Postoperative Pain Management in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: An Integrative Review.
Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing : Official Journal of the American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses 2023 November 22
PURPOSE: To identify pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions adopted for pain relief in the postoperative period of coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
DESIGN: Integrative review.
METHODS: Studies published in English, Spanish, and Portuguese from January 2010 to December 2019 in Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Science, PubMed, and Web of Science. Two hundred studies were identified and eleven were included. Methodological analysis was performed using the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument.
FINDINGS: The studies found were organized into three thematic categories: pharmacological interventions (methadone, morphine, lidocaine gel, remifentanil, sufentanil, and nefopam), nonpharmacological interventions (low-level laser therapy, light-emitting diode, Class IV laser, and transcutaneous nerve stimulation) and anesthetic techniques (dexmedetomidine, ultrasound-guided pectoral nerve block, high thoracic epidural analgesia, and perioperative parasternal block with levobupivacaine).
CONCLUSIONS: A greater tendency to use drug strategies for postoperative pain relief was identified. The drugs used demonstrated efficacy and safety in the treatment of pain, with the exception of nefopam, which showed little benefit in this population. Nonpharmacological interventions, used as adjuvants to drug treatment, were shown to be safe, effective, and well tolerated by the patients.
