Evaluation of analgesic effects and hemodynamic responses of epidural ropivacaine in laparoscopic abdominal surgeries: Randomised controlled trial.
Abstract
The role of epidural analgesia in laparoscopic surgeries remains controversial. We evaluated intraoperative analgesic effects of epidural ropivacaine versus intravenous fentanyl in laparoscopic abdominal surgery and assessed postoperative analgesic requirements, hemodynamic changes, time to ambulation, and length of stay (LOS) in the ICU.
