Summary

Background : Epidural anaesthesia is associated in abdominal surgery with reduced pain and postoperative respiratory complications together with quicker recovery of bowel function. Currently, no studies have been able to prove its ability to reduce length of stay in intensive care and high-dependency units.

Purpose : The aim of this study is to demonstrate that epidural anaesthesia reduces length of stay in intensive care unit after abdominal surgery under laparotomy.

Conditions

  • Extended Ileal Resection Under Laparotomy
  • Total Proctocolectomy Under Laparotomy
  • Colectomy Left/Right/Total Under Laparotomy
  • Rectosigmoidal Resection Under Laparotomy
  • Anterior Resection of Rectum Under Laparotomy
  • Abdomino-perineal Amputation Under Laparotomy
