Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Analgesia and sedation in the subarachnoid anesthesia technique: comparative study between remifentanil and fentanyl/midazolam].
To assess the efficacy and safety of remifentanil in comparison with fentanyl-midazolam for analgesia and sedation during subarachnoid anesthesia. ⋯ Remifentanil is more effective for treating pain associated with a subarachnoid block and provides cardiovascular stability with a limited level of sedation per dose, but its use is associated with a high incidence of respiratory depression.
