Conclusions: Gabapentin appears safe and well tolerated when used for persistent post-operative and post-traumatic pain in thoracic surgery patients, although minor side effects do occur. Gabapentin may relieve refractory chest wall pain in some of these patients, particularly those with more severe pain. Gabapentin appears safe and well tolerated when used for persistent post-operative and post-traumatic pain in thoracic surgery patients, although minor side effects do occur. Gabapentin may relieve refractory chest wall pain in some of these patients, particularly those with more severe pain. The emphasis of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs on opioid-sparing multimodal pain regimens, therefore, has attracted much interest from the thoracic community. 4, 5, 6 Gabapentinoids (gabapentin and pregabalin) widely have been considered one of the main opioid-sparing medications in most multimodal ERAS protocols despite no Gabapentin is a novel drug used for the treatment of postoperative pain with antihyperalgesic properties and a unique mechanism of action, which differentiates it from other commonly used drugs. Various studies have shown that perioperative use of gabapentin reduces postoperative pain. The analgesic role of gabapentinoids following thoracic surgeries is not clear. In this study, we evaluated the benefits of gabapentinoids for pain management in patients undergoing thoracic onco-surgery in terms of opioids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) sparing effect. A best evidence topic in cardiothoracic surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether gabapentin, a commonly prescribed neuropathic analgesic and anticonvulsant, is safe and beneficial in patients with post-thoracotomy pain following thoracic surgery. Sev Gabapentin (NeurontinTM) has gained significant interest as part of a multi-modal pain management strategy for the control of acute pain. There has been considerable variation in both the dose and the regimen used in recent clinical trials. The use of gabapentin for post-operative and post-traumatic pain in thoracic surgery patients Eur J Cardio Thorac Surg , 29 ( 2006 ) , pp. 795 - 799 , 10.1016/j.ejcts.2006.02.020 View in Scopus Google Scholar One prospective study of out-patients with chronic pain (>4 weeks since thoracotomy performed) suggested that gabapentin is effective, safe and well tolerated when used for persistent To evaluate the effect of perioperative gabapentin treatment for the prevention of persistent post-thoracotomy pain and to establish whether gabapentin has a significant therapeutic impact on acute postoperative pain. In the present preplanned subgroup analyses and post hoc analyses, we aimed to compare the procedure-specific effects of peri-operative gabapentin on postoperative opioid consumption, pain intensity, and adverse- and serious adverse events in six different surgical procedures. Patients undergoing thoracotomy benefit from epidural analgesia but still may experience significant postoperative pain. We examined the effect of preoperative gabapentin in thoracotomy patients. Perioperative gabapentinoid administration in elective thoracic surgery may be associated with a higher risk of PPCs and no opioid-sparing effect. Furthermore, in respiratory surgery, video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), a less invasive procedure, has been adopted, and local nerve blocks that cause few side effects are widely used for perioperative pain control. It is debatable whether EPI will be the best option in the future. A total of 70,336 patients undergoing elective open thoracotomy, video-assisted thoracic surgery, and robotic-assisted thoracic surgery. Interventions Propensity score analyses were used to assess the association between gabapentinoids on day of surgery and the primary composite outcome of PPCs, defined as respiratory failure, pneumonia Haywood N, Nickel I, Zhang A, et al.

The systematic review of two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) demonstrated that the use of a single dose gabapentin does not reduce pain scores or the need for epidural or morphine immediately in hospital following thoracic surgery. hi hope you are feeling better I had thoracic surgery in November 2008 to remove a tumour benign behind my left lung I still have chronic pain and have not been able to work since my husband is know my carer I’m on gabapentin tramadol and lots more my dr at the pain clinic has stopped seeing me as he said lots of people live with chronic pain We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. A multidisciplinary team of thoracic surgeons, anesthesiologists, pain management specialists, and nursing staff created a protocol for thoracic ERAS based on the infrastructure provided by our existing ERAS colorectal and gynecologic surgery programs . The thoracic ERAS program was launched March 8, 2016.
