| Core Tip |
This retrospective study evaluates the potential benefits and risks of the use of epidural anaesthesia within an enhanced recovery protocol in the subpopulation of cirrhotic patients undergoing liver resection. We included all cirrhotic patients who underwent open liver resection between January 2013 and December 2015 at our Unit. The study included 126 cirrhotic patients, 86 patients received general ana-esthesia and 40 combined anaesthesia. The two groups presented homogeneous characteristics. The epidural group had a lower intraoperative mean arterial pressure (P = 0.041) and received more colloid infusions (P = 0.007). Postoperative liver and kidney function did not differ significantly. Length of mechanical ventilation (P = 0.003) and hospital stay were significantly lower (P = 0.032) in the epidural group. No complications related to the epidural catheter management were recorded. |
