Laparoscopic Hysterectomy, Postoperative Analgesia
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of ibuprofen and paracetamol administered for pre-emptive analgesia to patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy on pain scores during the first 24 hours postoperatively, the amount of opioids consumed postoperatively, and adverse effects such as postoperative nausea and vomiting.
Detailed description
Patients who undergo laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery are administered certain treatment methods for postoperative analgesia. These applications are a routine part of the procedure. They are medically and ethically necessary. Postoperative analgesia applications are initiated during the intraoperative process and continued during the postoperative process. The analgesia protocol to be used is determined by the patient's characteristics and the anaesthetist's experience. Multimodal analgesia protocols are scientifically accepted methods. Preemptive analgesia, a method used for pain control that reduces the severity of pain caused by analgesics, delays the initial need for analgesia, and reduces the need for painkillers, is one of these protocols. This method, applied before surgical incision or tissue damage, covers a wide range, from first-line analgesics such as paracetamol and ibuprofen to opioids and peripheral and central blocks. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of ibuprofen and paracetamol administered for preemptive analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy on pain scores in the first 24 hours postoperatively, the amount of opioids consumed postoperatively, and adverse effects such as postoperative nausea and vomiting.

* Emergency surgery * Patients who require conversion to abdominal hysterectomy during the intraoperative period * Those with severe liver or kidney failure, a history of long-term nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and opioid analgesic use * Those with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding, peptic ulcer or inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes or other neuropathic diseases * Patients unable to use patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) devices
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Postoperative analgesia | from the end of surgery up to 24 hours postopeartively | Postoperative analgesia was assessed by measuring postoperative pain intensity using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and by recording cumulative opioid or rescue analgesic consumption. The Visual Analog Scale ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Lower pain scores and reduced analgesic requirements were considered indicators of better postoperative analgesia. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| İntraoperative analgesia | During surgery (from skin incision until the end of surgery) | Intraoperative analgesia was assessed by evaluating hemodynamic responses to surgical stimuli, including changes in heart rate and mean arterial pressure, as well as the requirement for additional intraoperative analgesic agents. Stable hemodynamic parameters and a reduced need for supplemental analgesia were considered indicators of adequate intraoperative analgesia.stimuli, including changes in heart rate and mean arterial pressure, as well as the requirement for additional intraoperative analgesic agents. Stable hemodynamic parameters and reduced need for supplemental analgesia were considered indicators of adequate intraoperative analgesia. |
| Intraoperative hemodynamic instability | During surgery (from induction of anesthesia until the end of surgery) | Intraoperative hemodynamic instability was assessed by continuous monitoring of heart rate and mean arterial pressure throughout the surgical procedure. Hemodynamic instability was defined as the occurrence of hypotension, hypertension, bradycardia, or tachycardia based on deviations from baseline values. |
