About

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the relationship between postoperative pain and tourniquet-induced oxidative damage in adults undergoing orthopedic knee arthroscopy surgery.The goal of this observational study is to learn about the relationship between postoperative pain and tourniquet-induced oxidative damage in adults undergoing orthopedic knee arthroscopy surgery.

The main question it aims to answer is:

Does anesthetic agents used will affect tourniquet-related oxidative stress and postoperative pain ?

Full description

Approval was received from Duzce University Clinical Research Ethics Committee(Decision no: 2019/02). Düzce University Among the patients who applied to the Orthopaedics Clinic of Düzce University Medical Faculty, Research and Application Hospital's Orthopaedics Clinic, and planned a knee arthroscopy operation, 60 patients with ASA I-II status who accepted participation and signed the informed consent were included in the study after receiving general anaesthesia. 1 patient was excluded from the study in the analysis part. The results of a total of 59 patients were analysed.

Patients underwent routine anaesthetic examination during preoperative preparation. Informed consent was obtained from all patients. All patients were pressurised at a 90-degree angle to the knee with an algometer (J Tech Commender Echo Algometer, USA), and the average of three measurements was taken. The pressure was displayed in grams (gr) on the digital screen on the front of the devices. The first pressure value at which the patient felt pain was recorded in gr. Measurements were made at three levels (lower, middle, upper) 3-4 cm from the incision site. Measurements around the incision site

Patients were prepared for the operation according to the timing and conditions planned by the relevant clinic, and no preoperative or operative interventions were made regarding the method of operation or anesthesia. The oxidative load (HIF and DAF-16) [ Human hypoxia-inducible factor 1α(HIF-1α) ELISA kit (pg/L), Human decay-accelerating factor(DAF/CD55)ELISA (pg/L) ] was measured from the centrifuged blood. In routine practice for knee arthroscopy operation under general anesthesia; ECG, pulsoximetry (O2 level measurement with finger probe), blood pressure measurement with cuff, tissue oximetry (NIRS, tissue oxygenation evaluation with probe attached to the relevant skin surface - dorsum of the foot) , patient monitoring was provided and the operation was started by positioning the patients after general anesthesia induction. Blood samples were taken from the foot to be operated on before the tourniquet was inflated and opened. Oxidative stress parameters were analyzed. Within the scope of the study, blood pressure values were recorded in the preoperative period (T0), while the patients were lying flat on the back after general anesthesia (T1), 5 minutes after the tourniquet was placed on the leg to be operated and inflated (T2), 15 minutes later (T3), 30 minutes later (T4), 60 minutes later (T5), before the tourniquet was opened (T6), and after the tourniquet was opened (T7). Tourniquet application was performed as routine, 20 mmHg above the initial blood pressure value, and the tourniquet was lowered in 1 second at the end of the operation. After the tourniquet was removed, d slope time (desaturation descent time), RR time (resaturation ascent time), delta StO2 (difference in tissue oximetry values between before and after anesthesia), hyperemic peak value, hyperemic period time after ischemia were recorded on the tissue oximetry trend monitor (Figure 2). Tourniquet time, duration of operation, duration of anaesthesia, patient's age, weight, height, body mass index, total anaesthetic agent usage, total tramadol administered (24-hour patient-controlled analgesia), and anaesthetic agent doses were recorded. Blood pressure and tissue oximetry values were obtained. Routine awakening and analgesia protocols were applied to the patients. Postoperative pain scale (VAS), operated and non-operated knee algometer values were measured at 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours after awakening. Demographic outcomes, anaesthetic agent amounts, pain scores, HIF-1 alpha, and DAF measurements were analysed.
