ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of different anesthetic methods on stress response in patients during laparoscopic hysterectomy. Methods 45 patients scheduled for laparoscopic hysterectomy were randomly divided into three groups: group A (n = 15) , group B( n = 15) and group C (n = 15). blood samples was taken from patients in each group before anaesthesia, at 10 min and 40 min after pneumoperitomeum with CO_2 , 10 min after operation, to determine the glucose (BG) , catecholamine ( CA ) , C - response protein (CRP) and interleukins -6( IL -6). The changes of MAP ,HR,P_(ET)CO_2 and SpO_2 were also recorded. Results After anesthesia, the MAP, HR significantly decreased in group A (P 0.05 ). Conclusion Combined general epidural anesthesia can effectively inhibit the stress response in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy.
