Sažetak
Suggestive preparation before surgery may have a placebo effect and can reduce
perioperative consumption of analgesics. A total of 77 adult patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy
and hernioplasty were included in this prospective study. All patients were given 100 mg of ketoprofen
intravenously and were assigned to two groups. The first group was not informed about analgesia (no
preparation, NP group), and the second group were told that they will receive a strong painkiller (suggestive
preparation, SP group). Pulse rate, blood pressure and VAS scores were registered in all patients
immediately before anesthesia induction in the operating room (T1), after waking up in the recovery
room (T2), 6 hours after surgery at the surgical ward (T3) and on the morning after surgery in the surgical
ward (T4), at rest and during movement. Rescue nonsteroidals were offered to patients with VAS 3-4, and
opioids for VAS ≥5. The patients in the SP group had lower VAS scores in all measurements and lower
opioid consumption. A statistically significant difference was observed in VAS2 measurement during
movement (3 [2-5] vs. 2 [0-3.75] in the NP and SP group, P=0.008). SP had a placebo effect and reduced
VAS scores as well as opioid consumption.
