The Scope of the Problem
Post-Operative Pain
• Incidence 80%
• 25% of patients report sufficient post-op pain relief
• Moderate-Severe Pain
– 41% on DOS
– 15% on POD #4
Wu and Raja, Lancet 2011
Post-Op Pain Time Course

The Mission
• Pain
– Minimize post-operative pain and suffering
• Early return of function
– Ambulation
– Feeding
– Activities of daily living
• Treatment Course
– Reduce inpatient length of stay

Patient Controlled Analgesia (IV-PCA)
• Recent meta-analysis of 55 RCT’s
– Mixed surgical types

– nursing and pharmacist staff costs
– other adverse SE
– hospital LOS

Anticoagulation: ASRA Guidelines PLUS
• Placing Epidural
– INR < 1.4 and Platelets > 100K
– No VEGF inhibitors in last 3-4 weeks
• Removing Epidural
– INR < 1.7 and Platelets > 70K
– Check thrombo-elastogram (TEG)
– 2% patients require transfusion
Epidurals and Health Outcomes
• Analgesia
– Lower pain score vs systemic opioids
– Improved static and dynamic pain scores
• Gastrointestinal
– Decreased duration of post-operative ileus
• Pulmonary
– Decreased duration of mechanical ventilation
– Less atalectasis and hypoxemia
– Decreased overall post-op pulmonary complications
• Metabolic
– Attenuates post-op nitrogen excretion sparing muscle mass
• Cardiovascular
– May lower risk MI or dysrhythmias
• Mortality
– Small reduction at 30-days

“Splitting”
• Difficult clinical scenario
– Pain + Hypotension
– Patchy epidural
– Unilateral epidural
– Pain at non-surgical site
• Solution is “splitting”
– Local anesthetics alone in the epidural
– Provide systemic opioids through IV PCA or PO route
• Clinical rule: Do not mix neuraxial and systemic opioids
– Too difficult for patient
– Provider may forget about other source
Surgery Specific Duration of Catheter
• Thoracic Surgery
– After chest tube removed
– Pneumonectomy POD #5
– Esophagectomy POD #7
• Abdominal Surgery
– After tolerating full liquid diet OR tube feeds at 40 ml/hr
• Ortho
– When PT goals achieved
Epidural Misadventures
• No block
– Not in epidural space
– Migration
• Missing segments
– Unilateral block (catheter depth)
– Patchy block
• Wrong level
• Pain somewhere else
• Hypotension
– Fluid sparing anesthesia
• Motor block
• Sedation
• Dural puncture ~1%
• Post-Operative radicular pain 0.3%

Difficult Clinical Scenario #1
Obstructive Sleep Apnea • Higher risk of respiratory
complications post-op
• Strongly push for neuraxial or regional technique if applicable
• Utilize home CPAP/BiPAP immediately after extubation
• Maximize non-opioid medications
• Minimum effective opioid dose
• Vigilant post-op monitoring
Difficult Clinical Scenario #2
Opioid tolerant patient
• Often misunderstood by physicians
• Continue pre-operative opioid
• MORE opioid needed in the perioperative period
• Strongly push for neuraxial or regional technique if applicable
• Patient must have access to opioids to prevent perioperative withdrawal
• IV PCA to determine new opioid requirement
• Pain score will be higher than the average patient
• Remember careful titration
Difficult Clinical Scenario #3
The Unhappy Triad • Maximize non-opioid
medications
• Consider regional techniques
• Eliminate other sedating medications
– Benzodiazepines, anti-emetics, anti-histamines
• Ensure adequate fluid status
• Safety first
