Epidural analgesia and gastrointestinal motility after open abdominal surgery-a review

Abstract: After major abdominal surgery, postoperative ileus is inevitable, and it has always been a challenge for the surgical team to shorten the duration of this period. Based on many clinical and basic reports that affirm the effect on the recovery of gastrointestinal motility, epidural analgesia has been used widely to promote recovery from postoperative ileus. Different techniques have been used to measure gastrointestinal motility in laboratory and clinical investigations. Many of the techniques used in clinical … Show more

“…The aetiology of the condition remains incompletely understood but, if uncomplicated, it is associated with restoration of stomach and small bowel motility within 24 h of surgery and recovery of colonic function over 48-72 h [15,16]. Prolonged post-operative ileus increases patient morbidity, prolongs in-patient stays, has substantial cost implications and is a major factor contributing to the discomfort associated with major abdominal surgery [17,18]. The use of thoracic epidural anaesthesia is associated with a decreased ileus rate when compared to systemic analgesia and this has been confirmed by numerous studies [19][20][21][22].…”

“…Epidurinis skausmo malšinimas yra veiksmingas analgezijos metodas atliekant daugelį chirurginių operacijų. Jis labiau sumažina skausmo intensyvumą, palyginti su kitais skausmo malšinimo metodais, tiek ramybėje, tiek judant po įvairių operacijų [2][3][4]. Epidurinis skausmo malšinimas sutrumpina hospitalizacijos laiką ir paankstina paciento stojimosi ir aktyvaus judėjimo laiką, palyginti su morfinu, leidžiamu į veną ar raumenis [5,6].…”

“…Atlikta daug tyrimų, nagrinėjančių epidurinės nejautros įtaką ne tik skausmo intensyvumui, bet ir ligonio sveikimui po operacijos. Dauguma jų įrodė, kad ligoniai, kuriems taikoma epidurinė nejautra, greičiau sveiksta po operacijos, trumpiau guli reanimacijos ir intensyviosios terapijos skyriuje ir stacionare [1][2][3][4]. Gaubtinės ir tiesiosios žarnos operacijos -tai dažnos pilvo ertmės chirurginės operacijos, todėl gera analgezija yra labai svarbi ligoniui, ypač sergančiam vėžiu.…”
