As Do Side Effects
•
Vila et al (2005) reported a more than two-fold increase in
the incidence of opioid related adverse events involving oversedation
•
•
11->24.5/100,000 patients (p < 0.001)
94% had a documented decrease in level of consciousness
preceding the event

Cost of Adverse Events
•
In addition to potential mortality risk, opioid-related adverse
events have been associated with an increase in cost and
length of stay (Oderda, 2007)

Pathogenesis of Tumor
Metastases
Immune Response to Tumor
Cells
• Natural Killer Cells
• Spontaneously recognize and
lyse tumor cells
• Activated by IL-2 and IFN-y
• Patients with low levels of NK
cells have increased risk for
recurrence
• Stress-induced attenuation NK
activity in rat model is
associated with breast tumor
growth and metastasis
• Cytotoxic T-cells
• Dendritic Cells
*Dranoff (2004)
Surgery—A Critical Time
• Surgery is the mainstay treatment for primary tumors
• Can offer best prognosis for patients with solid tumors
• Likely a critical period when metastases are either established
or eradicated
• Can result in minimal residual disease—microscopic deposits
at margins or micrometastases
• Fate of these neoplastic cells likely dependent on the
competence of the host immune response perioperatively
• Studies show the presence of neoplastic cells in circulation 24
hr following tumor resection assoc with increased recurrence
Effect of Surgery on Immune
Function and Metastasis
• Perioperative immunosuppression as a result of the
neuroendocrine stress response and cytokine inflammatory
response
• Disrupting endothelial barriers during surgery releases tumor
cells into circulation—supported by PCR
• Release of growth factors—PGE2, VEGF, TGF-b
• And pro-inflammatory cytokines—IL-1, TNF-a, PGE2
• Decreased levels of anti-angiogenic compounds—endostatin,
angiostatin

LYTIC UNITS
• Pain is a potent stimulant of
the HPA axis and
sympathetic nervous
system, which can lead to
immunosuppression
• Acute pain suppresses NK
cell activity and promotes
tumor development in
animals
• Analgesia has been shown
to attenuate this effect

Opioids and Immune Function
NK Cell Activity In Rats With Various Opioids
NK Cell Activity In Humans
*Beilin 1989
*Beilin 1996
• Both cellular and humoral immunity are suppressed by
perioperative and chronic opioid use
• NK cell activity is reduced by opioids
• Whether this indirectly promotes cancer recurrence and
metastasis is unknown
Opioids—Direct Effect on
Cancer Progression?
Breast Tumor Volume In Mice

morphine (▵)
morphine + naloxone (□)
naloxone (▴)
*Gupta (2002)
*Lennon (2012)
• Breast cancer cells implanted in mice show increased
tumor volume and vascularization when treated with opioid
• Likely through direct stimulation Mu receptor or its
interaction with VEGF receptor
Role For μ-Opioid Receptor?
• NSCLC cells show 5x
increase in MOR expression
• Silencing MOR in animal
model causes reduced tumor
growth (35-50%) and
metastasis (45-70%)
• Similar results are obtained
with a naltrexone infusion
• Lung cancer cells injected into
MOR knockout mice show no
tumor development
• Same cells injected into
controls developed lethal
tumors in 12 days
*Mathew (2011)
MOR With A118G Polymorphism
Survival Probability in Carriers of A118G
• Most common
polymorphism in MOR
• Results in decreased
responsiveness
• 5% African-American
women
• 24% Caucausian
*Borstov (2012)
*Zylla (2013)
15% survival in high MOR
group vs 70% in low MOR
• MOR expression and
long-term requirement
independently
associated with inferior
survival
• For every unit MOR +
area, risk of cancer
progression incr 65%
and death 55%
• For every 5 mg/d MEQ,
risk of progression incr
8% and death 5%
Future Prospective Studies
*Heaney (2012)
“Whenever possible, anesthesiologists should use
multimodal pain management therapy. Central regional
blockade with local anesthetics should be considered.”
Regional
Anesthesia/Analgesia
• Increased patient satisfaction
• Improved analgesia
• Decreased postoperative opioid use
Transversus Abdominal Plane
(TAP) Blocks
External
oblique
Internal
oblique
Transversus
abdominis
Quadratus
lumborum
• First described by Rafi et al
(2001)
• Provides analgesia to the
abdominal wall
• Blocks anterior divisions of lower
thoracic, subcostal and first
lumbar nerves between IO and
TA muscles
• Efficacy established by RCT
• Dye studies show reliable
spread T10-L1 (iliac crest to
costal margin)
TAP Blocks For Donor

