Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A comparative study of respiratory effects of erector spinae plane block versus paravertebral plane block for women undergoing modified radical mastectomy.
Inadequate acute postoperative pain control after modified radical mastectomy (MRM) can compromise pulmonary function. This work aimed to assess the postoperative pulmonary effects of a single-shot thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in female patients undergoing MRM. ⋯ NCT03614091 registration date on 13/7/2018.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Efficacy of azasetron on postoperative chronic pain after pulmonary surgery: a randomized triple-blind controlled trial.
Inhibition of 5-HT3 (5-Hydroxyl Tryptamine) receptors is known to enhance morphine analgesia in animal models. We tested the efficacy of azasetron, a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, on postoperative chronic pain after pulmonary surgery in a randomized triple-blind controlled study. ⋯ The trial was registered prior to patient enrollment at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200060139), 20/05/2022; the site url is https://www.chictr.org.cn/ .

One-year opioid consumption trajectories among individuals receiving multidisciplinary postsurgical care: a single-center observational study from the Toronto General Hospital Transitional Pain Service.
The Transitional Pain Service (TPS) is an innovative, personalized approach to postsurgical opioid consumption and pain management. The objectives of this study were to identify trajectories of opioid consumption and pain intensity within 12 months after initiating treatment through the TPS, identify biopsychosocial factors associated with trajectory membership, and examine the relationship between trajectory membership and other outcomes of interest over the same 12-month period. ⋯ Results suggest that opioid consumption and pain intensity trajectories mostly decrease after surgery in a high-risk population enrolled in a TPS. Results also show heterogeneity in postsurgical recovery and highlight the importance of using personalized interventions to optimize individual trajectories.

Observational Study
Opioid free analgesia after return home in ambulatory colonic surgery patients: a single-center observational study.
Because of the adverse effects of morphine and its derivatives, non-opioid analgesia procedures are proposed after outpatient surgery. Without opioids, the ability to provide quality analgesia after the patient returns home may be questioned. We examined whether an opioid-free strategy could ensure satisfactory analgesia after ambulatory laparoscopic colectomy. ⋯ Non-opioid analgesia after ambulatory laparoscopic colectomy seems efficient to ensure adequate analgesia. This therapeutic strategy makes it possible to avoid the adverse effects of opioids.

Is the Compassion of Anesthesiologists Associated With Postoperative Pain and Patient Experience? A Prospective Cohort Study.
Patient perception of physician compassion may be associated with improved health outcomes, yet it is unclear whether it is associated with postoperative pain reduction or improved patient experience metrics in same-day surgery patients. We hypothesized that higher anesthesiologist compassion during the preanesthesia interview, rated by patients, is associated with lower postoperative pain via the anxiety pathway in same-day surgery patients. We also performed exploratory correlation analysis to assess whether compassion was associated with less opioid consumption and improved patient experience in same-day surgery patients. ⋯ The study results suggest that an anxiety-mediated pathway exists through which compassionate care may help improve the patient's perception of postoperative pain on the day of surgery (before discharge from the hospital). Higher compassion was also associated with better patient experience metrics.
