title: [Thrombocytopenia and postoperative analgesia].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To develop effective and safe measures of postoperative multimodal analgesia (optimizing the use of narcotic analgesics) in surgical treatment of hematological patients with thrombocytopenia.
  
  
  METHODS
  A pilot and prospective comparative controlled study.
  
  
  METHODS
  We studied 27 patients with acquired thrombocytopenia who underwent laparoscopic splenectomy. Three schemes of anesthesia were used: 1) Nefopam 20 mg/day + trimeperidin (n = 7); 2) Paracetamol 4 g/day + trimeperidin (n = 10); 3) paracetamol + trimeperidin + glucocorticosteroids (GC) (through treatment of the underlying disease) (n = 10). Analgesic properties and effect of each scheme were assessed according to a rating scale of pain NRS (10 points) and VAS (100 points) studied. Additionally we evaluated the effect of nefopam and paracetamol on the functional properties of platelets and hemostasis, platelet levels while monitoring and indicators of thromboelastogram (TEG).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Application of paracetamol + trimeperidin accompanied with effectively reducing of postoperative pain (less than 5 points on the NRS). The level of postoperative pain was lower in patients who were treated with corticosteroids within the therapy of the underlying disease before surgery and who continued to receive it in postoperative period (2-3 points NRS). Nefopam use in the perioperative period is not only inferior to the analgesic effect of paracetamol, but also causes frequent side effects. Consumption of narcotic analgesic--trimeperidin when applying nefopam averaged 43 mg/day, the appointment of paracetamol--28 mg/day, using a combination of paracetamol + GC--20 mg/day. Thus, GC within the underlying disease treatment substantially reduces the need for opioid analgesics. A monitoring of the number of platelets and TEG did not shows negative effect of paracetamol and nefopam on platelet and plasma hemostasis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Nefopam and paracetamol may be used in patients with thrombocytopenia, as do not affect the hemostasis and platelet count. Application of postoperative analgesia scheme paracetamol + trimeperidin in patients receiving corticosteroids provides the maximum reduction of pain with the least consumption of narcotic analgesics.
