EFFICACY OF PATIENT-CONTROLLED EPIDURAL ANESTHESIA IN OPERATIVE GYNECOLOGY

Abstract

In the early postoperative period, one of the main causes of inadequate anesthesia is the routine use of opioid analgesics "for pain" or in the form of "planned" injections in standard doses, which, according to our data, are insufficient in 36-59% of patients (Lebedeva R.N., Nikoda V.V., 1998). The purpose of anesthesia is not only to eliminate suffering and create psychological comfort, but also to improve the quality of life of women operated on for gynecological operations, accelerate postoperative functional rehabilitation, and reduce the incidence of complications [4].
