Abstract
Background: Surgical stress and pain result in activation of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis. The aim of this study was to establish the effects of postoperative pain and various modalities of analgesic administration on salivary and serum cortisol levels, as well as to establish the validity of salivary cortisol as a stress indicator in surgical patients.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial involved 60 patients scheduled for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery. Patients were randomly divided into two groups depending on the model of postoperative analgesia. The first group (MI - morphine intermittently) included patients given morphine doses 0.1 mg/kg/6h s.c. intermittently. The second group (MPCA - morphine patient-controlled analgesia) included patients who received morphine via the PCA system - intravenous administration of morphine adjusted to a dose of 1 mg per shot and a lockout interval of 6 minutes.

clinical and medical biochemistry,
molecular medicine,
clinical hematology and coagulation,
clinical immunology and autoimmunity,
clinical microbiology,
virology,
clinical genomics and molecular biology,
genetic epidemiology,
drug measurement,
evaluation of diagnostic markers,
new reagents and laboratory equipment,
reference materials and methods,
reference values,
laboratory organization,
automation,
quality control,
clinical metrology,
all related scientific disciplines where chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and immunochemistry deal with the study of normal and pathologic processes in human beings.
