Objective |
To compare continuous infusion preperitoneal wound catheters (CPA) versus continuous epidural analgesia (CEA) after elective colorectal surgery.
Methods |
An open-label equivalence trial randomizing patients to CPA or CEA. Primary outcomes were postoperative pain as determined by numeric pain scores and supplemental narcotic analgesia requirements. Secondary outcomes included incidence of complications and patient health status measured with the SF-36 Health Survey (Acute Form).
Results |
98 patients were randomized [CPA (N = 50, 51.0%); CEA (N = 48, 49.0%)]. 90 patients were included [ CPA 46 (51.1%); CEA 44 (48.9%)]. Pain scores were significantly higher in the CPA group in the PACU (p = 0.04) and on the day of surgery (p < 0.01) as well as supplemental narcotic requirements on POD 0 (p = 0.02). No significant differences were noted in postoperative complications between groups, aggregate SF-36 scores and SF-36 subscale scores.
Conclusions |
Continuous epidural analgesia provided superior pain control following colorectal surgery in the PACU and on the day of surgery. The secondary endpoints of return of bowel function, length of stay, and adjusted SF-36 were not affected by choice of peri-operative pain control.
