sed as was substrate mobilization. The meta-
bolic changes during and after epidural anal-
gesia were small.
Overall mortality was low, reaching 6.5 %

major determinant of early mortality was the
patient’s preoperative medical condition whe-
reas late mortality was mainly influenced by

Although epidural analgesia seemed most
favourable producing only small hemodyna-
mic, respiratory and metabolic changes, no
differences in mortality related to the type of
anesthesia chosen could be demonstrated.
