[Nonsteroid anti-inflammatory agents (acelysin) in postoperative analgesia and intensive care]

Efficacy of nonsteroid antiinflammatory drugs in the system of postoperative intensive care of patients to relieve postoperative pain, reduce the aftereffects of surgical injury to tissues, and thromboembolic complications is pathogenetically validated. A high efficacy of water-soluble acetylsalicylic acid, acelysin, in patients after extensive oncologic surgery is demonstrated. Acelysin had a good analgesic effect without side effects and permitted reducing the dose of opiates for postoperative analgesia by 3 times in comparison with the control group. Acelysin infusion in the immediate postoperative period reliably prevented thromboembolic complications and ruled out the necessity of resorting to heparin. Acelysin is regarded as a special nonopiate component of postoperative intensive care noticeably improving its efficacy.
