Effect of Remifentanil Boluses on Hemodynamics in Skull Pin Insertion

NCT01056224 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 72

Last updated 2010-01-26

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Skull pin insertion during craniotomies is a brief, intensely stimulating, painful stimuli occurring during the conduct of a neurosurgical or spine anesthetic. Remifentanil is an ultra short acting opioid that has been successfully used to blunt hemodynamic responses in a wide variety of clinical scenarios. It is our intention to ascertain the optimal dose for blunting the hemodynamic response to skull pin insertion using remifentanil.

Conditions

  • Skull Pin Insertion
  • Short Duration Analgesia

Interventions

DRUG
