Y 2 0 1 1 DR ROBERT STEPHENS DR SARAH BARNETT Whole talk at www.ucl.ac.uk/anaesthesia/people/stephens Or Google ucl anaesthesia stephens FACT 70% of patients report moderate to extreme post- operative pain PROSPECT – procedure specific postoperative pain management, evidence based, managed and developed by anaesthetists and surgeons www.postoppain.org How to think about this.. ‘Evidence based’ What do patients want? What do surgeons want? What do anaesthetists want? Levels of Evidence Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine: www.cebm.net From Owww.cebm.net A B C D Problems Small studies- poor power, less than ideal design Most studies 1 centre ie enthusiasts – not ‘real world’ Rubbish statistics eg ‘average pain score 2.2’ (1-5) Many older studies eg pre USS techniques Many studies use nerve catheters Recent trend to ‘enhanced’ recovery – different techniques ? Speed ‘important’ vs ‘experience’ Studies looking at only 1 thing eg pain Many anaesthetists rarely see postop consequences Local infiltration gives control to surgeons / interest Previously ‘our’ area What do patients want? Macario et al 2008 Patients consulting an orthopaedic surgeon about undergoing either total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) Rate the importance of different questions about their care. What do patients want? Macario et al 2008 Assembled questions patients might have about joint replacement surgery 29 considering undergoing THA and 19 patients considering TKR Completed written survey asking them to rate 30 different questions 5 point from 1 (least) to 5 (most important) (Likert scale) Patients' overall ranking (median scores) of the importance of addressing questions regarding joint replacement surgery n= 29 19 Hip Knee Will the surgery affect my abilities to care for myself? 5 5 Am I going to need physical therapy? 5 5 How mobile will I be after my surgery? 5 5 When will I be able to walk normally again? 5 5 What are my options if I decide not to receive surgery? 5 4 Will the surgery cause pain afterwards? 5 4 How long will I be in the hospital? 5 4 Is there anything I can do to eliminate pain after surgery?4 5 Will I receive medication to manage the pain? 4 4 Additional questions written in by the patients How will I be able to manage severe pain? Tell me about my prosthesis? What is the surgeon's medical background? Why should I have confidence in him? Tell me about the surgery procedure Am I seeing a film of the surgery? What are my post surgical physical therapy options? (home/outpatient) Whom do I ask about my medications for pain and inflammation? How many of these procedures has my surgeon done? What is the infection rate? How long is the entire recovery period? How much will the physical therapy after the surgery cost? Will this surgery lead to constipation? What is the average length of time I will need to recover my facilities? Are there any problems I may face in full recovery? What do surgeons want? Bio-psycho-social approach Maintain muscle power Minimise complications Active patient involvement - education Clinical pathways (Barbieri et al 2009) Enhanced recovery (Kehlet et al 2008) Avoid DVT Good physiotherapy What do anaesthetists want? Good quality analgesia for patients Regional techniques: Neuraxial block/Nerve block Maintain skills Provide good surgical field Optimise patient outcome What do anaesthetists want? Analgesia Spinal single/ catheter Epidural single/ catheter Lumbar plexus / Psoas single/ catheter Local infiltration single/ catheter Femoral; 3 in 1 single/ catheter Sciatic single/ catheter Systemic: Opioids / NSAID / Paracetamol Adjuncts Neuraxial blocks Low dose intrathecal opiods can provide prolonged analgesia after hip (Murphy et al. 2003) and knee (Bowrey et al. 2003) surgery. (Lesser effect for knee) Optimal dose for hip surgery 100 micrograms Morphine Up to 21 hr analgesia (Murphy et al. 2003) Side effects – PONV/Pruritus/rostral spread with higher doses Neuraxial block Maurer et al. 2003 Elective hip surgery Continous Spinal Anaesthesia better postoperative analgesia Less nausea and vomiting Compared with single shot spinal followed by patient- controlled intravenous analgesia with morphine Spinal fentanyl vs diamorphine No direct study Not mentioned in any systematic review Obstetric literature extrapolation in C-Section Fentanyl 20 vs diamorphine 250 2 x analgesia postop up to ~ 18 hours Cowan 2002, Lane 2005 Epidural vs Systemic: Cochrane review 2010 Choi at al revised 2010 ‘Epidural analgesia for pain relief following hip or knee replacement’ 58 found –only 13 studies used 4 hip/6 knee /3 both Outcomes Relevance?