TAP Technique
Paravertebral Blocks
• First described in 1905 by
Sellheim, a German physician
• Fell out of practice until 1979
• Efficacy supported by multiple
RCTs
• Complications are reportedly
low with most feared being
pleural puncture and
pneumothorax (0.5%)
• Cochrane Review 2013: may
prevent persistent postsurgical
pain after breast surgery in 1 out
of every 4-5 patients

Ultrasound Technique
*Narouze (2010)
Ultrasound Technique
*Narouze (2010)
Thoracic Epidural Analgesia
*Manion (2012)
• Analgesia: lower pain
scores than with systemic
opioids
• CV: reduced risk of MI and
dysrhythmias
• GI: earlier return of bowel
function
• Pulm: reduced risk of
pulmonary complications,
reduced mechanical
ventilation
• Endo: decreased postop
protein catabolism and
hyperglycemia
Thoracic Epidural Analgesia
*Manion (2012)
• Excellent for larger incisions
• Benefit less well established
for minimally invasive
procedures
• Higher systemic side effect
profile than TAP or
paravertebral blocks
• Can be associated with
hypotension, N/V, urinary
retention, numbness,
weakness
• Require personnel to
manage on floor
Opioid-Sparing Medications
Gabapentinoids
General:
• Decrease pain scores and opioid use
• Likely effective at reducing chronic postsurgical pain
• Side effects include sedation, dizziness, visual disturbances
Mechanism:
• Structural analogs of GABA but do not bind to its receptor
• Bind to voltage-gated calcium channels, modulating the release of
excitatory neurotransmitters
Pharmocodynamics:
• Gabapentin absorption is limited to a small portion of the duodenum
while pregabalin is absorbed throughout the small intestine
• Gabapentin absorption can be significantly impaired by antacids
• Both are renally excreted without significant metabolism
Gabapentinoids—What Dose
and When?
Timing of Dosing
• Studies indicate that postop dosing
is just as effective as preop
• Peak plasma level in 1-2hr but peak
CSF level in 6-8 hr
• So, preop dosing may have to occur
earlier for max benefit
Dose
• Studies looking low (300-600 mg) vs
high (900-1200 mg) doses of
gabapentin favor higher dosing
• The same is true for pregabalin
• Continuing medication thru recovery
probably most effective
*Schmidt (2013)
COX Inhibitors
COX Inhibitors
COX Inhibitors
Nonspecific NSAIDs (COX 1
and 2 activity)
• Ketorolac, Ibuprofen
• Use limited perioperatively
due to platelet dysfunction,
GI and renal toxicity
Coxibs (COX 2)
• Celebrex
• Potential cardiac/renal
toxicity
• Reduced GI side effects, no
platelet inhibition
Both
• May lead to dose-dependent increase of cardiovascular
toxicity and impaired osteogenesis
• 15-55% reduction in perioperative opioid use (Elia 2005)
COX Inhibitors and Cancer
• COX-2 inhibitors:
•
•
•
•
Induce apoptosis
Decrease levels of angiogenic factors
Decrease microvascular density in animal models
Attenuate opioid-induced immunosuppression
• COX-2 inhibitiondecreased PGE2direct impact on cancer
cell mutation, proliferation, and survival
• Overexpression of COX-2 is associated with increased cancer
recurrence and is a poor prognostic indicator
• Farooqui et al—mouse model showed chronic morphine use
increases COX-2 expression in tumor cells, and can impair
analgesia while promoting tumor angiogenesis
Tylenol—Now Available By IV
• Effective, well tolerated
• Caution with severe hepatic
impairment
• Safe with renal dysfunction
• Max 3g/day
• 1g IV acetaminophen
reduced morphine use after
orthopedic surgery
approximately 30%
(Sinatra, 2005)
Liposomal Bupivacaine
• Exparel – bupivacaine loaded
in multivesicular liposomes
• FDA approved for local
infiltration
– Hemorrhoidectomy
– Bunionectomy
• No delay in wound healing
after orthopedic surgery
• Acceptable adverse effect
profile
*Chahar (2012)
• Attempted dose response
study for 14 volunteers
having femoral n block
• Tested quad strength and
tolerance to electrical
current
• Found dose response in
opposite direction—higher
the dose, lower the effect
Other Adjuvants
Alpha-2 Agonists
• Clonidine, dexmedetomidine
• Can provide sedation,
hypnosis, anxiolysis,
sympatholysis and analgesia
• Antinociceptive effect due to
action on alpha-2 receptors
in brain and spinal cord
• Can cause profound
hypotension, bradycardia
• Meta-analysis shows 2025% reduction morphine at
12-24 hrs postop
(Blaudszun, 2012)
NMDA R Antagonists
• Ketamine
• At subanesthetic doses (0.5
mg/kg) may exert NMDA
blockade modulating central
sensitization and OIH
• Hallucinations, bad dreams,
dizziness, blurred vision
• Inhibits NK cell activity in
animal models
