Abstract:Objectives To investigate the effects of laparoscopic hysterectomy with general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia on stress response and fibrinolytic function. Methods A total of 80 cases undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy in our hospital were randomly divided into observation group and control group. The observation group had general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia, while the control group had general anesthesia. Results The blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) in the observation group returned to normal after operation, while those in the control group were still higher after pulling out the endotracheal tube after anesthesia and 24 hours after operation than the levels before anesthesia. The blood glucose level of the observation group 24 h after operation maintained normal level (5.0-6.0 mmol/L), while that of the control group was higher than 6.0 mmol/L, there was a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). The D-D and FDP levels of the control group were significantly higher than those of the observation group (P < 0.05). Conclusions General anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia is more effective to inhibit the stress response and hyperfibrinolysis in patients receiving laparoscopic hysterectomy. It is an ideal anesthesia for laparoscopic surgery, thus should be widely promoted and applied in clinic.
