About this study
Official title: Effect Nitrous Oxide On Acute Postoperative Pain and Opioid Consumption and Chronic Pain After Inguinal Hernia Repair Surgery
To compare postoperative pain, opioid consumption and chronic pain in patients undergoing to hernia repair surgery after receiving nitrous oxide or oxygen during the general anesthesia.
Read the detailed description
The study is prospective and double blind. In the clinic, patients undergoing inguinal hernia surgery that meet the criteria for inclusion into the study and agreed to participate in the study will be randomized into two groups. In the first group of patients will receive Nitrous Oxide and In the second group of patients will receive oxygen during the general anesthesia.
- Conditions
- Inguinal Hernia Repair, Post Operative Pain
- Being tested
- Nitrous Oxide, oxygen
- Medical subject headings
- Pain, Postoperative
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Nitrous OxideDrug
