    Postoperative epidural lignocaine analgesia significantly reduced bromosulphthalein (BSP) fractional clearance (K1) by 25% in surgical patients. This indicates a potential impact of epidural anesthesia on liver function during the early postoperative period.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Anesthesiology
    • Pharmacology

    Context:

    • Investigating the impact of postoperative pain management on liver function.
    • Assessing the effects of epidural analgesia on drug metabolism.
    • Evaluating liver function in surgical patients receiving lignocaine.

    Purpose:

    • To measure the fractional clearance of bromosulphthalein (BSP) in surgical patients before and after surgery.
    • To determine the effect of epidural lignocaine analgesia on BSP clearance.
    • To analyze the clinical implications of observed changes in liver function.

    Summary:

    • Bromosulphthalein (BSP) fractional clearance (K1) was measured in 12 surgical patients pre-operatively and 24 hours postoperatively.
    • Patients received continuous epidural lignocaine analgesia postoperatively.

  • A significant decrease of 25% (P ≤ 0.0001) in BSP clearance was observed postoperatively.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights a potential impairment of liver function during early postoperative recovery with epidural lignocaine.
    • Suggests the need for careful consideration of liver function in patients receiving epidural analgesia.
    • Provides data for further research into the mechanisms of anesthetic effects on hepatic drug clearance.
