Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to determine wether continuous wound infusion with local anaesthetic plus a single dose intravenous morphine is non-inferior to postoperative analgesia provided with continuous thoracic epidural infusion of local anaesthetic plus opiate, in patients undergoing open abdominal aortic aneurism repair.

  • Non-invasive blood pressure (mmHg) at each time-point(0, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 hours after emergence from general anaesthesia)
  • Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting(0, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 hours after emergence from general anaesthesia)
  • Number of patients that have restored bowel function at each time-point(0, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 hours after emergence from general anaesthesia)
  • Need for rescue doses of morphine at each time-point(0, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 hours after emergence from general anaesthesia)
  • Number of patients requiring oxygen administration at each time-point(0, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 hours after emergence from general anaesthesia)
  • Number of patients that have restored ability to walk at each time-point(0, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 hours after emergence from general anaesthesia)
  • Heart rate (bpm) at each time-point(0, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 hours after emergence from general anaesthesia)
