Anaesthesia for elective shoulder joint replacement</h2><div id="niceng157er6.s1.1"><h3>1.1. Review question: In adults having primary elective shoulder joint replacement, what is the most clinical and cost effective intraoperative anaesthetic approach?</h3></div><div id="niceng157er6.s1.2"><h3>1.2. Introduction</h3><p>Elective primary shoulder replacement surgery is most commonly performed under a general anaesthetic. In recent years pain control post-surgery for patients has changed greatly. Pain control is important to aid recovery and additional options are discussed with patients pre-operatively and choices made about supplementary pain blocking procedures and post-operative analgesia (pain killers).</p><p>In addition to general anaesthesia, anaesthetists as routine now offer supplementary local anaesthetic interventions. Firstly a nerve block is an injection of anaesthetic into the nerves that supply the shoulder joint. The second option is local anaesthetic infiltration where a large volume of anaesthetic is injected it into the tissues around the operation site.</p><p>It is considered that such adjunct pre-emptive analgesic methods allow shoulder replacement patients to wake up pain free and get up and out of bed almost immediately post-operatively which can aid earlier discharge from hospital and less peri-operative morbidity.</p><p>Regional anaesthesia via inter-scalene nerve blocks under ultrasound guidance is now common practice in orthopaedic shoulder units for patients undergoing such surgery if there is no contraindication. These can be utilised instead or on top of general anaesthesia and do not benefit from augmentation with other nerve blocks or local anaesthetic infiltration.</p><p>This review seeks to determine the most clinically effective and cost-effective approach to anaesthesia for total shoulder replacement surgery.</p></div><div id="niceng157er6.s1.3"><h3>1.3.

Health economic modelling</h4><p>A threshold analysis was conducted on the addition of nerve blocks to an anaesthetic regimen. This was conducted as the committee agreed that nerve blocks are likely to be a costly intervention. LIA, on the other hand, is a much cheaper intervention. No economic evidence was found for either intervention.</p><p>The method and results of the analysis can be found in <a href="#niceng157er6.appi">Appendix I: Nerve block threshold analysis</a>. The analysis uses estimates of incremental cost to find what QALY or utility gain is required at a given threshold of cost effectiveness. The threshold selected for this analysis was &#x000a3;20,000 in line with the NICE reference case. A range of incremental costs driven by the time required to administer the nerve block (30 minutes, 10 minutes and 5 minutes) and if the cost of theatre time was incorporated (yes or no) were included in the analysis. The rationale for having theatre time included as a cost variable is that the committee suggested that if 2 anaesthetists are available a nerve block can be administered in the anaesthesia room, not incurring additional theatre time costs. Therefore, for scenarios where theatre time was not included, 2 consultant anaesthetists were costed in. Whereas when theatre time was included, only one consultant anaesthetist was costed in. The results found that a nerve block is unlikely to be cost effective the longer it takes to administer, the shorter the effect duration, and if theatre time cost is included. However there are circumstances, such as when administration time is short, effect duration is long and theatre time is not included, when a nerve block could be cost effective. The different combinations of these factors are present across the NHS, so nerve blocks may be a viable cost-effective anaesthetic intervention for some hospitals but not for others.</p></div><div id="niceng157er6.s1.5.5"><h4>1.5.5.

Clinical evidence statements</h4><p>3 RCTs (n=282) comparing general anaesthesia with LIA to general anaesthesia with regional anaesthesia found a benefit for general anaesthesia with regional anaesthesia in postoperative pain and postoperative use of analgesia.

