Heamodynamic and Analgesic Effects of Intraoperative Lignocaine Infusion in Day Care Laparoscopic Surgery
One of the common ambulatory surgeries is
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Pain remains a
significant factor to delay postoperative recovery and
discharge from the day-surgery unit, leading to
unanticipated hospital admission1. Unfortunately, pain
is not treated in one-half of such surgical procedures2,3.
Opioids plays the vital role as mainstay for postoperative
pain management in this patient population. However,
opioids administration can exacerbate postoperative ileus
and further delay patient recovery. Multimodal approaches
and adjunctive therapies are thereby recommended for
pain control after abdominal surgery, in order to reduce
opioid consumption and opioid-related adverse effects.
