Study summary

It is well established that the resistance to the effects of insulin on glucose metabolism develops with a lot of stress hormone release after surgical trauma. This condition is known as insulin resistance (IR) characterized by hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and lactic acidosis. Surgical IR not only affect glucose metabolism but also influence protein synthesis, then further exacerbate the depletion of the carbohydrate, fat and protein.

Postoperative pain is a challenging task for patients and surgeons, and it is part of the stress response to trauma and surgery, while the fear of pain can exacerbate the stress response.

The main aim of this study was to invest whether effective postoperative analgesia can reduce the stress response and insulin resistance.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Insulin resistance in perioperative period of gastrointestinal laparoscopic surgery

    Time frame: 5 days after operation

Secondary outcomes

  1. The consumption of total and incremental tramadol after surgery.

    Time frame: 5 days after operation

  2. The tolerated dose of enteral nutrition every day after surgery

    Time frame: 5 days after operation

  3. Postoperative inflammatory factors (IL-4, IL-6 and TNF-α) and levels of stress hormone (glucocorticoids and catecholamines) in perioperative period of gastrointestinal laparoscopic surgery

    Time frame: 5 days after operation

  4. Rest energy metabolism was measured in perioperative period to evaluate the caloric and substrate needs of our patients

    Time frame: 5 days after operation

  5. The time of the first bowel movements and anal exhaust time after surgery

    Time frame: 5 days after operation or more

  6. Pain intensity at rest and during leg raising recorded daily after surgery using Visible Numeric Rating Scale

    Time frame: 5 days after operation

  7. Incidence of adverse events throughout the treatment period including nausea, vomiting, headache, urinary retention, somnolence, flatulence, and pruritus

    Time frame: 5 days after operation or more

  8. Liver and renal function tests in perioperative period

    Time frame: 5 days after operation

  9. Self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating questionnaire for depression before surgery

    Time frame: 1 day before surgery
