PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: The purpose of this study was to assess the patient experience of trapeziectomy under WALANT for trapeziometacarpal joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis (OA) in a prospective study with 2-year follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 23 patients with TMJ OA undergoing trapeziectomy with WALANT. All patients were seen by a hand therapist preoperatively and at 3, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. At each visit, VAS pain scores, thumb range of motion, grip strength, and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score were assessed. The Picker Patient Experience (PPE-15) questionnaire was administered within 2 weeks of surgery. RESULTS: All 23 patients completed the PPE-15 questionnaire. Their mean age was 64 years. The 21 patients who remained at the 24-month follow-up all said they would choose the same anaesthesia method again. At this follow-up, VAS pain scores, thumb range of motion, key pinch grip and DASH scores had improved significantly, while thumb opposition and hand grip strength remained largely unchanged. The majority of patients felt well informed before and during the procedure, and all patients rated pain relief as good or satisfactory. Nearly 40% of patients reported receiving inadequate information about the postoperative medications. DISCUSSION: Patients have a positive attitude to trapeziectomy with WALANT, and seem to prefer WALANT over other methods of anaesthesia. Trapeziectomy with WALANT for TMJ OA is a safe procedure and appears to give a functional outcome similar to trapeziectomy under general anaesthesia. CONCLUSIONS: Trapeziectomy with WALANT for TMJ OA is safe, preferred by patients and has similar clinical outcome as trapeziectomy in general anesthesia. KEY WORDS: trapeziectomy, osteoarthritis, WALANT.

BACKGROUND: Orofacial clefts are the most common congenital abnormalities. Cleft lip reconstruction is performed mostly in 3 months of life including the neonatal period. The consumption of opioids during anesthesia is one of the monitored parameters of anesthesia safety. We investigated the effect of using an infraorbital nerve block for reducing opioid consumption during cleft lip surgery in neonates. PATIENTS/METHODS: Overall, 100 patients who underwent primary cleft lip surgery in neonatal age between 2018 and 2021 were included in the study. The primary outcome was to compare opioid requirements during cleft lip surgery with and without using regional anesthesia. Secondary outcomes included a first oral intake from surgery between neonates with and without regional anesthesia and complications rate of infraorbital nerve block. RESULTS: Data from 100 patients (46 patients with and 64 without regional anesthesia) were retrospectively analyzed and classified into two groups according to whether regional anesthesia during neonatal cleft lip surgery had been performed or not. The use of infraorbital block was found to be positively correlated with lower doses of opioids used during the general anesthesia for the surgery (mean 0.48 μg/kg vs 0.29 μg/kg, p < 0.05). The postoperative course was evaluated based on the interval from surgery to first oral intake which was statistically insignificant shorter (p = 0.16) in the group of patients using regional anesthesia. No complications were recorded in the group of patients with regional anesthesia. CONCLUSIONS: Regional anesthesia is associated with reduced opioid consumption during anesthesia thereby increasing the safety of anesthesia in neonates.

BACKGROUND: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are life-threatening conditions and can be refractory to conventional drug and device interventions. Stellate ganglion blockade (SGB) has been described as an adjunct, temporizing intervention in patients with refractory ventricular arrhythmia. We examined the association of SGB with VT/VF in a multicenter registry. OBJECTIVES: This study examined the efficacy of SGB for treatment/temporization of refractory VT/VF. METHODS: The authors present the first analysis from a multicenter registry of patients treated for refractory ventricular arrhythmia at a clinical site in the Czech Republic and the United States. Data were collected between 2016 and 2022. SGB was performed at the bedside by anesthesiologists and/or cardiologists. Outcomes of interest were VT/VF burden and defibrillations at 24 hours before and after SGB. RESULTS: In total, there were 117 patients with refractory ventricular arrhythmias treated with SGB at Duke (n = 49) and the Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine (n = 68). The majority of patients were male (94.0%), were White (87.2%), and had an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (70.1%). The most common etiology of heart disease was ischemic cardiomyopathy (52.1%), and monomorphic VT was the most common morphology (70.1%). Within 24 hours before SGB (0-24 hours), the median episodes of VT/VF were 7.5 (Q1-Q3: 3.0-27.0), and 24 hours after SGB, the median decreased to 1.0 (Q1-Q3: 0.0-4.5; P < 0.001). At 24 hours before SGB, the median defibrillation events were 2.0 (Q1-Q3: 0.0-8.0), and 24 hours after SGB, the median decreased to 0.0 (Q1-Q3: 0.0-1.0; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In the largest cohort of patients with treatment-refractory ventricular arrhythmia, we demonstrate that SGB use was associated with a reduction in the ventricular arrhythmia burden and need for defibrillation therapy.

