Randomized Controlled Trial Observational StudyUse of cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with chronic postsurgical pain among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery: follow-up of a randomized, clinical trial.
Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) worsens patients' mortality, morbidity, and quality of life. Cardiopulmonary bypass is mandatory for cardiac surgery, but it induces intense inflammation. The presence of inflammation is a crucial part of pain sensitization. An extreme inflammatory response due to cardiopulmonary bypass might cause a high prevalence of CPSP after cardiac surgery. We hypothesized that the prevalence and severity of CPSP are higher in patients after on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery than in those after off-pump CABG surgery. ⋯ The prevalence and severity of CPSP are higher in patients with on-pump CABG surgery than in those with off-pump CABG surgery.

Randomized Controlled TrialComparison between pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block and supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) for total hip arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial.
To assess the efficacy of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block combined with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) block in controlling postoperative pain and promoting recovery of lower extremity after total hip arthroplasty (THA), and to compare its effectiveness with supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB). ⋯ PENG with LFCN blocks is more effective than S-FICB in shortening the time to first postoperative walk and preservation hip motion after THA, which makes it a suitable addition to enhanced recovery programs following surgery.
