[Postoperative analgesia]

Abstract

Data of 53 patients, operated on infrarenal aorta and large vessels were analyzed. Different combinations of nonopioid drugs were compared, used postoperatively. These were: ketoprofen+tramadol; lornoxicam+tramadol; paracetamol+tramadol; paracetamol+lornoxicam+tramadol. All of the combinations provided good analgesic effect. Inclusion of paracetamol allowed faster pain relief and decrease of tramadol intake. In patients with an increased ulcer risk, postoperative analgesia should be based on paracetamol and tramadol.
