Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 19
Abstract
BACKGROUND: To assess the efficacy of rectal diclofenac suppository in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries in management of postoperative pain, in reduction of intra operative opioid requirement and in prolongation of postoperative analgesic initiation time. OBJECTIVES: This prospective randomized single blinded clinical trial evaluates the efficacy of rectal diclofenac suppository for the management of postoperative pain. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 100 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries were randomized into two groups, Group 1 patients receiving 100mg diclofenac rectal suppository after induction of general anaesthesia, Group 2 patients does not receive any diclofenac rectal suppository. Intra operative hemodynamic monitoring, post-operative VAS score and adverse reactions were recorded over period of 24 hrs. Intra operative opioid (fentanyl) was repeated when heart rate and blood pressure variability of more than 20% from base line are noted. Post operatively if VAS score is more than 4 rescue analgesia with inj. Tramadol is given intramuscularly. RESULTS: Administration of single dose of rectal diclofenac had statistically significant reduction in VAS score post operatively compared to control group, reduced requirement of intra operative opioids (fentanyl). Post-operative rescue analgesia initiation time is prolonged in group 1 mean 9.56 hrs compared to group 2, mean 0.72 hrs (p-0.000). CONCLUSION: Rectal Diclofenac used in laparoscopic cholecystectomy cases provide adequate, effective prolonged analgesia in the post-operative period with good safety profile.
