Intravenous methadone for pain management in cardiac surgery: a randomised controlled trial with plasma concentration analysis*

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Postoperative pain after cardiac surgery remains significant despite the administration of opioids. Methadone may improve pain control and decrease the need for postoperative opioids. Randomised controlled trials, however, are limited and the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass on methadone pharmacokinetics are unclear.

Gradual withdrawal of remifentanil delays initial post-operative analgesic demand after thyroid surgery; double-blinded, randomized controlled trial

BMC Anesthesiology, 2019
Background Mismanagement of remifentanil leads to severe side effects such as opioid-induced tolerance and hyperalgesia. Recently studies revealed an alternative withdrawal method to limit these side effects. A gradual withdrawal of remifentanil seems to

Effect of peri‐operative pharmacological interventions on postoperative delirium in patients having cardiac surgery: a systematic review and Bayesian network meta‐analysis

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Postoperative delirium is a common complication following cardiac surgery. Despite its known impact on patient outcomes, effective preventative strategies remain elusive. We aimed to perform a comprehensive Bayesian network meta‐analysis of randomised controlled trials assessing the effect of pharmacological interventions on the ...

Remifentanil post-conditioning attenuates cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury via κ or δ opioid receptor activation [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Ischemic pre- or post-conditioning of the heart has been shown to involve opioid receptors. Remifentanil, an ultra-short-acting selective μ opioid receptor agonist in clinical use, pre-conditions the rat heart against ischemia-reperfusion ...
