Effect of regional anesthesia on the postoperative delirium: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
OBJECTIVE: Postoperative delirium (POD) starts in the recovery room and occurs up to 5 days after surgery. However, the POD guidelines issued by the European Society of Anesthesiology (ESA) suggest that the effect of regional anesthesia on POD is controversial. This meta-analysis aims to investigate...

Sumario: | OBJECTIVE: Postoperative delirium (POD) starts in the recovery room and occurs up to 5 days after surgery. However, the POD guidelines issued by the European Society of Anesthesiology (ESA) suggest that the effect of regional anesthesia on POD is controversial. This meta-analysis aims to investigate whether perioperative regional anesthesia reduced the incidence of POD. METHODS: Standard Published randomized controlled trails (RCTs) were searched from bibliographic databases to identify all evidence that reported regional anesthesia assessing incident delirium following diverse surgeries. The primary outcome was the incidence of POD, and the secondary outcomes were POD scores, pain scores, and emergence time. The relative risk (RR) for dichotomous outcomes and the weighted or standardized mean difference (WMD, SMD) for continuous outcomes were estimated using a random-effects model. RESULTS: Twenty RCTs with 2110 randomized participants undergoing different surgeries were included. Meta-analysis showed that regional anesthesia was associated with less POD incidence compared to general anesthesia (total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) or inhalation anesthesia) (relative risk (RR) = 0.62, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.45–0.85)). Subgroup analysis showed that the decrease in POD incidence was associated with a nerve block (0.46, 95% CI = 0.32–0.67) and regional-combined-general anesthesia (0.42, 95% CI = 0.29–0.60). Regional anesthesia significantly reduced POD incidence in the recovery room after pediatric surgeries (0.41, 95% CI = 0.29–0.56). Regional anesthesia also reduced the POD score (SMD −0.93, 95% CI = −1.55 to −0.31) and pain score (SMD −0.95, 95% CI = −1.72 to −0.81). There was no significant difference in emergence time between regional anesthesia and general anesthesia (WMD −1.40, 95% CI = −3.83 to 6.63). CONCLUSIONS: There was a significant correlation between regional anesthesia and the decrease in POD incidence, POD score, and pain score. |
