[The preventive effect of flurbiprofen on preventing mesenteric traction syndrome].
Mesenteric traction syndrome (MTS) is associated with facial flushing, hypotension and tachycardia. The ways to treat MTS are fluid replacement, administration of vasopressors and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as flurbiprofen. In order to stabilize the hemodynamics during operation, preventing MTS is more reasonable. Thus, we investigated the preventive effect of flurbiprofen on MTS, the only injectable formulation which can be used in Japan. ⋯ Our results indicate that pretreatment with flurbiprofen might prevent MTS.
