ResultsOn postoperative day 1, epinephrine (p = 0,05), norepinephrine (p = 0.02), and glucose (p = 0.02) responses were higher after CC. Two days postoperatively, norepinephrine remained higher after CC (p < 0.01). Interleukin-1 f responses were higher during (p < 0.01) and 6 hours after CC (p = 0.03). Interleukin-6 responses were higher 6 hours (p = 0.03), 1 day (p = 0.02), and 2 days (p < 0.01) after CC.
ConclusionsThe results show significant lower values of intraoperatively and postoperatively measured epinephrine, norepinephrine, interleukin-1 f3, and interleukin-6 in patients with laparoscopic cholecystectomy, indicating a minor stress response and tissue trauma in this group of patients. The results correspond to the favorable results of most other trials evaluating clinical aspects of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

No benefit of prescribing bed rest in patients with deep venous thrombosis could be detected in this study. Based on data available, strict bed rest for at least 5 days is not justified if adequate therapy with low molecular weight heparin and adequate compression is assured. It remains open whether patients with initial signs of pulmonary embolism might profit from a brief immobilization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
