Optimal Multimodal Analgesia in Abdominal Hysterectomy

November 6, 2007 updated by: Hvidovre University Hospital
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).
