Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to test the current standard of care (SOC) treatment for abdominal hysterectomy with a group receiving SOC minus epidural analgesia plus additional perioperative analgesics in terms of postoperative abilities, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), pain and discharge time from the PACU (post-anaesthesia care unit).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Planned Abdominal Hysterectomy Drug: Gabapentin Drug: Lidocaine Drug: S-ketamine Procedure: Epidural analgesia Phase 4

Detailed Description:

Aim of the study: to compare postoperative complaints (PONV, pain, etc) and PACU discharge time between two groups, for patients admitted for planned abdominal hysterectomy with or without BSO:

  • A: standard of care (SOC) receiving paracetamol, celecoxib, epidural analgesia, dexamethasone, ondansetron and droperidol, and general anaesthesia with propofol, remifentanil and cisatracurium
  • B: SOC with sham epidural analgesia, preoperative gabapentin, intraoperative lidocaine, s-ketamine and sufentanil
