THE INFLUENCE OF VARIOUS METHODS OF ANESTHESIA ON TIME OF POSTOPERATIVE RECOVERY OF PATIENTS’ CONCIOUSNESS AFTER CURETTAGE OF UTERINE CAVITY

Abstract

Introduction: Scientific information sources point to the significant effectiveness of curettage of uterine cavity (CUC) as a diagnostic and treatment mode of gynecologic oncology. Today the anesthesia service is able to satisfy virtually all the requirements of a surgeon and a female patient, however, some institutional factors, as for example postoperative recovery of consciousness, and factors influencing it, remain unaddressed. The aim: to explore the possibilities of influence of different combinations and dosages of medical preparations used to provide monitored anesthesia care of CUC, to change the time of postoperative recovery of patient’s consciousness. Materials and methods: an interview of 96 patients by VAS, studies of cortisol, insulin and glucose levels in blood serum, measurements of time from the end of surgery to the awakening and complete recovery of consciousness and statistical processing of the results have been conducted. Results: A combination of 50 mg of dexketoprofen and half-dose drugs for narcosis can hasten the postoperative wake-up time by 38%, while maintaining dosages can prolong by 37% on the contrary. There is a dose-dependent effect of drugs for narcosis on the time of full post-operative recovery of consciousness. The reduction of their dosages by half can reduce this time by almost 40%. Conclusions: the dosage modification of anesthetic drugs and their combinations may have a significant effect on the time of postoperative awaking and complete recovery of consciousness in female patients after CUC. As a result, it has a positive physiological, psychological and social effect.
