The aim of the study was to evaluate the nature of the development of the sensory block and the frequency of occurrence of critical incidents during anesthesia, in the immediate postoperative period using levobupivacaine and ropivacaine in patients with an oncogynecological profile. Materials and methods. The study included 48 women who were randomized into two groups of 24 patients each, depending on the anesthetic used: group 1 - ropivacaine, group 2 - levobupivacaine. The latent period of the sensory block, the motor block, the maximum level of development of the sensory block after 15 minutes, critical incidents at the stages of anesthesia, the level of the pain syndrome after extubation and coughing were analyzed in the groups. Results. The sensory response to the cold sample, after the administration of local anesthetics in the groups, differed: in the first group, 300 (241.25, 314.75) s, in the second group 54.5 (45.75, 60.25) s. The maximum level of the sensory block in the groups was different. During the induction and maintenance of anesthesia, the most common critical incident was hypotension. Reduction of systolic blood pressure for the induction of anesthesia in group 1 was detected in 6 (25%) cases, in group 2 in 7 (29%). After extubation, the pain syndrome in the first group was 1.7 (1; 6), in the second group 1.7 (1; 4). With a cough, the assessment of the pain syndrome had the same intensity of pain, both in the first and in the second group 2 (1; 3). Conclusions. Levobupivacaine with epidural anesthesia accelerates the development of the sensory block. The maximum level of the sensory block does not differ with the use of levobupivacaine and ropivacaine. Hypotension in the stages of anesthesia is a frequent critical incident in epidural anesthesia. The severity of the pain syndrome during extubation and in the immediate postoperative period does not depend on the selected anesthetic.

Objective - to estimate frequency of occurrence of critical incidents during epidural anesthesia in gynecological patients with different sensitivity of peripheral chemoreflex. Material and Methods: prospective observational blind study, 54 gynecological patients, elective surgery. The day before the surgery, the sensitivity of peripheral chemoreflex was determined by the duration of an arbitrary threshold apnea in a test with a delayed respiration. According to the duration of the test, the patients were divided into groups: high (group «1») and medium (group «2») sensitivity of peripheral chemoreflex. During the operation and in the early postoperative period, critical incidents were recorded. Results and Conclusion(s). During epidural anesthesia in gynecological patients from intraoperative critical incidents is revealed hypotension. The frequency of occurrence of hypotension was 32.1% in patients of group «1» and 15.4% in patients of group «2». High sensitivity of peripheral chemoreflex in patients during epidural anesthesia is a predictor of unstable hemodynamics, as well as the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

The purpose of the study was to conduct a comparative assessment of the course of the postoperative period after phlebectomy and thermal ablation in patients with varicose veins of the lower extremities in the system of the great saphenous vein (GSV) with class C2 of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) — CEAP class C2. Materials and methods: 455 patients (455 limbs) with CEAP class C2. Group 1 (n = 154) received stripping + minimally invasive phlebectomy; Group 2 — endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) of GSV trunk + sclerotherapy of varicose veins; 3 group (n = 150) — radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the GSV + sclerotherapy. All patients were united by a single tactical solution — the elimination of pathological vertical reflux in GSV. In each group, patients were with similar hemodynamic profile were selected (Group 1 = 63; Group 2 = 61; Group 3 = 61). The course of the postoperative period (from 2 days to 2 months) was compared for pain (visual analog scale — VAS), clinical symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency, degree of satisfaction (Darvall questionnaire), and duration of disability. Statistical processing was carried out using Excel programs for Windows XP, MedCalc® (version 11.4.2.0., Mariakerke, Belgium). Results: Postoperative pain is more pronounced (during day 1 for Group 1–4.0, Group 2–3.0, Group 3–2.0) and more prolonged (up to 4 days) after open surgeries (p < 0.05). The dynamics of the clinical symptoms of CVI (including varicose syndrome and use of compression therapy) could not be fully evaluated in connection with the ongoing sclerotherapy procedures for patients of Groups 2 and 3. Satisfaction of patients with aesthetic aspects was higher than expected in all groups. Reliable statistical differences proved decrease in days of disability (Group 1–14; Group 2–4; Group 3–3) and earlier return to physical activities and work in patients after thermal ablation in comparison with phlebectomy. Conclusion: The study shows that all three methods for eliminating vertical reflux in the GSV can be proposed for a large category of patients with CEAP of class C3 and C2. Medical and social rehabilitation of patients using endovascular thermal ablation technologies proceeds faster, which is beneficial both for the patients and for society.

