Continuous Wound Infiltration with Local Anesthetic Is an Effective and Safe Postoperative Analgesic Strategy: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Postoperative pain management is an essential module for perioperative care, especially for enhanced recovery after surgery programs. Continuous wound infiltration (CWI) with local anesthetic may be a promising postoperative analgesic strategy. However, its analgesic efficacy and safety remain debatable.

Methods

Embase and PubMed databases were systematically searched for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). RCTs assessing the analgesic efficacy and safety of CWI with local anesthetic for postoperative analgesia were selected. The outcomes contained pain scores during rest and mobilization, total opioid consumption, time to the first request of rescue analgesia, length of hospital stay, satisfaction with analgesia, time to return of bowel function, post
