Heart rate, arterial blood pressures, respiratory rate, body temperature, and central nervous system excitement were compared before and after epidural administration of morphine (0.1 mg/kg), butorphanol (0.08 mg/kg), alfentanil (0.02 mg/kg), tramadol (1.0 mg/kg), the k-opioid agonist U50488H (0.08 mg/kg), or sterile water using an incomplete Latin square crossover design in five conscious adul...

We have studied the effectiveness and sequelae of low-dose suxamethonium in 60 day-case oral surgery patients requiring nasal intubation. Anaesthesia was induced with propofol and alfentanil; 60 patients were allocated randomly to three groups of 20 patients and received no suxamethonium, suxamethonium 0.25 mg kg-1 or 0.5 mg kg-1. All patients received i.v. fentanyl and diclofenac 100 mg rectal...

We studied 32 patients undergoing bilateral symmetrical lower third molar surgery under general anaesthesia to determine if the combined effects of pre-emptive local anaesthetic block using 0.5% bupivacaine, together with i.v. tenoxicam and alfentanil had any benefits over postoperative administration. Patients acted as their own controls and were allocated randomly to have surgery start on one...

We have studied in anaesthetized dogs the effects of alfentanil, fentanyl, pethidine and lignocaine administered intrathecally on nociceptive responses evoked by low and high frequency supramaximal electrical stimulation of the tibial and radial nerves. Doses were selected to abolish both A delta and C fibre somatosympathetic reflexes to single stimuli. Pethidine and lignocaine eliminated refle...