Введение. Терапевтическое использование раствора человеческого альбумина у пациентов в периоперационном периоде трансплантации печени (ТП) представляет интерес в контексте осложнений и исходов операции. Цель исследования: оценить влияние интраоперационной трансфузии 25% раствора человеческого альбумина на течение раннего послеоперационного периода при ортотопической ТП от посмертного донора. Материалы и методы. В исследование включены 47 пациентов, которым была выполнена трупная ТП. Были сформированы 2 группы: пациенты группы 1 (n = 21) получали трансфузию 25% раствора человеческого альбумина в конце операции ТП и через 24 ч после операции; пациенты группы 2 (n = 26) получали трансфузию 25% раствора человеческого альбумина в первые сутки послеоперационного периода. Осуществляли контроль лабораторных параметров крови пациента перед началом оперативного вмешательства, через 24 ч и через 48 ч после операции. Интраоперационно оценивали значения систолического (САД) и диастолического (ДАД) артериального давления, частоту сердечных сокращений (ЧСС), дозу вазопрессоров, объем инфузионно-трансфузионной терапии, кровопотерю и диурез. В послеоперационном периоде фиксировали возможные осложнения, проведенные сеансы заместительной почечной терапии (ЗПТ), а также количество дней в стационаре. Результаты. Оценка значений САД, ДАД и ЧСС в начале и конце операции показала достоверно лучшие показатели гемодинамики и снижение дозировок вазопрессорной поддержки в конце вмешательства в группе 1 по сравнению с группой 2 (p < 0,05). В послеоперационном периоде инфекционные осложнения зарегистрированы у одного пациента группы 1 и у трех пациентов группы 2. Проведение ЗПТ потребовалось двум пациентам из группы 2. Все пациенты обеих групп были выписаны из стационара, при этом число дней госпитализации в группе 2 было статистически значимо больше по сравнению с пациентами группы 1: 26,9 ± 3,9 против 17,2 ± 4,3 (p < 0,05). Заключение. Интраоперационная инфузия 25% раствора альбумина позволяет стабилизировать показатели гемодинамики в конце операции ТП, снизить потребность в кардиотонической поддержке и сократить время госпитализации у пациентов после ТП. Background. The therapeutic use of human albumin solution in patients in the perioperative period of liver transplantation (LT) is of interest in the context of complications and outcomes of surgery. Objectives: to assess the effect of intraoperative transfusion of 25% human albumin solution on the early postoperative period in orthotopic LT from a postmortem donor. Patients/Methods. The study included 47 patients who underwent cadaveric LT. Two groups were formed: patients in group 1 (n = 21) received transfusion of 25% human albumin solution at the end of LT and 24 hours after surgery; patients in group 2 (n = 26) received transfusion of 25% human albumin solution on the first day of the postoperative period. The laboratory parameters of the patient’s blood were monitored before surgery, 24 hours later, and 48 hours after surgery. Intraoperatively, the values of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, heart rate (HR), dose of vasopressors, volume of infusion- transfusion therapy, blood loss and diuresis were assessed. In the postoperative period, possible complications, renal replacement therapy (RRT) sessions performed, and the number of days in the hospital were recorded. Results. Assessment of SBP, DBP and HR values showed significantly better hemodynamic parameters and reduced dosages of vasopressor support at the end of surgery in group 1 compared to group 2 (p < 0.05). In the postoperative period, infectious complications were registered in one patient of group 1 and in three patients of group 2. Two patients from group 2 required RRT. All patients were discharged from the hospital, while the number of hospitalization days in group 2 was statistically significantly greater than in patients in group 1: 26.9 ± 3.9 versus 17.2 ± 4.3 (p < 0.05). Conclusions. Intraoperative infusion of 25% albumin solution allows stabilizing hemodynamic parameters at the end of LT surgery, reducing the need for cardiotonic support and shortening the hospitalization time in patients after LT.

