Remifentanil and tramadol.

چکیده

The lack of analgesic efficacy limits tramadol as a sole agent to treat severe pain after surgery. However, it has a relative lack of respiratory depressant and constipating effects compared with morphine and codeine, and does not share the propensity of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to provoke asthma, gastrointestinal mucosal damage and renal impairment. It may well have a place in the management of pain after surgery, in combination with another drug, such as paracetamol, or after control of the worst of pain after surgery by a regional local anaesthetic technique.

The effects of tramadol on postoperative shivering after sevoflurane and remifentanil anesthesia

BACKGROUNDS Remifentanil has been reported to cause post-anesthetic shivering (PAS). Higher doses of remifentanil reportedly induce more intense PAS. Tramadol, a synthetic opioid that acts at multiple sites, is considered to be an effective treatment for PAS, but the evidence for its therapeutic benefit after remifentanil anesthesia is limited. We investigated the effect of tramadol on the inci...

Post-operative analgesia after remifentanil-based anaesthesia

Remifentanil is a very potent ultrashort acting opioid, that is mainly used as a part of balanced anaesthesia regimens for management of intraoperative pain. Effective plasma levels of this drug can only be maintained using continuous infusions, as tissue esterases inactivate remifentanil within minutes following its application. The advantages of this specific pharmacokinetic behaviour are tha...

Case report: anaesthetic management of radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer associated with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis

BACKGROUND Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is a rare neurological disorder that is caused by the production of antibodies against NMDARs. As many anaesthetic drugs interact with NMDARs and may worsen the disease and because the disease poses risks, such as cardiovascular events, hyperthermia and respiratory insufficiency, while under anaesthesia, administering anaesthesi...
