This study sought to investigate complication rates/perioperative metrics after endoscopic carpal tunnel release (eCTR) via wide-awake, local anesthesia, no tourniquet (WALANT) versus sedation or local anesthesia with a tourniquet.
Patients aged 18 years or older who underwent an eCTR between April 28, 2018, and December 31, 2019, by 1 of 2 fellowship-trained surgeons at our single institution were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into 3 groups: monitored anesthesia care with tourniquet (MT), local anesthesia with tourniquet (LT), and WALANT.
Inclusion criteria were met by 156 cases; 53 (34%) were performed under MT, 25 (16%) under LT, and 78 (50%) under WALANT. The MT group (46.1 ± 9.7) was statistically younger compared with LT (56.3 ± 14.1, = .007) and WALANT groups (53.5 ± 15.8, = .008), (2, 153) = 6.465, = .002. Wide-awake, local anesthesia, no tourniquet had decreased procedural times (10 minutes, SD: 2) compared with MT (11 minutes, SD: 2) and LT (11 minutes, SD: 2), (2, 153) = 5.732, = .004). Trends favored WALANT over MT and LT for average operating room time (20 minutes, SD: 3 vs 32 minutes, SD: 6 vs 23 minutes, SD: 3, respectively, (2, 153) = 101.1, < .001), postanesthesia care unit time (12 minutes, SD: 7 vs 1:12 minutes, SD: 26 vs 20 minutes, SD: 22, respectively, (2, 153) =171.1, < .001), and door-to-door time (1:37 minutes, SD: 21 vs 2:51 minutes, SD: 40 vs 1:46 minutes, SD: 33, respectively, (2, 153) = 109.3, < .001). There were no differences in complication rates.
Our data suggest favorable trends for patients undergoing eCTR via WALANT versus MT versus LT.
本研究旨在探讨在清醒、局部麻醉、无止血带(WALANT)与镇静或带止血带的局部麻醉下进行内镜腕管松解术(eCTR)后的并发症发生率/围手术期指标。
回顾性分析 2018 年 4 月 28 日至 2019 年 12 月 31 日期间,由本机构的 2 名 fellowship培训外科医生对 156 例年龄在 18 岁及以上的患者进行 eCTR 的病例。患者被分为 3 组:带止血带的监护麻醉(MT)、带止血带的局部麻醉(LT)和 WALANT。
符合纳入标准的有 156 例;其中 53 例(34%)为 MT 组,25 例(16%)为 LT 组,78 例(50%)为 WALANT 组。MT 组(46.1±9.7)的年龄明显小于 LT 组(56.3±14.1, =.007)和 WALANT 组(53.5±15.8, =.008),(2,153)=6.465, =.002。与 MT 组(11 分钟,SD:2)和 LT 组(11 分钟,SD:2)相比,WALANT 组的手术时间(10 分钟,SD:2)更短,(2,153)=5.732, =.004)。WALANT 组的平均手术时间(20 分钟,SD:3)、麻醉后护理室时间(12 分钟,SD:7)和门到门时间(1:37 分钟,SD:21)均优于 MT 组(32 分钟,SD:6)和 LT 组(23 分钟,SD:3)和 20 分钟,SD:22),(2,153)=101.1, <.001)、1:12 分钟,SD:26)和 1:46 分钟,SD:33),(2,153)=171.1, <.001)、1:37 分钟,SD:21)和 1:46 分钟,SD:33),(2,153)=171.1, <.001)。并发症发生率无差异。
我们的数据表明,与 MT 组和 LT 组相比,WALANT 组患者行 eCTR 的结果有较好的趋势。