Abstract Purpose To assess serial changes in the morphological and functional parameters, and indicators of myocardial perfusion in the perioperative period of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), depending on the preoperative management strategy. Methods 60 male patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) were randomized into two groups before on-pump CABG. Group 1 patients (n=30, aged of 61.5 [56; 63] years) underwent treadmill training at 80% of VO2max for a 7-day period. Group 2 patients (n=30, aged of 62.0 [56; 64] years) underwent routine management without prehabilitation. Cardiac morphological and functional parameters were evaluated using echocardiography in the preoperative period and 5–7 days after CABG. Adenosine loading single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was used to measure the parameters of myocardial perfusion before and after the indexed CABG. Data were processed using the QPS program (Cedars Sinai Medical Center (USA)) and the 17-segment polar mapping. Statistical analysis was performed using commercially available Statistica 10.0 software package (Statsoft, USA). Results Both groups demonstrated a decrease in LVEF in the postoperative period. However, an LVEF decline in Group 1 patients was less significant (p=0.00015) than in the control group (p=0.000003). LV end-systolic dimension increased by 8.5% and LV end-systolic volume by 18% in patients who underwent prehabilitation as compared to the baseline, whereas these changes were more pronounced in the control group (17% (p=0.00029) and 41% (p=0.00028), respectively). Group 1 patients demonstrated better myocardial perfusion parameters in the postoperative period. Patients in the prehabilitation group reported higher accumulation levels of radiopharmaceuticals in the basal (75.0 [72.5; 80] and 72.0 [70; 75]%, p=0.036), middle (87.0 [83; 91] and 81.0 [77; 84]%, p=0.012) and apical (86.0 [82; 89] and 82.0 [78; 86]%, p=0.037) myocardium as compared with those in the control group. The stress-induced ischemia (SDS) was less pronounced in Group 1 compared to Group 2 (p=0.025). Conclusion Optimized myocardial remodeling parameters and improved myocardial perfusion in the postoperative period have proved the effectiveness of high intensity physical trainings introduced in the prehabilitation program for CABG.

Background and objectives: Cryotherapy is a method of treatment using cold application. This study aimed to evaluate postoperative clinical and hematological parameters and pain associated with total knee arthroplasty in patients and compared cryotherapy to the conventional method of cold ice pack compressions. Materials and Methods: Between January 2015 and January 2016, 90 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty for grade 4 gonarthrosis were prospectively evaluated. The patients were divided into three groups (n = 30, each): Group 1, cryotherapy was applied in the pre- and postoperative periods; Group 2, cryotherapy was applied only in the postoperative period; and Group 3 (control group), only a cold pack (gel ice) was applied postoperatively. In all groups, pre- and postoperative evaluations at 6, 24, and 48 h, hemorrhage follow-up, knee circumference measurement, visual analog scale pain score, knee circumference, and temperature measured by thermal camera were recorded. Results: Of the 90 patients, 10% were men and 90% were women. The mean age was 64.3 ± 8.1 (range: 46–83) years. The patella upper end diameter values were significantly lower in the postoperative period in Groups 1 and 2 than in Group 3 (p = 0.003). Hemoglobin levels at 24 and 48 h postoperatively were significantly lower in Group 3 than in Group 1 (p < 0.001, each) and Group 2 (p = 0.038, p < 0.001). At 6, 24, and 48 h follow-ups, pain values were significantly lower in Group 2 than in Group 3 (p < 0.001). Preoperative 6, 24, and 48 h temperature values were significantly lower in Group 1 than in Group 3 (p < 0.001 for each). It was found that the difference between preoperative and postoperative knee flexion measurements was significantly different in both groups or the difference between the groups was changed in each period (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Postoperative cryotherapy is a potentially simple, noninvasive option and beneficial for the reduction of reducing pain, bleeding, length of stay, analgesic requirement and swelling after total knee arthroplasty. Moreover, there was no early or late prosthesis infection in cryotherapy groups, which may be considered as an additional measure to prevent prosthesis infection.

