[Does pre-emptive analgesia really pre-empt?].

Abstract

The paper discusses the theoretical background and practical rationale for a concept of pre-emptive analgesia. It gives the results of studying the efficacy of lornoxicam that outstrips the infliction of a surgical injury in different anesthesia modes (combined total and intravenous combined multicomponent anesthesia with epidural block). A hundred thirty-seven patients who had undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomies (Group 1) and expanded interventions for colorectal cancer (Group 2) were examined. The examination provided no evidence for the efficiency of pre-emptive analgesia with lornoxicam during perioperative anesthesia in patients undergone moderately and highly traumatic abdominal interventions.