Health economic evidence statements</h4><p>One original threshold analysis for the addition of a nerve block to any anaesthetic regimen found that nerve blocks are unlikely to be cost effective if theatre time is included in the incremental cost or if administration time is longer. However, it is possible the addition of a nerve block is cost effective if administration time is short, the cost of theatre time is not included and if the duration of effect used in the analysis is longer. The cost of theatre time can be excluded when there are two anaesthetists present so that the nerve block can be administered in the anaesthesia room, therefore not taking up extra theatre time.</p></div></div><div id="niceng157er6.s1.7"><h3>1.7. The committee&#x02019;s discussion of the evidence</h3><div id="niceng157er6.s1.7.1"><h4>1.7.1. Interpreting the evidence</h4><div id="niceng157er6.s1.7.1.1"><h5>1.7.1.1. The outcomes that matter most</h5><p>The critical outcomes are mortality, quality of life, postoperative pain, postoperative neurocognitive decline, thromboembolic complications, hospital readmission, phrenic nerve injury, and brachial plexus injury. The time point for mortality, the most critical outcome, was specified to within 90 days because the committee were concerned that there are confounding factors that will not be adequately resolved over longer time periods. There are many factors outside of anaesthetic used during joint replacement surgery that contribute towards mortality and these expand as a person moves further on in their life. The committee were aware the trials would not be of an adequate size to equalise these factors between treatment groups. Postoperative pain is of critical importance as it represents a central aspect of a person&#x02019;s initial experience of the joint replacement surgery. In addition the committee agreed that there is an argument that acute pain is a predictor of chronic pain and therefore reducing postoperative pain may future chronic pain. There are adverse events that are key decision making outcomes for the people undergoing joint replacement surgery. These are thromboembolic complications, neurocognitive decline, phrenic nerve injury, and brachial plexus injury.</p><p>Important outcomes are postoperative use of analgesia, length of stay, nausea, and mobilisation within 24 hours after surgery. Postoperative use of analgesia is an indirect indicator of postoperative pain and as such is a useful measure for anaesthetic approach. Reduced length of stay is very important to those undergoing surgery and has economic implications. The anaesthetic approach may impact on when a person can mobilise after surgery. A person&#x02019;s ability mobilise shortly after surgery represents the early experience of joint replacement and also whether they can be discharged from hospital.</p></div><div id="niceng157er6.s1.7.1.2"><h5>1.7.1.2. The quality of the evidence</h5><p>In outcomes where it was possible to assess using GRADE methodology, all but 1 were deemed to be of very low quality. The 2 outcomes not graded were assessed to be at very high risk of bias. The outcomes from the 3 randomised controlled trials were at risk of bias often due to unclear allocation concealment and also due to lack of blinding for subjective outcomes. 2 RCTs did not state that general anaesthesia was used in the studies though this was stated to be the only possibility by a committee member. Both study outcomes were judged to be a higher risk of bias due to this omission. The non-randomised study outcomes were commonly downgraded due to lack of comparability of care between groups. Most outcomes across the evidence review were also downgraded for imprecision.</p></div><div id="niceng157er6.s1.7.1.3"><h5>1.7.1.3. Benefits and harms</h5><p>5 studies covering 3 comparisons were found for this evidence review. 3 randomised controlled trials evaluated general anaesthesia with LIA versus general anaesthesia with regional analgesia. A non-randomised study investigated regional anaesthesia versus general anaesthesia with or without regional blockade and a further non-randomised study looked at general anaesthesia with peripheral nerve block versus general anaesthesia.</p><p>General anaesthesia with LIA versus general anaesthesia with regional analgesia found a benefit for general anaesthesia with LIA in thromboembolic complications and phrenic nerve palsy. There was a benefit for general anaesthesia with regional analgesia in postoperative pain and median postoperative use of analgesia. No difference was seen in a further postoperative use of analgesia outcome and for 2 length of stay outcomes. The committee discussed the two outcomes favouring general anaesthesia with LIA, both were adverse events and involved low numbers of events. The thromboembolic complication outcome was 1 pulmonary embolism that occurred and thromboembolic complications are not overtly associated with regional anaesthesia. Therefore the committee concluded that this could well have been an event that happened by chance and may not have been associated with the anaesthesia treatment. However phrenic nerve palsy is a direct procedural complication associated with interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB) (regional anaesthesia) and there were 2 events across the 2 studies. The committee agreed to that it was reasonable to say these results are not simply down to chance and are a negative effect of regional anaesthesia that should be considered. The phrenic nerve is often blocked as a side effect of interscalene brachial plexus block, but the impact of this is likely to last less than 24 hours. Neuropraxia and permanent damage to the phrenic nerve are rare but can cause long-term effects on respiratory function.</p><p>The committee spoke about the mean pain outcome taken from 2 RCTs. Both studies indicated a benefit for general anaesthesia with regional analgesia in pain 8 hours after surgery. However both studies also indicated a reversal in this by 24 hours after surgery when general anaesthesia with LIA had less pain. 24 hours after surgery the analgesic effects of the general anaesthesia and the nerve blocks and the LIA would not be present. The committee conjectured that both forms of anaesthesia having worn off after 24 hours then the groups must have had differing analgesic routines. These may well have not been planned or stated differences but it could have been that due to the people in the LIA group having more pain in the early hours of recovery, they are topped up with analgesia more readily than those in the regional analgesia group. This increased pain may have led to the clinically insignificant increased length of stay in the regional analgesia group.