Chronic postoperative pain is one of the urgent medical and social problems of operative gynecology. The problem is preconditioned by a high prevalence rate, a significant impact on the outcomes of operative therapy and, as a consequence, patients’ quality of life. The goal of the paper is to study the role of preoperative neurotransmitter and psychoemotional dysfunctions in the development of postoperative chronic pain syndrome in an operative gynecology center. Materials and Methods. The study enrolled 156 patients aged 18–45 years who underwent planned surgical treatment for gynecological pathology. Patients were subsequently divided into 2 groups: Group 1 – women with postoperative chronic pain syndrome; Group 2 – women without chronic postoperative pain syndrome. The authors conducted general clinical examination, and also determined the levels of g-aminobutyric acid and β-endorphin in serum of patients using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A visual analogue scale was used to assess quantitative characteristics of pain syndrome. Qualitative characteristics of pain syndrome were assessed according to the McGill Pain Questionnaire. HAM-A and HDRS were used to assess psychoemotional state. Results. Postoperative chronic pain was observed in 39.7 % of patients 12 months after surgery. In the preoperative period, a pain syndrome was registered in all patients. However, there were no significant intergroup differences in its severity. Statistically significant predominance of the affective scale indicators was revealed in the pain syndrome structure in Group 1, while Group 2 demonstrated predominance of the sensory scale indicators (p=0.003). Group 1 demonstrated more pronounced changes in GABA and β-endorphin levels. An inverse correlation was found between the level of β-endorphin and the affective and evaluative McGill questionnaire scales. Various affective pathologies were verified in Group 1. However, depressive disorders dominated. Group 2 demonstrated only subdepression and individual clinically unformed anxiety symptoms. The authors found out depressive disorder correlation with the severity of preoperative pain syndrome according to visual-analogue scale, McGill questionnaire affective scale, and β-endorphin concentration. Conclusion. Neurotransmitter disorders and psychological dysfunctions affect the formation of postoperative chronic pain syndrome. There is a correlation between chronic postoperative pain syndrome, preoperative β-endorphin concentration (r=-0.70; p=0.028), and the severity of depressive disorders (r=0.65; p=0.012), which confirms their role as non-specific prognostic markers while monitoring the postoperative chronic pain syndrome. Keywords: gynecological pathology, postoperative chronic pain syndrome, neurotransmitters, affective disorders. Хроническая послеоперационная боль – одна из актуальных медико-социальных проблем оперативной гинекологии, что обусловлено высоким уровнем распространенности, значительным влиянием на исходы хирургического лечения и, как следствие, качество жизни пациентов. Цель – изучение роли предоперационных нейромедиаторных и психоэмоциональных дисфункций в формировании хронического послеоперационного болевого синдрома в клинике оперативной гинекологии. Материалы и методы. В исследовании приняли участие 156 больных в возрасте от 18 до 45 лет, которым выполнено плановое хирургическое лечение по поводу гинекологической патологии. Пациенты в последующем были разделены на 2 группы: 1-я – женщины с хроническим послеоперационным болевым синдромом; 2-я – пациентки без хронического послеоперационного болевого синдрома. Наряду с общеклиническим обследованием c помощью иммуноферментного анализа определяли уровень кислоты и β-эндорфина в сыворотке крови. С целью оценки количественной характеристики боли применяли визуальную аналоговую шкалу, качественной – болевой опросник McGill, для оценки психоэмоционального статуса – клиническую шкалу HAM-A и HDRS. Результаты. Спустя 12 мес. после оперативного вмешательства хронический послеоперационный болевой синдром наблюдался у 39,7 % обследованных. В предоперационном периоде у всех обследованных отмечался болевой синдром, при этом достоверных межгрупповых различий его интенсивности не выявлено. В структуре болевого синдрома у пациенток 1-й группы выявлено статистически значимое преобладание показателей аффективной шкалы, у женщин 2-й группы – сенсорной (p=0,003). У пациенток 1-й группы изменения уровней ГАМК и β-эндорфина носили более выраженный характер. Установлена обратная корреляционная связь уровня β-эндорфина с показателями аффективной и эвалюативной шкал опросника McGill. Аффективная патология различной степени выраженности верифицирована у всех больных 1-й группы. В структуре преобладали депрессивные нарушения. У пациенток 2-й группы наблюдались лишь субдепрессивные состояния и отдельные, клинически не оформленные симптомы тревоги. Установлены корреляции депрессивных расстройств c выраженностью предоперационного болевого синдрома по визуально-аналоговой шкале, аффективной шкалой опросника McGill, концентрацией β-эндорфина. Выводы. Нейромедиаторные и психологические дисфункции влияют на формирование послеоперационного хронического болевого синдрома. Установлена связь между хроническим послеоперационным болевым синдромом и предоперационными значениями концентрации β-эндорфина (r=-0,70; p=0,028), выраженностью депрессивных расстройств (r=0,65; p=0,012), что подтверждает их роль как неспецифических прогностических маркеров при мониторинге формирования послеоперационного хронического болевого синдрома. Ключевые слова: гинекологическая патология, хронический послеоперационный болевой синдром, нейромедиаторы, аффективные расстройства.