LIA provide better analgesia vs femoral block after TKA LIA may be considered to be superior to femoral block since it is cheaper and easier to perform! Adjuncts Ketamine Gabapentanoids Ketamine Noncompetitive antagonist at NMDA receptors and others (Kors et al. 1998) Some suggestion a single intra-operative dose (0.15mg/kg) improves passive knee mobilisation after arthroscopic anterior ligament repair surgery (Menigaux et al. 2000) Improves functional outcome after day case knee arthroplasy (Menigaux et al. 2001) Ketamine: Adam et al. 2008 Low dose IV ketamine in combination with continuous femoral nerve block on postoperative pain and rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty. Ketamine: Adam et al. 2008 Continuous femoral nerve block 0.3 mL/kg of 0.75% ropivacaine before surgery continued in the surgical ward for 48 h with 0.2% ropivacaine at 0.1mL/kg/h Patients randomised to initial bolus of 0.5 mg/kg ketamine + continuous infusion of 3 μg/kg/min during surgery + 1.5 μg/kg/min for 48 h ketamine group vs equal volume of saline control group Ketamine: Adam et al. 2008 Ketamine group needed less morphine (45 mg versus 69 mg; P 0.02). reached 90° of active knee flexion more rapidly than those in the control group 7 [5–11] versus 12 [8 – 45] days, median [IQR]; P 0.03). Outcomes at 6 wk and 3 months were similar Adam et al. 2008 Ketamine is a useful analgesic adjuvant in perioperative multimodal analgesia Positive impact on early knee mobilization. No patient in either group reported sedation, hallucinations, nightmares, or diplopia No differences in PONV between the two groups Gabapentanoids Reduction of physiological sensitisation induced by nociception and inflammation ? Reduces nerve hyperexcitability Pregabalin structurally related to gabapentin but 6x more binding affinity (Dahl et al. 2010) Pregabalin Buvanendran 2010 Double blind RCT; n=240 300mg pre-surgery and 150mg BD post operatively for 14 days vs placebo Immediate postoperative period, epidural drug consumption reduced compared to placebo No difference in pain scores, but less oral opiods in pregabalin group Sedation and confusion more frequent in pregabalin group (Day 0 and 1) Less Chronic pain @ 3 + 6 months (0, 0 vs 8, 5%) Summary Analgesia Spinal single/ catheter (diamorph) Epidural single/ catheter yes Lumbar plexus / Psoas single/ catheter ? Local infiltration single/ catheter yes Femoral; 3 in 1 single/ catheter Single FNB Sciatic single/ catheter No Systemic: Opioids / NSAID / Paracetamol Adjuncts ?

Epub 2009 Nov 12 Glucocorticoids (Kardash et al. 2008) Preoperative glucocorticoids reduce postoperative nausea but may also improve analgesia and decrease opioid consumption Fifty consecutive patients undergoing elective 10 total hip arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia with propofol sedation randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled: either 40 mg dexamethasone or saline placebo IV before the start of surgery Kardash et al. 2008 IV PCA morphine, ibuprofen 400 mg po q6 h and acetaminophen 650 mg po q6 h were given for 48 h. Pain (0–10 numeric rating scale, NRS) at rest, side effects, and total cumulative patient-controlled analgesia morphine consumption were recorded q4 h for 48 h. Dynamic pain NRS score was recorded at 24 h. C-reactive protein levels were measured in a subgroup of 25 patients at 48 h. High dose steroids The intraoperative sedation requirement with propofol was significantly increased in the dexamethasone group (234.6 160.1 vs 138.8 122.7 mg, P 0.02). Dynamic pain was greatly reduced in the dexamethasone group (NRS score:2.7, 95% CI: 2.2– 3.1 vs 6.8, 6.4 –7.2; P 0.0001). There was no significant effect on pain at rest or cumulative morphine consumption at any time. C-reactive protein levels at 48 h were markedly reduced by dexamethasone (52.4 mg/mL, 28.2–76.6 vs 194.2, 168.9 –219.4; P 0.0001).
