    Abstract Background: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a minimally invasive therapy that is increasingly used to treat refractory neuropathic pain. Although this technique has a low incidence of serious long-term adverse sequelae, the risk of complications such as inadvertent dural puncture remains.
    Objectives: The goal of this article was to determine the impact of the contralateral oblique (CLO) fluoroscopic view incidence of postdural puncture headache (PDPH) during spinal cord stimulator implantation as compared to lateral fluoroscopic view.
    Methods: This was a single academic institution retrospective analysis of electronic medical records spanning an approximate 20-year time period. Operative and postoperative notes were reviewed for details on dural puncture, including technique and spinal level of access, the development of a PDPH, and subsequent management.
    Results: Over nearly two decades, a total of 1637 leads inserted resulted in 5 PDPH that were refractory to conservative measures but responded to epidural blood patch without long-term complications. The incidence of PDPH per lead insertion utilizing loss of resistance and lateral fluoroscopic guidance was 0.8% (4/489). However, adoption of CLO guidance was associated with a lower rate of PDPH at 0.08% (1/1148), p < 0.02.
    Conclusions: The incorporation of the CLO view to guide epidural needle placement can decrease the odds of a PDPH during percutaneous SCS procedures. This study further provides real-world data supporting the potential enhanced accuracy of epidural needle placement in order to avoid unintentional puncture or trauma to deeper spinal anatomic structures.

    Abstract Background: High-frequency 10-kHz spinal cord stimulation (10-kHz SCS) has shown promise in multicenter prospective trials for the management of chronic back and leg pain. Traditional spinal cord stimulation (t-SCS) has a long history of effectiveness in chronic neuropathic syndromes but not uncommonly can fail to provide long-term relief, leaving a significant group of patients with unsatisfactory outcomes. There is mounting evidence that 10-kHz SCS may offer relief in this subset of patients.
    Methods: The purpose of this retrospective analysis was to report a single-institution long-term experience of 10-kHz SCS in patients who did not get adequate pain relief with prior t-SCS devices. A temporary trial of 10-kHz SCS was carried out for 7 days, and those experiencing an average of 50% reduction in pain intensity underwent implantation. Patients were classified as moderate responders if relief was 31% to 50% and excellent responders if pain relief exceeded 50%.
    Results: Thirty-one patients who had experienced failed t-SCS primarily from poor paresthesia coverage underwent a trial of 10-kHz SCS and 29 underwent implantation. Twenty-eight patients were available for analysis, with 57.1% experiencing 30% response and 46.4% experiencing excellent response at a median follow-up of 21.2 (±8.4) months.
    Conclusions: This small single-institution study suggests that a significant proportion of patients with previously failed t-SCS may achieve clinically meaningful and durable pain relief with 10-kHz SCS.

    Abstract: ... There was a moderate correlation between SF and PF ratios ( r s  = 0.68, p <  0.001) and strong ... correlation between OSI and OI ( r s  = 0.89, p <  0.001). We obtained SF ratios of 271, 235, and 200 ...

    Abstract Given the widespread availability of pulse oximetry and its potential to replace partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO 2 )-based indices of oxygenation, we aimed to study the correlation between pulse oximetry-based oxygen saturation (SpO 2 )- and PaO 2 -based indices of oxygenation namely, SpO 2 /FiO 2 (SF) ratio with PaO 2 /FiO 2 (PF) ratio and oxygen saturation index (OSI) with oxygenation index (OI) under varying physiological conditions, along with accuracy measures for SpO 2 -based indices. Inclusion criteria included children (1 month to 18 years) admitted to pediatric intensive care unit needing invasive ventilation for hypoxemic respiratory failure with SpO 2 ≥ 80% and having an indwelling arterial catheter. A total of 1,237 sets of simultaneous PaO 2, SpO 2 readings, and ventilator parameters were recorded. There was a moderate correlation between SF and PF ratios ( r s  = 0.68, p <  0.001) and strong correlation between OSI and OI ( r s  = 0.89, p <  0.001). We obtained SF ratios of 271, 235, and 200 corresponding to PF ratios of 300, 200, and 100, respectively. SF ratio showed a good discrimination ability to identify moderate (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUROC] = 0.901) and severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS; AUROC = 0.889) and fair discrimination ability for mild ARDS (AUROC = 0.770). OSI of 4.1, 6.4, and 11.1 corresponded to OI of 4, 8, and 16, respectively. OSI demonstrated an excellent discrimination ability for diagnosing mild (AUROC = 0.928), moderate (AUROC = 0.961), and severe ARDS (AUROC = 0.965). The correlation between SF/PF ratio and OSI/OI was the strongest in the lowest SpO 2 range studied. SpO 2 -based indices of oxygenation could replace PaO 2 -based indices with reasonable accuracy for patients with SpO 2 values ≥ 80%.

    Abstract Background: Gabapentin is one of the most common medications employed in Pain Medicine, specifically targeting the management of neuropathic pain. We are most familiar with the incremental dosing strategy where a ceiling dose is eventually attained guided by efficacy and patient tolerance, after which a fixed dosing regimen is prescribed. We propose that autonomous short-term dose variations per patient could have rapid clinically significant effects in the management of chronic pain.
    Objectives: This study examines the frequency at which patients take gabapentin on a fixed vs variable schedule and how the pattern of gabapentin use correlates with efficacy, side effects, and patient satisfaction.
    Study design: Single institution, cross-sectional observational survey study with data collection performed over 2 phases as a pilot for proof of concept.
    Setting: Remote contact via telephone with researchers calling from a quiet, private location within the hospital complex conducive for confidential conversation.
    Methods: Patients recently prescribed gabapentin were queried on the patterns of use and self-perceived efficacy, satisfaction, and side effects in accordance to a standardized oral script. Patients selected met the criteria of being new patients freshly prescribed gabapentin who have been consistently on the medication for at least a month, while having chronic pain symptoms for over 3 months. Responses were collected in the form of a 5-point Likert scale. Statistical analyses were performed using GraphPad Prism.
    Results: Of the 222 patients, 92 patients agreed to participate in the survey for a response rate of 41.4. Of these, 51% had terminated the medication for various reasons. Of the patients still taking gabapentin, 73% were on a fixed schedule, while 27% were on a variable dosing schedule. Variable dosing cohort reported better efficacy (P = 0.027) and satisfaction (P = 0.036), while the side-effect profile between the 2 groups was similar.
    Limitations: The study is limited by its nature of being a pilot, single-institution study performed on a relatively small sample size. None of the patients we surveyed had been given the autonomy to adjust gabapentin doses by their providers and this could significantly reduce the proportion of patients who would be encouraged to run a variable dosing regimen.
    Conclusions: This pilot study suggests that a significant portion of patients choose to administer variable doses of gabapentin and associate this with better efficacy and satisfaction. A larger study is needed to confirm this supposition. Based upon this pilot study, the variable dosing option may be an option for improved therapeutic efficacy or as an alternative to those whose lifestyles do not allow for fixed dosing regimens. Discussion of the risks of gabapentin, including respiratory depression, and clear dosage parameters of use, would need to be outlined when considering a variable dose regimen.
