OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect of giving glucocorticoids preoperatively for the prophylaxis of surgical stress.
DESIGN
Prospective randomised study.
SETTING
University hospital, Japan.
SUBJECTS
30 patients undergoing resection of oesophageal carcinoma.
INTERVENTIONS
15 patients (group 1) were randomised to be given methylprednisolone (30 mg/kg) and 15 patients (group 2) to be given saline intravenously before operation.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES
Outcome, length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU), metabolic response, and oxygenation.
RESULTS
Patients given methylprednisolone had a mean stay in the ICU of 5.1 +/- 1.0 days compared with 8.2 +/- 4.5 days in the saline group (p < 0.01). 5 patients in the saline group compared with 0 in the methylprednisolone group developed postoperative complications (p = 0.02). Plasma norepinephrine and arginine vasopressin levels in methylprednisolone group were significantly lower than those in the saline group (p < 0.05). The PaO2:FiO2 ratio in the saline group was significantly lower than that in the experimental group (p < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS
Preoperative methylprednisolone may facilitate the postoperative management of surgical patients.
