Optimal Multimodal Analgesia in Abdominal Hysterectomy

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose The purpose of this study is to test the current standard of care (SOC) treatment for abdominal hysterectomy with a group receiving SOC minus epidural analgesia plus additional perioperative analgesics in terms of postoperative abilities, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), pain and discharge time from the PACU (post-anaesthesia care unit).

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to test the current standard of care (SOC) treatment for
abdominal hysterectomy with a group receiving SOC minus epidural analgesia plus additional
perioperative analgesics in terms of postoperative abilities, postoperative nausea and
vomiting (PONV), pain and discharge time from the PACU (post-anaesthesia care unit).
Detailed Description
Aim of the study: to compare postoperative complaints (PONV, pain, etc) and PACU discharge
time between two groups, for patients admitted for planned abdominal hysterectomy with or
without BSO:

- A: standard of care (SOC) receiving paracetamol, celecoxib, epidural analgesia,
dexamethasone, ondansetron and droperidol, and general anaesthesia with propofol,
remifentanil and cisatracurium

- B: SOC with sham epidural analgesia, preoperative gabapentin, intraoperative lidocaine,
s-ketamine and sufentanil
