If there is a choice between different techniques for a surgical procedure, one method to evaluate and compare the surgical techniques is to subject one group of patients to one technique, and the other group of patients to another technique, after which the surgical stress response triggered by the procedure is compared. The technique with the least surgical stress response is considered the best for the patient (Freeman et al., 2010; Höglund, 2012; Höglund et al., 2011; Kataja et al., 2007; Ledowski et al., 2005; Naitoh et al., 2002; Veenhof et al., 2011; Yoder and Wolf, 2005; Yoo et al., 2009).

Surgical stress

Surgery causes a stress response referred to as surgical stress. It is described as the systemic response to surgical injury and is characterized by activation of the sympathetic nervous system, endocrine responses as well as immunological and haematological changes. [1] [2] [3]

Measurements of the surgical stress response can be used for evaluation of surgical techniques and comparisons of different anaesthetic protocols. Moreover they can be performed both in the intraoperative or postoperative period. If there is a choice between different techniques for a surgical procedure, one method to evaluate and compare the surgical techniques is to subject one group of patients to one technique, and the other group of patients to another technique, after which the surgical stress response triggered by the procedure is compared. The technique with the least surgical stress response is considered the best for the patient. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

Similarly, a group of patients can be subjected to a surgical procedure where one anaesthetic protocol is used, and another group of patients are subjected to the same surgical procedure but with a different anaesthetic protocol. The anaesthetic protocol that yields the least stress response is considered the most suitable for that surgical procedure (Crozier et al., 1994; Goldmann et al., 2008; Ledowski et al., 2005; Väisänen et al., 2002).

Methods

Examples of used parameters are blood pressure, heart rate, heart rate variability, photoplethysmography and skin conductance. Essentially, physiologic parameters are measured in order to assess sympathetic tone as a surrogate measure of stress. Examples of commonly used biomarkers are adrenalin, cortisol, interleukins, noradrenalin and vasopressin.

History

Loss of nitrogen (urea) was observed in fracture patients by Cuthbertson. The reason for the patients’ catabolic response was not understood at the time, but later attention was turned to the stress reaction caused by the surgery (Cuthbertson, 1930; Wilmore, 2002). The evolutionary background is believed to be that a wounded animal increases its chance of survival by using stored energy reserves. The stress reaction thus initiates a catabolic state by an increased release of catabolic hormones. Additionally immunosuppressive hormones are also released. In a surgery patient, the stress reaction is considered detrimental for wound healing. Today, development of new surgical techniques and anaesthetic protocols aim to minimise the surgical stress reaction.
