Fentanyl Background Infusion for Acute Postoperative Pain

February 6, 2013 updated by: Jong Yeop Kim, Ajou University School of Medicine

The Efficacy of the Time-scheduled Decremental Continuous Infusion of Fentanyl for Postoperative Patient-controlled Analgesia After Total Intravenous Anesthesia

We investigated the efficacy and the safety of the pharmacokinetic model-based patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) regimens of fentanyl for postoperative analgesia after total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA).

Detailed Description

Infusions of fentanyl (2 ml/hr of diluent was equivalent with 0.5 μg/kg/hr of fentanyl) were maintained at the fixed-rate of 2 ml/hr until the postoperative 24 hr, or at the decremental rates of 6.0 ml/hr or 8.0 ml/hr during 1 hr, 4.0 ml/hr during 1~3 hr and 2.0 ml/hr during 3~24 hr, postoperatively.

Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: FX2-2-2
Their background infusions of fentanyl diluent (2 ml/hr of diluent was equivalent with 0.5 μg/kg/hr of fentanyl) were maintained at the fixed-rate of 2 ml/hr until the postoperative 24 hr
Other: D6-4-2
Their background infusions of fentanyl diluent (2 ml/hr of diluent was equivalent with 0.5 μg/kg/hr of fentanyl) were maintained at the fixed-rate of 2 ml/hr until the postoperative 24 hr (FX2-2-2), or at the decremental rates of 6.0 ml/hr (D6-4-2) and 8.0 ml/hr (D8-4-2) during 1 hr, 4.0 ml/hr during 1~3 hr and 2.0 ml/hr during 3~24 hr, postoperatively. The visual analogue scores (VAS), the incidence of inadequate analgesia, the frequency of intervention of PCA, and side effects were evaluated.
