Supports integrated perioperative strategies to blunt surgical stress; leaves open optimal protocol definition pending prospective trials.
This review summarizes the neuroendocrine and haemato-immunological changes during surgical stress and discusses approaches to minimize this response.
Ivanovs et al. (2012) conducted a review in Surgical stress. Strategies to decrease surgical stress (preoperative, perioperative, postoperative) was evaluated. The stress response to surgery, characterized by neuroendocrine and haemato-immunological changes, can be mitigated through appropriate preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative management strategies.
