Does preoperative Slow-Release Morphine reduce Need of Postoperative Analgesics and Shortens Hospital Stay in Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass?
Preoperatively administered slow-release morphine significantly reduced the need for postoperative analgesics and shortened hospital stay, without side effects or other complications. At our department, the studied regime is now routinely used in all bariatric surgery and we have started to use the concept in other groups of surgical patients.
The results show that application of the KT to the RF muscle is not useful to improve sEMG activity.
