Regional Postoperative Anesthesia, Which Is Common In Operating Blocks

Limiting the surgical stress response is considered one of the main goals of anesthesia and postoperative intensive care. The purpose of the study was to assess the severity of neuroendocrine, metabolic and inflammatory changes after abdominal surgery, depending on the type of anesthesia. In 260 patients, divided into groups depending on the type of anesthesia (total intravenous anesthesia alone, in combination with epidural or spinal anesthesia), the concentrations of cortisol, glucose, lactate, cytokines, as well as urinary nitrogen excretion and the intensity of postoperative pain syndrome were studied.
