Abstract

Introduction : Anatrophic nephrolithotomy surgery usually cause severe pain and might cause respiratory complications. The efficient pain control permits patients to have quick recovery, save cost, and shorten hospitalization time. Besides, good pain control also benefit to emotional condition of both patient and relatives.

Purposes : To compare the efficacy of pain control of IV PCV Fentanyl, Epidural morphine and IV morphine around the clock in patients undergoing Anatrophic nephrolithotomy surgery in Mahasarakham hospital during October 2013-February 2015. Besides, cost effectiveness, complications and satisfaction are also compared.

Methods : A pilot study in 60 patients undergoing Anatrophic nephrolithotomy surgery under general anesthesia. The study population were randomly assigned into 3 groups. Each group received each type of post operative pain control as follow IV PCA Fentanyl, Epidural morphine and IV morphine  around the clock. Pain score, complications, cost, length of hospital stay and satisfaction score were recorded.

Result : There were no statistically significant difference between the 3 groups. Pain score in Epidural morphine group was statistically significant less than in IV morphine around the clock group (p<0.001) and also in IV PCA group. Epidural morphine causes more itching and nausea than IV morphine around the clock group ,p=0.001 and p=0.032 respectively. Furthermore, IV morphine around the clock  technique provide least cost benefit, cause highest cost and least satisfaction of all 3 techniques.

Conclusions : Epidural morphine is an effective method for post operative pain control in Anatrophic nephrolithotomy surgery, Besides level of satisfaction is superior too other methods. However Epidural morphine may cause itching in some patients. IV morphine  around the clock group cause highest cost during hospital stay and least cost-effectiveness. In conclusion, from this study we assume that Epidural morphine is the most effective post operative pain control method.
