Abstract

OpenAlex · English

Background: In this article, we evaluated the effects of preemptive oral gabapentin on post-anesthesia recovery criteria and acute and chronic post-thoracotomy pain. Methods: This prospective, randomized, clinical comparison study included 60 ASA II-III class patients undergoing thoracotomy for segmentectomy. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group G (n=29) received pre-emptive gabapentin 1200 mg peroral while group C (n=31) received placebo. Anesthetic procedure and post-anesthetic analgesia protocol were standardized. Spontaneous respiration, extubation, swallowing, spontaneous eye opening and verbal cooperation times, sedation, agitation and activity levels and modified Aldrete scores were evaluated. Time to first analgesic requirement, acute post-thoracotomy pain, and postoperative total morphine and additional analgesic consumption were recorded. The chronicity of post-thoracotomy pain was questioned using the Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (LANSS) at the end of one year follow-up. Results: Shorter verbal cooperation times (p=0.012), less agitation (at 15 min, p=0.001, and 30 min, p=0.001) and earlier recovery times (p
