Biological stress response and study of pain in people with special needs under general anestesia during dental surgery
Abstract
Objectives: to investigate comparatively the effect of remifentanil vs fentanyl on stress response and postoperative pain in persons with special needs undergoing day-case dental surgery.Study Design: forty-six adult patients with cognitive impairment were enrolled for dental surgery under general anesthesia. Patients in group F (n=23) received fentanyl 50 μg iv bolus and in group R (n=23) continuous infusion of remifentanil 0.5-1 μg/kg/min. The investigated parameters were: intraoperative hemodynamic response, tumor necrosis factor-α, substance-P, melatonin, cortisol and β-endorphin measurements and postoperative pain scores. Results: the two analgesics had similar effects on stress response and postoperative pain scores. However, the use of remifentanil prevented the intraoperative hemodynamic response. Conclusions: the choice of the opioid during dental surgery did not affect stress and inflammatory hormones, although remifentanil may render intraoperative management of hemodynamic ...
