Objectif : Évaluer et comparer les effets préventifs de la gabapentine et du tramadol sur la douleur postopératoire et les besoins de fentanyl lors d’une cholécystectomie laparoscopique.

Méthode : Quatre cent cinquante-neuf patients d’état physique ASA I et II ont été répartis au hasard et ont reçu 300 mg de gabapentine, 100 mg de tramadol ou un placebo, en double aveugle, deux heures avant la cholécystectomie laparoscopique sous anesthésie générale. Après l’opération, les scores de douleur ont été notés sur l’échelle visuelle analogique toutes les deux heures pendant les 12 premières heures et toutes les trois heures pendant les 12 h suivantes. Les patients ont reçu 2 µg•kg-1 de fentanyl intraveineux sur demande et la consommation totale a été notée pour chacun.

Résultats : Les patients du groupe gabapentine ont présenté des scores de douleur significativement plus bas pour tous les intervalles de mesures (2,65 ± 3,00; 1,99 ± 1,48; 1,40 ± 0,95; 0,65 ± 0,61) que ceux du groupe tramadol (2,97 ± 2,35; 2,37 ± 1,45; 1,89 ± 1,16; 0,87 ± 0,50) ou placebo (5,53 ± 2,22; 3,33 ± 1,37; 2,41 ± 1,19; 1,19 ± 0,56). La demande de fentanyl a été significativement plus basse avec la gabapentine (221,16 ± 52,39 µg) qu’avec le tramadol (269,60 ± 44,17 µg) ou le placebo (355,86 ± 42,04 µg; P < 0,05). La sédation (33,98 %), les nausées/haut-le-coeur/vomissements (24,8 %) ont été les effets négatifs les plus fréquents avec la gabapentine tandis que la dépression respiratoire (3,9 %) a été plus fréquente avec le tramadol et le vertige (7,8 %) avec le placebo.

Conclusion : L’usage préventif de gabapentine diminue significativement la douleur postopératoire et la demande d’analgésique de secours lors de la cholécystectomie laparoscopique.
