Clinical Trial Summary

Percutaneous vertebroplasty has become a mainstay in the management of osteoporotic and malignant vertebral fractures. Procedural analgesia and sedation (PAS) with propofol and remifentanil may provides optimal hypnotic and analgesic effects.

Description:

Percutaneous vertebroplasty has become a mainstay in the management of osteoporotic and malignant vertebral fractures. Many anesthetic methods have been used in percutaneous vertebroplasty; however, there is no gold-standard method. Procedural analgesia and sedation (PAS) are one of the commonly used approaches. For its unique properties, including rapid onset, precise intraoperative control, and a fast recovery profile, remifentanil is preferable to other opioids administration in a target-controlled infusion (TCI) pump. Combination of remifentanil with propofol may improve sedation experience; however, it can increase a risk of respiratory depression. Moreover, propofol and remifentanil are often administered with 2 TCI pumps to, respectively, provide hypnotic and analgesic effects, which together are considered to be an ideal anesthetic technique.
