The authors have studied the efficacy of narcotic analgesics in the postoperative period by a complex method, including a psychosomatic questionnaire, spirography, volumetry, analgesiometry, as well as a examination of the cardiovascular system and acid-base balance. Under examination were 183 patients subjected to surgery for tumors of the female genitalia and rectum (a lower laparatomy). The analgesic activity of promedol, omnopone, morphine and polyvinly-morpholidone in routine doses was estimated. It was noted that, if not contraindicated, narcotic analgesics may be successfully employed for analgesia in the early postoperative period.
