Supplementation of general anaesthesia with narcotic analgesics.
نویسنده
چکیده
Four analgesic drugs--fentanyl, phenoperidine, morphine and pethidine--were compared in a double-blind trial involving 113 patients paralysed and ventilated with nitrous oxide and oxygen. The differences between the drugs were relatively small. There were only slight differences in "duration of action", a term which is questioned in this context. Pethidine appeared to have a slightly longer duration of action than the other drugs. The problems inherent in studying analgesics in this manner are discussed.

IN the past decade narcotic analgesics have been widely used to supplement thiopentone-nitrous oxide-oxygen anaesthesia. Pethidine (Neff, Mayer and Perales, 1947) and alphaprodine (Siker, Foldes, Pahk and Swerdlow, 1954) have been most frequently employed, but many other narcotics, e.g. levorphanol (Brotman, Cullen and Wilkins, 1950) and anileridine (Riffin et al., 1958) have also been used.

The effects of ten narcotic analgesics and three barbiturates have been investigated on respiratory rate, respiratory minute volume and blood Pco3 in the unanaesthetized rabbit. Both groups of drugs produced respiratory depression, and whilst the pattern of depression was similar for drugs of the same group, there were three main differences in the pattern of depression between the narcotic ana...

The drugs used for the relief of pain in the surgical sphere can conveniently be divided into potent and mild analgesics. The potent analgesics constitute essentially morphine and its semisynthetic and synthetic derivatives. The mild agents can be subdivided into those which are weak relations of the narcotic analgesics and those which possess antipyretic and anti-inflammatory in addition to an...

The cortisol response to surgery was studied in two groups of children one to eight years old during the first 24 hours after lower abdominal or peripheral surgery. The children were randomly allocated to a control (C) group (n = 6) or an epidural (E) group (n = 7). In Group C, surgery was performed under general anaesthesia and postoperative pain relief was achieved by using non-narcotic analg...

There has been a recent renewal of interest in the use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors in psychiatry. The concurrent administration of anaesthetic agents, particularly narcotic analgesics, is often a cause for concern. Although many monoamine oxidase inhibitor-drug interactions have been reported, in practice it is only the interaction with pethidine which has led to fatalities. What is not app...
