Intra-operative nociceptive responses and postoperative major complications after gastrointestinal surgery under general anaesthesia: A prospective cohort study.
European Journal of Anaesthesiology 2021 April 9
BACKGROUND: Surgical procedures stimulate nociception and induce physiological responses according to the balance between nociception and antinociception. The severity of surgical stimuli is associated with major postoperative complications. Although an intra-operative quantitative index representing surgical invasiveness would be useful for anaesthetic management to predict and prevent major complications, no such index is available.
OBJECTIVES: To identify associations between major complications after gastrointestinal surgery and intra-operative quantitative values from intra-operative nociception monitoring.
DESIGN: A multi-institutional observational study.
SETTING: Two university hospitals.
PATIENTS: Consecutive adult patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery under general anaesthesia.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Averaged values of nociceptive response index from start to end of surgery (mean NR index) and risk scores of the Surgical Mortality Probability Model (S-MPM) were calculated. Pre and postoperative serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were obtained. After receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, all patients were divided into groups with high and low mean nociceptive response index. Associations between mean nociceptive response index and postoperative major complications, defined as Clavien-Dindo grade at least IIIa, were examined using logistic regression analysis.
RESULTS: ROC curve analysis showed a nociceptive response index cut-off value for major complications of 0.83, and we divided patients into two groups with mean nociceptive response index less than 0.83 and at least 0.83. The incidence of major complications was significantly higher in patients with mean nociceptive response index at least 0.83 (23.1%; n = 346) than in patients with mean nociceptive response index less than 0.83 (7.7%; n = 443; P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed emergency surgery, S-MPM risk score, mean nociceptive response index and postoperative CRP levels as independent risk factors for major complications.
CONCLUSION: Mean nociceptive response index during surgery likely correlate with major complications after gastrointestinal surgery.
TRIAL REGISTRATION: The current observational study had no intervention, and was therefore, not registered.