Cieľ štúdie: Zistiť výhody supraklavikulárnej blokády brachiálneho plexu pri vytváraní artériovenóznych fistúl pre hemodialyzačnú liečbu, porovnanie periférnej nervovej blokády, celkovej anestézie a lokálnej infiltračnej anestézie pri tvorbe artériovenóznych fistúl. Typ štúdie: Prospektívna nerandomizovaná štúdia. Schválená etickou komisiou JLF UK v Martine. Typ pracoviska: Klinické pracovisko univerzitnej nemocnice. Materiál a metóda: Súbor pacientov, ktorým bola vytvorená artériovenózna fistula, bol rozdelený do 3 skupín. Skupina 20 pacientov bola operovaná v periférnej nervovej blokáde, skupina 20 pacientov bola operovaná v lokálnej infiltračnej anestézii a skupina 5 pacientov bola operovaná v celkovej anestézii. Hlavným sledovaným parametrom bola zachovaná funkcia fistuly 24 hodín a 6 týždňov po operácii. Inklúzne kritériá pacientov boli: vek 19–75 rokov, ASA 3–4, hmotnosť 40–120 kg, BMI do 40. Použili sa štatistické metódy: Mannov-Whitneyov U test a exaktný obojstranný test, Shapirov-Wilkov test, Fisherov obojstranný exaktný test, párový Wilcoxonov exaktný obojstranný test. Výsledky: Po 24 hodinách boli funkčné všetky fistuly vytvorené v periférnej nervovej blokáde, 90 % v lokálnej infiltračnej anestézii a 80 % v celkovej anestézii. Nepreukázala sa štatisticky významná závislosť medzi funkčnosťou fistuly a niektorým typom anestézie. Po 6 týždňoch bolo funkčných 80 % fistúl vytvorených v celkovej anestézii alebo periférnej nervovej blokáde a iba 50 % fistúl v lokálnej infiltračnej anestézii. Štatisticky významný rozdiel bol zistený medzi skupinou pacientov operovaných v periférnej nervovej blokáde a lokálnej infiltračnej anestézii, a to v prospech periférnej nervovej blokády (p < 0,05). Záver: Periférna nervová blokáda sa v našej štúdii spájala s lepším prežívaním fistuly oproti lokálnej infiltračnej anestézii. Pri celkovej anestézii bolo prežívanie fistuly porovnateľné ako pri periférnej nervovej blokáde, bola však spojená s vyšším výskytom komplikácií.
Objective: To determine the advantages of supraclavicular blockade of the brachial plexus in the formation of arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis treatment. Comparison of peripheral nerve block, general and local infiltration anesthesia in the formation of fistulas. Design: Prospective non-randomized study. Approved by the ethics committee of JLF UK in Martin. Setting: University hospital. Material and methods: Three groups of patients who were created arteriovenous fistula. A group of 20 patients were operated under peripheral nerve block anesthesia, 20 patients were operated under local infiltration anesthesia and 5 patients were operated under general anesthesia. The main monitored parameter was the preserved function of the fistula 24 hours and 6 weeks after the operation. Inclusion criteria: age 19–75 years, ASA 3–4, weight 40–120 kg, BMI up to 40. Statistical methods: Mann-Whitney U test and exact two-tailed test, Shapiro-Wilk test, Fisher's two-tailed exact test, paired Wilcoxon's exact two-tailed test. Results: After 24 hours, all fistulas created under peripheral nerve block anesthesia were functional, 90 % under local infiltration anesthesia and 80 % under general anesthesia. There was no statistically significant dependence between the functionality of the fistula and any type of anesthesia. After 6 weeks, 80 % of fistulas created under general or peripheral nerve block anesthesia and only 50 % of fistulas under local infiltration anesthesia were functional. For peripheral nerve block anesthesia and local infiltration anesthesia, a statistically significant difference was found in favor of peripheral nerve block anesthesia (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Peripheral nerve block anesthesia was associated with better fistula survival compared to local infiltration anesthesia in our study. General anesthesia had fistula survival comparable to peripheral nerve block anesthesia, but was associated with a higher incidence of complications.
