Opioids are among the most ancient and widely used drugs in anaesthesiology. The pharmacology of opioid analgesics and their receptors is a complex and not fully understood matter; even more complex are the interactions between different classes of opioids at both molecular and clinical levels.

متن کاملPreemptive use of small dose fentanyl suppresses fentanyl induced cough.
BACKGROUND Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, is a popular choice amongst anaesthesiologists in the operating room. Pre induction intravenous fentanyl bolus is associated with coughing in 28-65% of patients. Fentanyl induced cough is not always benign and can be remarkably troublesome at the most critical moment of anaesthesia when airway reflex is lost. OBJECTIVES To study the effect of pre empti...
