Epidural anesthesia as a base of anesthesiological support of laporoscopic colorectal surgery in patients of elderly and senile age
The comparative evalutation of 3 different methods of anaesthesia was perfomed. Total intravenous anaesthesia and 2 methods of combined epidural anaesthesia were tested. One method using propofol as a main sedative medication, another using sevoflurane. The advantages and safety of combined methods of anaesthesia were proven to be successfully used in elderly patients. It was proven that combined epidural anaesthesia with propofol as a main sedative agent is the most balanced method due to hemodynamic stability, decreased level of narcotic drug activity, leads to a faster postoperative recovery, early extubation, decreased level of postanesthetic complications and adequate level of postoperative analgesia.
