“… 18 In addition, development of multimodal pain managements, such as rectus sheath block and preoperative pain education, can contribute to the reduction in LOH. 19 20 In a recently conducted randomized clinical trial, it was demonstrated that enhanced recovery after surgery program can be applied in the field of laparoscopic appendectomy. In this program, patients advanced to their regular diet in 6 hours after surgery.…”

Background Advances in medicine and changes in the medical environment can affect the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The main purpose of the present study was to investigate whether the difference in accessibility to diagnosis and treatment facilities influenced the occurrence of appendectomy in Korea. Methods We collected data on 183,531 appendectomy patients between 2003 and 2017 using the National Health Insurance Services claims. Retrospective analysis of relationship between the age-standardized rate (ASR) of appendectomy and clinical variables affecting medical accessibility was performed. Pearson’s correlation analyses were used. Results The incidence of appendectomy decreased from 30,164 cases in 2003 to 7,355 cases in 2017. The rate of computerized tomography (CT) scans for diagnosis of appendicitis increased from 4.73% in 2003 to 86.96% in 2017. The ASR of appendectomy in uncomplicated and complicated appendicitis decreased from 48.71 in 2005 to 13.40 in 2010 and 8.37 in 2005 to 2.96 in 2009, respectively. The ASR of appendectomy was higher in the high-income group. The proportion and ASR of appendectomy in older age group increased steadily with years. The total admission days continued to decrease from 6.02 days in 2003 to 4.96 days in 2017. Conclusion The incidence of appendectomy was seemingly associated with the rate of CT scan. In particular, the incidence of appendectomy in uncomplicated appendicitis was markedly reduced. Through enhanced accessibility to CT scans, accurate diagnosis and treatment of appendicitis can be facilitated.

“…The possible pain intensity scores ranged from 0 to 10 (no pain to extreme pain and the worst pain). The reliability and validity of the VAS have been demonstrated for acute pain (Bijur et al, 2001) and implemented in appendectomy patients (Kim et al, 2021; Taheri et al, 2019). Heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood oxygen percentage were evaluated as physiological parameters using a portable fingertip pulse oximeter (LED CE 0413; OXIMETER).…”

Effect of Combining Dhikr and Prayer Therapy on Pain and Vital Signs in Appendectomy Patients: A Quasi-Experimental Study

et al. 2023

Purpose: Dhikr and prayer reduce pain and improve a patient's vital signs. However, the interactions among these require further clarification in patients undergoing appendectomy. This study aimed to assess the effects of the combination of dhikr and prayer on pain, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation. Study design: Quasi-experimental design. Method: Pain, pulse, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation were measured via clinical examination immediately after leaving the recovery room at 1 and 2 hr after surgery in both the experimental and control groups. In total, 88 eligible participants were allocated to two groups: participants who received both dhikr and prayer ( n = 44), and those who received routine care without analgesic therapy ( n = 44). The chi-square test, independent t test, and general equation model were employed. Results: Respondents showed a significant interaction between group and time to decrease in pain, pulse, respiratory rate, and improved oxygen saturation, except for pain within 1 hr. The differences in all outcome scores between the groups after 1 and 2 hr were statistically significant, except for oxygen saturation after 1 hr. Conclusion: The combination of dhikr and prayer effectively decreased pain and improved vital signs. This helped nurses implement this procedure by promoting an essential culture of spiritual care for appendectomy patients.

The sine qua non of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols designed to improve the perioperative experiences and outcomes of patients is to determine the most appropriate analgesia management. Although many regional techniques have been tried over the years in this purpose, interfacial plane blocks have become more popular with the introduction of ultrasound technology into daily practice and they have great potential to support effective postoperative pain management in many surgeries. The current article focuses on the benefits, techniques, indications, and complications of interfascial plane blocks applied in cardiac, abdominal, and spine surgeries.
