Influence of peroperative opioid on postoperative pain after major abdominal surgery: sufentanil TCI versus remifentanil TCI. A randomized, controlled study

Influence of intraoperative opioid on postoperative pain and pulmonary function after laparoscopic gastric banding: remifentanil TCI vs sufentanil TCI in morbid obesity.

BACKGROUND Choice of opioid may influence postoperative pain, recovery, and respiratory homeostasis in morbid obesity. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of target-controlled infusions (TCIs) of remifentanil or sufentanil on postoperative analgesia, recovery, and pulmonary function after laparoscopic gastric banding. METHODS Forty morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic ...

Dexmedetomidine versus remifentanil in postoperative pain control after spinal surgery: a randomized controlled study

BACKGROUND Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) is used widely in spinal surgery because inhalational anesthetics are known to decrease the amplitude of motor evoked potentials. Presently, dexmedetomidine is used as an adjuvant for propofol-based TIVA. We compared the effects of remifentanil and dexmedetomidine on pain intensity as well as the analgesic requirements after post-anesthesia care un...

Abdominal Pain after Cataract Surgery with Remifentanil Based Anesthesia

Remifentanil is an ultra short acting opioid that is suitable for many operations and is wildly used for induction and maintenance of anesthesia. In this article we have reported the incidence of abdominal pain after cataract surgery in patients with remifentanil based anesthesia. This study is a randomized single blind clinical trial on 300 patients who were candidates for elective cataract su...