</p><p>The regional anaesthesia versus general anaesthesia with or without regional blockade comparison was taken from observational data in a propensity score matched group of 1824 people. A benefit of regional anaesthesia was found for readmission and a benefit of general anaesthesia with or without regional blockade in terms of thromboembolic complications. The benefit in terms of readmission made sense to the committee because respiratory complications from general anaesthesia could drive readmission. No difference was found in length of stay or gastrointestinal complications. The use of regional anaesthesia when not combined with general anaesthesia was considered by the committee to be a possible predictor of the future of anaesthesia in shoulder replacement surgery. The movement towards day surgery for shoulder replacement means that anaesthetic strategies that allow for swifter discharge are of increased prominence. Regional anaesthesia when not combined with general anaesthesia can regularly lead to discharge on the same day supporting day surgery.</p><p>The final comparison was general anaesthesia with peripheral nerve block versus general anaesthesia in an observational cohort of over 17 thousand operations. Multivariate analysis was used to address issues of confounding. There was no difference between treatment arms for intensive care unit admission, pulmonary complications, or length of stay.</p><p>The committee spoke more generally about the practicalities of regional anaesthesia, ISBs can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 45 minutes to complete. The expectation of how long the block might take affects how surgery lists are put together and if it takes a long time to complete the block then surgeries might be delayed for a day and increasing the backlog. The committee agreed that this is dependent on how many anaesthetists are working in the operating room and how the surgery anaesthesia is organised.</p><p>Overall the committee did not feel the evidence or committee consensus supported recommending any specific anaesthetic approach. The benefits of general anaesthesia with LIA and regional anaesthesia with LIA were potentially offset by adverse events. However the committee recognised the importance of discussing different anaesthesia options with people having shoulder replacement surgery and recommended this.</p><p>In addition the committee did not feel the evidence as it currently stands adequately explores anaesthesia for shoulder joint replacement and made 2 research recommendations. Firstly the committee felt that the 3 RCTs investigating general anaesthesia with LIA versus general anaesthesia with regional analgesia were small and the outcomes were graded as very low quality. Therefore the committee has made a research recommendation to cover this important comparison with the additional important comparator, general with nerve block. Secondly the committee understands that regional anaesthesia alone allows for faster discharge and could allow for day case shoulder joint replacement. This may be the future of shoulder joint replacement and there is currently very little evidence using this intervention. The move towards this might allow for more day cases and research into this intervention could be prominent for the future shoulder replacement anaesthesia.</p></div></div><div id="niceng157er6.s1.7.2"><h4>1.7.2. Cost effectiveness and resource use</h4><p>No economic evidence was found for this population and as such, there was uncertainty about the cost effectiveness of the interventions. Unit costs for LIA and the addition of nerve block to an anaesthetic regimen were presented. The committee acknowledged that the presented unit costs for the addition of nerve blocks did not factor in any cost savings, However they were clearly a more expensive intervention than LIA.</p><p>Given the lack of evidence and uncertainty surrounding the augmentation of an anaesthetic regimen with nerve blocks, a threshold analysis was conducted. The analysis showed what gain in quality adjusted life years (QALY) and health related quality of life (HRQoL) is necessary for an anaesthetic regimen augmented with nerve block to be cost effective at a threshold of &#x000a3;20,000 per QALY. Three factors highlighted by the committee as variable across the NHS were explored in the analysis. These factors were the time it takes to administer the nerve block (5 minutes, 10 minutes and 30 minutes); the length of time that the nerve block has an effect for (24 hours, 3 days, 10 days and 30 days); and if the cost of theatre time should be included or not. The rationale for having theatre time included as a cost variable was that the committee suggested that if 2 anaesthetists are available a nerve block can be administered in the anaesthesia room, not incurring additional theatre time costs. Therefore, for scenarios where theatre time was not included, 2 consultant anaesthetists were costed in. Whereas when theatre time was included, only one consultant anaesthetist was costed in.</p><p>Outlined below is the QALY gain needed based on the time taken to administer the nerve block and whether or not theatre time was included:
<ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Administration time 30 minutes with theatre time: 0.034</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Administration time 10 minutes with theatre time: 0.012</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Administration time 5 minutes with theatre time: 0.006</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Administration time 30 minutes with no theatre time: 0.006</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Administration time 10 minutes with no theatre time: 0.002</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Administration time 5 minutes with no theatre time: 0.002</div></li></ul></p><p>The gain in HRQoL necessary at range of time horizons for all scenarios listed in the bullet points above was calculated (24 hours, 3 days, 10 days and 30 days). The results indicated that for a number of scenarios; particularly when the time to administer was 30 minutes, the intervention effect was 24 hours and when the cost of theatre time was included; the likelihood of nerve blocks being cost effective was impossible given that the gain in HRQoL needed was greater than 1 (given the assumed scale ranges from 0 to 1). When the assumptions were softened to their respective middle values, the gain in HRQoL was often not impossible (the gain needed was less than 1) but improbable. Finally, when time to administer was 5 minutes, the intervention effect was 30 days and when theatre time was excluded, the gain in HRQoL and therefore cost-effectiveness was more realistic.</p><p>The committee acknowledged that the time required for administration and the inclusion of the cost of theatre time was dependent on the experience of the anaesthetist and if two anaesthetists are available, respectively. All combinations of personnel numbers and time taken for administration can be found on the NHS at present. The length of time that nerve blocks have an effect could be argued to be anything between a matter of hours to a lifetime. The analgesic effect of a nerve block is variable but may be up to 18 hours on average for shoulder replacements. However, a 24 hour time horizon may be the most appropriate when considering acute post-operative outcomes (for example, pain, post-operative nausea and vomiting). A longer effect duration of 10 days to 30 days may be most appropriate to account for the possible effect of anaesthetic choice on adverse clinical outcomes (for example post-operative morbidity and mortality). Lastly, an even longer time horizon would be needed to account for long term outcomes (such as chronic pain, opioid dependence and range of motion).</p><p>There was discussion as to whether the addition of nerve blocks requires additional theatre time, and therefore the associated costs, specific to the procedure. This was dependent on the presence of a second anaesthetist. If 2 anaesthetists are present during surgery a nerve block can be administered in the anaesthesia room, therefore not incurring additional theatre time. This would represent additional staff costs.</p><p>A nerve block may take up to 5 minutes to administer for those who are familiar with the procedure. There may be further additional time required initially for those who are not familiar with using nerve blocks. Some members of the committee shared experience of nerve block administration time being as high as 45 minutes, although this would be a rarity. The efficacy of nerve blocks is also dependent how experienced the anaesthetist is. As a result analgesics are often used pre-emptively which allows the majority of people to leave at 24 hours. Analgesics are relatively low cost drugs.</p><p>In comparison, LIA can be administered by the surgeon and is likely to take around 5 minutes. This would represent a neutral cost, in terms of theatre time, if the nerve block performed by the anaesthetist takes an equivalent time and is performed during usable theatre time (for example, it is not performed before the list start time or during the previous operation by a second anaesthetist or a &#x0201c;block team"). More hospitals are developing block teams who administer the blocks in the anaesthetic rooms or elsewhere during the previous operations, thereby not impacting on usable theatre time. If the nerve block is performed during usable theatre time but takes consistently longer than the time taken for the surgeon to administer LIA, LIA could be cost saving as a result of reduced theatre time.</p><p>In addition to the uncertainty regarding costs, the committee also thought there was uncertainty in the clinical evidence for the shoulder replacement population. Given this the committee were unable to recommend specific options. A consensus recommendation was made to discuss all of the options with people having primary elective shoulder replacement. This recommendation is not expected to have a significant resource impact as it will not change current practice</p></div></div></div><div id="niceng157er6.rl.r1"><h2 id="_niceng157er6_rl_r1_">References</h2><dl class="temp-labeled-list"><dl class="bkr_refwrap"><dt>1.</dt><dd><div class="bk_ref" id="niceng157er6.ref1">Abildgaard

Method</h4><p>The analysis uses estimates of incremental cost to find what QALY or health related quality of life (HRQoL) gain is required at a given threshold of cost effectiveness. The threshold selected for this analysis was &#x000a3;20,000 in line with the NICE reference case. A range of incremental costs (see <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK561389/table/niceng157er6.appi.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figniceng157er6appitab1" rid-ob="figobniceng157er6appitab1">Table 14</a>) driven by the time required to administer the nerve block (30 minutes, 10 minutes and 5 minutes) and if the cost of theatre time was incorporated (yes or no) were included in the analysis. The rationale for having theatre time included as a cost variable was that the committee suggested that if 2 anaesthetists are available a nerve block can be administered in the anaesthesia room, not incurring additional theatre time costs. Therefore, for scenarios where theatre time was not included, 2 consultant anaesthetists were costed in. Whereas when theatre time was included, only one consultant anaesthetist was costed in. The time required to administer a nerve block reflected the experience of the staff member in giving it, a quicker time equates to a more experienced staff member. These factors were investigated in line with the committee&#x02019;s agreement that they were variable in current practice. Other resources used for nerve block administration were taken from CG124<a class="bibr" href="#niceng157er6.ref64" rid="niceng157er6.ref64"><sup>64</sup></a> and agreed by the committee.</p><p>The different incremental cost estimates were substituted into the equation for the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER).