INTRODUCTION: A commonly used technique for lower limb surgeries is subarachnoid blockade. If there is inadequate control of pain, will affect quality, and functional recovery, also there is chance of postsurgical complications, and the risk of persistent postsurgical pain. Use of epidural analgesic technique for lower limb surgeries should provide better pain relief with minimal side effects, leading to improved outcome. Bupivacaine hydrochloride is a local anaesthetic drug, which was used clinically in 1963. Bupivacaine acts mainly by blockade of voltage-gated Na+ channels in the axonal membrane and possibly has a further effect on presynaptic inhibition of calcium channels. Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid which is similar to morphine but is 50 - 100 times more potent, which is used to treat patients with severe pain, especially after surgeries. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This prospective randomized study was conducted in the department of anaesthesiology at Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Science, Adilabad, to compare single shot epidural 8ml 0.5 % bupivacaine alone verses 8ml 0.5% bupivacaine along with 0.50 mcg Fentanyl. Total of 80 patients with ASA(American society of anaesthesiologists)  I and II with age group between 24 to 56 years were included and 40 patients each were randomly placed in bupivacaine alone group (Group 1) and fentanyl in combination with bupivacaine group (Group 2). Written informed consent from all the patients was obtained. RESULTS: Mean (SD) systolic blood pressure was observed to be 128.45(12.47) and 130.25(11.55) in group 1 and group 2 respectively. Mean time for T 10 sensory block was significantly earlier in group 2 12.03(1.12) compared to group 1 18.24(2.54). Onset of motor block was observed to differ significantly, where onset was significantly earlier in group 2 23.17(1.77) in comparison to group 1 28.45(1.49). The first analgesic requirement in Group 1 was earlier at 198.20 + 11.49 min as compared to Group 2 at 279.34 + 18.42 min. CONCLUSION: Bupivacaine with Fentanyl enhances the onset of action and duration of effect for two segment regression. In present study the time to achieve T10 sensory block was early in Group 2 12.03(1.12) compared to group1 18.24(2.54).Onset of group2 23.17(1.77) in comparison to group1 28.45(1.49). Time of first analgesic requirement was found to be earlier at 279.34 + 18.42 minutes in group2 in comparison to group1 198.20 + 11.49 minutes.

Objective. To study the adaptive capacity of a single remaining kidney in the early postoperative period of nephrectomy in an experiment. Materials and methods. The experiment involved 35 laboratory white rats, which were divided into three experimental groups. Group 1 (n = 5) intact animals, group 2 (n = 15) animals underwent nephrectomy on the left; group 3 (n = 15) animals underwent nephrectomy and additionally were created 90 minute hypoxic hypoxia. Histological material was collected on the 5th, 21st and 60th days after surgery. Results. Characteristic morphological changes in the only remaining kidney were an increase in the size of the glomeruli and a decrease in their number. Nephron fibrosis was detected, accompanied by increased production of antigens by the tubular epithelium, which is likely a response to a cascade increase in oxidative stress and increased release of cytokines that stimulate the production of intrarenal collagen. Conclusion. Nephrectomy and hypoxia are provocateurs for the development of systemic distress syndrome, the result of which is the formation of a vicious pathogenetic circle, which reduces the functionality of the renal tissue. This can be considered as one of the early preclinical mechanisms for the initiation of single kidney disease in the future.
