Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialPostoperative analgesia after preincisional administration of remifentanil.
The aim of this study was to assess postoperative analgesia after preincisional and postincisional administration of remifentanil. ⋯ The preincisional administration of remifentanil followed by a continuous infusion of 0.25 microg kg(-1) min(-1) appears to reduce pain scores and piritramid consumption when compared with a postincisional regimen.