</p><p>Following this an additional factor was analysed that was deemed variable by the committee; the time that nerve blocks have an effect upon people. The committee suggested that it could be argued the effect ranges from a matter of hours to a lifetime. The analgesic effect of a nerve block is variable but may be up to 18 hours for shoulder replacements. However, a 24 hour time horizon may be the most appropriate when considering acute post-operative outcomes (for example, pain, post-operative nausea and vomiting). A longer time horizon of 10 days to 30 days may be most appropriate to account for the possible effect of anaesthetic choice on adverse clinical outcomes (for example post-operative morbidity and mortality). Lastly, an even longer time horizon would be needed to account for long term outcomes (such as chronic pain, opioid dependence and range of motion). However, in line with the pain score outcome included in the protocol, the maximum effect horizon included in the analysis was 30 days. The different QALY gains calculated as outlined above were then substituted into the QALY equation with the different time horizons (24 hours, 3 days, 10 days and 30 days). The equation was then rearranged to find the gain in HRQoL gain needed to be cost effective at a threshold of &#x000a3;20,000 under each scenario.</p><div class="pmc_disp_formula whole_rhythm clearfix" id="niceng157er6.appi.deq3"><div class="inline_block pmc_inline_block pmc_va_middle pmc_hide_overflow twelve_col">

</p><p>If the requisite HRQoL gain was greater than 1, then it was deemed not possible for the addition of nerve blocks to be cost effective under that scenario. The assumed scale of health related quality of life was 0 to 1 where 1 is the maximum health related quality of life and 0 the least. This was chosen as the NICE Reference case states to use the EQ-5D instrument that also uses a 0 to 1 scale.

The implications of utilising regional anaesthesia alone is to facilitate day-case shoulder replacement surgery in the NHS.</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figniceng157er6appltab1"><a href="/books/NBK561389/table/niceng157er6.appl.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figniceng157er6appltab1" rid-ob="figobniceng157er6appltab1"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK561389/table/niceng157er6.appl.tab1/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK561389/table/niceng157er6.appl.tab1/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="niceng157er6.appl.tab1"><a href="/books/NBK561389/table/niceng157er6.appl.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobniceng157er6appltab1">Table</a></h4><p class="float-caption no_bottom_margin">Population: People undergoing primary shoulder replacement surgery Intervention(s):

<b>Where there is discretion</b></p>
<p>The health economist will make a decision based on the relative applicability and quality of the available evidence for that question, in discussion with the guideline committee if required. The ultimate aim is to include health economic studies that are helpful for decision-making in the context of the guideline and the current NHS setting. If several studies are considered of sufficiently high applicability and methodological quality that they could all be included, then the health economist, in discussion with the committee if required, may decide to include only the most applicable studies and to selectively exclude the remaining studies. All studies excluded on the basis of applicability or methodological limitations will be listed with explanation in the excluded health economic studies appendix below.</p>
<p>The health economist will be guided by the following hierarchies.</p>
<p><i>Setting:</i>
<ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>UK NHS (most applicable).</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>OECD countries with predominantly public health insurance systems (for example, France, Germany, Sweden).</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>OECD countries with predominantly private health insurance systems (for example, Switzerland).</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Studies set in non-OECD countries or in the USA will be excluded before being assessed for applicability and methodological limitations.</div></li></ul>
<i>Health economic study type:</i>
<ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Cost&#x02013;utility analysis (most applicable).</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Other type of full economic evaluation (cost&#x02013;benefit analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, cost&#x02013;consequences analysis).</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Comparative cost analysis.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Non-comparative cost analyses including cost-of-illness studies will be excluded before being assessed for applicability and methodological limitations.</div></li></ul>
<i>Year of analysis:</i>
<ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>The more recent the study, the more applicable it will be.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Studies published in 2003 or later but that depend on unit costs and resource data entirely or predominantly from before 2003 will be rated as &#x02018;Not applicable&#x02019;.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Studies published before 2003 will be excluded before being assessed for applicability and methodological limitations.</div></li></ul>
<i>Quality and relevance of effectiveness data used in the health economic analysis:</i>
<ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>The more closely the clinical effectiveness data used in the health economic analysis match with the outcomes of the studies included in the clinical review the more useful the analysis will be for decision-making in the guideline.</div></li></ul>
