Comparison of Analgesic Requirements in Patients Receiving Nuss Operation Using 2 Different Anesthetic Adjuvants

ARNRD
Start date: September 2, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Nowadays, general anaesthesia is carried under "balanced anesthesia technique" in which many anesthetic adjuvants are used simultaneously, including opioid analgesics in order to reduce the amount of inhalation agents. The most popular adjuvants used are remifentanil, which is an opioid analgesic, and dexmedetomidine. Both of these agents are short acting, can be infused with targeted concentrations, excreted shortly from the body with stable hemodynamics. Remifentanil, when infused for more than 2 hours, causes hyperalgesia to increase the amount of pain postoperatively as well as the amount of opioid analgesics. However, dexmedetomidine does not cause hyperalgesia and is known to have an opioid -sparing effect. In our center. In this study, we aim to compare the effects of remifentanil and dexmedetomidine on postoperative pain in patients undergoing Nuss procedure, which is a very painful operation on the chest wall.
