COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE DYNAMICS OF PAIN WHEN USING A STANDARD EPIDURAL ANALGESIA AND CHEMICAL DEINNERVATION IN PATIENTS WITH COLORECTAL CANCER
Keywords:
prolonged epidural analgesia, chemical deinnervation, 30° alcoholAbstract
The study analyzed the characteristics of pain in patients with colorectal cancer stage III–IV. It was found that on admission the patients had severe pain syndrome, which intensity was rated on a visual analogue scale, McGill Pain Questionnaire and Life Quality Scale. After the surgery on the 2nd day patients were conducted chemical deinnervation with 30° alcohol solution at Th9–Th10 level. As a result dose of a local anesthetic has been reduced, which was injected into the epidural catheter at the early postoperative period with the purpose of anesthesia. On the 5th day the pain was reduced or stopped completely. The study came us to the conclusion that the problem of pain in cancer patients today is relevant and requires a differential approach.
