COMPARISON of the EFFECT of TWO DIFFERENT ANALGESIS TECHNIQUES in ABDOMINAL HYSTERECTOMY

Ataturk Training and Research Hospital80 enrolled

Overview

Hysterectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures after cesarean section in many countries worldwide, especially among women of reproductive age. Postoperative pain is typically managed with oral and parenteral narcotics. Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is an effective pain management method that provides advantages such as faster pain relief, better dosage control, and elimination of the need for timer adjustments. Facilitating the recovery process and optimizing postoperative pain management are crucial components of perioperative care. To minimize systemic opioid requirements and opioid-related side effects, multimodal analgesia combining local anesthesia, peripheral, and non-opioid analgesics has become increasingly popular.

Conditions

Abdominal Hysterectomy

Interventions

Prior to induction, the patient will be positioned seated, and morphine will be slowly injected intrathecally at a dose of 5 μg/kg, adjusted to the L4-L5 or L3-L4 intervertebral space using a 27G pencil point spinal needle. The injection will be administered over approximately 10 seconds

Time frame: postoperatively 24 hours

Secondary Outcomes

Postoperative Pain Scores at movement and rest

evaluation of pain scores during movement and rest within 24 hours postoperatively using Visual Analogue Scale

Time frame: postoperatively 24 hours

Quality of recovery 24 hours after the surgery assessed using QoR-40 questionnaire
