Filter by:Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) is the gold standard analgesia of the laparotomy in major abdominal surgery and can be associated with intravenous lidocaine or subtituted by intravenous lidocaine when TEA is contraindicated and in order to reduce the use of the morphinics in the perioperative period. Side effects can be paralytic ileus or nausea and vomiting and delay the enhanced recovery after surgery. Intravenous lidocaine and TEA share several properties like anti hyperalgesia, anti inflammatory effect, intestinal process, anti tumoral effect… which suggests an additive effect of their combination that was not studied yet.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to understand if women undergoing surgery for a suspected gynecologic malignancy are interested in participating in a Mindful Movement and Breathing program and what the effects of this program are on women and the surgery-related symptoms they experience. Mindful Movement and Breathing programs may be effective for easing distress, post-surgical pain, and other symptoms of surgical procedures.
