Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficiency of Fast Track Surgery (FTS) program application and determine the role of the anesthesiologist in its realization during planned Cesarean section. There were 2 randomized groups formed (basic and control), which contained 22 patients each. The groups were identical by all anthropometrical indicators. The FTS was applied in the basic group while the control group was led in traditional postoperative mode. The level of postoperative pain was estimated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in rest and during cough 6, 12 and 24 hours after surgery, cortisol and glucose level dynamics, Baevskiy index, nausea and vomiting frequency, defecation and urination delay, presence of anxiety and weakness were assessed. The VAS and Baevskiy index were lower in the basic group during 12th and 24th hour of investigation, p < 0.05. There was no difference in dynamic cortisol levels in both groups. The values of cortisol levels didn't exceed those of presurgical levels. The tendency of hypoglycemia in control group that testified the prevalence of ketabolic proccesses was accompanied by weakness and orthostatic reactions. In both groups urination delay, nausea and vomiting were present. The obtained data proved the efficacy and safety of FTS during Cesarean section. The study shows that the decision of FTS has to be made by the anesthesiologist. It can improve perioperative conduction of patients and result in the promt stabilization of mother's condition after surgical intervention and result to the optimized contact with the child as well as reduce the period of hospital stay and decrease the expenses.
